good time.
Everyone, especially the farmers are
in the midst of their hayin? and we
all want the rain to keep off until we
are all through. Several had their
hay cut down before the heavy rains
came in and it is the worse for the
wetting it got or rather soaking. The
hay crop is unusually big and nothing
will b; lost in the long run by the
excessive rainfall we have bad.-.
Grain is looking fine and Grande
Ronde gives the promise of one of
the heaviest crops that she has ever
had. Owing to the heavy rains the
grain on some of the farms was grow
ing: si rank that it had besrun to fall
but the warm suushine of the oast few
days is remedying that and the grain
never looked better than now.
Owing to the threatening weather
and bad roads quite a number of our
citizens were kept at home on the 4th
of July. Several were planning to go
t Baker, Elgin, La Grande and other
nlaces ht cave it ud and staved at
home. There were several family pic-.
nics ana reunions. In the evening
quite a number of people gathered on

'worth of goods is missing this morn
ing, including pocket knives, razors,
revolvers and watches of the cheaper
kinds.
j The entry of the store was made
through the - back way, the burglars
having hidden in the back store room
sometime in t'ae ar;ernoon and being
locked in when the closing hour came.
Then, when all was quiet, the pad
lock on the back store door was brok
en, a steel rule was slipped in the
side of the door and the iron bar was
raised. Afterwards they stood upon
something and cut a hole through so
they could get an arm in and shoot
the bolt, thus fyininqr admission.
, While the work indicates that it was
done by professionals in possession
of a "jimmy" for forcing the doors, yet
it is thought that if mr,y be some lo

carefully kept bv the irffiwrs, and the
outside officers m nearby counties
were notified. Pendleton Live Wire.
