A 'crew of about a dozen men
have been employed at the Wealh
erspoon orchard thinning the apple
crop. This was a job that was not
especially heavy lust yeur on ac
count of conditions, weal her, wind,
etc. This ywr, however, it Is of
greater proportions and will take
much longer time. Damage from
halt early in the season will rut

ugo reviewed in a measure,, opera
tions ot tho past year und empha
sized what tho presence of the
lumber company In that section of
tho county had meant. It is given
us follows:
"On the 25th day of July, which
would bo just one year ago today,
tho sawmill of tho o ran no Kontie
Lumber Co. sawed Us first log ut
Pondosu.l Oregon. Therefor, the
residents and community in which
this ntugulflccnt mill Is located i
hayo met to celebrate .tho occasion. I
This business coining unions us,
has boon tho means of stimulating
trade und furnishing u market tor
of tho community . that surrounds
It, as well as furnishing labor ut
remunerative prices to many of our
local people, at tho same time en
abling tho populaco to erect need
ed Improvements on their farms.
Prior to tho coming of the mill,
we wcru iti an Isulated coudillou
lor such material.
"Furthermore the establishing of
this enterprise among us has. been
the means of both union and Baker
I counties giving' our community
good graded and gravelled roads,
which have been so sorely needed,
these many years. It Is also the
means' of increasing our revenue
for school purposes by Increasing
the number of pupils of school
ugo to draw public money, both
state and county. It has also been
tho means of bringing among us
many good families and well
meaning, public-spirited neighbors,
which is highly appreciated. .
"By the establishment of a
Woman's club, which Is a llvo-wirc
there is ulways a pleasing enter
tnlnment scheduled, to drlvo away
dull care and make this life more
nearly just what It should be, for
life to most people is to a great
extent just what they make It for
themselves.
"The advent of a railroad lu our
midst was a thing not drcumed of,
or even thought of in ull time to
como by home-builders of our
community, but hero it Itf today
dojng a lively business.' bringing lu
great train loads of white pine logs
from the adjacent virgin moun
tain forests and sending out the
finished material, the' product of
these .forests to tho markets of the
world. The forests adjucent and
tributary to this enterprise a re
estimated to be rufficient to keep
the mill In steady operation at the
rate of an output of JOO.OUO feet
of lumber each 24 hours for the
next 30 or 40 years and It really
seems thut the promoters of this
industry have budded wltji un un
derstanding. I'or all their build
ings both great and small are
founded on concrete, which makes
them us eternal as tho hills that
are about thein.
"h'or all these reasons set forth,
and others not herein mentioned,
the community In which these vast
and worthy Improvements are lo
cated, feel to demonstrate und
show their hearty good w ill for
their being with us that they
celebrate (he day of the first an

the best of wishes for the future
welfare and prosperity of this great
