From tho very first of her illness, Mrs. Kvanson's condition wns considered as being very grave, a tumor which was attached to tho Intestines being t he cuusc of her trouble. There were days when members of her family had some 1 encouragement but most of the ftimo they felt It was a losing struggle. Several blood transfu sions were mado and these gave temporary relief. M rs. Kva nson was pust 70 years of age. JTer funeral is being held this after noon.

Ho says of it: Frank Shepcrd of Wal lowa Jike has for several years operat"d a small dairy and vege table farm at the head of the lake. He fcllM vegetable;', milk, cream and other produce to tourixt visit ing there. Ho has surrounded his garden with a fence about 10 feet high to keep out the Wallowa Jak" herd of elk. They can do much damage to a garden or crop. Mr. Shepherd has lee cold spring water on his place. It n quite an attrac tive placo even though it la not very widely known. To Slime At I nloii Three Future Karinere of Amer ica from t!' -ic!utty el V.'alk.i are to mako entries at the Eastern Oregon livestock show it is re ported. Molvin Oillesplo will exhi bit a fine cow nnd calf; James XiOundagin will havo a fin sheep there and Johnny Johnson will take soma of his purebred hogs. Interesting1 Visitors : Interesting visitors in this vicin ity over tho week end were Mr. and Mrs. A. Morgan Kent of Washing ton, D. C, who came through here on an extended business trip which will cover 11 months by the time It shall have been completed. They started from New York City and came west by tho southern route, covered California then over the northwest and are now headed east again. On this trip they havo al ready covered 12,000 miles. Travel ling for business purposes is vastly different from travelling for pleas ure and bus none of the thrill ac cording to Mrs. Kent who does ail tho driving. Mivund Mrs. Kent stated that they have mado it a 'rule to always stop off on Sundays and attend church, that that is the only touch of "homo" they have through tho months and miles. Their experiences in churches have I been varied. Tho warmth nnd cor- 'diality varies with the localities, so Mrs. Kent said. Tho churches of tho northwest are not very warm and friendly, she sal.1, with Tacoma 'ranking easily the worst. Mr,, and Mrs. Kent hunted out a church in Ia Grando Sunday. "We heard a i wonderful sermon, and tho music was good," said Mrs. Kent, "but not ono person in that whole church spoke to us. Of course, we did our part and wo enjoyed the service but we lacked tho fricndli- 'ness wo hoped to find In a church." Annual Dinners - Tho terrible weather. of last Fri day cut down the crowd attending various, community () in tiers over tho valley quite materially accord ing to reports at hand. Thero were still a good many roads which lead to Summervllle, however and while there was not. tho usual jam, the patronage was good, was steady and several hundred people were served. Mrs. Mary Wood ell wns in charge and sho had helping her a great company of Summervllle folks, both men and women who havo learned how to serve their 'dinner -with a minimum of tlme-und confusion. Old timers know enough to fast a whllo before going to a 'Memorial Dny dinner at Smnmer 'villo so it requires no Pinkerlon to detect the folks who nro there for tho first timo. Tho dispensers of tho roast chicken report that 'pcopln still havo the idea that chickens are all white meat, how over, no ono could complain of tho generous servings of everything.

A VALLEY WOMAN BUILDS UP TRADE IN BEDDING PLANTS Tho things which women have done ln this valley aro fascinating. Onco wo had a etory of a farmer's wife who mado $500 worth of cot tage cheeso for La Grando custom ers, two or threo yoars ago. Most folks aro familiar with tho work kf tho two women who had a sur plus of cucumbers ono year and lilt upon tho idea of making that surplus into pickles and tho busi ness grow until thoy sent out .their pickles ovor a wido torrltory. This is tho story of a woman who planted seeds nnd raised her own garden and flower plants and os she had moro room sho raised more plants. Sho had a few to sell, nnd they wero so 'hardy and sturdy that sh found a ready mar ket. That , was about seven years ago and this year with 07 actual ly 57 varlotles of garden and flow er plants, Mrs. Homer D. Wilson of Fruitdale is sending her plants by tho thousands over this and Baker counties. Mrs. "Wilson is qui to proficient In her line, .work talceu at college having been supplemented by her experiences gained through tho years. On tho Wilson placo thero aro 30 acres in garden, vegetables grown for commercial purposes, lettuce, corn and tomatoes. Tho 'last of this week 500 crates of head 'lettuce will bo shipped from thoir patches. Hotweon 3500 and 4000 'tomato plants aro being wot out this week to roplaco thoso killed by tho frost ton days ago. I Of tho plants, Mrs. Wilson raises both tho annuals and perennials. Tho varieties havo boon selected by experience. Thero aro some favorites, naturally. Potunias aro always good, Mrs. Wilson says. They are showy In a bed and they aro easily ' raised. Snap-dragons and asters aro tho others of tho three most wanted varieties. Of tho perennials, delphinium is the popu- J'lar ono nnd next perhaps comes tho Persian daisy. Somo folks 'sentimental you ask? want forget-mo-nots. Verbenas aro very nearly left out. Customers will look at the 'display and order oh say, two 'dozen asters, a dozen and a half ;,'Hnap-drugous, and on down a list which may closo with,, "and thrco verbenas," so Mrs. Wilson says. ltUNlnoHH is rathor slow this sea . son, influenced very largely sho ; believes and cpjito naturally by tho weather conditions.

Reports Show Wool Market Is Standing Firm Local sheep growers will bo in terested In reports sent out by au thorities within tho Inst fow day which state that In contrast with tho rathor porsiatently dull domes tic wool market, thero Is noted a deflnlto upward trend in prices l foroign markets. However, thero aro Indications pointing to stabili zation of tho domostio markets, al though tho prico level for wool has not changed materially at Bos ton recently. At London, tho third Colonial Series closed at advances of 6 to 10 per cent for grenso wools. Aus tralian sales have shown a similar condition with a distinctly stronger tono ovldont. Thero appears to bo no question about fine wools being on tho up-grado. not only in for oign markets, but also In tho United States. . Montana roports somo fluo nnd half-blood wool at 20 to 23 cents, tween 19 and 22 cents, Idaho busl with Wyoming prices ranging bo nctis hus shown wools going at 19 to 22 oonts. Novada sales run go around 17 to 19 conts, while ln Utah 18 to 22 cents would about cover tho situation. !
