There aro not many twins, but Mr. Fletcher reports that all are strong and husky and there has only been one lamb lost to date. Mr..

SPEAKERS in the Court Room of the county court house have always been bothered with echoes and reverberations of sound, which made it very difficult to understand them.

Call us far suggestions and estimates. HOME THE VALLEY Mabel E. Morton, Volley News Editor Phones: Residence, Main 966; Office. Main 600 Cove market road was aleo said to have been impassable for a time. County road equipment is oeing usea on the market roads at such times and traffic on them has not been held up long. Residents in the sec tion north of Pleasant Orove and around to Summervllle report about a foot of snow and blocked roads on Sunday only. They were soon opened up and travel possible. This is a new experience for . people in that Dartlcular section of the valley. as they have been more used to set tling down at tne nrss Bnowiaii ana remaining in until spring weather. It is needless to add that this is all very much appreciated. Daughter is Here Mrs. Bryan Snyder came to the valley about two weeks ago from her home in Idaho to assist In the care of her mother, Mrs. Fowler. Mrs. Fowler, who lives on the highway be tween Alice! and Imbler. has been ill the lost few weeks, pernicious anaemia being the cause of her ill ness. She was reported as being some better yesterday. Entertains Young People The young people in the family of Mrs. Mary Blokland of near Island City had for their guests last Tues day evening two bob loads of the Epworth Leaguers of the La Grande church. The crowd - had been out for a two or three hour ride in two of Art McCall's bobs and went later to the. Blokland home for some hot food. It was a very happy evening for all, so the reports go. Having Fine Time ' Word from Mrs. J. A. Holman, of the valley, who has gone to Santa Rosa. California, to spend the rest of the winter at the home of her daughter, is to the effect that she is having a good time and is feeling better. The trip down to California was quite hard on Mrs. Holman es pecially since she was quite Hi most of the way, but she began to feel better as soon as the trip was com pleted and now she is enjoying the less severe weather. She was met by a relative in San Francisco and the trip the rest of the way was made by car. Eggs Desirable Food Eggs at the present time are 'one of the cheapest of healthful foods. In view of this fact, the home eco- j nomlcs division of the extension service ui, ureguu ouiie coiiej-u mis compiled a list of .recipes in which eggs are used. Miss Frances Clinton, who has Just recently been promoted from homo demonstration agent at large to the office qf home demon stration agent In Multnomah county, and who has assembled these recipes says, "One egg a day for each mem ber of the family, especially the younger members, is a practice tend ing to lead to good health. Eggs are rich in protein needed for the growth of muscle, bone and bipod. They contain iron, phosphorus and calcium in usable forms. Eggs are also rich in vitamins A, B, and D, to be sent to anyone interested. They may be obtained by writing the home economics division of exten sion at the college and asking for H.

Cattle Increasing i The beef cattle population of Ore gon now totals 376.000 head with a tendency toward an Increase in pro duction, according to H. A. Llncl gren, livestock specialist of the Ore gon Extension service of our state college' at Corvallls. who was in Union-county on business last week. The price of breeding cows and heif ers has increased from $5 to $10 a head during the past few months. Due to scarcity of range, however, Mr. Llndgren believes that the ra pidity with which beef cattle will increase in this state depends upon tho reduction in the number of sheep. ! , Doing Splendidly Mrs. W. E. McClure of Grange Hall, a patient at the Oronde Ronde hospital continues to mako a very satisfactory improvement. Mrs. Mc Clure was operated on Sunday for acute appendicltlB. Have Party We almost neplected to mention LUMBER the swimming party at the Cove pool on New Year's day. This has come to be an annual custom at the pool, and this year It is reported that a carload of girls from La Grande were the guests. Mrs. Sent ner always managees to have the bath houses good and worm and as the water in the pool never varies in temperature, the New Year's swim is quite an event. It will not be long now, however, until we can all go over for our daily plunge. OK Again ' " Miss Mildred Blokland of near Is land City has completely recovered from her recent operation for the removal of her tonsils.

The ter rific wind of that day which blocked so many of the side roads kept many of the people at home who had planned to attend, but those who could get out enjoyed the evening immensely.

The announcement is made by Prof. G. R. Hyslop, well-known lo cally, chief in farm crops, who is at the head of tho commltteo making tho arrangements for the course This sizable short course faculty vcntlon of the . Oregon Woolgrow crs" association at Burns. No claim Is made of any saving effected for the thirty cars where sales returns come directly to owners. This sav ing, however, amounted to several thousands of dollars If tho alterna tive of a local buyer's prico Is con sidered. "Every lamb pool claim was paid by check. The copies of ail settle ment statements are on file, as well as the cancelled checks. The total money received by the association was $40,313.38. Wo havo figured carefully the average secured by tho pool. Anyone shipping outside the pool who got more than this average hit a pretty good market and was mighty lucky also.
