Mr. Will s tier has been In the hos

cember. Work Road
Some extensive repairing is being
done on the Island City-Cove high
way; which is greatly appreciated by
patrons of that road. The places
which had taken on a decidedly
washboard effect have been dragged
and graded and a new top coat of
gravel is being spread. The wind and
the snow did much damage to this
road, which has perhaps heavier
traffic than any of the other market
roads in the county.

ber of the staff of the Oregon

PROF. A. GRACE JOHNSON
When Miss A. Grace Johnson, head
of tho department of household ad
ministration, school of home eco
nomics, at the Oregon State agricul
tural college, comes to La Grande
Wednesday and Thursday, February
11' to 12, to address the home eco
nomics sections.' at -the eighth an
nual economic conference, she will
not come as a stranger. Miss John
son Is among the most popular and
widely known professors on the
state college campus and consequent
lyhas a wide acquaintance over the
state. She was also one of the con
ference speakers last year and made
many friends In Eastern Oregon at
that time.
Miss Johnson has been for the
past 14 years a member of the fac
ulty of Oregon State college and for
ten years of this time has been in
charge of the homo management
house in which most of Oregon's
gtrts taking home economics have
lived. She is a native of Indiana
where she attended school. She
studied at Purdue university and
holds degrees from Columbia uni
versity. Recently she studied stand
ards of living in England and had
unusual opportunities to visit Eng
lish homes. Miss Johnson's experi
ence Is varied and rich. She has
taught country, village and city
schools and was supervisor of home
economics for three years in Kokomo,
Indiana.
During her years at Oregon State
she has taught nutrition and house
hold management and not the least
popular among her courses were those
'on foods for the men students. More
recently Miss Johnson's Interests
have been centered upon budgets

possible needs even if feeding weath
er should last until well into Aoril,
Stock consumed large amounts of
ieea auring tne entire month of De
cember and the first week of Jan
uary, however, since the weather has
become warmer, some of the feeders
say that but lltle more than half the
amount of feed Is being eaten. Where
ground feeding has been practiced
with the larger herds of stock there
has been practically no waste of feed.
Hay prices are said to-be hanging
around the same point at which they
started off at lost fall with the bulk
of the sales being made at $8 per
ton. . It is understood that a few
are still holding for $10.
Butchering of hogs and bcoves
has been in progress at many of the
farms in this community during the
past two weeks. A few lots of fat
hogs are being marketed at this
time. A mixed car of hogs and lambs
was sent out from here the latter
part of the week by the Wallowa
county stock marketing association.
Bill Boyd of Lower Valley bought a ,
few small lots of lambs in the com- '
munlty for shipment with some of ;
his own, the price paid locally is said '
to have been 5c per pound for good I
weight lambs that were fat.
Changeable
Weather In
Wallowa Co.
WALLOWA, Ore. (Special) Resi
dents of this section of the country
have been treated to a considerable
variety of changes in weather condi
tions during tho past week. Since
early in December, thero lias been
almost a complete absence of wind
or storm, until the early part of the
past week, when some new snow fell.
Warmer conditions followed during
the first three days of the week with
several hours rain and wet snow on
Friday. About a foot and a half of
loose dry snow covered the hill farm
ing section, with the depth a few
Inches less in the valley sections.
Rain and warmer weather has caused
the snow to settle considerably and
to disappear almost entirely on
some of the south slopes.
Despite the warmer weather and
melting of the snow, reports from
various parts of tho community
state that thero Is but little change
In the stock water situation. It
seems that the thawing was not of
long enough duration to allow much
of tho frost to be drawn from tho
soil and let water reach the veins
feeding the wells and springs. Some
of the farmers In the Leap and Dry
Creek sections are said to be prac
tically out of water at this time and
at many of the farms it has been
necessary to let a Dart of the live
stock go without water, at least a
part or tne ,tlme. during the past
several weeks. Some have been for
tunate in having enough water for
house needs and watering milk cows
and such stock which necessarily
need plenty of water dally. Whiskey
Creek at the T. A. Bakke place, two
or three miles east of town Is the
nearest dry that it has been seen in
many years, while some water was
running in the creek during a part
of the cold weather in December,
continued freezing has finally prac-
iicany sioppea it ut most places. i
Some of the farmers who have been !
hauling into the hills filling their
wells have found it necessary to !
come down the creek a considerable I
distance in order to find enough wa- j
ter with which to fill their tanks, j
A rather low supply of water In Bear )
Creek together with severe freezing!
at the intake caused a water short- I
age in town during the first of lest i
week, .but little water could be got-j
ten through the water system dur- :
ing the greater portion of one day.'
Cleaning away of the ice at the In- ,
take, however, soon remedied this
trouble. Much of the snow on the
surfaced roads here has been melted
away with warmer weather mitkini: j
sleighing poor for heavy hauling.
