Very Seriously III ,
As this Is being written, little I
Miss Betty Jane Howell, daughter I
of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Howell of the
Valeria district lies critically 111 at!
the uranao1 iwime uunpiwu. Betty
jane became quite 111 while at the
Valeria school a week ago yesterday,
being with her mother, who Is the
teacher there. Since that time her
condition has been regarded as
grave and she was taken to the hos
pital Wednesday morning. It win be
remembered that the little girl was
very 111 several weeks ago when an
operation tor acute appendicitis was
performed. During the Intervening
weeks she had been making a satis-
22? r,,.th'l!? b-,
abscess in her side together with
pneumonia.
Hove Nice Trip.
Mr., and Mrs. Lon Ayers of the
Island City-Cove highway went on
a trip recently, visiting with friends
at Spokane, Lewiston, Grangevllle,
Walla Walla and other places. They
saw Walla Walla shortly after the
flood season and report that pub
licity given the calamity was very
conservative. The Ayers were in the
district Wednesday where the heavy
winds wero causing such terrible dust
6torma in the- valley. There . was
some consolation about it, however,
they stated. During the storms of
the winter -considerable of one of
Mr. Ayers' summerf allowed fleTds
wero transferred either to the high
way or to neighbors -fields beyond
the highway. Wednesday the case
was reversed and the soil seemed to
be coming back to its original local
ity. The wind of Wednesday played
havoc over a greater part of the val
ley, taking some trees, large and
small limbs of others, telephone
poles, etc. A north wind, such as
that one was, is not so common ln.

A Fortunate Accident !
There are such and this Is one of
them. One evening last week Ray
mond Breshears, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Jay Breshears of lower Cove was
taking his sister to a school enter
tainment at Cove. Wliile in front i
of the Harlan Koger place a horse
suddenly loomed up in front of the
lights of the Breshear car. The boy, 1
who was fortunately not travelling
fast, applied the brakes but not in
time to avoid a collision. The car
Just hit the hind leg of the horse, 1
breaking it and damaging the fen
der, headlight, etc.. on the car. It
is stated that had the car been go
ing faster it would probably have
been overturned by the impact and
the results more serlouB. It was
necessary to kill the horse. Mr.
Koger did not know the animal was
in the road as he is not accustomed
to turn stock, out that way. But
earlier in the evening he had driven
the horses from one field to another
one across the road, and this one
probably strayed down the road at
that time, unnoticed, it is said,
That Ilaimiw Tree
Lost fall we had something to say
about a small banana tree which
Ada Breshears of lower Cove had
brought back with her from her
three months sojourn In California.
That tree is making splendid growth
and we still have hopes of eating
some bananas from It some day. It
is a year old now and has a bulky
stalk with seven hardy leaves.

Although we claim to read the
Ontario (California) Daily Report
most religiously wc evidently missed
one item of Importance last week.
That was the death of Justus
Wright, a pouitryman for 20 years at
Ontario and a brother of the Hon.
Dunham Wright of Union county.
The brother, who was 80 years old,
dropped dead while about his duties
on his ranch. Mr. Wright was one
of the early pioneers of the valley
and homestead ed the land which is
now the site of the mill town, Pon
dosa. The death occurred on Tues
day of last week.
Damages
Other damages which have been
reported following tne terrific wind
storm which visited the valley on
Wednesday, was the razing of the
big machine shed on tho Will Case
farm near Alicel. A strange thing
happened at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Jay Breshears. A -quite sizable
rosebush waB completely blown from
tno ground. . -j

A FEW FARMERS
EXPERIMENTING
WITH FIELD PEAS
Union county Is not behind other
counties. In Eastern Oregon in the
experiments with tho raising of field
peas, which in some sections have
been found to, bo quite profitable.
According to county agricultural
agent, Harry D. Avery, a contract
price of two cents, fall delivery, has
been offered to growers, but it is
believed tbat inasmuch as tho sea
son is so far advanced, not many
will take advantage of this new
thing, here, in farm crops.
Three valley farmers aro making
some experiments this ycar, in an ef
fort to ascertain whether or not the
peas can bo grown here to advantage,
Grover Orlmmett, who lives In the
Mt. Glen neighborhood and who Is
one of the large land holders in that
part of the valley, is making a test
of three different varieties on ono of
his farms. 8. E. Starr of Hunter's
Lane, and Mr. Berryman, who hns
recently come Into the vnlley, own
ing the old Glenn place near Sum
merville, have each put in about one
ton of seed. These three plan to grow
peas for seed purposes. As we under
stand it, tho real test is to come at
harvest time when local men will
attempt to use their combines in the
process. If they prove successful, it
will be a big factor In the answers
sought locally.
The variety of field pea which is
being used here resembles the gar
den pea very much, the chief differ
ence being in tho bloom.
Thero is a different motive in the
minds of some Baker county farmers
who are planting the peas this ycar.

About tho Text Hooks
There have been many questions
asked about the new free text book
law, passed by the last session of
tho stato legislature. County super
intendent of - schools, E. A. Say re,
has recently addressed a letter to
tho school officials of the county
wherein tho following explanation Is
made:
The new law makes it mandatory
that each school diBtrlct shall in
clude in its budget $1.50 per child
enrolled In tho elementary grades
for new text-books. If your budget
is to be voted on nt tne - annual
scnool Iieetingi Juno i5l use this

when children are througn . witn a
textbook that the book bo donated
to' tho district. Of course, the fam
ily Is not expected to donate a book
until men ennuren uro uiruugii
with it. Tho object in getting put-
rono to donate books is to create a

more, it is a different flavor.
Tho way Hills Bros. Coffee is !
roasted is responsible for this de
liciously different goodness. In
stead of being roasted in bulk as
most coffcc3 arc HillH Bros.' rare
blend passes through the roasters,
evenly continuously a Ji'f((c at a
time.
Tho chief factor in tho success
of this process is the perfect control
of the flow of coffee and of the heat.
This insures an even roast such as
tho bulk method can never equal.
Tho ultimate result is a matchless,
uniform flavor in every pound.
In order to keep their delicious
coffee fresh, Hills Bros, pack it in
vacuum. Air, which destroys tho
flavor of coftcc is completely ex
tracted from the can, and kept out
by this process. Ordinary cans,
even if air-tight, do not keep coffee
fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffco
by name and look for the Arab
the trade-mark on tho can. Sold
everywhere by grocers.

addressed tho members and visitors
present emphasizing the importance
of marking historical spots. The pio
neers are rapidly passing away, they
pointed .out and unless Bpots of un
usual significance are marked now
they will be forever lost, historically.
Tho hope was expressed that groups
In each community of the county
would perfect organ teat Ions, which
would have for their sole responsi
bility this task. It was pointed out
also that through concerted effort
now. tho task would not be a bur
densomo one.
The matter of monuments, the
gathering of relics, etc., was also
talked of, with the hope that some
time In the futuro there may be
funds sufficient t6 have a museum
in this locality.
The ladles yesterday deplored tho
fact that some names which havo
groat historical significance havo
been changed. One Instance cited
was "Ora Dell Peak," a name asso

tho Grande Rondo valley, but which
