Young Becomes a Benedict.
Our genial friend 0. C. Young,
one of the pencil pushers of the
Descutes Valley Tribune, has tak
en upon himself a rather solemn
and binding obligation endeav
oring thereby to slip one over
on the readers of that notable
sheet; however we do not pro
pose to allow such a thing as his
going and getting hitched up
and not letting any of his
riends and readers know of the
details. The drawing card was
in the way of Miss Ruth Johnson
of Culver as the bride. The
ceremony was performed Thurs-
day, August loth, we are torn
by his partner that the control
of tho paper last week was
dominated by Mr. Youncr
so that it was impossible to
get in even a little squib men
tioning the marraige of the
happy couple, however if the
bridegroom still persists this
week, we hope that the bunch
will have already given them a
warm reception on their return
from Opal Springs. Good luck
with plenty of it is the wish of
their many friends.

Swinging, playing games, fish

the amusements of the day.
Shortly after noon the baskets
were opened and dinner spread
in the grove.
Mr. iiougnteiing, living near
the grove made himself immor

by appearing unexpectedly on
the scene with a couple of dozen
big, juicy, Oregon watermelons.

Chapman Pleased With Trip
That the demonstration farms

prove of inestimable benefit to
the farmers- in Central Oregon
is the conviction of C. C. Chap-j
man, publicity manager of the
Portland Commercial Club, who
for six months has been the main
stay of the Pioneer's news sup
ply. In both capacities he proved
that he knew the game, and
made for himself a large circle
of friends who regret that Wal
lace had more to offer him than
Madras. Doubtless the pines and
the lead-sweet water and the
shut in hills of the Coeur d'A
lenes will cause him to long
more than once for the wheat
and sage brush and the wide
reaches of the rolling plains of
Crook,. and someday he will back
track to the land of his plains
