CONLEY IN

Industries, and Sometimes There

of Mormons Mr. Conley
Was a Freighter Dining the '80s.
The romance of the soli is too strong
for A. B. Conley, the pioneer wheat
king of Grand Ronde valley.
Four years ago he sold 8000 acres
of excellent wheat land In the best
wheat belt of the valley and at that
time determined to retire from active
farming.
After an absence of a few month
from his farms which were the most
complete and well equipped in the
state, he began to wish he had not
sold, and finally he bought back a
portion of the 8000 acres and once
more entered Into the Infatuation of
wheat growing.
But all the time he has been trying
to buy back the entire tract which he
formerly owned, and yesterday at La
Grande the last 700 acres of magnifi
cent tract was bought back by Mr.
Conley, who once more becomes the
wheat king of Grand Ronde valley
and owner of the most complete
farming Industry in eastern Oregon.
On this large farm is an entire vil
lage, comprising a store, blacksmith
shop, harness shop, machine shop,
wagon maker, horse shoer, school

house, all a part of the Conley farm.
At times 100 men are employed on
the farm and several hundred teams
of horses are kept constantly in serv
ice. At times in the harvest season
It Is possible to see 10 threshers and
as many headers at work on the Con
ley farm and long lines of wheat wag
ons are employed for weeks hauling
the crops to the Conley warehouses.
The land was first purchased by Mr.
Conley from early settlers who believ
ed that Grand Ronde valley was not
suited to wheat raising and from an
obscure freighter back In the '80s Mr.
Conley has grown by dint of industry
and good management to be the lead
ing wheat grower in eastern Oregon.
The Conley tract was sold about
four years ago to a number of Mor
mons who converted the farm Into a
Mormon colony. The purchase of 700
acres from these people yesterday re
moves the last Mormon family from
the Conley lands, and the former
owner comes once more Into posses
sion. He declares-that he will never
ell a foot of the tract again.

SOCIETY
Lent, with Its beautiful and Impres
sive symbolism now rules the social
and religious world. According to
the ritual and ancient custom of the
church, all public amusements, mar
riago feasts, ploys, birthday festivals,
religious festivals or other forms of
celebration or amusement are pro
hibited, Sundays excepted, and alms
giving and frequent ceremonials of
worship are encouraged.
The exact period of 40 days Len
ten observances was fixed at the end
of the eighth century. Before that
time the number of days of fasting
had been 8(i, but in order to make
the period correctly correspond to the
period of fasting of the -Nazarene,
four days were added. Including Wed
nesday, Thursday, Friday and Satur
day preceding Quadragesima, the
first Sunday In Lent. By this ar
rangement, the 40 days period was
strictly adhered to, Sundays excluded.
The Lenten period ends at midnight
on Easter Sunday.
For 1200 years the church has ob
served Lent In practically the same
manner as It Is observed by he Epis
copal and Catholic churches
throughout the world today.
One of the most delightful and bril
liant affairs of the season was the re
ception and dancing party given at
Music hall on Tuesday evening, when
Mrs. Eugene Vaughan, Mrs. Ernest
Sklles, Mrs. Charles Epplnger and
Mrs. Thomas Ayers entertained their
mnny friends.
Without disparagement to former
parties, given at that place. Music
hall never looked prettier in its gain
attire than it did on that evening. So
cozy and homelike was its appearance
when one stepped into the hall. It
seemed more like walking Into a large
drawing room. Divans, Indian robes
and fancy pillows, together with the
pink hooded candle lights placed on
stands at various places about the
hall, were only a smalt part of the
decorations used. An unusually at
tractive feature which called forth
many words of praise were the cano

Mrs. John Halley, jr., entertained
the members of the Thursday After

The program on Goethe's "Faust,"
was admirably arranged by the hos
tess and brought out the best parts In
the great masterpiece.
Mrs. Bert Huffman read a splendid
paper on "Johann Wolfgang von
Goethe," giving many important in
cidents in the life of that apostle of
self-culture. In a paper by Mrs. Jas.
A. Fee, a number of "Faust" legendB
gleaned from German Maerchen,
were given and a critical review of the
remarkable literary production,
Goethe's "Faust."
A delightful reading by Mrs. Coles
worthy to show certain tendencies in
Goethe's nature, was beautifully Il
lustrated with recitations by Mrs, A.
J. Owen.
The souvenir programs were dain
ty creations. On the upper 'cover
was a picture of Goethe and on the
back was a small reproduction of

words, "The ever womanly draws us
on." Each contained a quotation for
roll call from Goethe's philosophical
writings and the following program:

The rending from the dungeon
scene was Intensely Interesting and
dramatic. The Impassioned meeting
of the remorseful Faust and the depth
of Marguerite's agony was well por
trayed. During this scene Miss Hal
