Stanfield, Ore., May 22. Bids for
the construction of the new school

here Saturday, there being five bids,
as follows: Ralph R. Wheaton.

complete their work in time for the
building to be occupied at the open-
chards on the alfalfa lands west of
here, where fruit has not been raised
for commercial purposes, giving his
opinion that pears and apples espe
cially can be profitably raised on
those lands.
The Stanfield Commercial club has
just received a communication from
F. W. Robinson, G. F. A., of the O.
W. R. & N. company, advising the
club that arrangements have been
made for the installing of a telephone
in the depot here, which will be good
news to our citizens. Several months
ago the telephone was removed from
the depot because of some misunder
standing between the telephone com
pany and the officials of the railroad
company. It has been found very
Inconvenient by those having business
with the depot to be obliged to get
along without the telephone service.

bell recently visited the home or

west of Stanfield and reports that he
saw there some of the largest pear
trees that he has seen in the north- ,
west. Mr. Campbell says he was sur- j
prised to find such immense healthy
fruit trees in this section of the coun- ;
try, nt heretofore known as a fruit j
district for the reason that few of the '
orchards were extensive enough for
growing more than sufficient for home
consumption, and furthermore these
old trees w-re nearly all of them
found clean and free from disease, !
notwithstanding the fact that they ;
had been neglected, many of them ;
neither having been sprayed nor,
pruned for years. He recommends i
