Mr. and Mrs. R. Proudfit and Mr.
and Mr. A. W. Lundcll motored
to Walla Wall Sunday for the day.
Weston chapter of the Eastern
Star has received an invitation to
attend a noting of the Pendleton
chapter May, 28.
After an extended visit with her
mother. Mra. Susan Tucker, Mrs.
J. O. Wood left Saturday for her
home at North Yakima.
J. H. Clodius has leased his resi
dence property on the Heights to
C. E. Allen and family, former
Weston people who arc moving
back from Milton..
Miss Loia rorter has the measles,
and until she recovers will be una
ble to eome home from her school
near Heilx. through fear of com
municating this plebian ailment to
her little sisters.
P. J. O'Brien, representing the
Inland Truck & Tractor Co. of Wal
la Walla, was In town again this
week. He is using some ir
the Yuba tractors in the Weston
Leader thus indicating that he
knows a good advertising medium.
Bud Nelson landed ' "the old
man," J. A. Nelson, this week for a
handsome Chalmers touring car.
We fancy that if "Jim" isn't pretty
well suited, he will demonstrate
to the boy's satisfaction that he
hasn't forgotten how to wield the
rawhide.
Reversing the usual custom,
James Kirkpatrick, one of Weston's
well known civil war veterans, pre
fers to spend the summers in Cal
ifornia and the winters in Weston.
He left Wednesday for Sawtelle,
Calif., where he will remain sev
eral months.
While fall grain is yet thriving
in the Weston country, spring sown
grain shows the need of rain. The
kind offices of J. Pluvius arc not
so badly needed here as in the light
land districts, yet would be very
welcome. The soil is said to be un
usually dry at this season.
Captain Rice, Dr. R. E. Farm
worth and Geo. C. Baer of Pendle
ton were Weston visitors Saturday.
They called at the Leader office to
see how a modern newspaper is
conducted, and "Doc" did his best
to explain why Pendleton lost out
in the shooting tournament.
The Weston Concert Band played
' for the "Dokie" ceremonial at Ath
ena Tuesday evening, and for the
auction and festivities at Pendleton
Wednesday evening which netted
nearly $7000 for the Umatilla
County Red Cross. The band do-
. nated its services for the latter
event.
The Fanners Bank of Weston has
received its' new Burroughs book
keeping machine, which is electric
ally onerated and is such a mechan
ical marvel that it must be seen to
be understood and appreciated.
We have seen it and so may you;
but we advise you to keep away
from the cash drawer, as we were
watched.
Louis J. Simpson, North Bend's
captain of industry, "live wire"
and candidate for governor, had an
opportunity Tuesday of seeing about
the best little town in the state.
Likewise, he called at the Leader
office, and we arc free to say that
he looks more like a good democrat
than a poor republican. (There
ain't no good republicans.)
F. G. Lucas and Shorty James
returned Monday from a motor ear
trip to the Brown and Douglas
ranches in Morrow county, and say
that they found the former Wes
tonitcs very nicely hicated indeed
on land that promises to be. increas
ingly valuable. Grain in the sec
tion they occupy is looking well,
and the need of moisture is not
yet seriously felt.
Albert Allyn was here Monday
from his upland farm on his way
to Pendleton, and said he is not
discouraged over the potato and
bean situation, having found these
both to be profitable crops last year.
Mr. Allyn will plant more than
twelve acres to beans and spuds this
spring, and the Leader for one
hopes that his confidence in these
honest and praiseworthy vegetables
will be justified.
jim Jones and Herman Henderson
went hunting for bear Saturday
and Sunday, but for once these
mighty nimrods failed to bring
back any meat. They did not see
a aingle sign of bear, but had a
fine view of a band of eight deer
which came out in . the open and
nermitted themselves to be stared
it by the hunters. Mr. Jones says
