Downing of Wild Rose Home Farm.) Troy, April 2. We are having now the real Garden of Eden weather, being cool enough to be bracing, yet warm enough to go without wraps, and Just right for field plowing, seed ing and garden making. Everyone is as busy as a bee, taking advan tage of this de ightful time. The naw owners of the old Lewis place on the Grande Ronde river, at the foot of Powwatka mountain, have the place already In cap-a-pie order, neatly planted to vegetables and prob-, ably melons. The whole place has an air of order an! neatness which iwould do credit to a suburban tract kept by experts in that line. The new county road running up from the Grande Ronde river Is Just southeast of the Lewis place and switches back and forth up Powwat ka mountain at a 10 per cent grade in full view of most of the Eden ites, which would look like an easy trip to Wallowa city or Enterprise, if the trail from James Downing's farm down to the river to the ford (which is only a short distance from this new county road) was made a little more passable, which ought not to be such a task, as two-thirds of the trail now Is not bad. A few large boulders at the ford might have to ue blasted out, or some kind of a bridge put across; but if the Eden men would all work together it would not take such a long time to connect with the Powwatka moun tain road, and thereby obtain an eas ier and better market for their pro duce than heretofore obtainable.

A prominent wo lp rower, who ln .10 stock in the warehouse, said the other day he would pay to store his wool In the concrets building In pref erence to a wooden one for nothing and then come out ahead, as the ab sence of shrinkage in the concrete house would more than pay for the jtorage, let aUna the lower insur ance rates.
