At this place the town ha just com pleted it new hall with nn opera house underneath. TIh town also lv i school .building three 'lories h ;; and bill nine grmU'f. Where tl. people come from who support th .-ioi'8 ami patronize the school is :t mystery, as you can travel iiiii.'s ami not fee a fawn house Several churches r also located here. Kev. .1. M.

Strange as it may seem tin. town of Lexington has no railroa.l agent, although the company every year chips over one hutulreil cars fj freight, this being lull car, not counting the freight that is brought in for the stores and other pur poses. Wood is now $ S per cord coal about $10 per ton, and on this line not a single waiting room at the depot had a tire. Hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of land, has changed hands near here during the past two months. Land is valued here all the way from ifS to $20 per acre. lone is located some IS miles down the line from Ileppner. This is a somewhat larger place than Lexington, there being between three and live hundred people. The town has one hotel and a num ber of restaurants, two drug stores, a number of general Mures, and tl e tive saloons there seem to be doing a thriving business. Wenotictd only one church. The school building is a very nice structure and there is an enrollment of ISO children. At the present time there are at least twenty new 'resi dences in the course of construc tion or completed. Also a number of store buildings are going upon Main street. There is a very good bank here and the banker has built here the nicest home in Morrow county. The price of land may be judged somewhat when we tell you that $ 1.50 per foot was offered fur one of the lots along Main street. Frank Lewis, a former resident of Independence, has been here working in a meat market for the past two months. Miss Virginia Beaton, proprietor of the lone Post, also a former resident of our town, is doing very nicely with her newspaper at this ,,). 1 OH inhitiiirti'l". l,'r""1 . ..I ..i Miiitit Mrti!C pOll'l OIIH' i-i - Mion of m.'.lnl; S",1,m l.v lines make their Mail tT l"e .. tenor.

The townsite pv!" practif illy own the town of Slmniko. They have put up a good wter system, tt brick lintel at a cost of 1S,IHH and also own the bank Ix reand land for further orders. Ware houses some NX feet long fcre lo cated along the railroa.l nt tHs one place and last year handled some (i,tHK.VtHK) pounds of wool. It is generally conceded that as soon nf i he railroad i pushed on to the in terior this place will receive quite a severe blow as the randier will not team along the railroad t reach any one particular town The Shaniko Leader lt-re is run by Sid Pereival, a former Monmouth and Independence boy, who reports living well pleus;d with his loca tion. Incoming back down the line to our first (.tailing place. Higgn we onlv travel some twenty miles until the conditions are entirely changed and we strike a farming district strictly. Arriving at Cra-s j Valley we find a little town nt'sonn' o"0 or -100 people. There are a j number of fair stores. 2uite nj THE GREAT Fahilyhzdicime niukir.inlV UI.uk -Drniik'lit ha nved lUUuV lull for morn limn lixty ynr.

We are more than glad to chronicle the fcuccess of Miss Dea ton, as 6he is fully deserving of all the success that may come her way, and this little town is very fortu nate in having such an enterpris ing and faithful young lady at the head ot its newspaper. One of the big draw bucks lo pleasant living in this country is the alkili water. Biggs, on the O. R. & X., is a little s-tation w'herc you mate the start on the Columbia Southern Railway for Shaniko and way points. When you Jeave Jsigg the train winds around up a little val Jey or gorge for in a number of places there is only room for the track. Every foot of the seventy mileB between Biggs and Shaniko is up hill. At Shaniko you find a little trading point. The country tributary to this place is entirely devoted to stock raising. Shaniko j A I'roiin.seil Measure. Special from Iiuena Vista. A subject that has been much discuss-ed in Buena Vista the past ten days is a petition that has been in circulation and which has been numerously signed, looking to the cloning up of certain public streets in Buena, and thr nun-owing of others. As is usual with all measures of public interest, the one under dis- jenssion has its enemies as well as its supporters. Just what objection there is to the plan is rather ob scure One prominent citizen is of j the opinion that the measure, if carried, will entail avast amount! of trouble and litigation; those in e.-i tend with, can be prevented ley the use of rimiiilierliiln's t'nili:li 1 t-uic.ly. l'lielimiiniii tilwujm re-lills from n ; p,,,,,,,!

In closing these and in keeping stock out of the streets no harm could possibly result, while there would undoubtedly be a movement in augurated thereby tending to the building of sidewalks and fences that would eventually add much to the general appearance of the vil lage.
