And the proposed Strhurn line from Sprngue river to I-akrriew, he pointed out. i coarad, should tnd the recommenuaEJoa of Ewminer Kephart lor the construction of a Vnion Pacific hue from Odeli to Lakeview. The Southern Pacific lawyer, if he knew nothing of the facts, made no admission, but it is understood that the Southern rarific is the actual oack of the St r shorn etstern running out of JQamath FaUs.'Ore., which is being constructed under the name of tbe Oregon, California and tasters railway. Pags Three r a single recognized lumberman in Oregon was called to testify in the hearing. And then, as an after thought he added facetiously that there was one lumberman summoned. This lum berman was, in fact, a man who ran n monthly newspaper in Portland and whose business bad nothing to do with lumber. He referred to Kephari's statement that Oregon had been held back by lack of transportation, while Wash ington had forged ahead. He said Washington had not the problems nf Oregoii because Washington did not have to contend with Bueh large areas of national forests and railroad hind grants, lie argued that in the part of Oregon involved iu the present cas? more railroads could be of little ad vantage.

Tbe Kcity mill has the contract for logging the first seven units of ripe timber on govern ment reservations, lie is permitted to cut but 50,000 feet a year and Hi yeirrs will be required to complete the job. Sbonid Colonel Kelly be the suc cessful bidder for tbe other six units, it was pointed out, he would be 15S years old by the time he would be Al lowed to finish the work of disposing of ripe timber from an erea of 160,- 000 acres.

After due deliberation I have decided if I had to take a heavy loss In the deal that I would give the people of this vicinity the benefit of the sacrifice. I have therefore placed Mrs. G. E.

"CONVERT INTO CASH" I realize there is to be a loss and I just as well take it and forget it if such a thing is pos sible. My loss, in this case, will be your gain. I want to take this opportun ity of thanking Mr. Large for his splendid co-operation in as sisting me in converting the stock into cash. Mr. Large has retired for a much needed rest.

At first this struck me ta & stupendous undertaking, I demurred... I frankly told Mr. Prescott that I thought a professional sales manager could handle It to better advantage.

You are a woman and you have lived to this commun ity many years, and yon know what careful shop pers will bay and the prices they will pay better than an outsider.
