Last season they sowed a ton of al

planted alone made the belter
growth, but the entire planting did
very well. Mr. Gcrking is an ex
tensive laud owner in Umatilla

offered $93 nu acre for a 2.0-ncre
tract but refit ud to sell. He, like

nine inches from tip to tip, and the

bought the hides of a large black
bear and two cubs. These he took
to Portland and had made into rugs
for the "den" he is fixing up in his
quarters there. Much of his time
is spent traveling through Califor
nia, Washington and Oregon, and
he ficquciilly picks up some curio
or hide which he takes to his
"den." He had cleaned and pol
ished four or five of the cougar's
teeth, which measured ubout three
inches hi length.

Wednesday II. L. Gibbs, J. N.
Hunter and W. J. Ward of San
Francisco returned from a week's
trip in the timtwr south of Hend.
At Odell, alout 60 miles from here
and considerably higher in the
mountains, the mercury one night
registered 24 blow. Mr, Gibbs re
ports that that is pretty cold in a
log cabin with nothing but two lit
tle camp stoves for heating pur
poses. Mr. and Mrs. F. O. Minor enter
tained a few of their friends at din
ner Wednesday evening, The
event was in harmony with the
holiday season, nnd the favors at
each plate were most unique. They
consisted of a tiny Christmas tree
rooted in a large red apple. Icing
was sprinkled on the tree to repre
sent snow; nuts and candies were
hanging on the boui'hs, and a tiny
candle twinkled in the top of each.
It was a very pleasant social gath
ering. The Christmas exercises at the
Haptist church Saturday evening
were a dccidcl success. The church
was filled with n large crowd of lit
tle tots and their elders, and every
one enjoyed the excellent program
that was given. Hags of candy to
the number of 160 were distributed
among the children, besides a good
ly amount of pop-corn balls and
apples. The committee iu charge
succeeded iu collecting a fund of
36, which easily defrayed all ex
penses. The contributions by Hcud
citizens to this fund were most lib
eral. Oldest Mnn In the State.
John H. Hlair ofLakeviewpassca
through Hend Wednesday on his
way to visit his father, C. P. Hlair,
of Pendleton. John H., the sou, is
61 years old iu March next and his
father will be 101 on New Year's
Mr. Hlair says the old gentleman is
hale and hearty, goes up and down
stairs regularly 10 and from his bed
room, and is a wouderlully pre
served man for one of his cdvanced
age. The .son says his father is now
the oldest man iu the state.
It seemed strange that a man 61
years old, with hair white as snow
and features showing the marks ol
age, should be going to visit a fath
er who was still vigorous and en
joying good health. The grandson
of the old gentleman is living in
Montana and it is hoped that -he
nud his child will be present at Pen
dleton on New Years, when there
would be four generations repre
sented iu the gathering father,

Team Hroke Away anil I. eft Two
Hend Men In the Woods.
Two of Mend's citi.eus had a long
and tiresome walk last Saturday.
John Sleidl and Charles Rowe were
out in 20-13 looking at a timber
claim. When hitching up for the
homeward trip, just as the horses
were crossing the pole, thviy lccnme
frightened at something unknown
and dashed away like a couple of
wild deer. Neither Steidl nor Rowe
saw the slight thing to frighten the
animals, but it is supposed they got
the scent of some wild animal.
After circling about a mile through
the timber the horses came back to
the road and followed it about
three miles to the ice caves when
they bore ofT through the woods iu
a northerly direction. The men
here left the trail and en me on to
Hend, walking as far as the John
Ferguson home, which is about
six miles southeast of town. Here
they received a most cordial recep
tion, were given a fine supper and
lent the use of a horse and buggy
with which to drive to town. Count
ing the trip over the claim they had
walked alxmt to. miles through
three inches of snow, and the light
iu the Ferguson home was n wel
come sight to the two tired men.
Karly Sunday morning Albert
Seales and Rene West started out
to track the horscA through the
snow. After a long, hard ride
they louud the team near Powell
Duties, nnd got back to town late
that night. The harnesses were
somewhat damaged, but not so
badly as might he expected lines
broken, one back pad gone, and n
few rings, buckles, etc. put out of
use.
The report is heard every few
days that the surveyors now in
Hend are actually doing cress-section
work. This is flatly denied by
the engineers. The crew is locat
ing V. S. section comers and run
ning section lines in order to locate
on plats the line they are survey
ing. This is the only work they
are doing that has the word section
appeating in its description.
