OREGON. Since it looks like none of President Taft's appointments in Oregon are going to be confirmed candidates for the different offi ces to be filled have become "thicker'en thicker." In some instances it is straining a point to make the old line democrats believe some of these office seek ers are really of the right party stripe to entitle them to consider ation, but then this would not interfere with their duties as officers-if they can "cut the melon." According to notices in the post office in this place the gov ernment is going to let new con tracts on the lines abandoned by Kellog the first of the year. Bids will be received up to March 11, for the Burns-Vale and Burns Canyon lines contractors to be gin April 1st and the contract to be in force until June 30, 1914. The mails are now being carried under temporary arrangement by the bond house and will continue thus until the new government contracts are let. Miss Laura Dawson writes this office that she has received a let ter from Phil Bates to the effect that the proposed excursion trip to Eastern points be taken by young ladies of this state to "boost" Oregon, has been post poned until about the first of June. This was decided upon after learning thut the inaugural ceremonies of President-elect Wiison would merely be formal on March 4th, the usual features being conducted later. Mr. Bates also found that many of the young ladies of the party would be inconvenienced at the earlier date and would prefer making the trip later. Miss Dawson has decided to continue taking sub scriptions for Mr. Bates' paper in the hope that she may be able to make the trip in June.

They were accompanied in by Mrs. Grant Thompson and her son McKinley. Archie states they had a delightful visit and he also found this section well advertised in all parts, therefore looks for an excellent year in the way of new people coming in for homes and investments. He found no thing new in the railroad lin t, except as other people have n -ported on their return home, that under the new management the line now building west from Vale to this valley is in the hands of friends of Oregon who will give home people every advantage in the way of furnishing supplies, etc. They visited Dr. Griffith and found him looking fine and to all appearances entirely re covered from his recent illness. However, he is going to continue his treatment ut the .sanatarium for a time and does not expect to come home until he is eonvir eed of his ability to take care of his practice.
