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.

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.
