How to Set Up a Christmas Tree. As generally set up the Christ mas tree is a rather shaky affair, top-heavy, and in constant danger of being tipped over when it is touched. If yuu want a 6ubtantial base for it, but one that will allow of its being moved easily without any danger of its being upset, go to some hardware store and borrow a set of stove trucks. Cover them with boards fastened securely to their frames, in the center make a hole larga enough to admit the base of your tree. Fasten strips of wood from each corner of the trucks to the tree, in such a manner as to brace it firmly in place. The cast ers under the frame will, allow you to move the tree easily and safely.

The East Oregonian and tho AtfiENA Press are the representa tive newspapers of Umatilla coun ty is evidenced by the broad view the business men ol the county talk of them as advertising medi ums, both in ' point of circulation and character of news matter these papers print. To accommodate its increasing advertising patronage, the Daily East Oregonian has en larged to an 8-page quarto. The Press on Monday of this, wrek ow ng to the influx of copy for new ads, found its four pages inadequate to the demands made for space, and the management has enlarged to six pages. While this may only be temporal, wo feel eomewhat flattered, and do not hesitate to say that space paid for in either paper will bring quick and satisfactory returns.
