which Senator Bruce Dennis is owner
and publisher.

ing counties. Three sections are de
voted to information about La
Grande, one to Union county, one to
Baker and Willowa countiesg, one to
the Old Oregon Trail and Highways

Bruce Dennis is one of Oregon's
most successful newspaper publish

GOOD SYSTEM FOR HARD TIMES
The Rhea creek country is look
ing fine this summer and many im
provements are being made along the
creek. R. E. Alstott, who bought
the Gay ranch a year ago, has al
ready reclaimed several acres of for
merly unproductive land and contin
ces planning further improvements
as fast as he can get the work done.
Cold weather and late frosts have
hindered the gardens and damaged
the fruit crops to somo extent but
wheat and alfalfa promise big crops.
Mr. Alstott has adopted the plan of
cutting expenses to the bone through
the hard times and, is making it win.
He has finished plowing 40 oacres at
a total cash outlay of $30 besides
thje work of his own teams and his
two sons and has arranged with his
neighbors, Dan Barlow and Dell Al
stott, to work together in harvest so
that none of them will have to pay
out cash for labor. "It's the only sys
tem," Mr. Alstott says, "by which a
man can get by thee days."
EUGENE IS IN TURMOIL
Eugene now appears to be one of
the thoroughly Ku Kluxed cities o'
Oregon. The resignation of the
mayor, city attorney and Catholic
chief of police leaves the city admin
istration completely In the control of
the Gifford secessionists unless a
reconciliation has been accomplish
ed recently. We don't know whether
gun-toting is as prevalent in Eugene
as it is in Medford; but we do know
that of all the towns in the state
that ought to be ashamed of itself
for permitting intolerance to gain
such dominating ascendency, Eugene
is that town by virtue of us previous
lack of evidence denoting any ten
dency towards municipal hysteria.
