FOR PRICE LIST AND INFORMATION, CALL ON J. A. TROEH, 900 YEON BLDO., PORTLAND, OR. Dispose of Mountain Ranch. Mr. and Mrs. Biacy itODerts were down from Hardman on Monday clos ing up a deal whereby Mrs. Roberts has disposed of her Toll Rock ranch to Fred Ashbatigh, of Rood Canyon. We did not learn the consideration. Mr. Ashbaugh has thus secured one ol the best timbered tracts in Mor row county, and we are informed that it Is his intention to erect a mill oh the place at once and begin saw ing lumber. This mill will be put np and operated by Mr. Frank Ward, according to present arrangements, and it is stated that less than one tree to the acre is all that will be necessary to pay for the purchase price of the tract of land. In the selling of this place, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts are left without property in this county save a house and lot that they own in Hardman, and this they expect to dispose of soon. Number of "Stuck" Mail Pouches Is . Continually Growing. Yil Walla Feels the Effect. (Walla Walla Union) Orders have been recently issued by the postoffice department which will result in another delay for trans continental mall addressed to points on the Pacific coast. In the present instance this mail will be delayed Ave hours and forty minutes and will Include all special delivery letters. The order is directed against the Chicago and Omaha R. P. O., an im portant transcontinental mail 'link. The mail on this train in the future is to be worked in the Union termin al R. P. O., in Chicago instead of be ing worked on the train and Is sched uled to be dispatched in pouches be tween five and six hours after it is dumpted into the terminal referred to. The only reason given for this or der is that it is being done for the purpose of running the mail service on a business-like basis. "Stuck" mall, that .is that mail that railway clerks have been unable to work in trans! t because of con gestion or an insufficient number of clerks seems to have been the rule rather than the exception on all mail going out of Spokane for the 40 davs from December 8th through January 17th. This mall was directed to Harve, Seattle, Lewiston, Miles City, Portland and intermediate points. Under the present policy for "economy" in the postoffice depart ment, all idea of efficiency has been lost sight of. Mail clerks on all branch lines are being dropped foom day to day. Fortunately, Heppner has been one of the last to be affect ed through this stringent economv crusuade, but even at that, the hun dreds of patrons on the route here are not giving up what belongs to them, without first making a vigor ous protest. Postmaster RIchardsan points out that people living in Heppner, who now get their mail within a few min utes after its arrival in the evening would not, in the event of the mail clerk's removal, get a portion of their mail until the next day. Fur ther down the line, some of it would be from twelve to twenty hours late. 18 BE E Hibernians To Celebrate St. Pat rick's Day. . Following their usual custom, the Ancient Order of Hibernians will cel ebrate this year the feast of their patron, St. Patrick. On Friday, March 16, there will be a lecture giv en by Father Edward Power of Port land. In conjunction with the lec ture, there will be a concert, in which local talent, as well as outside talent will participate. This concert will commence at 7:30 p. m. On Saturday, March 17, the Hiber nians will proceed in a body to St. Patrick's church to assist at the 10:30 a. m. Mass. In the afternoon, at 1:30, the initiation of candidates will take place. About 7 p. m. a banquet will be served, after which there will be an evening of music, song and story.of the Old Land. ED MEEK. Ed Meek, age 56 years, died in this city Saturday following an operation the preceding Thursday at the Hepp ner Sanatorium. He has been a suf ferer for 28 years from what was lat er found to be cancer of the stomach. The deceased was a brother of Mrs. W. P. Scrivner and had made his home here during the past three years. He had made his home in Condon the greater part of his life and the body was taken there for burial. Mrs. John Putman of Fossil Is also a sister and his mother, who has made her home in Heppner during recent months also survives. A bro ther came down from Idaho to attend the funeral. Pastor McDonald WiU Remain. By unanimous vote of the congre gation of the Christian church on Sunday morning last, Turner B. Mc Donald was retained as pastor of the church for another year. Under the leadership of Mr. McDonald the past 1 year, the church has prospered to a marked degree. The membership has been largely Increased, all In debetedness against the Church has been wiped out and a general im provement along all lines of religious work was noted.

Farmers generally are interested in the formation of such an associa tion to apply for loans under this new act. According to O. C. Step hens of Hardman, who is the prime moving force in getting the work of organization under way. There are now 15 farmers who will join the as soclation and many more will Join. The first preliminary work of or ganizing will be undertaken at the Hardman meeting on March 6th. It Is expected that farmers from all parts of the county will attend, as there Is nothing barring any farmer in the county from becoming a mem ber of the loan association so long as they abide by the laws of the act Increases Land Holdings W. H. Padberg, of Clarks Canyon, this week further increased his land holdings in this county by the pur chase of the Spencer Akers farm on Heppner Flat. The deal was closed up on Monday and was for a cash consideration of $25 per acre. In the selling of his place, Mr. Akers has retired from, farming for the pre sent at least, though he may decide to invest in other lands In the coun ty. Mr. Padberg, by the purchase of the Akers land, has Increased the value of his real estate to a great de gree as it is one of the best little farms In the county and has always been a good producer. Mr. Padberg Is fast becoming one of the largest land owners in Morrow county and now stands far In the lead as the big gest grain producer. Hard ware Is all the name implies and nothing more.
