Prior to 1897, what is known as the old town contained only a post office and store and a few houses. Within the past three years the town proper has been built. The population of lone in 1900 according to the census figures, was 223, but since that time the population has increased about 50 per cent. The increase in popula tion is due to the rapid development and settlement of the country tributary to lone. Up to the time of the building of the railroad in 1888, the northern portion of the county had very few settlers. The few people who took up claims and tried farming were forced to abandon their places and leave on account of the extreme isolation. There were little or no transportation facilities, and consequently there were only a few people and they were engaged in stock raising. Within the last five or six years, the fertile country surrounding lone has been settled up by people who are now making nice farms and homes, and who are prospering by growing wheal. The soil surrounding lone is a rich sandy loam, well adapted to the growing of cereals, and when in the good Lodge installations involve local women Installation of Magnolia Lo dge No. 34 of the Degree of Honor Protective Association was held at the Vert Memorial Building, Pendleton, Jan. 20. Members of Kate J. Young Lodge No. 29 who attended from Heppner were Mrs. Dean Connor, Mrs. Ruth Berg strom, Mrs. Ed Gonty, Mrs. Ida Farra, Mrs. Lincoln Nash and Mrs. Earl Soward.

On Jan. 27, Pendleton wo men came here for the instal lation of new officers of Kate J. Young Lodge No. 29 of the Degree of Honor Protective Association. Taking part in the ceremony were Rita Rose, past state officer; Hazel Case, secretary-treasurer of Mag state of cultivation is very productive. Like other por tions of the county, the soil has a wonderful faculty of retain ing moisture. Last year, grain that never had a drop of rain from the latter part of March, yielded as high as 25 bushels to the acre. To the southward from lone is the principal grain belt of Morrow county. There is a gradual slope back to the mountains, and the farmers have a down hill pull to haul in their wheat. Wheat is hauled by wagon and team for 25 miles to lone. Six horse teams with two wagons, with 150 bushels at a load, are on the road from early in the morning until late at night taking two days to make the trip. There is still a large body of government land that can be taken by homestead in this portion of the county. The land along the railroad and near the town is all taken, but back from three to 15 miles there are thousands of acres of good agricultural land yet to be taken. The lone country formerly had the reputation of being too dry for anything, but now wells are being dug and water is being found at a depth of from 10 to 40 feet. During the past year owing to the great amount of summer fallowed land, the grain crop was short, how ever, lone warehouses receiv ed 240.000 bushels of wheat. About 95 per cent of this grain has been sold by the farmers. lone has a good weekly newspaper the lone Post, Misi Virginia Deaton, editress. The town has good public school.

Gene Starks used the com plete novel and the Reader's Digest condensation (Vol. 1. 1975) as the basis for her review. This 14hapter book centers about a fictional, small town near the South Platte River in Colorado (the 38th state which is celebrating Its centennial this year.) A learned man from Georgia with a rich background in American his tory is sent to write this story, which is dedicated to "three distinguished Colorado news paper men." He begins with the geologi cal formation of the land, its mountains, rivers and plains and describes it before it is ready to receive animal life. The prehistoric life evolves to familiar animals and to man. Lame Beaver, an Arapaho, is the first of many interesting human characters. White tra ders, fur trappers and adven turers precede the first set tlers, who journey west and learn of the vast area as they struggle. VALUE HUfJTClS. APPLES (red & golden red rome) 4 to. m 870 ...

The birth and growth of the small town and the stories of the various families from diverse cultural backgrounds that become part of the town provide excite ment. The great struggle for water and the efforts of the dryland farmers are detailed. Michener involved a tre mendous amount of research in the creation of this novel which he began In 1936 and completed almost 40 years later. He acknowledges his indebtedness to specialists in geology, paleontology, ancient history, flint knapping, Indian life, American history, cattle trails, ranch life, sugar beets, birds, Mexican Chicano pro blems, dryland farming, cat tle industry, guns, railroads, irrigation and others. "Centennial" Is Michener's 19th book, and professional reviewers state: "Again he fascinates, engrosses, and educates," "this book is a must.
