Ueiveretty Librar, T he VOL. XI CEMETERY TO BE FENCED At the last meeting of the Civic club, following the report of a special committee, it was almost unanimously voted to fence the cemetery. At this time only the five acres surveyed and platted will be fenced. A great deal of work ana considerable expense was put in the surveying and platting and • fence would save destruction of the markers. Loose stock and careless drivers have already knocked down a number. The cost of the fencing material will be approximately $100 and to raise this money the membership pledg'd to earn and give 81 each by the April meeting. The money must be on hand before the work is started as the ladies thought they would be sure of meet ing the expense. As fast as members have their contributions they are re quested to hand it to the committee consisting of Mrs. Waterman, Mrs SwEyze and Mrs. Haneline. After the material is secured and on the ground the ladies hope to organize a party of men interested in civic matters to go up and do the work. Enough can be secured to do the work io less than a day and the ladies will serve lunch at noon. TEN YEARS AGO A Traveling Freight Agent Oliver paid hia first visit to Hermiston Fri- day.
