RAILROAD TO IMPROVE
LOCAL DEPOT GROUNDS
That the O. W. R & N. Co. does
not intend to stop with improving the
| local depot grounds by spreading
cinders thereon is evidenced by the
visit recently of H. L. Lyons of La
Grande, division engineer, who, on
his arrival immediately held a confer
enee with Section Foreman Bryant ia
regard to putting a layer of gravel over
the Cinders, and generally improving
the appearance of the grounds by the
addition of a lawn and fixing up a
place for a garden for next year. Be
sides these, it was intimated by Mr.
Lyons that other improvements are
being contemplated by the company.

when it is taken into consideration
that less than a third of the land witbin
its confines is in cultivation.
Nevertheless the soil is here, and

Monday on business that the little

quite a fruit shipping center. Many
orchards in the vicinity of Irrigon are

Mr. Doble expects to take about

furthermore he will take the road and
sell the entire output direct, having
already practically closed a deal with
$ 50 Heppner people for one carload.
