HERMISTON, BOARDMAN NEWS onn L. Jenkins is putting in a bridge for the county over the waste, way where the red and green trail crosses it. It will probably be much appreciated by tourists, as hereto-, fore there has been no bridge and autos were obliged to ford the stream. Mr. Beckdal of Heppner is erect- I ing a substantial house on bis newly | acquired land. He is getting along nicely in spite of the cold weather. I Belle and Howard Packard, mem- | bers of the pig club, have just com pleted a successful season with their pigs, seven fine brood sows being sold to local farmers. Homer Mitchell seems to have all the hoar as the local nimrod. He killed with his rifle, the largest co yote old timers have seen in this country. He has the pelt at home nicely cured. The prevailing cold weather is bringing great joy to the Boardman youngsters, and they are polishing up their skates with the anticipa tion of the coming sport.
