ing west. The Trains go through
Hermiston at 5:25 a. m. going east
and 11:50 p. m. going west, giving
the people on the project a night
train to Portland. This train is com
posed of chair cars and sleepers. No.

not stop in Hermiston any more, al
though it goes through here about
2:00 a. m. No. 24 taking the place
of No. 6 for east bound passengers.
The morning local to Portland
goes through Hermiston at 10:26 a
m. and east the same time as usual.

The motor goes to Pendleton at
9:00 a. m. instead of 10:30 as in the
past, and returns the same time as

For the second year in succession,
George Strohm has taken the first
prize on the best car load of fat hogs
and has put Hermiston on the map
again before the entire Pacific North-
west.
Hermiston’s live stock industry has
been in the front at every show where
her stock has appeared this season,
and Mr. Strohm’s last prize is the
grand climax to a wonderful year and
record for our stock.
There is not a spot under the sun
better fitted for the raising of live
stock than the Umatilla project, and
that fact has been brought home to
us here and advertised all over the
country this year through the won
derful showing of our stock. We
have plenty of hay, plenty of sun
shine. and plenty of good water, and
ideal weather, what more can be de
sired for the raising of live stock?

Strohm wired us that his hogt sold
