It la also true that, while sorne por

the hops so thin in places that the gen

while one grower will report that hU

NEW TELEPHONE UNE
BURNS. Sept. 9. The business men
of Burns have organixx-d a company to
build a teleohone line from Burns to
Prim-vi He. and thence to Ontario. The
ctock is all owned by the business men
of Burns and PrinevUle. The company
expects to have the new line in. working
order this fall, and it will be a great
help to people living' along ' the line.
As It is 150 miles to the county seat of
Crook county, the people have consider
able trouble In the winter' time to get
to town to transact business. With a
telephone line connecting the two towns
settlers along the line will" be greatly
benefited. The new line will save tele
phoning to Portland by way of Baker
City, and will be the means of bringing
the people of this section of Oregon
closer to the Northwest metropolis.
