Water value lesson as land bids rise at Hermiston office
Citizens offered bids on government land near Adams avenue while a water lesson drew attention to 60 dollars per acre prices.

Freight traffic from Wallowa county reflects rapid regional growth and transport impact. A speaker contest and a book agent jab at Joe Cannon close the note.
