Athena A Good Town Prospering Says Chamberlain
C G Chamberlain, justice of the peace in Athena, tells the East Oregonian of visible prosperity in Athens. Crushed rock streets lessen mud, new buildings rise, two large churches thrive, a new lodge nears dedication, and a stronger water system seems within reach. He notes orderly growth, strong schools, and homeseekers drawn to the Northwest town. An unrelated vignette describes wood carver Kauffman, carving in jest a bow-wowed woman figure and other toys from wood, saying he prefers simple tools for pastime.

Reduction in daily trout catch proposed by Oregon fisherman
H W Sart of Bingham Springs, a prominent Eastern Oregon angler, urged reducing the daily trout limit from 125 to 75. He argues current 25 fish under five inches must be returned, wasting effort as many throwbacks die, and that a smaller harvest would encourage anglers to pursue larger trout. He predicts more fishermen may travel for bigger catches. L O Sheek, a Portland contractor, plans to relocate with his family. The obituary for Hoy Salisbury noted, with funeral held at Mra Lampkin's residence and interment at Olney cemetery, pallbearers listed.
