At 'one time the News ! was going into five foreign f countries and into 20 states. Many of these copies were being sent to missionaries. The following letter received li from Wendell P. Hall, is typicS of those written by the mission- be aries, and carries an extra "kick" of interest to the people of this E section. - Washington County News ; ' Dear Sirs: I am writing to inform you that ' my address has been changed from Lakeview to Burns, Oregon And also want to tell you how 1 much I appreciate your sending the paper to me. . I enjoy keeping in touch with happenings in the county and your paper is certainly the best source. I have spent the past year and a half doing missionary work in the state of Oregon, and have gotten, to see practically all of it It is a nice country generally, but has one fault in its climate! 1 That is that rain falls almost steadily for six months out of i the year, then they don't have a drop for the other six. I am at T present laboring in a town of about 3,000, supported almost entirely en-tirely by a saw mill which is one of the largest in the country. Some of your readers who remember Albert Petty, of Hurricane, Hurri-cane, might be interested in knowing know-ing that one of his chairs has I traveled clear to Oregon during the past twenty years. His famous guarantee on each chair was that if it didn't last a hundred years C to just bring it down to h- -1 and he would fix it. This particular chair, belonging to P. A. Leatham, now has its third set of rockers but otherwise is in no need of Mr. Petty's services. I am enjoying my work as a missionary and wish more of the M young people there could have fT this opportunity to leam more 1 about their church and their country. Sincerely yours, Wendell P.
