JOSEPH PALMER, President

The county division question
is hardly worth discussing, and
as a matter of fact about the
only persons who are seemingly
very much given to its discus
sion are a few who feel that they
stand in line to receive the of
fices which would of necessity
be created by the creation of a
new county. It is natural that
these persons are anxious to
have the new count v creajted.
The size or wealth of the new
county is of no particular im
portance to them. It is the of
Goes that seem important to
them. Thev are williu to an-
preciate small favors at the hand
of the people when large ones
are no longer to be had. It is
not county division they desire
so much as a division of the
county funds.
roads entering this city are in
such a condition that it will be
a real pleasure for those who
live in the valley to come to La
Grande at all times . This is
a matter which should receive
Ulub. We realize that this is
not the time of year to work the
roads, but it is the time to make
preperations for the road build
ing season. It is a matter of
vital importance to the business
men of this city and suoh being
the case the Commercial Club
is the proper organization to
take the matter up and see that
during the proper season some
thing is done. This road ques
tion does not begin in the cen
ter of the valley. It begins at
our very doors. It is a fact that
about as bad a piece of road to
be found in the valley is that
little stretch between the Oro
Dell bridge and the third street
crossing. If any one doubts
this assertion let him ask some
of our Starkey or Hilgard
friends where the worst piece of
road between Starkey and -the
post-office can be found and the
answer will be, between Oro
Dell and the railroad crossing.

La Grande has reason to con
gratulate herself npon securing
the next annual convention of
the Northwestern Fruit Growers
Association . It is true it is a
year ahead, hut this is to our
advantage. We will be able to
get together and arrange an ex
hibit which will be a credit to
La Grande and Union County.
We will be in a position to de
monstrate to the delegates then
assembled that Union county is
one of the best counties in the
state. The Hon. 0 D Huflman
Union county's sole representa
tive at the convention is entitled
to praise and coiuendation for
having by bis energy and abil
ity succeeded in securing for
La Grande this convention.
There were other towns and
cities represented, at this meet
ing who were anxious to have
the convention, but Mr Huff
man though single-handed and
alone was able to combat all op
position and win the victory.
H ill im
Every citizen of this city is
directly interested in the matter
of good roads entering this city.
La Grande is very largely de
pendent npon the valley trade,
and the greater ease with which
our farmer friends can reach
this city tho greater the oppor
tunity we will have of securing
their trade. It is a fact tbat a
farmer is not going to pull his
team to death to come to La
Qrande when he can drive to
some other point with compara
tive ease. It is also true that
the greater the ease with which
a farmer can reach this city the
mnra nftnii haia likal t.
"in my opinion Chamberlain's
Uoagh 'iemedy is tuo Mt made for
colds," says Mrs. Oora Walker of
Porterville, California. There ia no
doubt about its being the beat. Mo
other will core a oold ao quickly. No
other ia so sure a preventative of pneu
moota. No other U ao pleasant and
ate to take. fuera are good reasons
why it should be preferred to any
other. The fact ia tbat few people are
satisfied with, any other after having
once used this remedy. For sale by
