It is : astonishing the. rapid
strides the dairy industry is
making in this county. This is
a splendid indication. There is
not a prosperous dairy section
in the United States that is not
prosperous in other lines Look
this up if you are in doubt.
A prominent business man of
this city who has had consider
able experience is emphatic in
his belief that a mattress factory
could 1 be easily secured and
would give Steady' employment
to several people every month
in the year

are simply waiting" for . the La
Grande Commercial Club to
take the initiative ' in 'securing
an exhibit ; for the Lowis and
Clark fair. The fair openB
June 1st and it is hightime "that
steps be taken immediately -1
Remember we are very soon
goiag to have power for manu
facturing purposes in this city
and the next thing is 1 to secure
industries that will utilize this
power. As an illustration the
La Qrande Iron Works yester
day: placed an order for a fifteen
horse power dynamo This is a
starter.
There is not a woolen Jmill in
the state that is not making
money and all market their pro
duct in the east.'' Why' not' La
Grande have a woolen mill The
mills at'Union, Pendleton, Ore
gon City, Albany and Eugene,
are all rushed with orders There
is no reason why such an insti
tution should not 'pay here 'the
same as the other places.

La Grande has reached the
point where it is intitled to free
delivery, and according to the
statement of a government post
al inspector the only reason or
condition which will in any way
prevent the establishment of the
free postal delivery throughout
the city next June is the fact
that the houses of the city are
not numbered. This is a mat
ter "which should be attended
to by the city authorties. there
is an ordinance now standing
on the city ordiance book which
provides for the numbering of
all the houses in the city There
is a map hanging on the walls
of the city hall which was made
exoresalv, for the purpose of
r -
giving to each lot in the entire
city its proper number, ine
nit has cone to the expense of
--- o
labeling all the etreets, and a
number of the houses now have
numbers over their v doors, but
,Vo f.nn4 Tviainwit" a Till-"
o t
numbered. It is the duty of
the citv officials to see that
" - . 1
every house in the city is num
bered It is a fact that the gov
ernment will not issue the order
for free delivery until the 'city
can assure the inspector that
a carrier could find a given ad
dress without asking every other
citizen, he might happen to
meet where the addressed person
resides. This is a matter ' of
importance and should receive
prompt attention.

Several parties who have in
vestigated the matter are of the
opinion that a paper mill could
be profitable operated here.
8uoh an instttutioc would fur
nish labor for a number of peo
ple and there would be no limit
to tbe market for tho output.
Now the conditions are right
here for the successful operation
of a paper factory steps should
be taken to secure it
