ED'S AND PROP WE LIVE MOT ALONE Whether we ever stop to think about it or not, the fact Is, our success in gather ing the present comforts of life about us and our families, and in making suitable provision for the future depends very largely upon the prosperity of the county and country in which we live. The time s not far past when if Mount Emily had been a solid mass of merchantable wheat, in the then condition of transportation it could not have been moved to market except at a loss of over a dollar per busheL Our farmers now grow large crops at a very considerable expense and sell the wheat at prices that leave a com' pensating margin. This is not because he can grow wheat more cheaply now than he could have found it then grown and sacked, but because of the railroads. county roads and great ocean going shipi so changed conditions that wheat can be moved hundreds of miles on the land and thousands of miles on tha ocoan at rates that leave a fair compensation to the wheat growers of Union county. The wheat growers of Union county have by their own personal efforts con tributsd very littie to this great change in the con Jition of the Grande Ronde valley from what it was less tan twenty-five years ag-.' Had not prosperity prevailed al) o er the United States so that men with capital felt secure in making lar g investments in railroads, and our own people felt safe in expending largely of time, labor and means in making roads, as good investment, this county would have remained as bare of shelter and food as it was in 181 1 when Mr. Hunt, a partner of John Jacob Aster, staggered down Ladds hill and could procure nothing to eat but a travel worn, sore backed horse and lean dog that a Sho Shoony Indian sold him. On these Mr. Hunt and his party made their New Year's dinner ninety-seven years ago. Grande Ronde alley was as fertile then as now but the United States was not nearly so prosper ous and wealthy then as now. Tne gov ernment had no money to give military protection farther west than the Mississ ippi river and the people of the United States did not then have money to invest in permanent improvements in the "wild west" ' Greatly as we value and appreciate our homes in Union county and rich in unde veloped and partially developed resources as we know it to be we are by no means any other line of business could have been forgiven for lack of judgment, but for a real estate firm to do such, shows a lack of common horse sense. Tha Commercial Club is working night and day to make the convention of the Northwestern Fruitgrowers Association a grand success. The club is doing its part, and tha citizens of the town and the county can be depended upon to do their share. It is therefor an assured fact that the convention will be worth attending. We can not afford to do otherwise than make at a success. The people at large must not sat back and leave It all for the club. We must all help. G. E. FOWLER Truck and Transfer Wood and Coal K so independent that wi can fold our arms and say "we are safe and there is noth- ng for us to do but plant and gather crops, we have no concern outside of our own farms and places of business. Hard times have come and again may come knocking at our doors." We want better and more county roads the plans for making these we must look to our state legislature for and the executive officers of the state. We want national legisla ture that will encourage American factories and mines so that the millions of men and women who work in them receive good wages and can therefore purchase our wool, flour, fruit and meats. La Grande should have some institution of higher learning. Some place where our young people can continue their educa tion after they leave the high school' Simply because the Blue Mountain Uni versity failed some twenty years ago, is not sufficient reason to believe that La Grande is forever doomed to be without a school of higher learning. It is simply a question of business. We send enough money out of this county each year to maintain a good school. Think this over and then do something to relieve the situ ation.

A certain real estate firm in this city seems to think that the proper way to build up the interests of this community is to send away for its printing. Only this week this firm received some ten thou sand small folders from a Portland print ing house. This order could have been just as neatly done, and it is safe to say tha( the Portland price sould have been duplicated lass the express charge.
