CURREY BROS.. 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.

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.
