Garity & Company has been dis solved. All parties knowing themselves indebted to the above named firm will please call at their office and settle before January 1st, 1906, as all accounts must be settled by that time. J. A. Garity, Bin Shown ' AN AMUSina ARTICLE i Some weeks ago the Portland Journal obtained a picture of one of the 194 class of locomotives running out of La Grande and published an article that four of these locomotives would soon be placed on the run on the mountain division. This article was published by the lesser papers of the Inland Empire with but one or two exceptions. A careful investigation proves that these famous engines have been on the run for the pas. six or seven months and are not new to the citizens of La Grande. To make it more interesting a Pendleton dispatch to the Journal tells the same old story over about these engines. Following is the last article., . "Pendletpn, Or Deo. 20-Four balanc ed compound locomotives which were or dered by the Harrimajo -system some time agonave been assigned to the mountain division of the O. R. A N. at Meacham and at,,Telbcaset "The locomotives represent the highest achievements in modern mechanics tor power and speed. On a level grade they attain a speed of 85 miles an hour, and it is stated that they will decrease the time that has formerly been consumed on the steep grades of this division. The mair. specification of the new me chanical monsters follows: Weight on drivers, 138,000 pounds; weight of en gine, 226.000 pounds; , total weight of engine and loaded tender, 396 000 pounds: capacity of tender, 12 tons coal and 9,000 gallons of water." ATTEND TMC FRUIT GROWERS MEtTlMO At La Grande January 3 to 5 inclus ive I cannot impress upon the minds of the Fruitgrowers too deeply the importance of attending every session of Northwest Fruitgrowers Association. As ' every phase of the Fruitgrowers will be pre sented and discussed from both practical and scientific stand points from the plant ing of the seed to the development of the bearing tree ctring for and marketing the fruit. We are greatly in need of organization and until effort in preparing and market ing our products. These meetings are designed for this especial purpose, sotake off three days, and attend these meetings and learn - how others .have done then go ar.d do likewise. ' I feel if we can only accomplish this one thing our meeting will have been grand success. Come to- the meeting. CD. Huffman, becy.
