: : : : V x : V UNION COUNTY I sports We do not believe that there is another county in the Inland Empire that can show fourteen different industries whose total annual revenue produces an average of 193,oco.oo cash. The annual report of the State labor Commissioner, places Union Count third in the tlete. in ir e (rrf Icment of labor It requires 194 solid trains of four tv cars each to carr the produce of our count to the market, more than a train ever other da throughout the ear. "An admirable climate." The past winter only for a few hours did the mercury reach zero. No excessive heat in the summer and our cool refreshing nights cannot be appreciated by the residents of the east until they are permitted to enjoy them. Our soil is rich and productive. Were we to mention yields they would not be believed. The only way to become acquainted with this "Garden of Eden" is to personl visit this land of diversity, as when you see the crops growing and harvested they speak for themselves. - Our forrests will require man many decades of the present activity before th3y begin to yield and we no w have thirty or more saw mills which give emploment tha year round in the mills ar,d logging camps The only sugar beet factory in the state is located at La Grande, the County Seat of Union County with a population of 5.000. progressive wide awake people who extend the glad hand to all. This is tie commercial, educational and social center of the county. La Grande is known as the railroad town of the 0. R. &. N. Co. whose annual payroll at this place txceeas $300,000.00. From here the branch road is now pushing through the northern part of this coun'y. on into the Wallowa County, starts a freight division, machine shops, round houses, and one of t.-e i'g.st ra.lroad yarcs on t ie system, and tram d.sDatchers office. The public schools of La Grande are wj'id to none in c't.ts of ti;s size in this state. We now have three buildings ana a fourth, an e.gnr room brick bunding in course of construction, giving imployment to twenty-two teachers The pr.r.cinl olfice ot the Gear.Je Rjnde Electric Co. is located in this city, This Company furnishes power anj ; g.n for the c.ty ot La (ironde.
