' city of ten thousand people we must have more opportunities for the employment of labor, otherwise we would have had 1 0,000 population many years ago Look at the question squarely in the face. La Grande has increased very little in popu lation during the past few years. It is doubtful whether th re are 1,000 more people here tod? y than there were five years ago. Through the possibilities cf irrigation, an abundance of cheap power. the thousands of home seekers that ar e coming to this coast every year, La Grande should double her population dur ing the next five years, but to do so, in creased possibilities to make a living here wiil hive t)be developed. This commjnity now has an opportunity to secure an in dustry that will give steady employment to from 100 to 7500 men. This means a monthly payroll in this city of from $8,000 to $25,000. If we can seem it at all, the cost is trivial in proportion to the barest to be derived. ; l, LOOK This town needs a good business college. This is an exceptional location and a good school would draw not only from this county but also from Wa Iowa county, - The new vinegar factory whicn in all probability will be located in this city, will be able to secure all the fruit it can possibly work, up the first season Reports from every section in the coun ty are promising for a large fruit crop, Twenty-four days until the Fourth of July. It is evident from the present activity displayed that there will be no celebration in this city, but we can all go to Elgin this year. Tney are preparing for a grand time. One weak from next Monday this school district wilt be called upon to elect a school director for a term of five years. This, to this individual com munity is of vast more importance that who was to have been our chief executive for the next four years, prior to the recent election. If we take as much in terest as to who will be our next school director as we did on the govern6hip we will undoubtedly secure the propar kind of a representative. Five years is none to long for a capable director but it is a long period to be filed oyone not qualified. The seeds cf discontent which were sown during the past forty years ara blossoming into value. There has been a bi'ter and persistent fight waged against Union by La Grande during all of these years culminating in the loss of the coun ty seat to Union and the advent of a bitter sectional feeling that will increase in fury as the years go along. The ill feeling will never heal as long as both towns are in one county. Union Scout. By her own folly, it is evident that Union proposes to remain sulky for a number of years yei ui bums, if uui' S teemed contemporary voices the senti mer.t of its constituents. The vote Mr. Holmes received fairly represents the combined strength of the county on coun' if division, not quite one out of six. the Scout caff ; figure any value out of the present situation it certainly is wel 1 I.. s S come to it," A five months political campaign nat urally has a more or less depressing effect upon business. It is now a thing of the past, almost every one has told or has been how it either happened. Noxt month the newly elected officers will take their several positions and the state will press on to ards a greater Oregon, just the same as if there never had been an election. Let us see to it that La G rande and Union county, which offers so many in ducements for capital and population re ceives attention from investors and home seekers in proportion to the advantages which we have to offer. A wide awake community never misses an opportunity to secure a payroll or in other words an opportunity to furnish steady employment. When any city or community makes it possible for a la ge number of people to make a living th ere hat city or community increases in popula tion. People cannot live unless they are employed and they only seek such local ities. If La Grande grows to became a A job lot of PICTL'RES and FRAMES just received and sold at half price for one week.
