About nine yeaiB ago, through the
v Instrumentality jf the La Crande Com
, '., merclal club, and by a shoulder-to-"'
, shoulder stand on the part . of the
- "buslm-8 men of this rlty, there was
-put Into commission in this city a
, business an Industry which today Is
,.,. issuing payroll checks to the extent
of a little more than 112.000 everv
.V, month. That Is the average expend!- i"
' ture, during the fall months It runs
. up to more than $1000 every .day.
Reference Is made to the Amalgamat
ed Sugar-factory.
With this statement as a premise,
. the phraseology of the , equation Is
' readily selected; that a proper effort
toward the upbuilding of a city Is to
put Into operation anything that has
a smokestack or the color of a fac
tory. The solution of the equation may
not be as easily thought out or as
easily calculated, but there Is a solu
tion nevertheless, which, on the sur
face of it In the heart of It, and In
fact, all through It, Is logical and
plausible the La Grande Commercial
club. This Is not foreign to the man
agers of the body known as the La
Grande Commercial club. There are
men lii It who think seriously of this
matter as they go about their dally
tasks. There are members who hon
estly believe that the $6000. approxl
mately, which the business men have
, ..agreed to expend on boosting projects
yearly, would bring greater results if
, It were spent consistently In building
; Smokestacks. The city with thrift.
'With enterprise, with wealthy families
In It, la the one where black volumes
of smoke belch . out from towering
mokestacks .from early morning un
til late at night.
' This does not mean that the entire
, sum is to be necessarily thrown at
one Industry; let It be equally distrib
uted among two or three Industries
. that are self-expansive and, once
. given a foothold here, will soon ram
to be the source of lucrative salaries
for many men. Plant a fruit dryer
here, a sash and door factory there.
vinegar factory the other place, a
wholesale establishment to meet the
demands of Wallowa county mer
chants and forestall trips to Portland
by attracting them to La Grande
all these things lot them be planted
even on a mediocre scale now. anil
they will expand spontaneously. .Pub
licity Is excellent, but smokestacks are
better. . . . .
i . r ' .
A REAL BUMPER CHOP.
' While disastrous frost may yet oc
cur and mar prospects. It can never
theless be truthfully said this spring
thut the outlook for a remarkable
crop In the 'Grande Ronde valley was
nover brighter. It may be tod early
to "crow" but It seems on the face of
exl.Htlnif conditions and climatic Indi
cations that thcreiwlll, be no failure.
Should frosts hold off "as they, have
dqne heretofore,, when orchards were
turning black in other . sections,' the
cherry, applet prune, pear am peach
crops In this valley , will be -etmply
enormous. ...

UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATION
The lost session of the Oregon legis
lature passed a bill appropriating
$125,000 annually "for the support
and maintenance of the University of
Oregon; to keep the biftUllngs, grounds
and all other property thereof, In re
pair; for the purchase of additional
lands for the campus thereof; for the
construction of buildings and addi
tions to the same; and for the pur
chase of library books, laboratory sup
plies and apparatus."
A referendum was invoked on the
bill, so It will not become a law un
til it Is approved by a majority of the
voters at the regular election on June i
1, 11)08. The Alumni issue this state-
ment to the voters of Oregon, believ
ing that after careful consideration
of trie facts they will vote "yes" on
the ballot and convert the bill into a
law.
The University of Oregon now re
ceives the smallest appropriation of
any state unlversl:y in the union, al
though eight states have less popula
tion, and nine have less wealth.

Elgin, May if. (Special.) Speak
ing In the open air, Hon. H. M. Cake
last evening addressed a large con
course of Elgin people on the Issues
in the coming senatorial election.
A band concert preceded the speak
ing. It Is hard to estimate the num
ber of people present, but even Cake
himself was surprised at the large
number who stood bravely during the
cold weather to hear what the candi
date had to say of himself aid the
paramount Issues of the day.-
The Cnke party left here about 10
o clock today for Cove, where the first
address of the day will be given.
