THIS EVEHIKG weighty matters to come cp tonight. The Commercial club of this city Is taking an active Interest In Irriga tion, as will be noted by an article from the club In this Issue. . If all 'who recognise the advantages that would result to our valley and cities ; through Irrigation, would . appoint themselves a committee of one to as- ' cist In creating public favor towards euch an undertaking It would be only very short time until our large wheat holdings would be subdivided, and many new homes would be the re- .-. smlt Irrigation la not an experiment : In the northwest, ' See what is being i) Accomplished in our adjoining county, .. Umatilla. Note what Idaho Is doing jj with her great Irrigation projects. Cities the size of La Grande have i sprung up like magic within the past J, seven years. The only magic about It f was the transforming of tho desert Into an alfalfa and fruit-growing scc s tlon. We do not require but. very llt- tie water, but that very little means that our very best lands today would ' double and treble In value, Let us aid I the Commercial club in every way in i this mutter. ' . . . .. - j Since the Commercial club is be-1 i ginning to show considerable red blood 'i and Is going out after ' things, this ' body might become Interested lit e 5 curing R county hlh school. No ono who will glvo thin matter careful con s' stderallon, In our opinion, can oppose k' the Idea. Union county needs a bot r ter school thnn It Is possible for any .j on district ''to maintain. On the .'Other hand, we do hot believe it is pos sible to secure In this valley a college, but It Is possible to secure a county high school, which will permit the 50 or mora students that aro now away from their homes In other schools that tiarh no higher grades than a first-class county hltih school would. Think this over, friends. It must first be submitted to a vote of the taxpay ers of the county, und It could be vot ed on nt the coming November elec tion. : . Ono day last Week Hood River New Water Supply, Paved Streets and Amendment to Pound Ordinance Are Only 8ome of Hie Important Questions fop ' Tonight's Council Meeting All Those In Shape to Bo Acted on In Some Form o Other. .,' - At the council meeting tonight sev eral matters of as much Importance to the city as anything could well be, will be brought before the city officials and discussed by that body. There is the matter of a new and sufficient water supply; the paving of the streets ssqkj. V V MtkhtVtMsi . akHuvtM relating to our. municipal welfare. When the discussion of a water sup ply I brought up, It will be compli cated somewhat by the introduction of the petition lately circulated asking the council to take steps to ascertain If artesian water In quantity can be obtained. There Is some difference of opinion aa to the proper location of a trial well, but many seem to favor a site on city property. Others think It ought to be located on the hill, nearer the reservoir. i , As to paving the streets, ' nearly everybody admits that auch a work ought to be commenced, and It Is probable that the committee appoint ed some time ago to report on the matter will have some Interesting facts to communicate to the oouncll. One matter that will come before the council tonight will be a proposed amendment to the stock ordinance. As It now stands the ordinance allows stock to be staked or guarded on the' streets and alleys, and this clause Is a source of much Vexation to the poundmamcr, and the source of nearly every bit of trouble that occurs In his department. $55.00 Qmnrm,:Qx uzsk, . -.noiMiv . 6.50 ' EtOUEHb .

It has been several ear since La Grande baa made an ttempt to celebrate on an extensive rale. In Just few days a number of Re details will be sufficiently ma- ird to be made public. In the man me arrange An Incident occurred In this city yextordny which cannot' help but prove discouraging to the public-spirited cltl sen. It was the unloading and distrib ution of oOOO pounds of groceries to fanners and others of the valley, who profi rred to buy their neccssnry gro eerie from a trump peddler, who loured the valley not long since, rather than buy from th local dealer who help piy I'nlon county's tnxc. There was pmetlcnlly a cm loud of he stuff, and farmers cnine to the cur or waro hnuse upon notification to get their "cheap" ware. tlllb talking Con vinced the farmer th.it he was grttlnr thins cheap and In better quality than could po-mlMy be hud In La tirande. ' To all appearance the far mors went away highly pleased. What the general status of opinion will be when the packages are opened and the hourewlfe attempt to cook with the things her husband purchased from afnr Is hard to tell. Five thousand pounds of groceries l quite sn Hem, and distributed even ly among . th grocery men of La Crande would mean considerable to all. This undesirable occurrence takes place In the best of countries, but It la to b lamented that they should tske place In Vnlon county place where home patronage, aa a rule, runs uppermost In the minds of every cltl' sen. i Mrs. J.
