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.

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
