gain fight over their battles, discuss
their victorias and defeats, and In a
measure, at least, suffer again the
agonies of their wounds and the sor
rows of separation from friend and

earnest desire to da honor to the mon
who fought and bled for the Union.

THE VISITORS
OPEN LAWNS AND REST
ROOMS ARE MANY.
No One Wilt Nerd to Kit In Hot Sun
shine) During the Fourth Rest
Rooms Everywhere Lawns of tlie
City at DbipoNa! of the Visitors.
Visitors In La Grande on the
Fourth who may wish to bring their
lunches from home will be very much
pleased to know that every lawn in
the city has been thrown open to
them and that they are welcome to
spread 'their lunches there and be
generally comfortable. Toung peo
ple who are longing for some shady
nook In which to utter soft nothings
will find them without seeking, and
tired mothers may take the little ones
Booze has flowed freely and at lit
tle cost today. Tonight It will flow
even more freely. This, the last day
of the saloons In Union county, will
mark a now epoch In sales of Intoxi
cating liquors If the records were
kept.
High grade liquors and wines have
been disposed of today at the buy
ers' prices.- Mmt any sum of money
will take away the best liquors the
saloons afford, and the proprietors
foel they are getting off easy at that.
The Julius Roesch brewery has had
larger shipments of late than usual
as buyers from without the county
saw an opportunity to stock up a
little expense. In the city Itself, many
who "Indulge" ocaslonally, but are
not habitual drinkers, saw the oppor
tunity of stocking the wine larders
at wholesale prices and did so accord
ingly. First-class wines are reported
to have been sold at prices that would
make a saloon keeper sneer In deri
sion under ordinary circumstances.
Go Out at Twelve.
When the clock strikes twelve to
night, and the local option law is
obeyed, which It will be without
doubt, the proprietors wilt turn the
lock In their doors for the last time
and forever we hope. It Is only
natural to suppose the sales will be
brisk up until that time. In any
event, whether or not the laws are
enforced to the minute, the new
dawn will see a new city of La
Grande. .
