CELtBRATED ' Yesterday, wherever there Is a, Mor mon settlement or community, there was also some sort of a picnic or cele bration. The members of the church residing In the vicinity of La Grande met early In the morning In the Car bine grove, near tho Jroebstel bridgu, and spent the day In honor of the first arrival of the Mormons In Utah, July H, 1847. F. S. Bramwell was the principal speaker of the day,'1 There were present two persons who were with the first wagon train that pulled Into the Bait Lake valley; .Mrs. Mary Black and W. V. O. Carbine. Both made short addresses. Races of all kinds were Indulged In by big, little, oiu aim . jrw'us). ""JIZ ' iZzZ't was won by Mr. Glenn. The ladles' race was won by Mrs, Cunllff. . At noon every one helped himself to the delicacies and substantiate of a great basket dinner, which was a basket din ner only because it waa supposed to be carried to the plcnlo grounds In bas kets. In the evening all who were so Inclined, participated tn the dance held at the old meeting bouse by the tabernacle. 1 At Imbler. . Out at Imbler the crowd was larger than here, there being five or six hun dred people in attendance. The pro gram of the day waa much the same; perhaps more elaborate. The big din ner waa served In the same way, and the evening dance held in the Bon Ton hall at Imbler, attracted a great number. In addition to all kinds of foot races, suited to all 1 classes and conditions of avoirdupois, the Imbler picnickers witnessed somo exciting horse races and held a pulling contest, In which It men, hanging onto the end of a 50-foot rope, were dragged along by one horse, belonging to Don Blanchard. There were also gome automobile races, and the ball game In the afternoon between the "Bach elors" and the "Benedicts." was won by the young unmarried fellows, 2-8. Two games of ball were played by the picnic crowd. The local ground had been secured from Mr. Lincoln, and everybody who cared to go was taken to the games from the grove. First, two teams of young men played, the regular L. D. S. organization win ning from the scrubs by a score of 8 to 1. The real contest was between the married men and the unmarried, Immediately after the first game. Waldo Geddes, who had already pitch ed nine Innings, now had to pitch 10 more.

Mr. Huffman, the orchardlst. says that he believes the pear blight which so seriously threatened our orchards a few weeks ago, Is being kept out of tho commercial orchards almost en tirely, and that If the people who live In town, or who have but a 'small or chard, will be as particular a the owners of large, orchards, next spring there will be no blight. Down in the Rogue River valley, which Is the "ban ner pear country of Oregon, they have destroyed the blight' by careful spraying before the sap rises In the spring and by ruthless cutting off of the affected parts. . After the rising of the sap the only possible preventive of blight Is to cut the branch affected off several Inches below the diseased part. The branch cut off "must be burned."- If left lying oh the ground, the bacteria causing th blight will spread. through the air, and the mischief goes on. feiven u not leu m proximity to the orchard, birds will carry the disease. The only way Is to burn. . , , ' : The Marvel of the Biscuit.
