A few days ago The Observed "put It up" to Commission Brown to Inform Its readers where the , city got it name. The following communication tells it Island City, Aug. 1. (To the Edi tor.) Tou ask me to answer how La Grande received Its name. , I will do the best I can. It Is nearly 41 years ago. I cannot refer to the diary you ape o. v.T.;rr. : "" inrounn me winter of '61 and '63, as I quit In the spring of '62, for I had too much other business. I kept a hotel, store. saloon, butcher shop, livery and feed stable, sold oats at 15 cents a pound, sheaf oats at 60 cents a sheaf; meal were 1 1 each and beds, or rather rooms, 60 cents. Patrons had to fur nish their own blankets when crowd ed, as our patronage varied from one to 60 dally. The way La Grande re ceived its name was by calling a mass meeting for the purpose of naming the town. It had been called by the name of Brownsville, Brownstown, etc. Af ter the meeting was called to order, I was elected chairman, being the first time 1 had ever held a similar position. Tou can Judge how near we came to following parliamentary rules.- Sev eral names were suggested, a man by the name of Dorse some kind of a Frenchman suggesting the name of La Grande. After some discussion, a vote was taken, "La Grande" receiv ing the highest number of votes. That Is how the city received Its name I remember Mr. Dorse gave us quite a talk on the subject, why it Bhould be named La Grande," thBt the word La Orando meant something beautiful. 1 ran find no one that was at this ma meeting; they have alt left or passed to the unknown realms.
