We never see or hear anything about a Chautau qua association but what wa are Im pressed with the fact that La Grande la letting a golden opportunity pass by In not securing one.

Again, many will let the other fellow attend, and ask them how the proposition sounds. Others cannot conceive how It Is possible for a big proposition like this to be consummated without some promoter making a few dollars out of It. Every business mnn should come out this evening and become acquaint ed with the details as far as at pres ent worked out. It may require a whole lot of work to secure the 20,000 acreage. Again, It may not. One lund owner near this city knows that he will contract for 600 acres, and Is thinking seriously of making It 1000. The whole thing Is simple, If the peo ple will become sufficiently Interested to Invciitlgate the proposition. Come out this evening so you can be pre pared to know what to say when you re asked questions, relative to the biggest project ever attempted In the Grnndo Ronde valley. ATTACKS 1ITII AMENDMENT.

U. & N. on the coal bins, where JO.OOO tons of coal are being stored, were summarily dismissed last evening. The reason for the action is that the Greek are too quarrelsome and too mean 'or practical purposes. The foremen hav had much trouble with the gang of JO or so who are unloading the coal, and came to the conclusion that more could be done without them. The dismissal came all In a heap, and th; entire gang is now hanging around the yards awaiting an opportunity to get Japanese will replace them. The contractors find the latter class of la borers less likely to -Indulge In quar rels either with the foremen or be tween themselves. , KIDDIES bf EM 11 Kiddle Bros, and associates have added another flouring mill to their possession by the purchase of the El gin 80-barrel mill. The company now owns mills at Union, La Grande, Im- bier and Elgin, and will within the next few weeks commence the con struction of a large mill i.: l':.ind City to replace the Plone-r mill which vr.i recently destroyed by fire. The purchase price of the Elgin property is reported to be 20, 000. With five mills distributed In the b'est wheat-growing sections of the county, and being thorough mill and business men, they have the foundation for a large and Increasing annual business. It Is understood that J. F. Bafer of Union, will have charge of the Elgin mill Just as soon as he gets the Im 11 '-r mill In running shape. Yesterday this company purchased the entire wheat crop of A. B. Conley, as much of the grain is yet In the field and little threshed, the amount of bushels Is yet unknown, but the sule was made. It requires a lot of wheat to keep five flouring mills going 10 months In the year, running day and night. It will thus be seen that this firm, of necessity, will be the largest wheat buying concern In tho Grande Ronde valley.

Then the officers take a hand and the alley creepers re ceive notification to leave town. Io max to Ijocate In Portland.
