Fate seems to have no mercy on
the poor. We have no sooner recov
ered from digging up for school book3
when the rnln requires a round of
rubbers. This Itooseveltlan Idea of
Inrge families reads all right in mag
azine editions of the Sunday papers,
but poor "Dad", at certain periods of
the year Is entitled to sohne. considera
tion also.

The present rain will do very little
damage to the grain yet unthreshed.
It Is practically all In the stack. At
least, it Is stated, that two-thirds of
the crop Is threshed.

When the Oregon Agricultural ce
lege opens and attracts Union county1
attendance, practically all of the stu
dents from this city and county will
have taken their departure. For the
pust two weeks students have been
leaving for the leading educational ln
gtltutlons of the Pacific northwest
all searching for a higher education.
Few counties In the state st-nd niirv
students yearly to prominent Institu
tions than I'nlon county. The State
university, tho various Normal schools,
O. A. C, Whitman, Pendleton acad
emy, St. l'avl's school nt Walla Walla
and other private schools. Seattle and
many other cities claim students from
1m Grande and surrounding country

Mrs. Wobxtor Improving ItnpUlly
FlOlll hlilH'U Ewolng.
Dr. IS. Molltor, th., attending phy
slclan, reports that Mrs. V. A. Webs
ter Is Improving favorably today from
tho effects of the shock sustained last
evening when he was hit bv ll-ht-nlng.
Iurlhg the storm last evening,
she was struck while at her country
home, nit far from Island City, and
for a brief perld sh r-'inalui'd un
conscious. When medical aid was
railed she commented to recover and
with the exception of a few burns that
still pnln her, she Is feeling none the
worse for tho shock today. She was
out of doors when the bolt hit her.
and her many friends are congrntu
lntlng her today that they still have
her In their midst.
A coal famine is about to break out
in this city, due to the strike of coal
miners in Montana and other western
coal mine districts. Local dealers
have sufficient coal on hand to fill
present orders and when the supply
is exhausted, they will throw up their
hands, and cry: "All In!" This coal
mining trouble has been running for
several weeks even months and the
effects of it are now being felt In this
city. Unless, something Is done at
the scene of trouble soon, La Grande
will bo without coal. '
O. R. & N. Supplied.
Fortunately, the O. R. & N. has suf
ficient coal bn its storajjo bin here to
last for sumo time, and a famine of
long duration Will . not affect the
transportation company much. With
the hills covered with wood, a coal
famine can work no real hardship In
this city It will only necessitate a lit
tle co-operation from the mountain
eers and wood dealers.
