The last day of the year of 1908
passed out quietly, characteristic of
the entire year. Tills year has been
one of fear'and apprehension, largel
uperflclnl and not warranted by the
conditions. In the far east we heard
of panics, money depression which In
degree affected us on thin coast, but
after all, as we review the pant 12
months we find that the great north
west has forged ahead with wonderful
rapidity, absorbing thousands upon
thousands of new home builders, the
general effect of which hag made It
self manifest In every nook and corner
of our state. Every business man en
ters upon the new year wtth courage
And hope for even still better financial
conditions. Grande Ronde valley Is
no exception by any means. We are
already assured of our usual grain
crop, our thousands of acres of fall
grain was never more promising.
Many new fruit orchards will come In
to bearing next fall, which will In
crease the annual volume of business.
A cannery will undoubtedly be the re-
lines, The lumber markets are grow
ing better rapidly. Stock will certainly
te no lower than at present, with ever;
Indication that the price will be hlnher.

new year with better prospects than

Obituary.
There died this morning at the' res
idence of Rev. J. D. Oillilnn an old
and trusted resident of La Grande, 8.
Flower. He was quiet and very un
obtrusive, even to reticence; never was
often seen In company, and It Is most
likely possible there are scores of peo
ple In the city who never knew of his
hermit-like and benevolent life. He
lived literally for others. Rom a
slj'um, ne continued tin tne lasi iew
days of his life in nightly expeditions,
rarely falling In his often difficult
quests. None knew how he did It, for
he shunned tho attention, cotnpan
nnd advice of his best friends. His
Inner history and the skill of his mul
titude of triumphs will never be writ
ten. It cna be snld of him "Ho made
the world better." This Is not true of
others. S. Flower was horn In 'Sal:
Lake City, lived a while in Idaho, and
came with Ills life-long friends nni.

Tho funeral was held this morning
and was private, fitting his unostenta
tious life. His real name was Sun
