For the next thirty days only you have got this chance and it will not pay you to lose it. 1 ft r eare La Grande's Leading Jeweler Opposite the United States land Office ASTEI No matter how carefully you may dresson other days of the year Easter Sunday always calls for your best. It's splendid foresight to . make Easter preparation early so as to se cure the best. If you need a new suit, just take a look at our "Clothes of Quality" designed, cut and tailored from the choicest fabrics by expert: the best in the land Clothes or no clothes, you'll surely be wanting an Easter Hat, Ties otherand new toggery. You'll find the choice spring things here all are pleasingly priced. LA il'l)L ROM IN ROS E AD As an earnest awakening of La Grande to her opportunities the float designed for the. Portland rose fes tival is entitled to a high place. The principal feature of the design is an enormous sugar beet (Publicity Man ager Currey says he had a hard time to get the artist to draw a beet in stead of an elongated carrot), which furnishes the base upon which the other parts of the float rest. The leaves of the beet make a graceful canopy. Supporting the crown, or largest part of the beet there will be three very large Grande Rourie apples, with paint on their faces. They will I appear so natural, except in point of j size, and that will not be exaggerated i so very much! lhat It Is doubtful If : Williamette valley people, who, it Is j said, are used to wiping the. moss off an apple before biting it, will allow ; us to keep the float intact until the end of the festival. Out of deference to the city across the mountains which is to act as hostess, roses, also gorgeously colored, will form no In couspiclous feature of the float, and a branch of Cove cherries will appear, as it were, as the finishing touch. BRAMtn DEATH WAS I !: mm i SAYS LETTER Ash rothers The Outfitters 9 All known details, in connection I with the death of Me'vin A. I'.radley jat Kxanston. Wyo.. last week were re- K. Ilappersett of the Trainmen's or der from ollicial of that order at KviiiiHtoii. The death was a horrible one. It seems that Bradley had, been called to go out with a fruit train -and when 10 miles out from ; Kvanstou hail been ordered up ahead to ventilate some cars. That was the last seen of him, alive. He was found at daylight, his head on the inside of the track and his body on the outside. His chest and arms were horribly mangled. A few shreads of clothing was all that held the head and body together. Decapitation had been complete, A coroner's Inquest was held on the 10th and the remains have been ship ped to Pueblo for Interment. The young wife Is almost paralzed with grief.
