A large number of members of the
La Grande local of the Farmers' Edu
cational and Co-operative Union, met
in the K of P. hall this afternoon and
discussed various subjects. Communi
cations from out of town were read
and discussed though the nature of
them is not for publication. Nothing
of any great importance came up.
This js the age of the horseless car

Will Enlarge l'lunt.
R. II. Jonas, editor of the Wallowa
Sun came out this afternoou, en route
to.Portland where he will buy equip
ment to enlarge Ills plant at Wallowa.
Fire last evening totally destroyed
the Prof. Robert Wllkerson home
north of I Grande, two trunks filled
with wearing apparel being the only
goods saved from the building.
During the afternoon Mrs. Wilker
aon had gone to the Anson home near
by, to visit briefly, and It was during
her absence, that somehow, the fire
originated. When Pror. Wllkerson,
who is a member or the high school
faculty, returned from his day's work.
It was to find his home in ashes. The
home was execllently furnished and
though there is a small insurance. It
will not cover the Iosb by any means.
The family had been packing their
clothing preparatory for an' extended
tour dulng vacation time, and these
trunks it was that were saved. A new
piano and several pieces of new furni
ture are Included in the Iohhps.
Their trip has necessarily been
postponed and Mr. Wilkerson is to
day homeless. Friends came to their
rescue with aid and until some suit
able arrangements can be made, they
will make their home with friends.
I ne. house and furnishing would
easily reach $''00O. while tuo Insm-V-ncc
