The Blue Mountain University left
Its sump of mortality and good citi
zenship more vividly than those who
have come- to this city , since Us
suspension can appreciate. It does 1
sot seem within the realm of our
present day progression to conceive
that as a matter of fact, as far fas
school facilities are concerned, La
Grande has retrograded, for since the
JBlue Mountain University ceatsed to
exiBt we have never had anything
beyond the public school in the way
of higher education and the parents
of the pro-sent' generation have op
portunities that their children can
not receive without going elsewhere.
Jt Is too bad for the benefiit of this
itv. that the school could not be
maintained, but the population was
too sparse at the time It was begun,
which was .10 years prior to the ad
vent of the railroad, and the financial
burden was too great to X4 continued
by the patriotic few.
On Saturday night in this city the
former students and friends ' of i'nt
old Blue Mountain hld their third
Reunion. , To the residents of re
cent years this meant' little, but to
the older settlers who are familiar
with the.causes that led to the erec
tion of this once proepoerous institu
tion, that drew students not only from
our present and adjoining counties
but from Idaho and eaBtern Wash
ington, it is Important.
During the 10 or more years of its
existence, scores of young men and
women passed through its doors and
many of them are today carrying the
responsibilities of every avenue of
activity.
The corner stone was laid with fit
lng ceremony on the Fourth of July,
1874. J. L. Carter, under whose ad
ministration the school prospered, was
the first president. J. L. Lensure
was another and Professor Ackerman
and Abraham Fades and O. M. Irwin
are names that revive tender memories

In the divorce case of Flora Stoop

clerk of the court $50 for plaintiff's

until otherwise ordered by the court.

gained judgment by default for $252.65
and attorney's fees to the amount
of $33. It is further ordered that
the property of Charles Todd be so!d
at execution to satisfy the judgment.
Mrs. Stella Taylor was given an
absolute divorce from Porter R. Tay
lor and awarded the custody of a
minor child.
By mandate of the supreme court
the judgment of the lower court was
reversed in the case of S. S- Boothe vs
Farmers and Traders National bank,
and the findings of the referee were
confirmd. Judgment is thereby given
the bank for $228.59 and interest, to
gether with the costs and disburse
ments occasioned by the appeal to the
supreme court. .

Is spent m bed What did you pay for the mattress?
In bed we laugh, in bed we cry;
And born in bed, in bed we die;
The near approach a. bid may show
Of human bliss or hun an woe.
' Do you recognize the importance of the mattress?
Do you select it with the same care you do the other
comforts of home? Have you ever stopped to consider
that in this age of advancement it has recieved little
attention little improvement was made until the re
nowned Sealy Mattress was invented? This marked
the entry of a new era in mattress making.
The Sealy Mattress is different! Features that
stand out in bold contrast: First successful and only
Non-Tuffed Mattress; First mattress made along
tcientific lines, Constructed of one single bat of long
staple cotton, Without Tuft or Binding. See this won
derful mattress now on exhibition at our store. The
success of ihe century. Let us explain its merits.
