Do you realize the spirit of progress
that prevails over this entire county?
Think over the successful events that
Lave been pulled oft in d liferent sec
tions of the county during the present
3 ear and everyone a winner. Elgin
sad a horse show and a farmer's pic
nic, Union a celebration and horse
show and La Urande had a horBe show
.end a big celebration. Everything that
La Grande has attempted has been ay
s' proved by the patronizing public, and
Imbler, yesterday demonstrated how
4o handle a thousand or more pioneers.
The idea we wish to bring out is, the
(ftople of the county are working in
such harmony that they rejoice In an
opportunity to mingle and are glad
to assist in bringing about a success
ful demonstration of its merits. As a
- result. Union county can do things on
a much larger scale than formerly.
p&$
At, each pioneer meeting the ques
tion is discussed as to the advisabil
ity of extending the period of the
ligibillty of the time limit. Under the
present rule, only those coining to
'"Uajon county prior to 1878 are termed
pioneers. This year was 'fixed as the
period when the last Indian war oc
curred within the borders of Union
county. Some are of the opinion that
this date should be extended to take
In all of the residents who came here
prior to the advent of the railroad.
This was thoroughly discused at the
meeting held at Imbler and by a close
. tote it was decided to make no im
mediate change. The idea was alo
presented that la all probability will
result in an organization of the sons
-und daughters of the pioneers at the
next annual meeting which Is to be
held tn La Grande next June.
Take a drive throygh the Grande
Ronde valley If yon are subject to

pass does not cure you before you

any point you may select, your case Is
hopeless.
