r
'otlee el Annual Fair.
The management of the First Eas
tern Oregon District Agricultural
society, wishes to announce that the
county fair will be held this year at
H Grande, beginning October 4th,
and lasting one week.
The new catalogue will be out now
ta short time, the cause of the de
ity so far has been due to the effort
to get the Wallowa county people
to join us and combine the two fairs.
Tbe new catalogue will be practic
ally the same as the old one, but with
this exception, many of the premiums
have been raised and new features
added, and also a large special list
of premiums will be offered by the
business men of La Grande,
Get your exhibits ready .for the
largeat fair that Union county has
ever had.

There are several kinds
of drilling but the kind
the kind tnat makes the
farm pay is the drilling
which makes water avail
able. There is no need
of a dry farm. The task
is not so , great as you
may think. I have had
years of experience and
understand the well busi
ness thoroughly.

The largest crowd of people that
have ever come through La Grande
since influx started passed through
La Grande this morning on their way
to their home in the east from the
Seattle fair, and the tour of the
northwest Almost all of these ate
their breakfast here and left quite a
little money with the restaurant and
lunch counters. There wer some too.
who were looking for homes in the
west and La Grande got her share
of them.
The Commercial club's supply of
the small pamphlets telling the story
of the Grande Ronde is exhauted and
nothing remain to pass to the tour
ist, but the large books and these
are too costly to scatter Indiscrim
inately to all of the passengers. The
real estate men are compelled to do
"tongue talking" and distribute their
own advertisement. This Is not as
desirable as the small namnhlets
were as they were always sure to be
read and commented upon.

REV. J. L. IRELAND.
Pastor.
Those who failed to see the uer
formance of "The Girl" at the Pas
time theater last night, should by ail
means avail themselves of the oppor
tunity, either tonight or tomorrow
night, and attend. The piece is dra
matically one of the best ever given
at this pouular house. As "The Girl"
Miss Manyon Steward was a revela
tion to her many friends, while the
part is an exacting one, she was full?
capable, and proved her ability to
do a strong part, without overdoing
it. Her acting was at all times easy
and natural, free from the affectation
so often seen in roles of this kind.
Of the supporting cast, while all de
serve favorable mention Mr. Russell
Harrison and Chas. Leonard should
come first as both were splendid. As
"Jack Delmore" Mr. Harrison dil by
far the best work of his engagement
here, and showed an artistic voncep
tion of the character. His reading
was smooth, his articulation clear
and his manly appearance v
strength to the part. Mr. Leonard as
"Luke Short" was also worthy of the
favorable comment passed by the
large audience. The same play will
be given tonight and tomorrow night
and will be followed Sunday with
Bartley Campbell's "Divorced."
