DAILY ISFLUX OF HOMESEKKUIS
NOrT.
Isdlasa Grosp Here, Aaxlsas to la.
vest Locally.
La Grande laureates hare sans
songs of boost about outsiders com
ing here tb look for land locations,
hare "piped" up exultantly at the ar
rival of one or two a week, but the
past 10 days have seen half-dozens
and more here dally. As soon as one
party takes Us departure another
comes and real estate 'men are 'kept
busy continually showing prospec
tive buyers the valley. Automobile!
whls in and out with homeseekers.
Following on the heels of the two
parties here yesterday, another party
of four from Perrysvllle, Indiana, ar
rived In La Grande last evening and
today toured the fruit centers. Three
of them are farmers who have been
In "Eastern Oregon and wasmiigum,
and aside from what they saw In the
Flathead reservation, have found
nothing to compare with the activities
they found here.
The fourth, Lewis W. Morgan. Is
now a general merchant, but was at
one time a newspaper man at Perrys
vllle. The party consists of C. C, J.
C. and J. B. Person 8 and Lewis Mor
gan.
Two of the Parsons are out west
to stay and will buy somewhere and
the other two are not so anxious to
remain, unless they find something
to their particular liking.
This party like all others, are here
form one of two causes, or per
haps both; reading Union county de
scriptive literature or being sent here
as a result of a visit to the fair where
Union county's exhibit Is claiming
attention.
The first message from R. Plant,
who has started In his home-made
automobile for Medford a distance of
300 miles, was received this morning
and from the tone and . contents of
the letter one would Judge that he
was having considerable trouble. The
following Is the letter and will tell
its own story:
Meacham, Ore., 8, 12, 09, 5:30 a. m.
Kingsley ACoger.
' First Message, ,
Broke one hind spring. :We had to
pull vp hills with ropes. Our two
grips fell oft ' going ' down : hill and
we ran over them. We had on all
brakes, but could not hold It We
ran against a stump about 8 o'clock
last night and tore off the muffler
about one-half mile from Meacham,

, La Grande this morning bound 'or
northern Idaho, where they will be
used to pack to the mines. There
were 45 in number and were secured
in southern Idaho . near Mountain
Home.
The coat the owner $7.50 per and
after tha freight was paid and .the
cost of help considered, they cost
something like S35. per. The owner
stated that there was a large bunch
running loose around Mountain Home
and 'anyone that will pick them up is
the owner.
Up to the present time there are
no other names mentioned for the
office of president of the Commercial
club, but - that of John Collier. It
seems that all are more than satisfied
with the work of this man. Mr. Col-,
lier has certainly filled the office
with credit to himself and has done
untold of good for the Grande Ronde
and La Grande. He has never re
fused his aid when It was requested,
and always worked with that Tim
and vigor which' has", went far to
bring La Grande to the front The
election of officers take place at the
meeting of the club on next Mon
day night ' "

LAND OFFICE DECISION.
lleppncr Man Denied Hompsctcad He
cause he Was Marshal.
A decision has been handed down
by Register Bramwell in the case of
United States against John W. Ras
mus of Heppner. The homestead
proof Is denied on grounds that Mr.
Rasmus was for four years employed
by the city of Heppner as marshal,
while attempting to hold down a
homesetead. He affirms in his de
fense that he hired men to do the
work and. he lived on the homestead,
but the records show that he drew a
salary from the city of Heppner while
he alleges that he hired men to do
the work.
