, On January 4, next, there will be a
meeting of no small significance and
which will doubtedless draw the var
ious sections of the valley closer to
gether. On this date the La Grande
Commercial club will give a banquet
and Invitations are already out for
committees from ' the other commer
cial bodies of the county to be pre
sent and discuss common interests.
If the entire county combined its In
terests along certain mutual grounds
great good would result We have
such a variety of resources that by
a)l working together results would
follow. La Grande is In the position,
If permitted, to materially help every
section of the county. La Grande has
reached that stage in her develop
ment that she realizes that no por
tion of the county can grow and ex
pand but what indirectly, if not di
rectly, such developments will add to
our commercial benefit Therefore La
Grande stands ready to meet every
portion of the valley more than half
way, but La Grande cannot be ex
pected to do it all, neither can Bhe
alone, but with the assistance of these
communities much more can be ac
complish than " under the . present
system of each section working alone
for its 'own individual selfish Inter
ests.. Union county did some very ef
fective work at the Spokane Apple
Show, that was only made possible
" by the combined efforts of Elgin,
Union and La Grande. This unity of
. Interests can be extended in many
directions and is worthy of an attempt.
Yesterday the United States land of
fice at La Otunde recleved the first
final proofs submitted under the new
Bystem of securing title to timber land
There were five proofs in all and the
government appraisements ranged
form $627. to $848 for each quarter
section. Under the former system the
government would only receive $400
for each 160 acres. The appraise'
stents were based upon the amount
of timber on each tract and evidently
the distance to the sawmill as some
were valued at $1. per thousand feet
and other tracts at 75 cents per thou
sand feet of standing timber. Another
change compels the applicant to de
posit the amount of appraisement at
the time of applying to make proof
Thus the money is held by the gov
ernment during the time of adver
tising. This means that there will be
so more advertising to make proof
to be followed by a non appearance on
the part of the applicant. What will
be the actual results of these new re
quirements remains to be seen, but
o far there has been very few timber
proofs.

Lewiston, Idaho, Dec. 30. Aroused
by charges that have been published
that open gambling was being per

announced today that he will call up
Jiidge Steele of the district court to
summon a grand jury for the pur
pose of investigating. Tweedy was
elected on' the reform ticket but it is
charged that the police commissioner
and the police officers openly disre
gard his orders. Sensational disclos

is convened.
