Bailey Cot Elgin 'reflected the spirit of all'secons of the county In work ing harmony, setting forth that each section had Interest that " when de veloped would make one of the grand commonwealths that provide homes and opportunities for thousands and thousands. ' This sentiment was echoed from every seat ' Supt E E Bragg. : 'y "The Public." school8,,-8uperlnten- dent Bragg, always has something to say when he' talks ' and last " night his posltlno on -better school fuctll- UeB In La Grande was clothed In iio uncertain language. He cited the fact that on Thursday during the last fair he overheard,1 remark while the suck review was taking place that there were 20 horses i In that parade worth from 160,000 to S70.000. Mr. Bragg re plied, "Did yon notice that other pa rade wherein there were, 2150 ani mals and that each and every one were worth fl,t)00,000?' He referred to the memorable pa rade ot the. school children of the county. ' ' He hen reviewed the change of sentiment In the commission appoint ed by the Commercial Club to InveS' tlgate and report, which they did 'af ter calm consideration. , He cited that he was present when the chair man. who at the beglnlng firmly be lieved that our chools were suffl clent but he dictated the report : re garding the startling finding by this representative board. He was pres ent when another member dictated the clause asking for a bond Issue to the extent of $75,000, whereas, prior to this Investigation, this mem ber firmly believed that $15,000 or at the most $25,000 would be sum clent. If every taxpayer would make a Blmllar Investigation there would be no doubt as to . the result of the vote on the 26th of this month. Mr. Bragg Bnowea that the tax to pro vide for this improvement would on ly amount to 80 cents on the $1000 for the next ten years. His remarks showed clearl the sentiment of the meeting. Judge Knowles "The Lawyer" Happily for the Judge his position made It possible for him to tell many secrets regard ing the professfon. How they helped good men out of trouble, bad men also. He took the humorous side of the Bubject and kept one and all in merriment . He lft his subject on the close and branched off on the workings of the true booster and concluded with the ' recitation of a poem written by Strickland Glllilan, the well known author, brother of Dr. J. D. Glllilan of this city. TUSH DOST KNOCK." By Strickland W. Glllilan..

Walter rime "Good Roads" This subject was assigned to Hon. T. W. Wright, ot Union, too could not be present and as usual when the Club gets into a tight place they call upon' Mr. Pierce and jhe never disappoints.. Be ing one ot the large taxpayers of the county his remarks on permanent roads received ' an appreciative au dience. He expressed a desire for macadam roads from La Grande to Union, rom ta Grande to , North Powder and to Elgin, estimating the cost as $200,000 and showing It to he an Investment. Ho eulogized the ef forts of the County Court in their be ginning for permanent roads and pleaded for all to back them up. Fred B. Currey "Publicity and the Press" Thin topic could not have been assigned to a more competent person. Mr. Currey was for many years in news paper experience and his success as publicity manager of the La Grande Commercial Club Is known to ! all. He Is a booster of the first water and his remarks last night added en thusiasm. He is working for a great er Union county and is succeeding. President John Collier The New Infant" Here was ano-, ther, topic that brough fo.(h much comment prior to . its delivery, Mr. Collier as president of the Commer cial Club Is giving public matters a great deal ot his time.' The "New Infant" was the Chautauqua which the Commercial Club has launched, and the Observer will publish Mr. Collier's paper In full as it contains so much general Information that the public really needs along Chau tauqua lines. . W.B. Sargent , "Real Estate" With twenty years of experience, Mr. Sargent cited the various stages which our land values has underwent and while many of our best lands are now reaching the $80 to $100 mark yet in comparison to other localities of the northwest, our lands are much too cheap. Our soil and climatic conditions are such that fruit growing is becoming a strong and attractive feature and as result hundreds of acres are now in orchard and thousands will soon be planted. This means a solution to a certain extent of the realiza tion of the dream of the past, a cut ting up of our large farms, v W. J. Chnrefe "The Union County Exposition" Among the many achievements and victories as a result of the activities of the Commercial Club was the suc cessful launching of the Union Coun ty Exposition. Mr. Church took a very active part in the new plan which gave such universal salsfac Ion last year and his remarks not only regarded the past but the pos sibilities of the future were received with vigorous applause. Mr. Church along : with the present board of managers are already laying plans for the fair next faU and by Mr, Church's remarks last night cer tainly made it clearer to the many present that they could expect great er results.; ... " ' ';" "; ". , , : '.VV T. A. PJner-art. ;- v Mere typewriter Is no phonograph; hence to paraphrase the closing ad dress would be sacrellglous. In moro than ; customary . eloquence he dealt at tome length on "Union County." "Did Elgin die when the railroad was extended beyond UT Pinch its tall and see; Did Union die because the county seat was moved? No. it still lives;, Did La Grande die when It went dryt No it still lives and will continue to live along with Elgin and Union as long as time Is." Such was the ' beautiful' climax of bis address and is indeed food for thought and consideration.
