It is about time or' another story
to appear regarding; the entrance .of
a railroad into this valley ; from the
Walla Walla valley- Where there.. Is
o mtict talk, there must be some
thing doing. Themerlts of the prop
osition add strength to the rumors.
Not a . few . in La Grande will be
disappointed when they learn that'
we are not to .have a new depot
building. New structures have been
built at Pendleton " and Baker City,
jtnd it was given out that La Grande's
turn was next. Well, after all, La
Cfande has no complaint coming.
Either of the above' named cities
would gladly, trade off their depot
buildings for our 'monthly pay roll.
The depot will come In time. ,
'
Did you ever think of the fact that
most of the fruit land salens are to
purchasers from the i outside., ; This
In commendable In one way new
money and new interests. However,
Dot a few of our citizens will Bit and'
look on while the many bargains are
going to others. When land values J
began to rise in this valley about 2
years ago how many of us realized
the bargains that, were In store for
those whj) invested? Then we thought
that $35 was the limit of valuation.
When Walter Pierce came over fromj
Umatilla county and bought the Sara
Booth place, paying about $35 an
acre for. lt, not a,.. few sympathized
with the "tenderfoot.';. Today. Mr,
. Pierce would not think of taking
less than , four times what he paid
for it, and possibly would refusti
that. .The same thing Is true of our
fruit land. . We do not realize what
en opportunity we have. Take, a vis
ft to other fruit sections of the
jS'orthwest and compare land values

Whitman is only 23 years old, hav1;
ing first appeared before the-Jefferi

when onlyiflve years of age. Dr. De
Costa, of this institute was the first
man to present him to medical stu
dents and the physician bought his
body for $500, with the understadlng
that he was to' receive hlB skeleton
in caBe of death. ; Whitman, however,
outlived him. ; 1 ' -

natural, and when merely a young
ster practiced hlB Btunts for his own
amusement which ' did ' not turn ' out
in the form of amusement when his
mother caught him' in' the "act,' for
she frequently spanked him for it.
