The move made on the part of bus iness men here to attend the Union horse show and arrange matters at home so that everyone else from La Grande can attend Is one of the most enterprising and most commendable pieces or puouc spirit ma; nas come under our observation la many days, Naturally the rnterests'of La Grande and Union are the same. What ben efits oq? benefits the other. But aside from the business and commercial phase. It Is refreshlng.to know, tha such a friendly feeling exists be tween the two communities. , Life Is short ftt best and what Is we use or noiaing any other than pleaBant feelings for our neighbors? If ever you get to feeling rathef up pish and Imagine that ybu are the for the county Beat and lt Will in elude within its boundaries the Mil-ton-Freewater country and the Hud son Bay country, but will leave the section south of Dry creek in Umatilla county. It Is the belief of the men behind the proposed county of "Hud son" that If the two county division bills are passed . upon by the voters next fall the "Hudson" county bill will carry. This because under the bill just drafted the east end proper will be allowed to secede from Umatilla county but the WeBton and Athena regions, will still be left In Umatilla county. v . . " ' ; ; - .. ; y Ever8lnce the "Orchard" county scheme was sprung Beveral weeks ago business men of this city and of Athe na and Weston have considered the proposition of drafting a counter bill providing for a county north of Dry rreek. However, no definite steps towards this end were taken until a few dayB ago. Last 'evening a conference was held at the Commercial club rooms between representative, business men or this Its Marvelous Mochanism and Pov er- Th; Moves It. We hear rv.i i frrmi time to time of the wonders vt this or that complicat ed and intricate machine, but there are few pieces of machinery more mar Telous than that of the common watch. , A watch, It may be stated as a gen eral proposition, is the smallest, most delicate Instrument of the same num ber of parts that has ever been de vised. About 173 different pieces of material enter Into it3 construction, and upward of 2.400 separate opera tions ore comprised ju Its manufacture. Certain of the facts connected with Its performuufe jiti? well nigh Incredi ble when couxitU'ivd as a whoit.' A blacksmith- strikes several hundrort blows on his "Anvil lu & day nnd, as a matter of course, is glad when Sunday comes, but the roller Jewel of a watch makes every day aud day after day 432,000 Impacts against the fork, or 157,080,000 blows during the course of a , year, without stop or rest-some 3,153,000.000 blows during the'spaee of twenty years, the period for Which, a watch is usually guaranteed to keep good time. ' But the wonder of it does not cease here. It has been calculated that the power that moves the watch is equiva lent to only four times the force used in a flea's jump. The watch power Is therefore what might be termed the equivalent of a four flea-power. One horsepower would suffice to operate 270,000,000 watches. Furthermore, the balance wheel of a watch Is moved by this four flea-power 1 43-100 Inches with each vibration, or 3,558 miles continuously in one year.
