FEW CITIES HATE THE SPIRIT.
Tomorrow the business houses of
La Grande will close in order thet
a large number of La Grande people
including clerks' and business men
may attend . the Stock Show in the
neighboring town of Union. This hit

Too much care cannot be exer
cised in seeing that boys do not car
ry guns. At this season of. the year
it ts natural for youngsters to have
a desire to hunt and many of them
use target rifles and shot guts. The
dreadful accidents that are almost
daily reported with a boy and a gun
as principals Is ample proof that it
Is a dangerous combination.

but what we want to bring before
every reader is the splendid exam-
pie set by this city. ..
You may visit cities, large ' and
mall, and you will find very few
that will close buslress in order to
take a trip to a neighboring point
They should, but In this material age
when almost everyone seems to be
chasing the silver coin a good share
of the time you find little disposition

the nrst city in Oregon and the first
In the Northwest to do such a hand
some thing.
Portland sends out her junketing
delegations to bolster up trade but
La Grande Is going to spend the day
with a neighbor. It is not business
reasons that prompt this city to es
tablish this splendid precedent. It
Is not because every firm here is sot
well organized to conduct Its business
on that day. But It Is beiause the
people want to do it They feel it
j a proper inouie 10 union ana me
Grande Ronde valley, and besides ev
eryone wants to see the stock, shake
hands with their friends and accept
the hospitalities . offered by Union.
It Is a red letter day for La Grande,
and when the shriek of the locomotive
pulling the special train warns Hot
Lake that La Grande la coming six
hundred strong; when the band strikes
up- a soul stirring piece of music like
"Dixie" or "Marching Thro' Georgia"

to come to a realization, if they have
not already done so, that they are
doing absolutely the proper act and
by their example are aiding to over
come a selfishness which the average
man Is very likely to possess unless
he has perfect control over himself.

There is a little community over In
the extreme eastern part of the state
that is trying hard to find oil, and
If Vale finds oil there will be some
thing doing In the desert.
We remember when Beaumont, Tex-
tlon there In June. .
The Newport Engineering company
was given the contract -for laying the
18-inch main on First street to sup'
ply the city proper. This was one
of the 1 most important propositions
considered as the water supply is
limited, the pressure low and an emer
gency is existing right now. , The work
will be hurried, and at a cost of
about 50 per cent less than the city
can do it for. . The project wlll coBt
$4,052.00 plus $380.
Alll bills except salary accounts
were referred to committees to be
enacted on at the next meeting.
The curfew ordinance was given
final passage. From October ' to
March, children under sixteen must
be off the streets unless properly
escorted, at 8 o'clock in the evening,
and from March to October at .nine
o'clock.
The wire fence ordinance was also
read a third time and passed. It pro
hibits wire fences in the city limits,
and requires city engineer permits for
any sort of wire fence.
A deed to the right-of-way on the
new Island City cutoff was presented
to the city and a warrant order drawn
for $385, to pay the land up in full.
A resolution was introduced which
divides the city Into sewer districts
similar to Improvement districts now
existing. Under this provision the dis-t
tricts can build sewers the same as
pavement Is now laid and sidewalks
built. This was referred to commit
tees.
Two weeks hence the people of
South La Grande on C avenue will be
given a chance to remonstrate against
improvements ordered for that street.
The pest house committee was grant
ed an extension of time.
Reports of the different depart
ments were submitted and the essence
of them read to the council, after
which all were ordered filed. It was
interesting to know that 22 dogs have
had license fee paid, which all agreed
helped some.
The Fly Nuisance. -"When
Mayor Meyers called the at
tention of the council to the garbage
regulations and asked that steps be
taken to have garbage cans placed
in closed cans because of the ap
proaching' summer, he voiced a senti
ment that will meet with general ap
proval for it is now known to be true
that the house fly spreads disease
with alarming rapidity. Every com
munity waged a war on the fly last
year and the same!,w-ijl bef kept up
this season. " '( -' '.. ' - j
Councilman Church made a bus
gestlon of Importance along the same"
line when he asked that certain hours
be given for hauling slops andJgarbage
through the city and that all wagons
be covered.
It seems that a doggery down in
the north end, is a rank nuisance to
the community and the police commit
tee was last night ordered to look
Into the matter and eradicate the nui
sance.' , ;'- ' .; : ' -
The question of riding bicycles on
sidewalks was up for discussion and
while the council wishes .to ,woTk ho
hardship on men who use .wheels'1 go
ing to and from their work, 'it Is in
tended that indiscriminate riding of
wheels on the sidewalk shall be pro
hibited. , The city attorney will draw
an ordinance on the subject and have
it ready for next meeting. ., .
But when the speed limit for. au
tomobiles was mentioned there was a
riDole of mirth went around the en
tire circle.

a city law and should be enforced to
the letter. Some favored raising the
limit from 12 to 20 miles an hour but
the majority seemed opposed tot it,
As the law how stand an auto can
run 12 miles an hour on a .straight
away street and miles In rounding
corners. Also the matter of running
machines without lights was mention
ed. ..
Councilman Monroe called attention
to the annoyance caused by the small
boy's express wagon on sidewalks In
certain parts of the city.
The police department was instruct
ed to see that Tin Can chop houst
was cleaned up and properly handled
The matter of trimming trees was
discussed and it was argued that all
trees within city limits should be
trimmed according to former stipula
tions. Poplar trees in the district to
be paved will likely have to go as
they are Bald to be impediments to the
work, but Box Elders and other shade
trees are -to be saved and the pav
ing done around them.
The committee on moving of foun
tain stated that the task would be
accomplished this week.
La Grande's hauling will probably
be let to the lowest bidder. In this
matter, however, it is quite probable
that bids will be asked for and theBe
bids will be received at a certain
time and opened according to prece
dent which has only been broken a
very few times.
To repair the telephone line to the
water system is an Irksome task and
one that has met with many obstacles.
Steps were taken last night' to again
make the attempt.
To Expedite Work.
The mayor asked all committees
last evening to meet in advance of
fhe council session and work over
all business that has been referred
to them so that the session might
turn off its business with more rapid
ity. By doing this It is believed there.
will be a great deal of time saved and
small detail matters will not have to
be gone over by the entire body. Ad
journment was taken until next Wed
nesday evening.
