A RAILROAD HAS GOOD
MEJiT.
JUDG-
. When the O. R. ft N. Railroad com-
' pany announced It would expend
1250,000 on the La Grande division
headquarters and the Portland ter
minus, It had the usual rood judg
ment in a business w.iy .aracterls
tic of railroad companies.
The money would not be spent in
. this city If the company did not have
seed of extensive Improvements and
also have faith in La Grande as a
city. There has been on many occa
sions stories . afloat regarding the
moving or division neaaquariers, out
no one ever gave the report much
thought and now that the company
has issued a statement regarding the
Improvements to be made no fear
need ever be entertained regarding
the removal of shops. ' !
On the other hand it means that
La Grande's railroad shops will be
enlarged and much of the work now
being done at Portland will be dono
.right here in the mountains, thus
saving the transportation on heavy
machinery all of which cost3 the
company money. This will require
an additional force of skilled labor
that means , an augmented pay roll
and La. Grande will again be the bene
ficiary. ,
TVin't vnn think things look Drettr
good here?
In fact, can you put your finger on
a town that has license to make a
city any quicker than La Grande has?
And It Is coming rapidly. In three
years the man who returns after be
ing absent that long will scarcely
know the dace. Values will be much
Accurate estimate of the number
of colonists who this spring changed
their homes from the east and mid
dle states nd located In the great
northwest country places the number
at 50.000. This Is hearsay but Is
based on the number of tickets sold
by each railroad and must be correct
That is a large number of people.
Where did they all go? La Grande
is located on the main line of . the
Union Pac'fic. This city has a great
deal to offer in- commercial lines to
people wanting to embark in business.
The valley of the Grande Ronde and
the Wallowa country each offers
abundant homes' for thousands,' yet
how many homeseekers have visited
this section the last few months? "
The, answer will' be: Oh, they are'
carried to either . Portland acd Seat
tle and then the coast gets them. But
why does, the coast get them?
Is it not true, that La Grande has
the first show to interest the man
comlna westward? He travels for two
days over a desert extending from
Cheyenne, Wyoming to Baker City,
and the Grande Ronde is positively
the first garden spot where nature
provides vegetation that is found af
ter leaving Cheyenne. This is In It
self a great thing, for where is there
a man or woman, who after looking
for forty-eight hours on sage brush
and sand will not refaice at letting
the eye behold the green fields of
the Grnde Ronde?
The new movement should be to
get literature of some nature before
these people before they get down as
far aB The Dalles. "By so doing an
Impression would be made. They
would not stop here when they have
tickets to coast points, but they would
remember this valley as they con
tinue their journey and In many in
stances they would compare every
place they visited with what -was of
fered in the Grande Ronde.
5 The time Is now passed for this
year's heavy rush and a splendid op
portunity has passed with it. Surely
this part of Oregon will never sleep
on its oars again when so much Is
POSSIBLY.
The price of flour has declined 40
cents per barrel since last ' week,
making a drop or nearly fl since
wheat first struck the toboggan a few
weeks ago. "It does not require a
very great amount of knowledge of
either mathematics or economics to
locate at least a portion of the blame
for the higher cost of living. Now
that a start has been made on the
staff of life, there may be a chance
in other directions. It Is still too
early to expect much of a decline in
the cost of automobiles, but that also
may occur when the . present brisk
demand Is saltlafled. Oregonlan.
BENSONS SOT CANDIDATES.
Acting; Governor Denies . that His
Brother Is Candidate for Office.
Governor Frank W. Benson's friends
in La Grande will be interested to
know that he is not to run for gov
ernor to succeed himself and that his
brother Is not' going after the gu
bernatorial honors either. A special
from San Francisco says: -
"Absolutely nothing in the political
story," said Governor Benson, of Ore
gon, when he was asked tonight as to
the truth 'of a story that he Is to re
tire from "the fight for' the office of
aecTetary of state" and jthat Ills broth
er "H. L. Benson, is to seek the nom
ination for governor; ""'I haven't even
those yarns 'travel -very' fast No, I
can say that the story is utterly -without
foundation." . t.i 1 .
Governor Eraso.n aCded that if all
goes well with him he may be able to
.leave for Oregon In' two' weeks.- He
has Just completed an X-ray treat
ment, and If his nose continues to
Improve he will not have to take fur
ther treatment at the hands of the
local specialists". It Is possible, how
ever, that he will have to take an
other X-ray treatment. In which case
he would be detained in San Francis
co for five of six weeks.
Dr. Stelner, who Is visiting the gov
ernor, but not participating In the
treatment of the case, says that he
came to. San Francisco on auta busi
ness In connection with a heating
plant, and that he Intends returning
to Salem In two or three days.'

It is amusing to think the Sunset
Telephone company, which is a
branch 'of the Bell, Is arranging to
give the "hello" girls Instruction in
voice culture. Most "hello" girls now
has a better right to hold a festival?
Cove Is one of the choice spots, on
