When the Warren Construction company; first placed its plow and steam roller on the streets of this city yesterday, the turning point was marked Indicating La Grande as a city. From now every citizen can be gin to adjust himself to a more metro politan community and take , pride in speaking of the paving and other im proTements in his home city. , ' I La Grande has no feverish boom.

It sparkles with perrnan-1 ency above everything else, which ' means fto much to investors. J Paving is the first step.

Therefore keep the flies away from the milk. Don't allow files In your house. Don't permit them near your food, especially milk. Don't buy foodstuffs, where flies are tolerated. Don't have feeding places where flies can load themselves with ejec tion from typhoid or dysenteric pat ients. Don't allow your fruits and confec tions to be exposed to the swarms of flies. Don't let flies crawl over the baby and swarm upon the nipple of its nursing bottle. Summary Clean up your premises inside and out, and then as much as you can, see that others do the same. Strike at the root of the evil. The housefly breeds in. horse manure, kitchen offal and the like. Dispose of Jhese materials in such a way that the housefly cannot propagate. Screen all windows and doors, and insist that your grocer, butcher, baker and every one from whom you buy food stuffs, does the same. There is more health in a well-screened house than in many a doctor's visit, ; ' After you have cleaned up your own premises, inspect the neighborhood for flv-hrrilna nlnoaa Poll V nt.a.ntnn of the owner to them, and if he does not remove them, complain to the board of health.

Sunday he found two big black bears caught. He killed them and dressed them for meat preserving the pelts. In addition to the two captured and killed, Misner was sitting in the door of hla ranch when a big brown bear ambled out of the .timber near by, sniffed the air and then ran .grunting back into the forest. Misner followed but did not get the animal. Wright Henderson, living practical ly at Promise, was startled at seeing a black bear run squarely through his door yard at about dusk Sunday even ing. ., ; Northwest of Promise, in the Troy country, and up the Little Salmon river, many bears have been seen, ac cording to reports from there.

(!)rge AtwoiiU was uu orphan who did not renu'inber father or mother. He lived with an male till that uncle filed. At this time George was seven teen years old and wished to go to col lege, but, uot knowing of auy means to pay his way, was alxnit to give it up when, the day after his uncle's funeral, he received notice from a law firm 'that they would pay him $1,200 n year uutil lie was twenty-one. This surprised him. lie visited the lawyers lu question, but they gave him no satisfaction concerning the source of the money they paid him except that It came from a fund left by his father for his education. He went to college and graduated when he was within a few months of coming of age. The day he left college, while won dering what work to take up, he re ceived a letter from an aunt whom he had never seen or heard of, telling him that lu was to come to live with her. Here was another surprise. It seemed that fate was ready to take care of him, jjut was not Inclined to give him any information ahead as to what would be done with him. He had now reached 'au age' when he felt compe teut to take care of himself, but he did not have any rofe8slon or position. So he concluded to call on this aunt. He did so and found her a sister of his mother. "Where Is your baggage?" she asked. "At my lodgings." "Send for it. "See here, aunt; I'm getting tired of being provided for in this mysterious fashion. Tell me all about it." "Certainly. Your mother died when you wen in iufancy. and your father soon followed her. They arranged for your future the day you Were born. All the steps have been provided for, Ten as to a wife. "A wife! Well, I like that! I shall marry whom 1 choose." "That remains to be seen. It la the affair of your parents and of yourself. It does not concern me whom you marry except as regards one person. 1 have living with me an adopted j IHanr HAIR SWITC All Lengths and Shades PRICES $4.00 TO $16.00 Braids Attached t esii!" in place.

Therefore I warn you to be careful not to fall in love with her." "Is she of royal "blood V "Ask no questions, but do as I say." George met Miss Harwood the same evening at dinner. She was dressed in mourning, which wus very becoming to a fair complexion and hair so light that It was almost white. Her eye .was a liquid brown. "Fate," George remarked to himself, "has been kind to me, but I fear that In throwing me in the way of this girl, whom 1 am not to love, she has done mo sufficient harm to make up for ail her benefits. 1 suppose 1 shall con ceive a craze for her simply because I am forbidden to do so. I wonder who has been provided for me. Ten. to one she is homely and otherwise unattractive." What was his surprise to. find after becoming on -intimate terms with Ite becca Harwood to hear from her that her aunt betoiv his arrival had warn ed her against liliu as she hud wanted him against her. His aunt had. told her that there was a business Ui which she (Miss Harwood) was halt owner and the owner of the other bait was the son of her father's partuet:.. Her father, who had recently died, had ar ranged that she should inarry this son and that' he should conduct the business owned by the two. So that was the reason why George was not to fall in love with. Rebecca. What the deuce did his aunt mean such being the case by bringing him under the same roof with, the young heiress? Not only did she do this, but he had not beeu In the house three days before she took herself off some where, leaving him and Rebecca alone In the house, chaperoned by aa old woman housekeeper. He bad nothing, to do, no one to talk to but Rebecca, One might as well have put s savory, dish before a hungry man and tell him not to eat It. The result was that Rebecca, and George fell desperately In love with each other and the day his aunt was to return walked off together and were married. They sent her a telegram an nouueing that they had spoiled the' plans fate had laid for Rebecca and' wished to know what next they should do. George certainly did not expect his aunt to have any consideration for him thereafter. An answer to the dispatch was re ceived as follows; "Come home." They took the next train, and when they arrived the aunt met them In the hall. "It's all your fault, aunt,", George hurried to say. Ton ha to business to throw ns together." "Of course It's my fault, and I took pains that it should be my fault. Xow listen. You are the children of tw partners who wished yon to marry and selected me to make a match be tween you. How could I do so better thin by leaving you together and tell ltijr you that you were each destined (Goods HES SSI-gg- Ea"y m ross Turban Rolls 25c eich Gaps 25c 7a Combs ' , . r ' for some one else?
