La Grande is to have a fine addition laid out at once, and some of the choicest close-in locations will be put on the market. It is the Dr. O'Connor tract that will be cut up and everyone here knows the merit of this real es tate proposition. It has been often remarked what a remarkable thing for such a close-In acreage tract to lie idle, and the won der has been that some one did not plat it, and place It on the market long ago. The tract is almost sur rounded by the city of La Grande and lies in a way that makes It decidedly a perfect residence. district. Improvement lo be Made. Thoroughly . modern lrfe itteafl adding JUHlesidence district to a councilman: Exalted Ruler, Sorrowing Family and Friends, and Brother Elks: We have assembled at this hour and hall, to pay our last sad tribute, in a formal way, to the memory and vir tues of a departed brother. In this presence we contemplate that greatest of all great mysteries, the problem of Life and Death. Confronted with its renewal and continuance forever, we will all leave these ceremonies little wiser than now. The solution Is still in dispute, and while man mounts In the scale of wisdom along all material lines, all the countless dead have ta ken ship upon the shoreless Bea of eternity, and no wave bears a re turning sail. From he lips of the unreplylng dead comes no. word as to whether death is a door or a wall, whether it Is the beginning of a new er and a better, life, or an entrance up on that tongueless silence of a dream less sleep betokening a painless, time less rest. But "hope springs eternal in the human breasts," based upon the prophecy of promise, until life mocks the Idle hate of his arch enemy, death; for it came forth from the divine giver.' and shall have no end.

This tract being especially desirable, the owner finally decided to cut it up and in doing so he has a(''?d an asset to La Grande's permanent wealth that is of great value.

Appended is an eulogy, rend in re spect to the memory of the late George Kreiger, read by the writer. F. S. Ivanhoe Sunday afternoon at the funeral services conducted by the Elks, over the remains of the deceased universe Brother George Kreiger waa born in Germany over forty years ago. Under the Institutions of the fatherland, he grew, to young manhood, when at the age of twenty-one years, he came to this land of enlarged liberty, and greater opportunities. With charac teristic German thrift, industry and Integrity, he embarked in business and established a home in this city, and early dentified himself- with the growth of this section. He was plain, unassuming, industrious, kind, honest and thoughtful. He made no pre tenses; he did not assume superior knowledge and did not surrender what he had upon the altar of the assump tion of others. By his dally life, he preached the gospel of personal in dustry, and rendered unto all their just dues cheerfully and without com plaint. And withal, he was more than passing kind to all. Through sunshine and storm, he never frowned. With a smile that was as genuine as a sum mer rain, he greeted all alike; and met every honest obligation like a man. In the life of Brother Krelger. there seems everything to comment! and nothing to condemn. If I shoult1 summarize his character in a coin monplace thought, I would simply say that Brother Kreiger was a man who at all times and in all places attended to his own business. With every struggle he proved to be of the oak lather than the vine a man ol strength rather than weakness. With his many kindnesses was blended in the most perfect harmony, a firmness that was just. And, to this mixed audience, I may be pardoned for say ing he fully exemplified the charity taught by our order. Who amons "9. either a member of this lodge, or a citizen, knowing George Kreiger in his life time, can truthfully say Broth er Kreiger ever uttered an unkind c i .niliailtable word concerning his fel low man? We are taught that charity !. :s not consist alone In the givln. ci alms, aiding those suffering with physical Infirmities. This is, of coorse, taught and practiced. But there is a higher and nobler attribute of char ity that speaks no ill of any one- -H charity ol silence and forbe.uvnce that ri'iehes forth the hand of htlo in lirur of misfortune, hunuatfon nit' digress -when the worM h full o" ll.ime, and the mouth and putrid1 lips of biander bruite abroad evil r I oi-t, and feed a diminutive son with tV nourishment of railty. He per sonated the virtue of charitable con fv'iMutitin for the weaknesses and fol lies of others, led an honest and up ripht course with his feliowmen. He fought the good fight. He finished the race and kept the faith. As clt'zens, friends, neighbors and brothers, let us ro forth" from these obsequies witli our feeble virtue reassured stronger rsl better by the lesson of his Hfe. It h been well said that no star ever ruse or set without influence some where; and that no life was ever strong iu its purpose without all life being made stronger and better there by. Let the influence of his life guide d- vooesrrrcfHlidn faontw aontwaonw and direct us In the paths of a Chris tian charity that will miike all lif? stronger and better.

To the grief-stricken family, who feel and sustain an unmeasured loss. ; a loss iinlv litiffaratnml In- Ihnca l.o., ... ! ing a similar affliction, there remains a consoling pride in the lesson of an honest career and a well-spent life; a f FAIR . 5 x--e'lr,yT--'.',ic'y' character without reproach the ripe fruit, of worthy deeds. With him im mortality was the eternal consequence of his own acts. He believed that ev ery pure thought, every disinterested act of -human kindness hastens the harvest of universay good. And when you pluck from the tree of life these flowers, there remains but the barren thorns of selfishness and sin. We all wish and hope for happiness beyond this life. "Immortality is a word that Hope, through all ages, has been whis pering to Love," the golden bridge of life emerges from gloom, and rests upon the battlements of shadow. It has been said that the "ear of wretch edness and the purple robe of power, lose all distinction in the democracy of death. And yet to all a time will or may come, when the favored Hps of life will long for the delicious kiss of death when "tired with the dust and glare of day, we shall hear with joy the rustling garments of the night." . When we would go to meet those who have passed this way, rath er than remain with the care, pain and distress of a troubled world. Let the life and memory of your loved one. like a benediction, remind you at all times, that It Is not all of life to live, nor all of death to die. So live that his memory will be honored, and your lives, like bis, will leave the world your debtor, and mankind the price less legacy of honest effort. If you and If we all emulate his virtues and prac tice his example of worthy deeds when we are gone, those who knew us can truthfully say, "They have enriched the realms of death." ' These sad rites are 1 1 it a feeble ex pression of what we feel. The loss we sustain is that of the community and the family. But let us all be remind ed that our duty Is to the living; the -dead have left us the example, and we can only profit by following the teach ings of the lesson that is our inheri tance.
