Clarence Darrow, Labor Lawyer
of Chicago, Who Will Speak In

a : good lawyer, John Mitchell, then

recommended the Chicago attorney to
his executive board as the most avail

the miners' side of the strike to the
arbitration commission.
Darrow and Mitchell sat side by side
through the long weeks of the hear
ing, never, missing. a session or al
lowing the coal carrying railroads to
place one point before the commission
without combatting it.with the miners'
argument for better conditions.

' When old Doctor O'Connor, who has
peddled pills all over Union and Bak
er counties, decided' to put the Con
nordale addition on the market" he lit
tle knew the Interest he was going to
awaken in a local way. Alive to the
knowledge that La Grande was out
growing her premises the - old man
thought he would stretch out the res
idential district, but he did not Ima
gine that such a strong desire existed
here for desirable residence lots. "
Connordale has now been in the
people's mouths for a couple of weeks
and the resuest for lots Is enormous.
' Fifty per cent of the people of La
Grande want hom. Thr in h .
! centage living in rented rooms, rent
ed cottages or boarding at hotels.
Heretofore one objected to coming to
La Grande was because houses were
so hard, to get. And now that there Is
a chance to get good building lots on
easy terms provided restrictions are
followed' many of these people Bee a
home of their own with well kept
lawn out in Connordale.
La Grande's Steady Growth.
This paper, has bften told the story
of growth In La Grande, but it is one
of those continued serial stories which
is always ripe and each day shows an
other chapter. All the big Institutions
are Increasing .thelf number of men
employed, the "railroad has long ago
given out the information that La
Grande was to be the railroad supply
point east of the mountains, new
business is being started almost daily,
all of which lays more stones In the
already solid foundation of this city's
future. -.. ,
Nothing can prevent this from being
the Spokane of Oregon for the lead
over other cities is now too great.
And the Connordale addition, lying as
It does practically in the center of the
city, offers not only the desirable
place for homes but the chance for
Investment that is hard to beat.
