IDE CRA3DE B05DE DORSE j It would seem' that either Intention al or unintentional, certain state live stock officials are making: state ments that baTe a tendency to destroy tbe horse market In this Immediate vicinity. That anyone should Hriifully claim f landers ei!rs among horses of th!s section Is more than tan Le understood by local people, for as . matter of fact no glanders have ap peaxed In this raller for years, and "there la not and has not been a horse under quarantine for a long time. . ; Statements of this kind are most damaging and every man, especially every official clothed with the least particle of authority, should be irery careful In making them. One man serving as a minor official even by appointment can do more damage to I a market with one or two utterances than ranchers can repair in years of constant care and attention to their ' "breeding animals. j Now. It is veil known that the j Grande Ronde horse is In many ways ' superior to other horses and the rea j sons are plain to even the layman who j does not study horse breeding. In the ' first place, the altitude of this part of the state seems to be especially ad- I apted to bringing but and developing 5 the strong, sturdy horse. The feed 1 raised here has considerable to do ? with successful horse raising for It Is admitted that the bunch crass Is far superior to the grass of the coast country. Knowing that these facts are es tablished .horse buyers come to the Grande Ronde valley every year and buy large numbers of animals which are shipped to different points. This CEOKGE PALMER, PBet.

Wbfie La Grande Is not society mad, it does ma'ntain a steady' gait, and though the holidays are still in mind, there has been a wide range of so cial affairs, and club activities have been resumed In this first week , of 1911. Strangers coming within our gates remark at the. great number of club- and societies in La Grande, and therein lies democracy. A weekly re view of club life and social life In volves every walk of life almost, and "society" as used In La Grande Is sya onomous with pastime's that urllft and entertain. Last Saturday evening Miss Ethel Wright was hostess to a large number of her friends who had gathered at her home on 1202 Pennsylvania Ave- , cue to watch the New Year In with TVarne Plckler of Portland as "motif." Many aaicsing games 'and contests were heartily enjoyed by alL Light refreshments were served soon before " the . whistlts announced the begin ning of 1?H.

On January 25, the Brotherhood oa Trainmen of this city will make u other bow to the social world when itl gives its annual ball an event simil-l ar to the Firemen's ball, which Is al ways waited for with much interesU Not only to the trainmen, but to th railroad employes and the public atl large do these railroad events proTei themselves of especial Interest Ser- eral committees have the matter of! details In hand. In years past the lanterns and headlights which the firemen lay claim to in their decora tions, are superseded by fuses by tie trainmen. There Is every reason to believe that this year's event will be up to th former dances given yearly by ;tte Brotherhood in this city. The Ett' hall will be the scene of the event . A dance will be given by the Mod ern Woodmen or. America on Mon-, day evening; January'lilnth. . The in-. spallation of officers Is to be heM t that time.
