rahan speak of the way Grande Rondo

DR. PUT TO SPOKANE.
,, It Is but ft natural consequence for
professional men,1' after., acquiring a
reputatiou .only earned by successful
l.work, to seek larger fields. This Is true
in the 'case of Dr. "W." T. Phy who
'; leaves Hot Lake this evening for Spo
kane where he will permanently lo
cate. , The Hot Lake Sanatorium has,
under his management, grown to be
one of the big concerns of the west and
; has attracted people from a great dis
tance. Succcbs has marked the work
of Dn Phy to the extent that he fs well
. known In many states, and for some
time he bag considered a change of 1o
cation to a metropolis where a greater
number of people can be reached.
This valley," which has been his
i. home since boyhood, appreciates the
doctor and he carries with him a pro
found wish for continued success in
' his new location - .

something of the valley and they want
to know more; that the desire to lo

everywhere . noticeable and that this

Mr. Handrahan, like many others, re
grets very seriously the fact that such
large land holding exist here, for he is
positive that thousands of home seek

possible to procure the land for them.
PASSING OF ED. FOWLER.
One of La Grande's substantial men
has been called to the great beyond.
Ed. Fowler, after a heroic fight for life,
died Saturday, Close friends thought
he would recover but it was not to be.
Ed. Fowler belonged to a class of
men always to be admired. He was
manly, brave and never displayed fear
of taking a stand on any question. Hy
pocrisy was unknown to his make-up;
his friends always knew where to rind

been one of an honorable business man
who has made good, and his death is
mourned by the community in gei-
DIRECT PURCHASING OF PRO
DUCTS .
The grip of the produce commission
house In Chicago upon the7 producer
has been ended by the change of sys
tem to outrlghjt buying, according to
a report which shows that only 25 pe,
cent of the produce, raised In the Unit
ed States now is shipped "on consign
ment." The bulk of the consignments
is found to be the very perishable stuff
not s:nt in carload lots, such as straw
berries. "There is still another angle
to the commission business that very
few people are familiar with,' said the
head of one house, "and that Is th:
rate of proflt the average commission
man figures on making. I don't think
you will And anywhere In South Water
street a house of any Bize at all that
attempts to make nion than 7 to 10
per cent Last month I did a gross
business of $260,000. My dally ex
pense for the month ranged between
1100 and $200 and yet with all this ex
pense and the' big business I did my
net profit was only a fraction over 7
per cent. I give you this simply as
an illustration of the fact that the
commission business as far as the rate
of proflt is concerned is Just about the
same as any other, the only difference
being that 'we probably make our rate
of proflt on a large volume of business
than the average. In this way 7 per
cent to us is probably as good as 20
per cent to the average business."
