One Hundred and Flftj Dollar Fine
Apiece Is amed by Judge.
: One hundred and fifty dollars fine
apiece was the sentence meted out to
day by Circuit Judge J. W. Knowles
to E. Evans and Glen Smiththe two
men convicted two days ago of killing
a dog belonging to Nate Zweiffel, by
the poisoned meat route. ,
' This sets a new record In tbe war
against dog poisoning. Not only was
the case the first of its kind brought
. tip In circuit court in some time, but
the fine is so heavy that it will evi
dently prove itself a lesson to men
who are Inclined to poison canines.
AVhilj there have been no dog polaou-
ing cases of late, it was only recently
that the practice was so extensive as
to reach to many sections of the city
and substantial rewards were offered
for the captur? of the persons who
did it. - . .'; ..

nan Is to Unite All Towns in Union
and Wallowa Counties. y '
Three automobiles carrying repre
sentative of the. La Grande Commer
cial club pulled into Elgin last even
ing and La Grande men spent several
hours with business men of the neigh
boring city trying to outline a plan ct
community action for putting the
Grande Ronde-Wallowa valleys to 'the
front. . ""
That the meeting was a success then
is not the least doubt, for everyone
was frank in speaking what was In hi
mind and when the La Grande delega
tion left the apple city it is very prob
able that a better understanding of
each "other was enjoyed than at tiny
time for years. i
Elgin is very much alive to the sit
uation. It was plain to every business
man pres:nt that a single city or .com
munity in either of these valleys can-
tiot possibly afford to carry a heavy fi
nancial load, such as is necessary to
do any . extensive advertising and
therefore the Idea of making the two
communities a unit on advertising
matter was favorably received. It
was argued, that if Elgin Intended to
spend a thousand dollars a year in
publicity she could get probably five'
limes tnai amount or advertising by
Joining with the other towns who ex
pected to do as much in proportion.
