Cities and towns many claim Everything and anything, but when r-oWact way select a locality. ;for ljeadquarters from which their men are to work It tells the story of a central point'' Other sections fEastern Ore gon are easiest reached from La Grande else these concerns would lo cate In Baker or Pendleton. But they are coming here because La Grands is Jhe center, because La. Grande is build ing rapidly, because municipal, Im provements go constantly, pn, because the large pay rolls Insure success lo cally and because a growlrig buslne always seeks a growing town in which to locate, f ', The great Wallowa county is tribu tary to this city, likewise is Bakor county and the vast interior includ ing Harney and Grant counties. The Pine and Eagle valley country is not bo hard to reach from this city and all territory from here to Pendleton is best served by this city. In the fu ture it Is reasonable to expect more and more industries In La Grande that market their products In a wide area of country. In fact pay rolls attract each other. Take the down eist cit ies where there are factories. Other factories start in business at tna same point on account of lav,or already be ing on the ground. The same will be true of the west and La Grande, al ready possessing the largest pay rol's In Oregon outside of Portland f ad Ore gon City, will get most of the enter prises that wish to locate inland. Last evening representatives of the La GrandeCommercial club went, to Union and talked a general publicity movement for Union and Wallowa counties. They were met with the us ual hospitality for which Union Is just ly noted and after the plan was ex plained there was a united feeling that it would be a success. Elgin and Un ion each favor the plan, and now the other localities wijl be called upon fo their opinions of the matter. In th course of a short time Wallowa coun ty will be visited and It can reasonj ably : be expected ! that good result will follow the 'work being done b THEATRE "Sa"tan Defeated".. Path."

'No one with good Judgment will attempt to even suggest that labor as an or ganization was behind such a crime. If wild eyed individuals chose to be criminals 'and commit such : atrocities labor as a body is not to blame. But labor as a body must not defend the man who is found guilty If anyone is ever so found. - . Considerable preparation is now un der way for the second annua!

Cashier HrHiHiiitnntt limit ihhh mi milium conditions or in a careless manner there is generally a deterioration in both the quality and condition of the grain, which reduces its market value," the report relates. "In order to make this grain thus damage appear sound, healthy and bright and also to remove the objectionable odors which are us ually present such grain is often arti ficially bleached." The conclusions of the report were these: ' "Oats and bar ley of Inferior quality and condition may be made to resemble that of a bet ter quality by bleaching. A profit is derived not only from changing the appearance of the grain but also by in creasing the original weight by the ad dition of moisture. Because of the fun gi being partially destroyed by the bleaching it is probable that bleached oats will carry a higher moisture con tent than unbleached oats with . less danger of deterioration. The vitality of oats and barley is impaired by the bleaching and a heavy bleaching Is es pecially harmful. Preliminary feed ing experiments with both bleached and natural oats showed that horses ate one as readily as the other." 'o(Ice to Contractors.
