Is; their first few da'3 of work the
Wallowa girls make such good show-'infj-
in subscriptions that there, is
. prospect that they "will become form
idable competitors for -the three San
Francisco trips as well as for the two
extra 'Portland companion trips. .
:; The extra epmpanien trips give" the
two winners opportunity to capture
two sort3 or prizes in this contest. The
winners of the companion trips may
take the companion trips themselves
and then in the final call for prizes
may make selections from the scholar
ships in music or in colleges offered.
This provision enables a candidate to
. s cure, through this contest, both a
fine summer trip and-special and ex
pensive Instruction during the com
ing winter. : ('.'
When was bette'r opportunity given
to ambitious and -self reliant young
ladies? Never.
The -prizes are so generous and de
sirable that other new candidates may
and should come forward. The Wal
lowa girls bravely come into the con
test at thlslme. There should be
, Tl AW volunteers in La Grande.
Thousand bf votes have been going
to waste in La-Grande, neither gath
ered by La Grande nor by the Union
county candidates. Surely there are
girls in La Grande that want Yine
orlzes. Certainly there are girls in
this city who would like the distinc
tion of traveling as the quests of a
newspaper. -Are they 'so engaged
with school, society and other duties
.' that they cannot gather the votes nec
, essary to earn places in the excursion?
... The girls of other parts of Union
1 county and of Wallowa county are
gathering more votes than are the
girla of La Grande. But the coming
two weeks may produce . surprises.
The La Grande girls may get into ac

1 Act on Wool at Once. . ..
. Following a stormy caucuB of the
members of the house from New York
this afternoon by a vote of 14 to 4 lu
favor of wool on the free list immedi
ately, it was deplar-d this afternoon
that the free raw we?l would,be fram
ed by the ways and means, committee
and submitted to the house caucus.' All
It is said will abide by the f.aueu.
Such action by the government has
been believed probable by local politl- ,
clans and Postmaster Rlchey though
nothing definite had been announced
until ' today. Postmaster Rlchey had
not been Informed of the step taken at
Washington, this afternoon and knew,
nothing except that he had filled out
blanks sometime apo that led him to
believe such a move was on foot. A
local bank also received information
to that effect this morning.
Aside from the fact that the govern
ment pays interest pOatlngs depooi
at jthe rate of z per cent, ana that tne
local postmaster acts as receiving "tel
ler," little is known of the working
principles of the institutions establish
ed by congress at a recent session.
One or two such banks have been in
operation in Oregon for the past year.
Mt is believed It will require from 60
to 90 days to put the bank in opera
tion but It is more generally conceded
that the bank will not become opera
tive here until, the new building is
built and equipped. . This Is mere con
jecture, however. '

The Pete Bclver car, driven by Mrs.
Beiver, struck a slippery grade as the
party was coming to La Grande from a
visit with friends near Cove, and but
for the fact that Mrs. Beiver was pick

with much care, serious results would
have occurred. As it was, Mrs. Bsesie

will not be serious In any way.
The car tipped quickly, going over
on. its side, but did not turn turtle. A
phase of the incident that alarmed Mrs.

the engine after the car tipped, but
that difficulty was overcome and the
party was brought to La Grande by a
machine sent to the rescue.
