Grande today with the Knights of
Columbus. He is one of the good fel
lows in this world and Is a stayer As
evidence of the latter statement one
has but to review the history of the
White Swan mine east of Baker. Cul
len was there when It was a great
producer. When te mine become en
tangled in litlgatldn and all deserted
Cullen stuck tight. For years be pin
ned his faith to the '-mining distrct
when things looked dark and dreary.
Then the light 'began to shine and It
was through his efforts. New people
became ' interested - because George
Cullen told them the property was
eood. He set about to Drove his state-
is I ment and today he is the happiest
! i r - , j
' uiuu in. urtguu Because ue aum inane
good. ' His company Is owner of a
1 ledge of free gold ore that has the Ne
vada appearance ; It , makes . the hand
I tremble when holding a specimen it
I is so rich and the ledge is uncovered
to the extent that values are certain.
And, these are the reasons why we
say George Cullen is a stayer; he is a
man among men, and when nearly all
mining credit was exhausted In Baker
City George Cullen was good at any
establishment. He played the- game
fairly and we hope the White Swan
will maka. him a million dollars.
. .
Some one had better throw 'the
switch and let this winter weather go
in the pocket. It is behind time and
has lost its right of way. ,
A GROWING ORDER.
La Grande is to have a council of
the Knights of Columbus. This will
be brought about tomorrow when a
large delegation from Eastern Oregon
will be here to Install such an order.
While th Knights of Columbus make
little display of their growth it is
nevertheless a fact that the organiza
tion Is enjoying one or tn most rapiu
advances known to any secret body.
Where a few years ago long distances
between lodges marked .the pathway
of the Journeyer now the knight who
is traveling may find local orders of
hiB kind In nearly every city of any
size. .
This city Is -very much pleased to
have the Knights organize her;, and
tomorrow the entire community will
xtend the cordial greeting to the vis
iting members proving to them that
La Grande as a community Is glad to
have them with us.

LA GRASDE'8 CHAUTAUQUA.
The action of the directors of the
Grande Ronde, chautauqua in abandon
ing the session for the present season
is a most regrettable one, but under
the circumstances (here seems to be
no oilier cuui h if it miiku iu iuew
I it possible that this city with over
Ave thousand Inhabitants, and the val
ley with more than that many more,
cannot support a chautauqua without
the directors going out upon a housa
to house canvass for the wherewith-
all to run the affairs of the assoela
tion? The,, directors think that it is
entirely possible to run the chautau
qua in the same manner as those of
other cities of the state, and thfey pro
pose that If the matter is not to be al
lowed to drop, that better support will
have to be manifested than has hith
erto been shown. The directors are
practically all men of affairs and pro
fessional men, and they feel and right
ly, that their duty, as directors, does
not consist in humbly going from
store to store and begging the good
people of the city for what should ba
voluntarily subscribed. In the first
place there is entirely too much of this
canvassing done, In the second place
the chautauqua Is a most worthy in
stitution, and one concerning which
there should be, "neither question nor
quibble. There is one thing right sure,
it thi citizens of La Grande want a
chautauqua while it Is right here they
will have to get up and do a consider
able amount of tiuscling.HSecauso the
next one will not come to them as
t..sy m th's one vill get away.
T.;re are In the state of Oregon
"five chautauqua associations. Ashland
nd Oregon City will this year hold
'.their 18th eunusl session. Albany will
hold its second, Roseburg will hold
.its first, and La Grande will go bump
on the second, because the people
hav shown such little Interest that at
the present time less than one hun
dred tickets have been sold and these
by house' to house canvass, and many
of them, had to be fairly coaxed from
the subscribers.
' Is the chautauqua better supported
In the other cities than here in La
, Grande? Yea, verily, and If you think
' that either Oregon City or ABhland
, would think for one minute of giving
up their annual cLrutauqua, why, you
(had better thln r.jcaln. Ashland, with
la successful chau.aunua IS years old
is about tlvi'mme size as La Grande.
The !!(( trrs of this chautauqua sent
G. P. 'lUllings, their secretary, with
carte I unclie to spend all the money
h:
i.:vam a success. At the session held
in Portland last September, and which
