Xjjr t ujr i$riqf y "m" Ten thousand dollars are annually leaving La Grande for hot house veg etables and flowers that might as well be" kept at home, according to Mana ger S. M. Slough of the La Gvfind-3 Commercial club. He base3 the esti mate on a careful compilation of 1'g ures obtained from merchants and oth er sources. The sum named is very conservative, the figure actually av eraging more than that. With thes; figures at his command, Mr. Slough has written to various cities where he is advised people are looking for op portunities to invest money and has feet out the conditions as they exist here. While he has not had time to receive r.ny replies, he has hopes of getting in touch with parties who will take the matter up. Along this same line Mr. Slough has written letters to possible investors regarding the establishment of a small sash and door factory here. While In North Powder a few days ago lu learned that a mill there Is sending a large shipment of odds and ends of lumber and edgings to Oshkosh, Wis consin, and that there it. is glued to gether and made into furniture, sash es and doors. With a snmll nuthy the same products could be made iu l Grande where the supply Is more than sufficient and tho territory to distri bute the finished product in could be measured with a 50-mlle radius and then be profitable to all concerned. Pretty much the same thing Is true of the cabbage crop. The heads are sent to California from La Grande and T'nlon county cabbage that ranks with the best and conies back as kraut. The absurdity of the thing Is too big to be argued and a small In-, vestment would handle the output very nicely. With these three Impor'ar.t GliOI'SE MAX COXVICTED. OF RAPE AFTER LON(J TRIAL. (hnrueter of Woman Attacked by lltli. Hour Witnesses. i Enterprise, May 19. (Special) Robert Friedles, a resident of Grouse, North Wallowa county, was convicted j last evening of the crime of rape, the .jury having been cut for a consider ; able lengrh of time. The case was ex trendy hard fought and though the . defense turned In an 11th hour sur prise on' the state, the jury found for the state. The defendant's coun sel brought many witnesses to En terprise from Grouse to attack the character of the woman involved and with no possible chance to put on con tradictory evide.nce because witnesses were 80 miles away, the state depend ed entirely on breaking down evidence iu cross examinations.
