PROSPERITY IS IA GRAXDE.
; While other communities are com
plaining of dull times commercially
this city has ro-st no. such experience
and apparently there is no reason for
meeting It. La Grande la. In splendid

' pany started ": ltg'7 new ' shift .recently
which means an Increased pay roll.
The O.-W. R. & 'ft. -company Is putting
men to work every 'day and freight Is
moving very nicely. The shops are
husy' all of the tira:. . Public work
continues In La Grande andjtbe dif-,
ferent construction companies are pay.
Jng out large sums weekly. ' In fact,
La Grande Is all right. . She is look
ing good, and with the building that Is
going on there is no reason to feel any
other way but jubilant. - .. ."s.
Don't get the habit of croaking. It
Is worse than the Itch and it spreads
very much like the Itch. Wo recall a
story told by Casey of the Golden Rulj
company about a traveling man whom
he us-ed to know when Casey himself
was a knight' of the crip. That parti
cular traveling man was on a flat sal-
lary year In and year out When the
hard times of 1893 spread over the
country he drew the" same salary he
did when commodities were high, yet
he was always croaking about . hard
times. It was a habit, and one ot the
worst on earth. ,
Better than growling regardless of
what happens Is to take up the cam
paign of urging Grande Ronde money
to stay at home, for If such a thing
could be accomplished this communi
ty would 'never, no, never, be affected
in the least . by general depression.
These is enough produced here to
keep money plentiful all of the time
for years to come If people would but
keep thtlr money here. :

WHAT UNIONS STOCK ' SHOW
..:,::r.-- MEAN'S.
There may be V wrong Idea in the
minds of many regarding the Btock
show to be held at 'Union on June 1,
2 and 3. The main feature of this show
is not wholly to get a crowd into Un
ion, but It Is to exhibit the good stock
of this valley and promote a campaign
of education that will 'eventually ralsa
! the standard of live stock.
.'Later Union will be looked upon
for live stock information in Eastern
Cretrrri i0 Vi wvoenn v1v I
jued; And that it ? will be continued
i goeB without saying, for when approx
j imately 40 business men and ranchers
(will leave their work and ride one
j hundred miles on hors'.back to adver
irlse such an even, .the future of the
enterprise' Is assured.. i'.V. '.
This year Judge W. L. Carlrle has
;b:en secured.to Judge the stock. He
' conies from Moscow, Idaho, and is
J probably the best rated live . stock
j Judge in' the Unltsd States,, As evi-,
jdence of this fact he ha? for 12 years
judged th; International Stock show
( at Chicago, twice has he acted In tho
same capacity, at Madison Square,., in
New York city, and once he was called
, to London to pass judgment on horses.
What Judge Carlyle t;lls the, people
of the Grande Ronde valley about hors
es can be reasonably taken as authen
tic, and his advice .as to breeding will
be of great importance.
Therefore the Union Stock show
takes the place of a school of instruc
tion as well as a gala day for that city
and a place for all peoph of the valley
to,meet and enjoy themselves.
THE AJL'TO AM) BETTER ROADS.
on
Last evening about 60 automobile
owners dined at th? Foley and talked
good roads, as well as permanent or
ganization of an automobile club. This
has a bearing on the highways of the
Grande Ronde valley that is very im
portant. The automobile has come to
stay and Is a part of the valley. That
we have needed better roads there Is
no question. The rancher needs -them
to reduce the expense of marketing
his products, the lumber men need
them to htlp them commercially and
the automobile driver needs them to
assist his progress.
: Xow, with a combined effort of the
farmers and others who own machines
It can be expected that some action
.will be taken to improve the roads to
a greater extent than the county court

tion designating June 14 as "Flag
Day .r. Congress on June 14, 1777, en
aced: "That the flag of the 13 United
States be 13 Btripes, alternate red and
white; that' the union be 13 stars,
white In a blue flUd, representing a
new constellation." The ' number of
the stripes having been Increased by
the admission of new states, th possi
bilities of the nation's future develop
ment dawned upon our fathers and the
original 13 stripes were unchangeably
restored by act of congress on April
4, 1818,"" when it was. enacted "That
from and after the fourth day of July
.next, the flag of the United Stat: s ba
13 horizontal stripes alternate red and
White; that the union ' be 20 stars,
white, in a blue field and that on the
