Precedent has been estab lished which will require Ingenuity to outdo next time for without a doubt the gathering of gasoline clang at the Hot Lake Sanatorium laBt night would be hard to emulate. 5 . . Unique and Korel ; There was a tone of uniqueness and originality about the Whole procedure tbat,;ma(ia. jhe conclave not only a social function but converted it into a commercial proposition that augeri nothing but- good for the 'welfare of Union county and gave an opportunity to rub shoulders with neighbors as few other good events do. From 7 o"clock last night when the first load of guests left La 'Grande until 8:30 when the banquet began in the Mrs Grace Barrle garage nl the Hot Lake grill room, and from 1;45 until 2.30 this morning dust was kicked up between La Grande and Hot Lake, union and Hot Lake and lnibler and Hot Lake by a string 'if machines which in the morning dark ness lighted up highways at many fu gles and a panoramic view of the val ley about 2 o'clock this morning would ;be Interesting, to say the least.

A few brief speeches climaxed the dinner. Toastmaster Fred J. Holmes uncorked w(t and oratory by calling on Walter M. Pierce under who guid ing hands heads of departments had outlined a campaign of entertainment to visiting guests last night that stands out as remarkable. The ex senator welcomed his , assemled guests In characteristic fashion, taking occasion to remark that he had Bet out to put Hot Lake on the map of the world, and Incidentally daub Grande Ronde valley along with It. The warm friendship existing between the Instl- t tutlon and its sister districts of the 1 vnllov wna otnnhnaWarf Wihlla tha laughing, Joking', well-pleas;d guests already knew they were welcome, tlu manager offered the latch string even with greater emphasis. Some effort to express in words the appreciation of the chug chug men and their guests to the management was made by subsequent post-graudlal or ators but words were found Inadequate and the subject of good roads soon assumed the center of the forum. Dr. M. K. Hall advanced the Idea that Un ion county must go Into debt In some way that It Is up to a Moses to de vise means where by . debt can be ac quiredall for the purpose of better roads. And better roads, In hit opin ion, were roads that were Improved for winter and summer traffic alike. Traversing trunkllne highways, north and south and east and west, built by sections that In the end would give trans-county macadam, was his desire and that adjoining counties should be Induced to connect up these highways the ultimate end would be Caesar like highways of England today, , Mayor A L. Richardson was another epeaker of the evening, talking from the ranka of non-auto fans. He told of some' of the obstacles to be sur mounted In ' the accomplishment ' of better streats. of bis wholehearted backing." of permanent highways and street!.: The vast difference In Booth Ian now at compared with ante mac adam days was pointed but at an ex ample of ,road Improvement.- Tha roayor'a f j words, xtemporaiieoua throughout,' pleased the automobllista. Mr. Richardaon's spoken policy rela tive to improvement of La Grande streets, prompted the tenor of tha next," speaker's theme, for City Attor ney C. E. Cochran who followed, took occasion to further enlighten the auJ- ienee on the council and mayor policy qf good streets. Toastmaster Holmes supplemented Mayor Richardson's ad dress with the wish that those who criticised the mayor and council at the reoent banquet at La Grande could have heard the speaker's earnest plea (or better roads t Attorney , Cochran, next called, told of the eccentricities that crop out in the campaign for bet ter streets and were elaborated on and Mr. Cochran was emphatic in his es pouBal of the council's cause, Affirm ing that the council was invariable guided by the taxpayers' . voice, but once determining : that a majority on any street wanted ' pavement in . La Grande, worked honestly and inces- j santly to accomplish that end and the , miles of pavement In La Grande atands 'as a testimonial to ' that effect, Mr. Cochran refuted the statement that I La Grande's Btreets were faulty In places because of councilmanlc negll jgence that taxpayers had but to sig nal the procedure of more paving. : Through all the toasts there was a tone that bespeaks cooperation with the authorities in reaching an ultimate condition In this vallty where the beBt 'highways in the state will be a real ized fact. With dancing and music to climax the event, the guests from nearly all sections of the valley .finally got under way, home ind ilot, Lake's Ironclad rule; of cessation of social .festivities at 10 o'clock was ruthlessly' broken at ;the order of the manager, for tha in stitution was a blaze of light and a carnival of merriment as late as 1:00 o'clock. .
