To have seen the expression on the
expression on the face of Joe Wood
and his party of chivalrous1 compan
ions last evening as the coach and
four pulled Into La Grande from the
Grande Rond lakes, was but to un
derstand that a wilderness had been
Invaded, that deer had been startled
at the' sound of the rifle or the popping
of a soda bottle cork; that trout In the
lakes "had been given a surprise and
that several business men of La
Grande had for a number of days
breathed the fresh ozone of th moun
tains and partaken of 'health-giving
food prepared by thelrtown hands.
Every member of the party carried
T j that satisfied look which rugged na
ture aionei can implant upon the brow
of humanity. Every member had con
cealed In a corner of mind a good
story to tell on the party; perhaps, a
true one, perhaps, only Imaginary.
Rusticating in the mountains Is one
of the finest thlnga known to the hu
man race. It takes away the crust
formed by continued business activity,
breaka down the little animosities held
for fellow men, If such xlst, brlghtena
the pathway and removes what some
rail age.
The week opened with a slightly eas
ier feeling In the wheat market, with
values about a cent under those quoted
at the close of laBt week. Holders in
the country still maintain a bullish at
titude, on the strength of the general
meagerness of the supply, but buyers
today seemed to be a little less willing
to take hold at the high prices recently
quoted. Outside ot the requirements
of coast milkrs there is no demand,
and the wants of millmen are limited.
