I). 1LENEK KETl-EXS FROM LA GIUSDE. Says lie XotJc Marked Improvement , la Coralnp Eustera Oregon City (Boise Statesman.) Judge J. D. Flenner returned yes terday from filling a Chautauqua date at La Grande, Ore. ' The La Grande papers speak In very complimentary terms of his work as an exponent of liljey, and say he can have a big au dience In that place : whenever he wishes Jo come back. Speaking of his trip. Judge Fleuner said; "La Grande is a lively town. It has a payroll of $150,000 a month. It is building up solidly and splendidly. The city has put In 45 blocks of bitii- lithic this year already, and is putting In more, It Is one of the trimmest towns in the west J came near being president of the old Blue Mountain university away back in !79. I passed thi-oncn wiihl it...' Tji f!r',,, 1877; and camped my first time out of doors on top of the Blue mountains in August of that Jar.It recalled to my mind the lines of Longfellow In 'Evangeline concerning the dorous pines and the hemlock. r ," La Grande was then a llt'.le vil lage, clustering close to the foothills. It had a fine brick school bundling; the barfs of what was called the (Blue Mountain university, a Methodist In stitution. It was founded ,si men aa Wilbur, Hines and Strong, and graduated some very fine ' men among whom was Abraham Eads who was later its president and was later srjill for several terms presiding elder of this district. " I once accepted the presidency of this Institution, but my people at Grangeville would not re lease me. I visited the old tit of th university. It has been torn " down, and the magnificent new high chool building that cost about $100,000, now occupies the . s'ite where it once stood. Abraham Eads died a few years ago, well advanced In years, his wife having preceded him but about three years. . . " ' Women Secure Park. "La Grande hal a park, a fine one, about a mile from town,' where the Chautauqua is being held. That the city has'such a fine park ls owing to (the enterprise and pluck of the wo men of that city, and especially to Mrs. W, H. Bohnenkamp, who has de voted almost 10 years of her life to creating a public sentiment on that Subject and in Interesting the business men in the plan. It' has cost labor and pains, but it is now a credit to the city. It was through the zeal and persevering labor of ' his woman that nearly all the other towns tn that val ley were inspired to build pnd e't aside a park.' It fs now the property of,the city, and a small tax of 1 mill I will keep it up- It is an Ideal place J for the Chautauqua, which1 ndf the; management of Dr. McMUlakB pres ident; John Collier, vice'iiresi4ent; George E. Cochran, secretary j and manager;" William Miller, treasurer; Mrs. J. Van Buren, C. J. Black and Mrs.' C, P. Newlln, is a Splendid suc cess. With the more enthusiastic sup port of the business men of the city and the more thorough organization of the surrounding towns - which is contemplated for next year, the La Grande chautauqna will be one of the very best In the western circuit, Mrs. Van Buren was formerly Miss Sadie Snodgrasfl. (he daughter of one of the most promMnent pioneers of the north west. Her mother and . Mrs. , Frank Coffin" of this city . were ; girlhood friends. , " " "5 "One of the Important assets of La Grande is the family orchestra com posed of the six , members ' of the Young family, of that place.' These six young people are natural: musi cians, but have received careful train ing in Portland and elsewhere. . They were employed by the Chautauqua management to play during the ses sions of the chautauqua, and the high class music rendered by "ihem attract ed the favorable comment of all vis itors. They are so many musical prodigies and are to be heard from In chautauqua circles in the next few years. The oldest, Bertha, plays the violin; Harriet, the Velio; Nell, th horn; Hazel, second violin; Sadie, the I piano, and Fred the clarionet. ThelM I Old Man and Jim,' were handled bj this orchestra and produced a sensa tion. 'While, at La Grande I had the pleasure of meeting I. A. Arbuckle and his excellent family, wife and daugh ter, lie 'Is a brother of our fellow townsman, Charles Arbuckle." SMILE WHEN YOU LOSE. Than Braes Up and Start Right In to Bcom Winner.

In politics. In spprts. in any sphere of competitive endeavor.. Not only that, but nothing is quite um disconcerting to one's oppouent In one of life's contests as the ability to lose with a smile and well directed ef fort to regain the lost. Any man who bns run a foot race or boxed or wres tled or played bull knows that , But nobody has any time for the mnn wbo is forever lamenting hl own loss or defeat The world simply cred Its him wth being what it terms "grouch," which, means a poor loser, and passes him by. for n more agree able man.

An Honor Which Hid Iti Birth In the l Middle Ages. The ceremony of H'txeiitliiir th free dom of the city a mi houui' nnse m the middle age when hik Ii rlhi was not acquired by mere 'domicile. ' No strancer could move into n medieval town nnd go into buainoss. his own gainful occupation or the civic activl ties. First he must become enrolled In the guild of his trade, then he bud to nnderiro an apprenticeship of full seven years before he could be admit- ted to Its livery. Then only and thus only could he nrrlve at the freedom of his ciry As a reward for high deeds these medieval ' city republics ; sometime conferred on such strangers as had Berved them well the freedom of the city by solemn net of the burgesses and llvprios - without the apprentice ship of servitude Every such, re cipient of a city's freedom became nt once a bui'irpss. free to dwell, free to engnge In trade, free to vote for the civic rulers nnd to aspire to the civic chnlr. The key wan the vlslblp sign of this freedom the city gates, closed at sunset against the stranger nnd the foe. opened to the burgess' key nt all bonrs, as the door of his own home.
