If there is any doubt In the minds of La Grande people that this city Is looked upon with great favor over the entire state those who bold such doubt should Journey around and bear the many good things said of their city. In Portland you. cah hear In any liotel lobby the merits of La Grande discussed, and, the same in true all along the ooast. The general pub lic is playing h! city for the perm anent city of Eastern Oregon. They view the pay rolls, the different runn- charactfr have not been wanting, as ior msianoe in Havana, since Febru ary 1, 1910, large consignments are simply stamped with a post mark at the post office, the operation being carried out by machinery. In this way the post office has saved the ex pense for paper and the printing coBt for ten million stamps, while the busi ness world has economized time and money, for affixing stamps to one thousand letters requires about one hour and a half time. "Thia method of treatment, while fairly satisfactory, is still primitive. We can easily imagine a much better system worked out somewhat along; the lints of a gas or water meter, the letter being simply placed in a ma chine and stamped with a post mark which serves at the same time as re ceipt for the postage and as record of the date, etc. , The machine would be inspected periodically by the post office in Just the same manner as the consumer's gas and water meter is inspected, and his bill would be paid ss usual." ., .-. . TMR MOTOR TRITfK IX THE COCJiTlRT. X " ..The Engineering News recently expressed the opinion that one.'. use for the motor truck to which It would be difficult to place a limit Is in direct haulage over considerable distances to save an intermediate railway Jour ney. Direct delivery may be made by the automobile from a city whole saler to .his customers in towns ten twenty, or even forty miles away at less cost, perhaps, than would be ln- Ivoh-cd in the hauling to the railway station and hauling from the railway station to receiver at Jhe other end ing Institutions, the large acreage of , of the route, when the various rehan land under the plow, the close prox-1 lings that are made necessary by the Imity of Wallowa county and their de- j railway shipment are taken into ac cislon is that La Grande has the legs count. The saving in packing alone, to stand upon; that this city is equip- J where this method of delivery is uad, ped for the race of the metropolis of may often make its adoption worth the eastern of the state.

Of the total number of students, 18,414 were in attendance at the regular colleges, 890 at the homeopathic, 433 at the eclectic, and 49 at the physlomedlcal colleges.
