PAT FOLEY VISITS OLD FRIENDS
IS HARNEY COUNTY.
Make Automobile Trip of Fifteen Haa
dred allies.
Returning from a 1,500 mile trip
Into Harney and Laka counties Pat
Foley, proprietor of the Foley hotel,
Is looking like a product of the sun
iind wind but feeling very fine. ' He
left here gome days ago In his machine
to visit the interior country where he
formerly worked before taking the
management of the hottl In this city.
While on the trip Pat attended the.
great celebration at Davis creak when
the first train pulltd Into that country
over the railroad extension from Cal
ifornia which has Just been complet
ed. At the "00" ranch where Pat used
to work the boys had a barbecue In
commemoration of hia.vlBlt and then
"It was one of those good old times,"
said Pat, "which causes a fellow to
realize life is worth living. The boys
over in Harney county are among the
best in the world and tb3lr friendship
Is genuine.' ,
As a'tr'ophy of the trip several snake
klna and a live badger were brought
back to La Grande. -
REFERENCE TABLE READY

City Record is Office Protlded With

; 'A material ; saving In ticie .and

through the compila'lon of a table of
graduated totals for every conoeiva

they can turn to It and find the cost
for an unit of wat3r for any one month
and at a moment's notice, too. Previ
ously the water collection department
has been forced to compute each sep
arate Itsm through a long and tedious,
formula but that has been alleviated.
Hereafter the readings of the first o
th month and the last of the month
are subtracted to' determine the
amount of water consumed. If it is
600 gallons the clerk runs down the
column to 500 gallons and there -he
will find what t'.te costs to tfoa consum
er is. The table will save many Ions
hours of arduous, work, each month
and Is exactly accurate. Adding the
total gallons and total sums of each
separate Item, It is found that the
variation between the minimum cpn
sumption for a month and 100,000 gat
Ions is but a small fraction of a cent,
