Brief Address of George T. Cochran
Points-Oat the Salient Truths.
-Macadam or greatly improved high
ways radiating from La Grande to
the outlying districts, suggested some
time ago ;by George T, Cochran In
an after-dinner speech as1 the actual
, reality for La Grande 10 years hence',
! has been much talked of since the
i memorable banquet given by the Com
mercial club In the Elks' hall. i' Good
; roads matters are this winter holding
j the down stage position, and to' illus
trate how La Grande must look after
j the improvement of highways leading
: to the city in order to keep all phases
of industrial hhd municipal develop
; mont shoulder to shoulder, the Ob
server repeats the brief yet pointed
I addreBs delivered by Water Superln-.
tendent ; George T. : Cochran at the
Commercial club banquet some time
'ago. Mr. Cochran said at that tlihe,
apropos to good roads; -i ,
( To tell, what La Grande needs, let
us look ten years Into the future and
slop off the train at the depot, which
is a large fancy trimmed brick. We
: cannot enumerate all of the changes,
j but we start . up Depot street and
( come to the corner of Adams avenue;,
We look up and down each street and
there, are no- wooden poles: standing
In the -streets.!. The - sides are lined
with cluster lights. We pass down
Adams avenue and see a Y. M.'-C. A.
building covering a piece of ground
110 feet by 120 feet. W also see two i
or three six-story buildings, put ; up .
by the capital, energy and push of
our own citizens. ) At the lower end of

tell! It Is beautifully macadamized
and no mud. ever stays on it. Friends.
If we ever want to cultivate a friend
ly feeling between city and country,
we must have good roads. ; We,. then
will swing to the south, and find that
the-, waters of Grande Ronde river
foave been- conserved;:- that all, the
farms between here' and Cove, have
been broken up into ten acre tracts;
all of them are irrigated in the best
systematic; manner; their production
Is enormous. There are more country
churches and school houses. The
songs and laughter of the people de
light us, For when the valleys laugh
and sing, It Is not. the farmer only,
but' al .creation that rejoices. ;
