THET ALL TALK ALIKE.
Ea Grande Elka returning from
ffcrtland have nothing but the kindest
at words for the way Portland enter
tained the grand lodge. Not an Elk
or a visitor who was not an Elk can
talk for Are minutes without growing
sathuslastlc over the matter, and all
rejoice In the home pride of having
tie metropolis of Oregon so thorough
ly acquit herself as hostess to the
great gathering from all over the na
tion. Portland has set a pace that will
be hard for other cities to surpass.
Kothlng was apparently left undone to
make It the greatest event of Elkdoui.
Eastern people were surprised and
made happy by the splendid showing
md home people were delighted at
their own efforts.
It could not have been better Judg
ing from the accounts given by the T,a
Orande people who attended.
THE 1IIC ItOI' HEM'S.
Kature has been very kind once
more to the Orande Rondo valley In
providing a bumper crop of almost ov
ary product. It Is a liaolt Dame Na
ture hat), but it should not be over
looked by any means anil taken for
granted that It la a matter of course
Tor oilier serf Ions of (1m country are
net nearly no abundantly blessed, al
though there Is a fair Hhowlug In
many localities.
Our fruit crop Is excellent and our
jraln crop Is among the best. Every
thing that gets money from the ground
in the northwest Is grown here and
hi abundance. It is little wonder that
the Omaha Klks and all other Elks
who stopped long enough to see the
tnlley expressed themselves as anx
ious to return and learn more about
ibis section.
1THAT A FAIR MEANS TO INION
("OUSTY.
One of the best things that this sec.
tlon of the state can have Is a good
talr. Without wishing to detract from
the attractiveness of the lloundtip, for
all like to and attend that event,
ifes fact remains that a good county
talr will survive longer and mean
snore to tMs part of Oregon than will
the Roundup or anything of that na
ture. Union county is starting a talr that
is bound to grow. There are no rea
sons why It should not bo one of the
Wg events of the state and It will be.
At present It Is going through what
eight he termed the nursing period.
The raising of fundi to have the Init
ial entertainment, which means the
raising of sulllclent money to have
proper ground and buildings mint b"
tone. Especially when already near-

should there be little difficulty in. rais
ing the remainder necessary. Two
thlrds of the battle U over. Men
who know what they are doir.g have
given their time In superintending the
work, besides subscribing liberally
for stock. It is therefore Imperative
that the remaining $'..000 to be raised
in order to Insure proper grounds,
buildings and the first fair should be
raised at once so that work already
started may proceed.
Under the present management
huge debts will not be contracted,
neither will work go on without funds
In sight to pay. thus establishing a
floating debt. The proposed fair Is to
be run on strictly business principles,
which Is the only way for it to last
and be made the permanent fair east
of the mountains.
Tonight the stockholders of the as
sociation meet and everyone holding
a share of stock should be present by
all means. It is something that at
this time needs earnest attention and
it Is also something that If pushed
nrooerly now will yield splendid re
sults In the future. Be present at the"
meeting tonight and take part in the
work.
mix BEEF IS HIGH.
Beef haa recently registered the
highest point In a quarter of a cen
tury. The simple reason Is that with
a growing demand for dressed beef,
we are steadily running behind In
live stock, with whlrh Is coupled the
fart that, with corn at about SO
cents a bushel, farmers find It too
oynonslve to fatten cattle for the mar
ket, observes Editor Bowen Of the Ba
ker Democrat. Many of tie rar;s In
the southwest have been MtrnM over
to farming purposes and the farmers
have not adjusted themselves to exten
sive stock raising. e
W. E. Skinner of Denver, president
of the International Live Stock Expo
sition association, points out that the
P..i, lMidle of Texas, whli h u.-ed to
produce from 300.000 to 400,000 calves
a year, has now been turned over to
farmers for the raising of cotton. New
Mevlen has gene to raising citni3 frill'
and Oklahoma Into extensive agricul
ture. Stock on every farm, east as
well as west. Is our only salvation
Stull-fed oittle will be higher than
range rn.'f 1. but we shall at least
then be able to supply our need.
We all suffer from high meat prices

are biggest. By curtailing sales, hU'u
prices curtail the prollts of the pack

crop, decreasing live stock and in
creasing demand are sufficiently re
sponsible for the present era of high
prices. In the nature of th c.me.t

On May lo Portland.
.Fre, Currey, the Hot Lake publicity
m.in and one of the bivt known In his
profession, was a La Grande visitor
l.ist evening wltile on his way to Port
land where be will spend a few days
on business. He said the Like was
filled with guests and that the pros
pects fur the Institution were very
bright Indeed.
Mr. Currey had Intended to locate
in Elgin In the newspaper business
but other tilings presented themselves
before he made the final move and he
will now remain at the Lake Indell
nltely taking cue of the publicity
work.
AVE LOSE TWO (5tM! MEN.
La Grande is about to lose twn nf
;hor useful and energetic cltlrens, Chas.
h. Cnihran, wlio was born In this val
ley, who hopped clods and held plow
1 smiles In early life, will leave to
: .,mo v for Portland where ho entp-s
'he law department of the O. V. It
N. as trial lawyer for the company.
N't. Cochran Is leaving a splendid law
business In La Grande that he has
worked hard to obtain and has held
It through bis ability and unceasing
nrrgy. Today he Is rocognlr.ed as
one of the big lawyers of the state,
else the railroad company would ao
hare selected him for the place U did.
His career Is one that, exemplifies
what a boy can do It he has the will.
Another prominent cltlten who ts
scon to leave La Orande Is Dr. M k
IMtl. who, In the medical profoseh t.,
occupies the same poshiou u do's
y.r. Cochran in the legal profession. ;
Dr. Hall haa been chosen by Ooverno-1
West to superintend the new state ,
hospital for the Insane at Pendleton.
While La Grande people appreciate
feeply this recognition of merit and
worth and congratulate Ooverno-
West on his Judgment, yet there U a
pronounced feeling of rigret that the
dector should locate elsewhere 'h-.c
In this city. 1
Hnwever. life Is one continuous pn
cess of change, and so long as thes
two professional men go to better r i
ward, to wider fields of labor and "
nosltlons that will make of each o.
tl em state characters the Evening Ob
(,rvr and the neople of La Granae
In general accept the change and
wish them the advancement and pro3
terity that we feel Is certain to fol
low. '
BETTER CHANCE HER DRESS.
"The way women of the present day
dress Is responsible for a large part
of the crime throughout the country
and In Chicago In particular."
This statement wm made by Miss
Varv Bartelme, newly appointed as
sociate Judge, and the first woman
Jurist in Illinois.
"We need our old fashioned moth
ers," continued Miss Bartelme. "to
make their daughters dress properly.
The war women dress Is enough to
cause men to Insult them and treat
them with disrespect and finally re
sort to criminal practices. Nowadays
girls apparently dress to display their
physical Instead of maidenly charms
"The savage women who wear
sm-ceiv snvthlng are not nearly so
vulgar as the modern woman who not
only displays all the points of her fig
ure, hut accen'iiates them by artifi
cial means. Poolety women with their
party dresses tMnk the more of them
selves they show the more attractive
Is their costume. High school girls
are Just as bad "

Don't ulame Your
Over Worked Stomach
When vour stomach will not disrest
food, the worst thing you can do is to
;sae i tot of amestive medicines. True.
they give temporary relief, but your
nnmacn Is the sufferor. Loss of ap
petite indigestion, dypepsia and head-
hes cau only be permanently relieved
Dy removing the cause. In many cases,
various remedies taken to relieve these
conditions result in ruining the stomach
and preventng It from digesting food
:n natural way.
If you want your stomach to do its
own work properly, without resorting
to artificial digestives or predigesteu
foods, use Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge
Tske small doses regularly, preferably
before meals. In a little time your
stomach will again do its own work
and you will eat heartily, keep well
snd enjoy living. Jsyue's Tonic verml
uge is not a digester In Itself, but it
tones up the stomach snd Intestines,
giving you all the nutriment and
streugth from the food you eat.
Many forms of supposed Indigestion
are tho result of Intestinal parasites,
for wt.lrh Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge it
unsurpassed. Insist on Jayne's; accept
no other Millions have praised It for
more than eighty yosrs. Bold by drug
ft everywhere. Dr. D. Jayns Son.
