rreniliim Axter
Too bad there is to be no aster show
this fall. There are aouie beds of ex
quisite beauty In town and they have
already begun to bloom. The first we
have seen are at the court-house. Mr.
Batchelor keeps things in fine shape
there, a credit to the city. Mr. Sam
Deal has the largest display already iu
bud, some in bloom, and In a few days
they will be In perfection.
oooo
The Progressives
There is prejudice in a name. The
new political party Just launched by
the second Chicago convention Is a
name to conjure by, "The Progress
ive;." The platform Is of the sort that
pluses Americans because It is radi
cal and lilt s at the root of what they
beieve to be evil. Democrats, Re
publicans and Socialists who are dis
affected and displeased with the poli
tico of the "machine can take refuge
and find solace under the aegis of the
new proiiunciamento.

Roosevelt-Johnson
This Is the head of the new. ticket
which is coming before the voters of
the land for their endorsement. Some
are laughing, but they look pale Im
mediately afterward. A throb of fear
lias already pulsated among the fol
lowers of the banners of the other
parties.

West, the Reformer
Will Governor West stop when his
Huntington campaign against vice and
non-enforcement of the laws Is over?
Do all the mayors of our cities enforce
the laws according to their oaths? In
some places they do not, for they say
"We regard public custom as higher
than our sworn obligation."

Life's Humor
Just a very short time since one of
our best business men bad his new
machine out in the Ladd Canyon reg
ion. Returning without a load, he
was out strictly on a business trip
with another man, a lady was seen go
ing a-foot to La Grande. Now none
of the many happy-minded men of our
city aro more gallant In their atten
tions to the fairer sex than Is Mr Busi
ness Man. She was too large to walk
far and be Instinctively knew It; so
did she. Site wanted to ride and he
wanted her to do so. When fairly
seated the machine began to sing a
song ot high speed; she said "My, but
this goes, don't it!" The chauffeur
owner said nothing and only speeded
up a little. She was by this time cling
ing to the back of the seat In front of
her, and whispering, "My, I never rode
In one of these things before." Oc
casionally there was an unexpected
bump In the road and she had an un
expected contact with the seat she did
not know she had left till she found it
on returning." Whew!" said the pass
enger. Mr. Chauffeur-Business Man
only grinned and looked at the gentle
man on the seat with him with a'
twinkle In the tall of his eye. At
Grange Hall and elsewhere they
turned corners that almost "missed
the plate." and otherwise contributed
to the entertainment of the lady by
giving her the ride of her life. A
couplo of miles out from town they
stopped for something and the female
passenger never with a word of
thanks, nor even looking back, slipped
out of that machine nnd the way she
"heat It to town" was a caution to
snakes. The "ornrey" couple of men
did not overtake her either. One of
the men had a name that sounded like
"Joker", but not exactly. The other
was a minister.

M'beatley's on Way Homo.
Word was received yesterday from
Scott A. Wheatley and his sister Ja
nette who have ben spending several
months visiting various points In the
nitddlewest that they were on thelt
way home. Scott wrote on August Gth
as follows:
"Leave Richmond today. After
spending a few days In Cleveland we
will head for Texas, spend a few day
In California, take In Portland, and
then for La Grande. Have been aav
Ing a fine trip so far."
$50.00 takes neat, clean, complete out
fit for three housekeeping rooms. In
cluding almost new Axminster rug,
good bed, springs, mattress, stove,
dishes, etc. Good clean house for
rent $8.00. 2017 Washington, v

Choice Farms
And Ranches
SMALL FARMS.
Several email farms, 80 acres,
60 acres, 40 acres, near La
Grande, well Improved. Priced
right and on most of them lib
eral terms can be obtained.
FRUIT FAE3IS.
I have several choice ten
acres or larger fruit farms in
this vicinity. The trees are
loaded with fruit. Tou can go
out and count the boxes of com
mercial apples that each place
will produce. In some Instanc
es this season's crop will pay
for nearly one-half of the pur
chase price.
SmrRDAX HOMES.
I have a number of pretty
near-ln homes that are priced
right In fact, are real Invest
ments. La Grande Is growing.
These email tracts are increas
ing la value much faster than
yon possibly realise.
Stock Ranches
With the cheap range rapidly becoming a
thing of the past never will be see cheap cat
tle again in the Unitevd States. Our popula
tion is increasing much faster than beef can
be grown. I have several opportunities that
that just a few years hence will be looked
upon as wonders. I have three of the best
stock ranges in Union county. If you are a
cattleman and live in the county you will
know them well. Come and let me tell you
' where they are. Very little cash required,
put the balance of your money in stock. The
increase of a calf to a beef steer on such
ranges as I offer you will make common le
gal interest look anything but tempting.
