Elgin to Celebrate. (Elgin Recorder.) . All roads do not lead to Elgin but there will be a lot of people headed Elginward on the morning of July 4th, 1913, on which day Elgin citi zens will celobrate in pure demo cratic style and entertain several hundred neighbors from various towns of Union and Wallowa coun ties. The matter of holding a grand celebration camo to a climax Monday evening, when the members of the Commercial club decided unanimous ly to observe the anniversary of our national day and entertain our friends and neighbors in a manner befitting the occasion. A rousing mass meeting has been called for next Monday evening in the city hall opera house and it is predicted that the most enthusiastic meeting in the history of the town will be the result. At the coming meeting a general committee ami various sub-committees will bo appointed and the foun dation laid for one of the biggest and best demonstrations ever wit nessed in this part of the state. But few of the details were dis cussed at the commercial club meet ing Monday evening, but one fact of note was brought up and that was the matter of graft. Elgin will not induce people to some here with the expectation of making a bunch of money. It is expected to raise ?S00 or $1000 for entertainment and r-nr.es, and that amount will be suf ficient to give all a good time and make the event one never to be for gotten. Conditions were never more fav orable for a rousing patriotic event than at the present time. Aerial as censions, baseball games, horse races, foot races, band concerts, patriotic drills, well trained choruses and able addresses will be obtained with ease this year and the people who visit Elgin on that date are assured of an excellent time. Special care will be taken to pro vide plenty of shade, rest rooms and other comforts for visitors. A spec ial committee will be provided to se cure rooms for those coming' from a distance and camp grounds will be arranged for those who wish to camp. Health a Factor in Success. The largest factor contributing to a man's success is undoubtedly health. It has been observed that. a man-is seldom sick when his bowels are reg ular he is never well when they are constipated. For constipation you will find nothing quite so good as Chamberlain's Tablets. 'they not only move the bowels but improve the ap- petitie and strengthen the digestion. They are for sale by all dealers. WISCONSIN MAN LIKES CITY. J. E. Kaye Says It Is Hard to Find a Better Place. "My short stay here convinces me this is the best town in the north west." remarked J. E. Kaye, mana ger of the Al. Andrews tailoring de partment today. "I have been over a good deal of the northwest country since leaving Wisconsin and I have o place that has the future be fore it La Grande seems to have," continued Mr. Kaye. He has lately been employed by Mr. Andrews as the head of the tail oring department and comes to La Grande with highest recommenda tions. .Having resided at Green Bay, Wisconsin, for many years where he followed tailoring Mr. Kaye is at the top of his chosen' line. Some of the Wisconsin colony in La -Grande knew him well back in the old state and they speak very highly of his abil ity as well as of his citizenship. It is Mr. Kaye's intention to buy a home in La Grande and become a permanent resident. - , mieiicn. one Cyrus Noble -ban. win your JLTB ; thirst on ioe Hottesi pure mature L bottled at drinking strength W.
