If asked what keeps up La Grande, most people would respond that La Grande is the payroll city and it is due to such payrolls that La Grande enjoys such a steady business and healthy growth.

It is clearly nothing but its location, that is, its surrounding ter ritory. The utility of any thing is judged entirely by its relations to other things. If it were not for the tributary country, the transportation advantages, the natural resources, etc., any city, no matter 'how well constructed, could not last any time at all. . , ' ' ' Now, if a city's worth is estimated by its relation to other things . we should determine what are 'our rela tions with the rest of the world. It is from this point of view that one can understand the advantages of La Grande and can better appreciate the value of our great diversified country. T 'Take down a map of Eastern Ore gon and study it for a while. Geographically'-coisidered La Grand is in tye very center of that vast terri tory Likewise, La Grande is in the center of populatieajof Eastern Ore gon, y Also it is just the, right dis tance from Portland to possess the great advantage of being a railroad division point. . From La Grande a water grade has been built into the great Wallowa county, thereby making it the outlet of that great producing section. Oth er railroads are being planned for Eastern Oregon and these, most of them, center iri this city. New peo ple, new enterprises, new institutions already promised to La Grande indi cate that this city will soon take a distinctive lead as the metropolis of all Eastern Oregon. . But let us not forget theifarmer and stockmen, and their products, which are' really the maintaining .factors in the: develop ment of any country. Our hills are covered with $mber Weathe THE WARDROBE PHONE M 64 and filled with minerals. Our valleys produce all the crocs of the temper ate zone, our ranges, and meadows raise the choicest of - cattle and horses. Thin Eastern Oretron is - a large country and there is plenty of room for many more people than we have." All of the little towns and cities will enjoy a good growth for many years, our large farms will be subdivided, and our farming will be come intensified as well as diversified. La Grande must learn to appreci ate the value of this surrounding ter ritory, especially Union and Wallowa counties. It is our lumbermen, our miners, our stockmen, and our farm ers thSt are the real producers. It is these together with the manufac tures that bring wealth among us. It is these who make the payrolls a pos sible source of income. . v ' : Surely the day is past when La Grande is Jealous of other communi ties. There Is no benefit possible to, any section of Eastern Oregon that will notr benefit La Grande. The citi Union. North Powder, Cove, the Wallowa", towns, etq'., and m -II !-LL. 0 T. tne larmers are an nenjuuuia Grande. La Grande is a great ad vantage to them, nd they are a great help to La Grande.
