Don't give up to it. Don't let it hang on; Don't over-look Foley Kidney Pills. They are a natural enemy to the conditions that cause rheumatism, which they will promptly remove. Hill's Drug Store. Adv. E ROHDE PEN PICTURE COMMERCIAL CLUB SECRETARY IS AUTHOR. Hani iman Magazine Carries Descrip tive Article of Valley. (By C M. Humphreys, Secretary La Grande Commercial club, in Har- riman magazine.) Let us enter tit) Grande Ronde val ley practically along the same route that John Jacob Astor's, party entered more than a hundred years ago. While they traveled under the most adverse circumstances', we can travel with a degree of comfort unsurpassed. Ctoming from the east by the line of the Oregon-Washington Railroad & .Navigation company, one gets the first view of this wonderful valley on rounding a point of the mountain in Pyle's canyon, between Telocaset and Union Junction, about fifteen miles east of La Grande. Near this poinl there is now located a passing track named in honor of C. T. Bacon, who is at present, and has been for many years, a phvsician for the O.-W. com pany at La Grande. , ' As the trains round the point,, the traveler looks to the- northward and beholds a scene that has but very few rivals in' the whole world. I can-, not attempt a description, but suffice1 it to say that when once seen will never be forgotten. Stretching away to the nortli for- 35 miles lies the Grande Ronde valley, one of the most fertile spots' in the northwest. Like a checkerboard; tne rarms extend as far as the eye can reach, and forest covered hills come down and hem in the valley, which some one has truly said, "is a walled garden of Eden. Nearly two hundred feet below us and a mile away is the town of Union, a hustling little city of some 2000 peo--pie. It is an ideal home town, where giant old trees spread their arching branches across well-kept lawns, and Catherine creek pours an ice-cold stream from the everlasting snows of Eagle mountain, right through the heart of the town. At Union is lo cated the Eastern Oregon branch o. the state agricultural experiment sta tion, an institution that furnishes val uable information to the fruit growers st xk raisers and farmers, in fact, ev eryone that has to do with tilling the soil. The Grand Ronde valley comprises some 400 square ' miles of territory and with an annual rainfall of about 21 inches, almost any product of the temperate zone can be successfully and profitably grown. Coming on westward, we soon reach Union Junction, where a connection is made with the Central Railro o Oregon, a small steam line that runs to the towns of Union and Cove. We have 'now reached the level of the valley and about three miles fro Union Junction we come to Hot Lake a health resor.t of more than local I fame. This institution has recently been taken under the control of the. iJ.-W. K. fi N. company and is attract ing attention from all the northwest on account of the wonderful cures made by its healing waters. A large spring pours out of the earth at a' temperature of 190 degrees F. and besides being used for bathing pur poses, is utilized in the heating of the; immense hotel and hospital maintained here. The overflow forms a lake- s?v-; eral acres in extent. i Coming on .westward, we soon reach La Grande, the metropolis of East ern Oregon, both in population and business. She is the second payroll jity in the state, the railroad, lumber and various other resources ably as sisting in maintaining this record. The O.-W. R. & N. .has its shops for the Eastern Division here; these give em ployment to several hundred men. The freight division for this territory i also located here and a large. num ber of - engine and train crews make the city ;ir home. La Grande is also the junction point for the Joseph branch of the O.-W.. which serves the northern Dart of Union county and the whole of Wallowa county, extend- nig 84 miles, to Joseph, Ore. Elgin, in Union county, and Wal lowa, Lostine, Enterprise and Joseph in Wallowa county, are prosperous towns located along the line of rail road above referred t. Near Joseph narpd in honor of the Nez Perce chief, is Wallowa lake, a summer resort of no mean pretensions. La Grande has a conservatively esti mated population of 7000 and within a radius of three miles from the post- office no less than 10,000 people have their homes. La Grande maintains a municipal water system, securing a bcuntcous supply of pure water from Beaver creek, 18 miles back in the mountains. The improvements which the city has, made in the last few years are completely modern in every respect. Nearly ten miles of hard-surface pavement grace her streets; the sidewalks are of concrete; her sewer system has been pronounced one of the most sanitary in the west by the state board of health; a telegraph fire alarm system, paid fire depart ment and an auto chemical truck are also included in her up to date civic equipment. Of course, there are the usual modern conveniences, such as telephone and electric light and power. Her school facilities are the best; the public schools boast of a very modern I and complete high school building and , four trade school buildings. ;The! Catholic church also maintains the St. ' Francis academy, which institution an-1 nually sends out a large number of well equipped graduates. ' In May of this year over $41,000 was subscribed in eight days for the erec tion of a Y. M. C. A. building, on which work will be commenced at an early do. Several new and large church buildings are being erected and a city library will be built this fall at a cost of . $12,000. Enterprises of various ikinds are being pushed forward with an energy that can only result in success. The George Palmer Lumber com' pany operates a large saw mill and lumber business at this place as does also the Grande Ronde Lumber com pany, whose mill is located three miles west of the city. The Masters-Ewoldt Lumber company is another concern that has its headquarters in the city and furnishes employment to many men. The Mt Emily Timber com pany has also decided on La Grande for their permanent location and in the near future will commence the erection and operation of a large lum ber plant. There are other enterpris es, too numerous to mention in an article of this kind, which must neces sarily be brief. , It has been said quite truthfully that "success is yours, in the Grande' Ronde valley" if you desire to make it so. We do not know what it is to boom, nor do we wish to find out. No in flation of land values has ever been known here and he who w,ould work can make a success in the valley. The Commercial club has an ele gant home on the fifth floor of the new Folev building and visitors are al ways welcome. A number of rail licu men already hold membership in the institution and there is room for many more. " A Scientific Achievement.

(Special) "My shoulders are broad enough to take all the blows aimed at me by the city council," said. Dr. B. L. Steeves, mayor of Salem, today. "They struc'i at Councilman Rigdon and thought they would hit me. I was missed en tirely and only an innocent man was hurt;' Mayor Steeves and members of the council have been out of harmony for months. When he announced recently that he would take a vacation trip he appointed Councilman Rigdon Acting Mayor. Another councilman was elect-j ed by the board to preside over its meetings, after Mayor Steeves left the city. That angered Councilman Rig-1 don, who created a scene at the meet-j ing by declaring he had been "struck from behind" and would leave the chamber, not to return until the coun- cil apologized to him. He left, and as soon as Mayor Steeves learned of the situation he returned post haste to the city. Fire Threatens Wheat. What threatened for a time to b one of the most disastrous stubble fire of the season occurred Friday after noon on the Willis Reser farm south of town, when sparks from a tractior engine ignited the dry strw in the field that had just been threshed. For three hours the crew fought the flames plowing large strips around the pilet of wheat sacks, .and finally the spread of the fire was chcckejl, though not un til it had burned within a few feet of one of the larcest piles of threshec grain.
