Yesterday afternoon the fair gates swung wide and the crowd from Un ion lend the' way to the erounds. fol lowed by many La Granders who want ed to go rain or shine and help keep up the sunshine spirit. The Unjon bunch was "sure alive to things" and kept bells ringing and its laughter echoed over the hall mingled with the strains of band music. The carnival band was on the scene and lent every effort toward a good time by playing some of the most lively of popular ragtime pieces and also some excellent selections from the master composers. After a goodly number had arirved and the hall had been fully inspected the crowd adjourned to the grand stand, where a few races were put on to the pleasure of those attending. To sit close to the track and watch the drivers eat mud, was one of the fun niest happenings of the day. The horses showed their true colors as "mud horses" when they waded around the track for pretty good time through a sea of soft mud. None of the horses uia.a Vitiif nnt Ait anu fnlla moi thn races.

It was decided to let his" 15-year-old son have a try at the job. The lad performed the duty so successfully that now his father has recovered the ciizens re fuse to restore the old man to the post. They declare that the boy not only more thoroughly appreciates the responsibilities of the office, but has greater authority over the commun-ity. and time today 5:38; total time, 12:06.

La Grande by the rain this week and have had but little chance to show what they had, are several Wallowa coun ty horses. ' In this regard, the Record Chieftain of Enterprise remarks: Wallowa county has ' sent some thoroughbreds to help make the Un ion county fair a success this week. They will ensure some good numbers on the program, at La Grande, and they will certainly' win their share of the events in which they enter. Two strings of relay horses have been sent out, one of Clifford Wade and Harry Mays, and the other by J. M. Blakely. Wade will ride his own string, giving the La Grande people a chance to see some real relay work, with the rider . changing horses in lightning time. Keily will ride Mr. Blakely 's horses, and if he handles them as well as he did during the last day of the race here, the contest will be everybody's race until the very finish. Kelly had started away, but Mr, Blakely reached him at La Grande and engaged him for the Un ion county race. Wadewill have1 one advantage, in that the same men who have caught and held his horses here will be with' him in La Grande. Two s( lings of pony express racers have been taken out by the same men Mr. Wade and Charles Tippett also sent out two teams for the Roman They have- matched up some fast stock and will give a race that will be a wonder.

Mrs. Clayton sues in her own behalf and as guar dian of her four children. She asks $10,000 on her own account; $5,000 for each of three .minor children, and $4, 000 for Lloyd,' the oldest son. . Mr. Clayton was employed tq look after the motor in the pumping sta tion put in to raise water to the farm land of Carl Roe, on the top of the hill. He went to shut off the elec tricity in the early evening of Aug ust 5, and did not return to his home. A son . found him dead in the plant, near the 50-horse power motor. The complaint, filed by Boyd & Fairchild of Enterprise, associated with Bennett,. Sinott & Galloway of The Dalles, alleges that, the pumping plant was in a small, dark shed; that the floor was of cemenjt and wood and was "generally wet and in condition to conduct electricity, which made the building a very dangerous place to work unless switched and devices for connecting tne plant were thoroughly insulated and protected." Sufficient insulation and protection were not pro vided, the complaint asserts. Enter prise Record-Chieftain. ' QUIT r KG If yeu feat like wkat you've got, trade It.
