A full attendance of the members of the Neighborhood club is desired for tomorrow afternoon at the regular meeting, as there is important busi ness before the club. All those having dialogue parts in the "Union County Fair" are urged to be present at the rehearsal in the Commercial club room this evening. The Neighborhood club has been Before the public many times raising money for civic or moral Improvement, but now, for the first time they are giving an entertainment for their own benefit to furnish the club room in the new library building. They feel grate ful that they are meeting with a hearty response on every hand. The club ladies who are taking dia- Wim narta in the "Union County Fair" are keeping very quiet about it. They are wondering if their menas or even members of their own families will recoimize them in their funny characters. This play is bringing out histrionic talent where least suspecteu and great results are expected. All Union County's Fame Grows Through Exhibits Seeen in Chicago.

There are so many so-called , comedies on the road that it seems impossible to always know when to go and when to stay at home. Whoever heard of a Hoyt comedy disappointing an audience? We have one coming and it is safe to say that we may patronize it and get our money's (worth. No play has ever been in ' this section which has been parised as "A Bachelor's Honeymoon" by both press and public.

PIONEER OF '64 GOES TO SEE FAT STOCK SHOW Hurricane Deck of Prairie Schooner and Pullman Cars Familiar to Grande Ronde Settler. Photo by American Preaa Aoclatlon Mr, and Mrs. James Moss of Alicel, left this noon for Fortland where they will take in the stock show during the coming week. In speaking of his early coming to the valley Mr. Moss had this to say: "I came to this country in '64 on the hurricane deck of a prairie schooner drawn by oxen. I was then nine years of ' age when my parents set out from Iowa for the west. There was no town here then and but a few shacks in what is now south La Grnnde. I remember a Fourth of July celebration when there were more Indians present than whites', they came in all, of their finest horses and did things in great fashion. You ask, where did we get our supplies? Well my young man, we had to go all the way to Walla Walla by ox team and that was slow traveling. We hauled the first load of wheat raised in this valley 165 miles to a mill. The first plow, if I remember correctly, was made by a man by the name of Tom Russell. It was a sod plow and with it we did all of our plowing. Our house was built of logs; part of it is still stand ing. This younger generation does not know what it is to undergo hardship." Berry Bros.
