The snop ana vara lorce is now nearly up to the maximum of the flush times and none of the mechanics or other ence of railroad men in city affairs in La Grande has never been conspicu ous in the past ; Engineer Henry Henson, Robt Finley and John Sheak, now deceased, were former members of the city council and Thos. Walsh, an old-time dispatcher, once occupied the mayor's chair. This about con cludes the list of exceptions. ' Won. Hawkins, an employe of the shops who also has a small farm in Fruitdale where he makes his home, says he would not know what the ter ritory where his home is would look like if he saw it in daylight.
