INCREASE IN BUSINESS
Great Vigilance Exercised in Keeping
- the Road Clear or Snow. ,
The local railroad yards and the
condition of things in general in the
roundhouse, rip tracks and shops sup
plies a very fair and accurate baro
meter of the recent revival of business
over this section of the O.-W. iR. & N.
In the blacksmith shop nearly all
the forges are ablaze and the steam
hammer is doing the old time .two
step with fair . regularity. .. In the
shops practically all the every, day
machines are manned and kept run
nings It is the same way in all the
railroad repairing departments. 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. For
three months he has traveled to and
from work in the darkness of evening
or the early niorning. '

Afterward Popys strolled about the la
