They came from Andrew Loney, Cornier Portland cornclist, who hns come to La Grande to make 'his home and be a member of the La Grande Elks' .band. Mr. Loney played several -Holo parts and experienced and versed critics declare La Grande hasn't heard -such cornet tones before. When the rest of the band gets the swing of ac curate accompaniment, I41 Grande wall heur some great music. Another ANDREW LONEY. ma f . i t - urii'iiMiirimiMjiiivB ,- , j Elgin Trio Headed for High Seas via j Lower Grande Ronde. From Elgin to the Columbia river by boat is the task essayed by Elgin parties and the journey was started last week by 0. W. Barlow, owner of the Elgin Green Houses; his son Carl: and Frank Petty, of the Elgin Fair store, the IMgin Kecorder says. In comparatively small row-bout and with provisions to lust several days the trio departed from Grande Ronde river bridge in this city last Saturday with well prepared plans of boating to Columbia river. The trip is not being made so much as an experiment to ascertain whether or not it is possible to make the journey, as for the pleas ure incurred therein. Word was received from the party at Rondowa junction of Wallowa and Grande Ronde stating that they had encountered difficulty at the outset of their journey, the slow time in mak ing that distance was due to low wa ters in the Grande Ronde and conse quent difficulty in cettinir the boat over shallow rimes, rrom there on they expected no difficulty from low water but that was the last word re ceived. They will follow the Grande Ronde to where that stream pours in to the Snake river, tho.ice down that stream to Lewiston, where they ex pected to make a brief stop. From Mere thoy will continue their down stream course to the mouth of the Snake, where the waters of the mighty Columbia are reached. . There they will make some disposition of their boat and board the O.-W. R. & N. Co, train for home, getting on at wie most convenient station. According to Mr. Barlow, who was originator or the trip, they expected to consume about 10 days. Their plans were to spend considerable time fishing, stopping at the most alluring places. They carried plenty of fish ing tackle. Their commissary depart ment was made up of only necessary articles, Doing selected with a view of minimum weight. Their only fire arm was a 22-calibre ride. the journey should prove a most enjoyable outing and a trip of ex treme pleasure. Not only'do the wild and precipitous canyons of the Grande Konde and iSnake rivers ufiord beau tiful and rugged mountain scenery but somo of the best angling in the wortnwest. A portion of the journey is fraught witn divnger. In the narrow canyons where the streams boil and tumble as a result of the sudden decreases in elevation numerous bouts ihave been capsized. Enthusiastic Road Booster Visits I his Section. A. F. Alexunder, well known rep resentative of the Up-to-the-Times magazine ot Walla Walla, und a con sistont booster for the oranosed new road connecting rJirin with his citv, arrived in Elgin the latter part of last weoK and spent several days here in the interests of the magazine he represents. At present he is visiting one principal towns ot Wallowa coun ty, but will return to Elgin Friday or Saturday to spend a few davs before reluming home. Mr. Alexander savs that the resi dents of his city and Walla Walla val ley are taking a new interest in the proposed new road over the Blue mountains from Elgin to Milton and l1 recwater and then into his city and are waiting an opportunity to get ac tion in a financial way to assist in ths construction work, fie realizes full well the handicap to which Walla Walla, her tributary towns, and Klein are subjected in the matter of tourist travel us a result of the unlit condi tion of the present road and the nu merous accidents happening on Phil lips creek grade. He siuys that when ever the people of Elgin and Union county get ready to proceed with the building of the road that Milton and Wmlla Wullu will lie ready to assist with every reasonable resource at their command. He never tires in his efforts of promoting the proposed new road anil has accomplished a lot of j good in t nut line.

Relief Given Needy The French Huguenot churches, be ing in severe straits on account of the general devastation of the war, appealed to the American churches for help. Their delegate, Pastor Russel, recently took home a gift of something over $20,000, and now Rev. Charles S. Macfarland, General Sec retary of the Federal Council, reports that he has secured nearly $25,000 more, which will be conveyed to the French churches as an expression of Christians in America. The Federal Council is endeavoring to secure about $150,000 for the help of their bretheren in France. Such incidents as this are, at least, gleams of light in a situation which sometimes seems hopeless. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 CHURCH NEWS, j j ! J 4 4 4 C. FIRST M. B. CHURCH.

Both gentlemen were in attendance at the Grande lodge session of the K .of P. The members of both parties state that the trip was enjoyable from many standpoints, but none of them have a desire to repeat it, says the Elgin Recorder. Dr. Kirby said that there is a stretch of road about 30 miles long between Pendleton and lone that will not admit of description in the presence of ladies. Elgin's baseball club, winners of the Valley league pennant, journeyed to Enterprise last Sunday where they defeated the leading ball club of Wal lowa county for the championship of Eastern Oregon by a score of 7 to 2. Elgin won handily, and with mid season judgment in the running of bases would have run their score up to an even dozen. In that respect the locals displayed their only weakness.' i v X- S J ., 2Y 1 V A D.R.FONO CELEBRATED CHINESE HERB CO.

He The new Catholic church at Three Ijikes burned, down just before day light Saturday morning rotates the i Enterprise Chieftain. It was in sured for $1,000, only part of its cost. First mass was to have been hold in the church on Sunday, with impro vised furniture. Rev. Father Smith came from Wallowa to conduct the services, and held them nt the home of Frank Sprute, whore the members decided to rebuild at once. The edifice was not quite finished. It had been erected by Catholics of the community nt gre.it sacrifice and they had taken every precaution to prevent damage. As all the work had been done in the summer, there had been no fire on the ground at any time, and so the members see no pos sibility of the blaze starting accident ally. They expect a further investi gation to be made of the origin, hav ing looked into the matter to consid erable extent already. In ground dimensions the church was "2 by 50 feet and when com pleted it would have seated full 100 worshippers. The altar and other furniture were to have been bought ami installed shortly, aCter which the structure would have been consecrat ed. Services will be hold in private homes during the rebuilding period, as in the past. Our Wjnt Ads bring results. M. E. CHURCH SOUTH. Sabbath School 9:45 a. m. Mrs. J.
