It is not often people complain of a getting too much for their money, isjj it? ! Well, there is one place in Eastern j i Oregon where a man is giving too , Yesterday those who attended the much for the money ho receives, races at the La Grande fair grounds felt a thrill of olden days, for they saw some of the best horses in the country contest every inch of the half mile track. Every driver was at his best and the driving was not only spectacular but it was scientific. When "Harold Welcome" driven by Butcher took the third heat of the 2:14 pace after taking second each of the other heats the grandstand went to its feet and the good, old enthusi asm of racing days was once more at work. (It was an American crowd and American enthusiasm. Every person present appreciated those noble horses at work; they could see in the horse of their choice points of excellence, and when that horse showed a burst of speed its admirers could not remain quite. In the 2:17 pace "The Corsair" owned by Joe Hubor of Bozemnn, Montana, was the favorite and the old chap seemed to appreciate the ap plause from the grandstand; He is a great horse, but ho had fast company. "Amy McKinney," the black mare that N. K. West once sold for a hun dred dollar bill showed well. "D. Burke" of the Huber string was in good form and made a close second to "The Corsair" in two heats. "Sweet Bow" driven by Ivy is a good one and so is "Baby Taily" owned by Golden. That place is Wallowa Lake. John Egensporgor and his wife own and run this resort and they are too lib eral for their own financial welfare. John sets up a meal there cheaper than you get the same meal at home. Think of a great big juicy, fat sirloin steak the kind Jack Horan furnishes his own table for forty cents with all the trimmings. When we called John to one sid-e and said confidentially, "John, it can't be did," he shrugged his shoul ders and remarked: "My wife and I would feel disgiaced forever if any one left our dining1 room and kicked on the grub." All of which is. th-o , 4. . 1- 1. T..i T I. correct way 10 wiiiin. . out, uumi, these are the days of high cost of liv-' ing, and we'll leave it to Woodrow if l this is not correct. Therefore, we ' said to John, "raise your prices, I ! John, raise your prices, for every body's doing it." But John won't do it. He will keep right on feeding those high priced steaks to his guests, making them happy and turning evtryone of them into boosters. There is not an ani mal on the whoie resort grounds that is not rolling fat. Even the dogs are overfed. Mrs. Egenspcrgcr is a moth er to every living thing in her do main, and she looks after her guests with a kindness of hea,-t that is gen- ifW s ) M I Copyright Hart Schaffner !c Mux (ft Depot Street ; H HERMAN'S PLACE - sZ Soft Drinks and Confections Fresh, fine line of Tobaccos Best Bowling Alley in Oregon, also Card Rooms'and cozy Loung ing Quarters MILLER'S LUNCH COUNTER In connection with the above facilities, Charles Miller serves clean, sanitary short-order Lunches featuring Home-made PieB.
