"I also visited my brother, v,!io is retired and living ut the Beverly Hills Hotel, Los Angeles, "Los Angeles is a wonderful city and now has more population than San Francisco; it is the largest city on the Pacific Coast. I recalled a trip thut I made by stage in 18(18 from Sun Jose to San Diego when there were no railroads. Los Ange les was then not over 5000 in popula tion, mostly. Mexicans. There were not more than 25 to 50. families of white people. The old town in Los Angeles has vanished, but a part of the old Mexican town of San Diego is still remaining, and at Ramona's wedding place there is preserved In dian relics and paintings and a fine exhibit of curios. "I crossed ,the Mexican line to Ti Juane, a Mexican city-200 years old, with no marks of progress. There is an old Mexican fort there which an American company could demolish in twenty minutes. I attended the races there and saw some very fine horses. There was a bull fight, but I did not to to see it, having seen one before. "At Pasadena 1 witnessed the Rose Carnivaland it was a very interesting and enjoyable sight. I saw Ml blue rose for the first time in my life, J also attended the football game and saw the Oregon boys defeat Pennsyl vania. I dont go in for football as a rule, but it was a part of the car nival program, and it was a fine op portunity to study mankind en masse. So was the carnival. It was estimated that there were at least 200,000 peo ple at Pasadena during the carnival. "I also visited Luther Burbank's luboratory at Santa Rosa, and saw his spineless cactus, his California Red. which' is a cross between the orange and the apple, a sour thing of no com mercial value, and his Burbank potato, We raise just as good and better po tatoes in the Grande Ronde valley. "My main purpose in going was to sec my old friends and to take a va cation, and I had a very enjoyable three weeks' trip. You Can Save Half at This TOTAL ECLIPSE OF MOON" (Continued From Page One.) phere around the moon that could re fract the sun's rays and produce a twilight effect, so it is interesting to know that this faint light which shows the moon in the dark shadow of the earth is due to the rays of the sun refracted around the earth by the earth's own atmosphere. This is the same principle which allows us o read after sunset the refraction of the sun's rays by the atmosphere. vjj If it is clear we can enjoy a finq illustration of these facts for several hours, for the moon will not begin Jo emerge from the shadow till nearly " a. m., and will not wholly leave it ti'l after 3 a.m. .

(Special) Com plete and radical changes must be rrnde. in legislation and methods of financing projects before irrigation in Oregon becomes a success. Tho work is too stupendous for individual undertaking, and must have not only more hearty co-operation on the part ci the residents of the state, but fi nancial support from both the state iiml National governments. A way must be found to encourage the set tler and aid him in his efforts to be come a successful farmer and pro ducer. Such was the dominant note ex pressed by speakers at the sessions of the Oregon Irrigation Congress yesterday. CHIMECLOCK I S l I S 8 : i THE CHIMES Lord, through this hour Be Thou our guide, So, by Thy power, No foot shall slide.

For $43,000 tho Wilcox & Wright Everyone who has . lived , within sound of tho Bells of Westminster is familiar with the verse given above. I The origin of the carillon has' never i been positively established. Some writers accredit it to a Mr. Crouch, I who was a pupil of Dr. Randall, I Regius Professor of Music. This, how ever, is disputed by other writers who accredit it to Dr. Randall's conception of the idea taken from a movement v the fifth bar of the opening of Haen dd's Symphony, "I know that my Re deemer livoth," The Chimes were first l'Ued to the Clock of University church, St. Mary a the Great, in Cam b: idge, but were not copied until they were reproduced on a very large scale m the Victoria Clock Tower of the Houses of Parliament. As a home institution serving the people of this locality enjoying your fcvod will and business favors, w-i have in the past endeavored to show our ap- preciation by presenting our patrons I with calendars and novelties and oth- trwise recognizing your co-operation n making this a serviceable and suc- cessful banking house, i i Years of prosperous banking have bten made possible only by your sup port. We wanted to show our appre ciation in a substantial way and have therefore purchased of the manufac turers, the McClintock-Loomis Com pany of Minneapolis, Minnesota, in cluding the exclusive rights for this city, a large handsome clock combined with a set of soft and most beautiful .chimes. At the quarter, half and three-quarter hour, these Chimes will ring out in various musical combinations; at quar ter past the hour, four strokes West minster, at half past the hour, eight htrokes Reveille; at three-quarters past the hour, twelve strokes Cathe dral peal; and on tho hour, sixteen strokes Westminster, followed by tho striking of the full hour, in a clear vibrant tone. May we hope that the Chimes will mean something to all of our people that they will have a message for tho youngster on his way to school; n thought for tho business man who hus tles through his day; a solace for the old. Every day of the week the chimes will be sounding their message-tho ncte of warning spoken in time; the chime of rejoicing; the lament in tim cf sorrow. This chime will be all things to nil men for it is going to be Img not to us alone, but to men and wemen and children of our community. LA GRANDE NATIONAL BANK, La Grande, Oregon.
