Chicago, Kob. 28. (United Picas)
The Mary Dawes hotel for women,
the gift of Charles G. Dawes, in honor
of his mother, has been opened for
business.
The hotel, modeled after the Dawes
hotels for men in Boston and Chicago,
is a 5150,000 stone and brick building,
with rooms for 250 guests. It is run
on the same principle that the other j
Dawes philanthropic institutions are
that clean, wholesome hotel accom
modations can be" furnished at much
less than the prevailing cost, if ope- j
rated without profit, under scienti
fic management.
Kooms rent for ten to thirty ccnt3
a day, and guests may be either per
manent or transient. Each room has
a window, rugs, lockers, mirrors, bed
with an abundance of clean linen, and
access to toilet and bath facilities. A
cafeteria in the basement provides
vholesomo meals at cost. Breakfast
may be secured for 5 to 6 cents, and
dinner for 10 or 20 cents. Sewing
rooms, a beautifully furnished lobby,
and a complete laundry for the use
of guests are provided.
Miss Frances Cowley is in charge
of the newest Dawes hotel.
On Palm
The last five sales have been from residents who reside
away from Grande Ronde valley.
It apparently is the same oldstory: Home people as
a rule do not realize the opportunities that are here.
The first settlers of this valley did not appreciate the
value of that large fertile tract we now call the Sandridge.
It was the very last land in the valley to be occupied.
A few years from now not a few of those who read these
lines will state: "I did not know that Palmer valley would
ever be tke prosperous country it is."
It will be too late then. The opportunity is bow. No
experiment. Many families have already demonstrated
the productiveness of the soil. You know the location, near
railroad, near Elgin, adjoining a forest reserve, which means
cheap range for stock and free fuel for all time.
Come in and let us reason together.

That if Frank Phy held his present
judicial position in some status he
would 1x3 called the judge of the surro
gate court and if he held the same
position in still other jurisdictions be
would be called the probate judge?
But holding tho position by virtuo of
the good will of tho people of Union
county, he U known ad a good follow,
end is called Frank by everybody. As
a mattor of fact Frank doesn't like to
be called judge. For the benefit of
strangers, however, we wish to say
that Frank is our county judge, and
that he has jurisdiction over probate
matters. Tho other day a dear old
lady from the country came into the
office of the Security Land A Savings
company, and asked to eeo the judge.
Charley Reynolds took tier back to
Frank's sanctum, whereupon tho fol
lowing conversation ensued: "Are you
the judge of reprobates T" esked the
lady. "I am tho county judge, mad
am," said Frank with dignity, "have
you something to probate?" "Ah, yes,
that's us I expected judge of pro
bate. You see my father died de
tested leaving an estate to several
heirs, and I want yo to appoint me
the executioner."

That thure is a first class law suit
waiting for a first class lawyer at
Enterprise? A gentleman living in
that city writes aa that tie has an
important piece of litigation and
wants to know if there to such a thing
aa a first class lawyer in La Grande?
As there are several lawyers In Enter
prise whom we consider worthy of
that distinction, we have been wonder
ing if we are correct in our estima
tion of what constitutes a first class
lawyer. While wo were pondering on
this mattor we chanced to meet J. M.
Hilts, the circuit court bailiff. "A
first class lawyer?" quoth Mr. Hilts,
rolling his cigar contemplatively,
"why a first class lawyer is one who
wins half of his cases and collects all
of his fees." in regard to the fees,
says Col. Ivanhoe. "If I don't get
them when I need them I always need
them when I gat them."
That tile lexicographers are not at
all agreed about the pronunciation of
the word "squalor?" Some of them
make tho pronunciation rhyme with
"waller" and bo mo make it rhyme
with "jailor." A couple of local at
torneys were discussing the word the
other day in Judge Knowles' court
room, and in order to settle a dispute
over the proper pronunciation of the
word they went into Court Reporter
Hannu'4 office to look it up uv the
dictionary. They found there a more
or less dilapidated copy of Noah
Webster's original work a book that
had been brought to Oregon in one of
tho first ox teams that crossed the
plains. On tho fly leaf of this vener
able volume was written in a boyish
scrawl: "Robert Eakin, Eugene City,
Juno 27, 187.1." This relic of antiquity
once belonged to Judge Rolert Eakin,
who has just recently .retired with
great honor from tho supreme court
bench of the state of Oregon. The
future jurist Was at that time a young
law student in tho law office of Geo.
B. Porris, who has also recently re
tired from the practice of law with
the distinction of being the oldest
practicing lawyer in the state. The
word squalor, by the way, means filth-
iness, and one of tho lawyers started
the discussion by describing a witness
in the following sentence: "His mouth
stretched across the wide desolation
of his face, a fountain of falsehood,
and a sepulcher of squalor.
That Charley McCrary has the foe
ulty of getting more fun out of life
and more speed out of an automobile
than any other man we know of?
One day Charley was taking a bunch
of traveling men over to Union m his
Havnes car, and as time was tho es
sence of his contract, ho was getting
his passengers to their destination:
without any unnecessary delay-
Rounding a sharp curve in the road
on two wheels, Charley saw immedi
ately ahead of him a wayfaring man.
followed by u dog. As the machine
drew near them tho dog started sud
denly to cross tho road. He was hit
by the car and killed. Charley stop
ped his machine and -approached the
man with profuse apologies. "I'm
sorry, old man," that this has happen
ed, although I think you will admit
that I couldn t help it. Will this be
all right?" And Chorley handed the
fellow a ten dollar bill. "Oh, yes,"
said the man pocketing the bill.
'That's all right." And then as Char
ley climbed into his car and was about
to drive on, the man cume up to the
car, and looking into Charley's eyes
with solemn earnestness, asked: Say,
mister, do you know who mat there
dog belongs to?"
