I Huntington and all points on the Joseph branch to La Grande should bring many visitors to the La Grande Auto mobile and Motorr-vclc show. La Grande motor and motorcycle dealers will see that the visitors are well entertained. At the show there will be the finest auto mobiles manufactured in the United States, the same ears exhibited at the New York Motor Show, beautiful deco rations, music and other forms of entertainment. The au tomobile men and motorcycle men have gone to great ex pense to give the show, and every one in La Grande will at tend in appreciation of their civic spirit. What a revolution the automobile and motorcycle have made in transportation! On hurry-up trijrs you no longer wait for trains but take the modern winged mercurys, the auto and the motorcycle.? The automobiles with the telephone has abolished the isolation of the farm. It pro motes travel and education. It promotes sociability and recreation. It brings the whole family together in whole some enjoyment. Wives and children see more of father when he has an automobile and takes the whole family out for an outing. The automobile is educating the farmer and the city man to the value of good roads. When you own an auto, you naturally want to go somewhere and you don't want to ruin your car over rock roads or to be hogged in mudholes. Good roads are coming, and the farmer is the man who is going to bring them. It may take some time to remove certain prejudices against paying for them, but it is cer tain that when the people want a thing they will get it, even if it does cost a little money. We have spent enough money in the past filling up mudholes temporarily to have paved the whole state permanently. If the automobile did nothing else than to bring good roads its advent is a pub He blessing. 0 ' BAKER MEN ARE COMING. :':! u or pmintv cattle men will ffo in larere numbers next month to attend the Cattle Growers' association meeting, and La Grande is preparing a royal reception for them.
