WELL MERITED PRAISE.
La Grande is proud of its hospital unit and of the praise
giyen to it by Colonel May, of the Third Oregon. "La
Grande has' done many big things," he said. "The city
and Union County have made a splendid showing in sub
scribing tor the Liberty Bonds. They have over sub
scribed for the Red Cross. That is a fine and wonderfully
patriotic showing. But the biggest and the finest thing
that La Grande and Union County have done since the war
started is sending their boys as a hospital unit. This is
real help. These boys will be stationed right back of the
tiring line, in advance even of the Red Cross base hospit
als.' And they will give my regiment the help .that they
need when they go to the iront. ' ' This praise is well merit
edi ' Coming from a man like Colonel May, this means
something. '
