-AT-. I
l
Long about the time o' year
iWihen a fellow likes to shirk.
And a big streak of laziness
Is getting in its work,
j The sun keeps getting warmer
And winter clothes are shed
I Whilo perspiration's leaking
From that 'bald spot on your head.
I When thoughts of shady pine trees
And new adventure thrills,
i Keeps a fellow longing for
An outing in the hills,
1 About that time some citizen
The good news brings
There's going to be a County
: Grange at Medical Springs
Tho grangers searched the weather
signs
To see if 'twould be fair,
They brushed their Sunday clothes
and combed
The hayseed from their hair;
The auto-cars were overhauled
'Till everything was prime,
And everyone looked forward
To a Toynl good time;
For wo knew that Uncle Dunham
Would be waiting at the gate.
With his usual hearty welcome
And a story to relate.
He's the father of the "Brander"
A famous baseball fan
And he's Medical Springs' and .
Union County's Grand Old Man.
Of course we have a rousing
Open meeting of the grange,
People came from miles around .
From mountain, farm and range
They're at home a busting bronchos
Or singing of a psalm,
And we wonder where so many
.People all came from;
First person on the program
j Was the chieftain of the hills, .
I Whoso Rpecch rang out a welcome
I Full of eloquence and thrills,
I Spontaneous hospitality
Seems natural with a clan,
I Like Medical Springs' and
J Union County's Grand Old Man.
m
We wont to see the cabin
Built in pioneering days
The rocks where once the Indians
Ground their camns and their maize;
1 he spot within the orchard
Whore the prize potatoes grew,
The very largest apple tree
That Oregon ever knew.
And all the time our genial host
Was telling of the things,
That in the days of long ago
Had happened at the Springs.
"The dances at the cabin
Whon the people were so thick,
None but fiddler with his bow
Could stir them with a stick."
"The famous men of Oregon,
Who in the days of yore, '
Had written being guests within
Their names, upon the door."
"The Indian bands that gathered there
And camped along the oreck
To use the "henp hot" medicine
In doctoring their sick;"
Experience has taucht us that
To reap we needs must sow,
So outing trips must have an end
Whon duty calls to go;
We bid adieu and mentally
Another visit plan.
With Medical Springs' .and .
Union County's Grand Old Man.
Whenever there's a gathering
In this country round about,
WheTe there's a chance to meet old
friends
How's This?
W offer One Hundred Dollars Reward

And have a visit out,
A pioneer re-union
Horse show or Cherry fair,
Always you are sure to find
Your Uncle Dunham there;
Does him world's of good to meet
A Morelock, Bloom or Mays,
And swap old reminiscences
Of back in the early days;.
He'll tell you (how he tried to make
A pack horse of am ox
And scattered precious stores of food
Among the grass and rocks.
i
Of the voracious pullet
Executed for her greed,
In order to get 'back again
Their stock of garden seed;
He's always Wright and recognized
As leader of the ranks.
His yarns are fresh because they come
Directly from the Hanks;
A man of firm decision
And optimistic vision,
Fashioned as his prototype .
On the old Abe Lincoln plan.
His friends delight to meet him
And lovingly they greet him,
As Medical Springs' and Union Coun
ty's Grand Old Man.

Although not a citizen of the United

reads a letter County Clerk Andarson

if my life is spared, when peace comes
I may return and claim the honor of
American citizenship.

I have several small and medium sized farms for sale
that will bear investigation.
One farm the owner will consider a part or possibly
all in exchange for La Grande City property.
I have a splendid rooming and boarding house prop
erty that is especially well located for this purpose
which .the owner will consider taking a small home
as first payment and will give very easy terms and
a low rate of interest on the balance.
