C A., where it fust formed .hto line. Preceding the parade, at about .7 o'clock, the selected men, both from La Grande and Wallowa county, were entertained at a banquet in the Hotel Foley dining room, where all had a most, delightful time one-to bo re membered amidst other and far away scenes. Prof. J. David Haines' band fur nished the music for both the parade and the dances, as well as rendering mnny selections during the evening. Much is due for the success of the entire day and evening to the thought fuljeare and efficiency of Chairman C. !D. Emahiser, who was everywhere at once. .
