La Grande's Red Cross Charity : Drive closes lu a most satisfactory ' manner. Voluntary contributions tho last i few days aided greatly In reaching ami passing the $3000 mark. When It became known that only a few hundred dollars was yet to be rais ed the' unsollciUited donations be gun to pour In nnd tho volume of them was of considerable conse- ; queneo. La Grande as a city contributed '. $250 nnd In doing so, all depart ments from the commissioners to the city attorney agreed that the work being lone by the Red Cross Is ut material saving and of great value to the city as a whole. Many cases which would cost the city or county considerable sums aro cared for monthly by tho Hud Cross, an that it is n business proposition for both the c!ty( and county to con tribute to say nothing of the hu mane sldo of tho question. - There Is general happiness over the success of the drive which hup plness is notirahle from Adams ave- . line to the most remote district of' the city, for this was everybody's drive. No largo donations were asked for, mid the people gave what they could urford. Many Is tho littlo home that Is somewhat pinch ed Tor funds now, but tho mother spa red n dollar to help others.
