This Is a "Hail" of a Story
G. M. Curtiss, locomotive engineer.
came in from Kamela today and
here is what he nulled: "At Mcachnm
the day of the hailstorm 1 pulled my
engine up to take water. The hail
began to fall and I yelled to the
fireman to cet in the cab. About
that time two hailstones us large ns
any hen egg produced on Dr. Phy s
chicken ranch came crashing through
the cab window. The fun began. It
seemed as though it would not quit
Volley after volley of those icy pel
lets i whacked away until I began to
think that something -was going to
happen. I looked out when the storm
yubsitled a poor old Ford car stand
ing in front of the Meuchani hotel
looked like it had been through a
world war battle." When asked if
there was any truth in the report
that hail fell so terrifically at Ka
mela that the roof of Martin King's
house was pierced a bottle of rare;
old beverage concealed in u hand
grip was broken, Mr. Curtiss shook
his head saying: "I am telling no
tales on Mayor King. Just where he
kept his private supply is not
known to me and I refuse to be
questioned further."
JOHNSON IS OPPOSED

for recognition right away;" prohi
bition he passed over, but expressed
himself ns for a soldiers' bonus pay
able out of excess profits.
With the election of Johnson as
sured, no concerted effort was made
by state tabulation headquarters to
bring in the missing precincts, but
when 2721 of the state's a 520 pre
cincts had reported Johnson had a
lend or (7,47iJ., .
In those precincts the ; farmor
lahorite polled 2i8,0ti0 votes, as 'com
pared to ISO,!?:! garnered by Gov

A. Curley, Democrat.
"Fine," Savs Lafotlette.
MADISON, (Wis., July -8. Sena

j Most of the living rooms are fur
i nished nicely and everything is
made easy us can be for these poor
people. Anyone having friends or
relatives ut the asylum may rest as
sured that every care and attention
is being given them and they are
much better off ut the asylum than
at home.
Visits Penitentiary.
"We wulked one-half mile to the
penitentiary anil got there about
noon. The gentlemen in the crowd
were called to one side and taken
over the place. The ladies were
shown over part or it, but as there
were so many ladies and very law
men, we didn't get to see many
prisoners. We were shown the cells.
The inmates were out on the farm.
What we did see were dressed in
brown khaki like any other man.
The wurden told us there were four
hundred und fifty men and four wo
men confined within the walls. Sev-
en towers on the high walls are:
manned bv guards with loaded guns.
There is not much chance for escape
it seemed to us. Some good paint
ings were shown uh uh the k handi
work of the prisoners.
"This visit did not take ns long ns
the asylum and a hungry crowd dis
persed in search of lunch and spent
some time satisfying the inner man
and we got a very poor lunch at
Salem.
"We went aH over the State Capi
tol building and had the pleasure of
meeting Chief ustice McBride in his
room. We got to see him and give
him a cheer, but on account of just
recovering from a siege of illness
ho didn't make us a talk, as we
hoped he would.
"We called on Governor Pierce,
but as it was late, he must have
gone to his lunch and he missed one
of the greatest sights of his life,
of that fact, we are sure.
"In the afternoon, the crowd broke
up into bunches and went to the
different plncas. Wo went out -1
visit the school for .the blind-. It
wus closed for the summer and was
being repaired for the coming year.
All we got to see was tlia grounds
which showed tuste and careV After

lu t ho document: Thbt was also read
by the ' toast muster, and. then ho fol
lowed with an '"Official Receipt'
which had been prepared by tho ban-
ltietfi'H last evening. In Ihi.s receipt
I no acknowledgement was made of
the. return of the borrowed person.
and sentiment wus also conveyed to
Mr. A. li. Slunge of the appreciation
having lib; son a permanent resi
dent of. La Grande, of having tho fam
ily name enrolled in the educational
and civic institutions of this pit v.
closing, wiih the hope expressed that
La Grande may yet be (he home, of
Mr. and Mrs. A. Jl. Slange us well
as the home of their son and his es
timable, family.
Tho reading of these different in
struments brought forlh that feeling
of friendship which radiates through
out an occasion. Many of the men
who signed the first document ten
years ago were present hist evening,
it was a. pleasant memory augmented
by the knowledge that Ihe, Slang.'.
Lumber company of Merrill had made
good lis promise and kept tho faith'
ax It had pledge,! it would do.
"Jliime Sweet Home."
When Ihe last words of this por-:
tion of the program carrying Ihe sen-;
timent of the heart died awa, Mis:i;
Kathleen R Campbell, vocalist, sang!
in u full round voice with orchestra
accompaniment. 'Home Sweet
Home." It added the final climax
io tho home coming and was deeply
impressive. She responded lo a vigor
ous encore wilh "A Perfect Day."
A. T. Hill, chairman of the locating
coimnitteo nppointed to wage La
Urande't; campaign for the new mill,
responded to the toast, "Advantages
oi Locating a Saw Mill in l.u Grande."
Me- reviewed the advantages of
.schools, of homes, hotels, told of a
growing city lhat waited with n
warm welcome to reeelvo the indus
try and pledged a loyalty that) was
genuine to the. company if It saw fit
lo come here, - -. .
Judge V. G. Couch spoke on "What.
Lumbering iMeam: to I'niou Couirly,"
producing rignres and records from
Ihe court house to show the maunU
Hide of this industry. lb! sard the
Commissioner P. J. Ulaek spoke lo
the toasi, "Officially Speaking" and
he in firm language expressed the ai
tidute oi the cdy eomaUsslon hi being
ready to support any move that would

was followed by 1 L. Meyers, cash
ier of the Im Gmndo National hank,
who presented well prepared statis
tics on the business of the city lu a
number of lines. In a vein of good
humor he reviewed hit: arrival In Li
Grande thirty years ago, and then
compared the different epochs or de

a way thai Impressed everyone
with tho knowledge of a young man
who has been raised In the lumber
business. He issued a strong welcome
to the Slango interests to locate hero.
H. K. Ashby, manager ot the How-man-Hicks
Lumber company, told
why bis company had come to the
northwest from tho soutjiland and
Hpokn of the bright future, ahead lor
every community that baa been blest
with forests nearby. Jle mentioned

ami neigiihoriy reeling among all the
mills in La Grande, territory.
JHvertlng from tho subject of lum
ber for mi Instant. W. K. Moore, of
the White I'fne tox and Lumber
company, gave a very classical tribute
io waicr. tie likened it unto lnnnviiiml re-rvetiilv ih-.tib,.,i
beautiful things but Insisted nt Iho one lor Ihe kindnesses shown hlm
close of his talk tliat. regardless of Iheiself and his family. Iteferrlng to Ihe
"" "r "'" f-umiecnth loan made ten years ago to his lnmh-r
amendment, water remained a might;
poor beverage.
I'.J tsmaun, proprietor of the I'nlnn
Hox Company of l.u Grande, furlher
extended Ihe tut nil of welcome to the
new mill. He told of .hi pilgrimage
lo Ui Grande when he heard of :i

"Welcoming tl NeW imlusiry" wuh

president or the l.u Grande Chamber
of Commerce. The speaker . made a
strong argument for HiIh city ami In.
dulged in the science of salesman
ship to Imprest! everyone with lh I
data which he produced. His plc-,i
ture oi tho future wan vivid and nl- '
most alluring. Mr. Uirlson did not i

Mr. Slange Itesimnds,
1 When the arguments had been
made; when seemingly every failure
of 1 4i Grande as a good saw mill lo
cation had been laid bure, the toast -master
asked tho guest of honor, Mr.
A. 11. Slange, lo respond (o the cor
dial and friendly features of Iho eve-
nlng, but to disregard tho saw mill
question, for no one expected a ver
dict as to Its location last evening.
'Ihe speaker paid a high tribute lo
this cily, to Hh people for tho manner
in which Hny do things, to the har
mony and oneness of purpose of a'l

now returned IiIn son ii l citizen
among those whom he loved.
"However, I feel Ihnt our obllgn

question at HiiH banquet table."

There was a stillness that was al
most opprctmive. Kvery ffuest listened
with utmost eugerness. Tua moment
wan tense us the speaker continued
by saying, "ati Judge permit iiia : to
say that you businessmen of t.a

convincing and I will say thnt tho

Mo from Minnesota, over Governor
Preu, was received by President
Harding Tuesday morninp, when hi
special train on the Alaskan railroad
was stopped hero for breakfast.
t,4irhe chief executive read the A1

Governor Preus had conceded his de
feat and giving" returns om about
half the state, but he would make
no comment for publication, on the
frrounds that the voters of Minnesota
had spoken, and any statement from
the president would be unseemly.
It was obvious that the president
