; About the Wheat Meeting
"6' No better thing could have been planned than the
meeting for all interested in wheat growing which will be
held Saturday afternoon at the city hall at 1 o'clock.
.: '' The new plan for marketing wheat is the biggest thing
hat. has ever been put before the farmers and other busi
ness men of the northwest, and under no consideration
should there be anyone interested in the welfare of the
-industry stay away from the meeting.
It is well known by all that this is the plan which
seenis to be able lo snatch the wheat grower from bank
ruptcy, and wjtlL.a resource as largo as wheat growing is
in the Grande Konde valley, it behooves everyone to take
the propei'irkerest.
; This means that every business house and professional
office in the city should be represented. The speakers who
will be present will give all details relative to the new move
ment and will answer any and all questions,
i ' La Grande as a community has an opportunity to not
only inform itself on the wheat situation, but it also, has
an opportunity to aid the success of the plan very materially.

Tho block, composed entirely of
brick buildings, had been rebuilt
since the hist disastrous fire which
ovc u r red less thun t li reo years
ago, anil was covered by the city
hall building In which the library
books' and city recordH wore stor
ed, a poolhall. an empty building
a drugstore and a burlier shop. Thr
latter building way saved from to
tal ruin by the work of a bucket
brigade of tho Covo volunteer fire
department.
Origin Unknown
The Idaze, originating in the i
pool.hall spread to the other build-1
ings before it was discovered. No
knowledge of the cause of the fire
lu hud today but among other
theories put forth is tliut of in
cendiarism. The community hurried to the
about $!,000.
The drugstore, pool hall und an
empty building destroyed were all
owned by Dr. II. 11. Little, oft'ovc.
'he loss to the buildings amount
ed to about .$x,nno, other losses
including that of contents of the
buildings, amounts to approxi
mately $7.00(1.
No help was summoned from
nearby towns due to the fact that
the fire had reeeived such a start
that it was realized that by the
time help had nrrived, it would
prove useless.

What Is Style?
HAVE you ever wondered what the word "style"
means? It is a derivation of the Latin word
"stylus," meaning a writing instrument, a written
foim, or a mode of expression. It is also a quality
in man that expresses his character; that is why, you
should be so particular in your selection of clothing,
to choose the styles that will not detract from your
individual personality. First of all, you should con
sult an authority on style to ascertain the proper
mode of the season. Hart Schaffner & Marx, the
world's greatest manufacturers of men's clothing,
who have made a life-long study of "style," tailor
ing and fabrics is
