Was Born In La Grande
r- geverui ycars ag0 when the State Federated Women's
""'""clubs met in La Grande a movement was launched to pro-
vide a fund which would be used to assist worthy girls
: in obtaining a college education. It was planned to ar-
Jfiinge finances so that girls running short of the necessary
means to finish their college courses could borrow from
"the state federation without interest and wholly upon
the honor of the borrower.
I'il-'f That it is a magnificent idea no one can doubt. That
it is doing a j;ieat good is plainly shown when we slate
ilili that 3(50 girls have been aided in this honorable manner.
At the slate university, at 0. A. C, at Monmouth, and at
!;:!! 3')mc of the business colleges can be found direct proof of
Jhis splendid movement.
"" It is also to the credit of La Grande that since the
i!:!:: movement was launched the Neighborhood club of this
city has been one of the strong resources financially speak
ing for this federation fund. In other words La Grande,
through her Neighborhood club, has always come forward
with more than her quota.
In order to keep that standing the Neighborhood club
will give an entertainment and dinner in Hunan hall next
Tuesday evening, Hie entire proceeds of which will go to
the girls' loan fund. '
Does the Evening Observer need say more to the gen
erous people of La Grande for such a cause? Your pres
ence Tuesday evening will speak your endorsement of this
worthy movement.

Time To Provide A Park
Is La Grande going to face tho tourist season again
without a municipal camp ground for the tourists?
." That is a question that deeply concerns the Chamber
of Commpiw and the city commission.'
v" The park we have is too small and no one has even
.anticipated that it would be permanent. Pendleton
EJen fit to take care of this municipal need in the right
I manner, Raker has a municipal park that is a going con-
l coin and capable of handling the automobile guests, but
La Grande is sleeping on her rights during tho time 'of
f '.'ear when all preparations and arrangements should bo
thought out ready to take action with early spring.
We cannot afford lo enter this season without a suitable
p.irk one that can bo made a permanent and municipal
concern.
The Roosevelts
" L ; The principle which caused Theodore Roosevelt to be
r cpme a leader and remain a leader of the people of this
j jvitkm has been handed down to his sons. This was shown
: -itvhen Archie Roosevelt took the stand before Teapot Dome
; investigation in congress and told the story of the Sin
clair company's cotmecion with the whole transaction.
If the father could have heard that boy testify no doubt
-ii? would have been the proudest moment of his entire ex
istence. , " The Rooseve'ts ring true, clear down the line.

Kosn Cox, another member of
Ihe Astoria party tells In Ills book
of an fittuok of the children by
wolven, "Krom thence she pro
ceeded the following morning to
ward a range of mountains . ,
win-re she Intended to remain (ho
re; t of the winter. Thin place Hhc
reached on the next day In a state, j
ot great exhaustion from want of
food. Korlunntely she had a buf
falo robo and two or three deer
skins, with which, aided by somo
pine burk und cedar branches, she
constructed a wigwam that served
to shelter her tolerably well from
the Inclemency of the weather.
I he spot she chose was a rockv
rccesH close by a mountain spring. I
She wus obliged to kill tho two i
horses for food, the meat of which ;
she smoke-dried und the. skins
served us an additional covering to
her frail habitation. In this cheer;
less and melancholy solitude tho '
wretched widow and her two poor
orphans dragged out a miserable
existence during 4 severe season.
Toward the latter end of March
he had nearly consumed the last
of her horse-flesh, in consequence
of which she found U necessary to
change her quarters. During tne
whole of this period she saw nono
of the natives, or uny indication
of human habitation. Having
packtul up as much covering and
dried meat an sho could carry, she
placed it and her younger child
on her buck, and taking tho elder
by the hand, she bade adieu to her
wintry encampment.'
Alexander itoss who also was a;
member of the American exped
ition gives this account in his .11
terestlng book: 'I packed up all,
loaded my horse, und puttlnc my
children on top pf tho loud, ivi ou
again on foot leading tho hors'i by
the hHtrr as before, in tlila sad

en, long grass, and moss, and pack
ed it all around with snow to ke p
us warm, am) this was a diffi
cult task, for I had no axo, but
only a knife to cut wood. Jn this
solitary dwelling I passed flrty
threo lonely days. I then left my
hut and set out with my children
to cross the mountains; but I be
came snow blind the second day
und had to remain for three days
without advancing a step; and
this was unfortunate, an our pro
visions were almost nxhatiKtwl
Having recovered my sight a little
1 bet out again, and got clear off
the mountains, and down to tho
Plu:ns on the fifteenth day after
leaving my winter enca m t un en t s .
but for six duys we had scarcely
anything' to cat, and for the hist ;
two - days not a mouthful, t Soon '
after wo had reached 'the plains
I perceived a smoke at a distance; :
but being unable to can y my (
children further, I wrapped them :
up in my robe, left them conceal- ;
ed, and set out alone in hopes of ;
reaching tho Indian camp, where
I had $een the pmoke; but i was :
so -weak that 1 could hardly crawl

Next day at noon I got to the
camp.. It proved to belong to the
Walla Wallas, und I was kindly
treated by them. Immediately up
$11 my arrival the Indians set off

brought them lo camp tho same
night." . ; i
it would be a matter of great
historic, Interest If this Dorion j

Girls and Athletics
,.-.; Discussion of what jfirls should or should not do never
loses its inleiost, mid one of the most relentless phases "f
such discussion is that in regard to athletic sports. Fol
lowing the decree by a few doctors, both men and women,
that girls should avoid strenuous games, there now conies
strong endorsement of such games by the Affiliated Gym
nastic society.
