Every iceberg '.STIie railroad shopmen came from all pails of the O.-W. pastern to attend the three-day celebration, and it was a thorough success in every way. La Grande was pleased ff have this influx of people, and it was not at all strange tor hear on every hand the desire expressed by the visitors lobe transferred from their present post to this city. The reason was plain. Hospitality shone forth from every nook 1 1 3d corner and the ladies of the Methodist church fed the Itors in a way that would cause any good physical man 4 have the desire to locate where "eats" were so abundant lnd so well served. j Next year, we understand, the occasion is to be marled Myth a barbecue and a general Union Pacific system cele bration..
