Convention
Drive for the Northwest
Meeting to Be Carried
on at Ucllingham Late
This Month.
rimil dctuils ure rapidly shap
ing here for un invaslou of Bill
lngham tin' last or this month with
the express purpose of capturing
the 'J2li convention of Northwest
Keultors, according to unnouncc
ment by loeul real estate men to
day.
Last year at Yakima, the Iji
(Jrande delegation, headed by the
chuuihcr of Commerce quartet, took
the convention by storm In an un
expected assault for the m:5
meeting and when the smoke of u
sharp but short, battle wa-s oier.
La Grande had lost by u margin
of eight votes. "The charge upon
the convention and the remark
able hit by the quartet so impress
ed the 3SU delegates ut Yakima
that by loud acclaim they promis
ed Ja Urandc the convention a
year hence If und on tin' If hangs
a story." says a local realtor.
The "If" In this case, it Is said,
is that the quartet be on the Job
at llelllnghum. And the quurtel is
going to be there.
After some little uncertainties in
the matter because of business en
gagements or the members, all
.mention has been eliminated and
thi' singers urH prepared to visit
llelllnghuiu. A quire of new song
hits, improvised to fit the occa
sion. Is now being prepured and
l.u Clrundc is sure lo get some
splendid advertising from the
warblers, the real estate men ure
sure.
Big Hcprcscillnlion
The ltealty Hoard' of this city
will be represented at iiclllngham
by at least one man from each
office. Thu committees In charge
or me convention program are
going to pick up the fight where it
was left ofr last year and with the
quurtet acting as light artillery to
attack at all points along the. Hue
Where the generals may deem il
advisable, loaded with good litera
ture and a hogshead ot enthusiasm
the di' legates will go to. Helling
ham with tlie expressed purpose of
"bringing home the bacon."
The delegutlun will convene on
