A USE FOR JUNKED CARS.
There is now nn answer for the jokers who wonder what
becomes of old automobiles the ones that are too far gone
;for the . "used car" market. .Pierre, S. D., has solved a
problem and answered the question by using these decrepit
candidates for the junk pile to help build protective works
.igainst the treacherous Missouri river. , (
; Pierre has always had to fight the river, which has a
.habit, of changing. its channels erratically and wiping out
large areas of city-front land. The war department said
the city authorities could build dikes or walls or whatever
they needed, but tho expense of such undertakings has de
layed them.
Now a trial wing dam has lcen built, using junked motor
cars to start with. They were placed along the mud flats,
where they settled themselves rather firmly and encouraged
a considerable deposit of nice, rich river sediment. Within,
it short lime, according to glowing reports, "a new shore
.line was in the making", und. the battered remnants of un
wanted cars have been given a final opportunity to servj
the conimiiiiity, thus illustrating some profound philosophy
kl WtW to 'OUJJJUU'. i :. i. ,v : .
CITY WELCOMES REALTORS. .
Today the people of La Grande are hosts to the realtors
.of the Northwest Idaho, Montana, Washington, Uritish
Columbia and Oregon in their annual convention. Never
. before in the history of the city have we entertained so
important a group of business men and never lefore have
we had such an opportunity to advantageously acquaint
valued visitors with the beauties and superiorities of tho
CJrandc Rondo Valley and Eastern Oregon.
" With this thought especially in mind, The Observer re
grets exceedingly that confusion yesterday afternoon and
evening in housing th arriving delegates resulted in so
much inconvenience 'and disappointment. There was no
excuse for such a condition. Reservations had been made
jind should have been honored. The blame does not rest
on the shoulders of any one individual. Lack of co-ordination
of effort and of a close cheek on conditions just prior
to the convention resulted in the mix-up. We regret it be
cause too frequently first impressions are lasting impres
pions, but fortunately tho visiting realtors and their wives
are good sports and can be counted on to overlook the dif
ficulty. They have traveled and convened before and they
are quick to realize that mistakes happen in the best of
regulated families or communities.
Housing arrangements have lieon readjusted today and,
we hope, everyone is happy again after a night's rest and
vill be comfortably cared for during the balance of tlu
Week. La Grande wants the realtors to have a good time.
Every effort is being made to see that they have it. Any
discrepancies that may appear are not due to a lack of in
terest nor to, a lack of sincere hospitality. And there nr;
many good things offered by La Grande and the Grand".
Ronde and Wallowa valleys that will compensate for the
convention's coming here.
Residents of these vnlieys think there is no place in the
Northwest so beautiful and so ideal fur satisfied living.
And there is reason for their enthusiasm that will become
apparent to the city's guests in tho next few days. Kin-'
farming land where small grains and alfalfa flourish each
year; unexcelled orchards that produce choicest apples,
cherries, peal's, prunes; fertile gardens where varied crops
of berries and vegetables art' abundant and all this sur
rounded by timber-clad mountains rich in natural resoui'ccs
imd scenic splendor to invite the vacationist and sportsman.
Wc hope that the realtors will have a full opportunity
to see the wonders that are peculiar to this section of Ore
gon, that they may stay long enough to know La Grande
und the Grande Rondo Valley as it is known by our citi
zens. And we hope the impivssions they carry away are
such that they will wish to return again and again. It is a
pleasure to have them with us now and it would be n
great pleasure to have them return.
