LA CKANDK AM) ITS TKKKITORY
' Visitors in La Grande this week from distant Kints in
Oregon are interestet in having a good time and in renewing
uciunintanccs, but ve take it for granted that they are also
concerned somewhat with learning something aliout a sec
tion of the state that many of them seldom.are able to visit.
Oregon is a big state and the railroads and highways are so
i-i iiivl ellei orl tlinl tho mil niol i-inttn from itun ini'iini' ii tiiintltm'
can easily. total seven or eight hundred miles. And even in
(lie west, where great distances are little thought of, that is
not a trip to be taken every week-end.
tuning the last two years La Grande has bccnine known
over Oregon as a piinniiient convention city. Numerous slate
and Northwest, organizations have been entertained here and!
the pingressiveiiess of the city, the beauty and fertility ofj
I he valley, the scenic splendor of the Ulue mountains and the!
Wallowa country have become more widely known than ever
bcfoiv because of these visitors.
The Legion convention brings the greatest crowd here
that the city has ever known and we hope the assembled vet
erans and their Auxiliary associates will grasp the oprtun-
ity to know this section of Oregon. Ii Grande, with over!
11.1100 population, is the sixth city in the state outside of!
Portland. It is a lumber and railroad tenter and the market-!
ing point of two of the most beautiful and fertile valleys iu
tho west the Grande llontle and the Wallow a. The industrial j
payrolls of the city total nmre than four and a half million!
dollars annually anil this one county produces crops valued'
at a like amount. A million and a tiiaiter bushels of wheat!
will le harvested here this year and apples, cherries, prunes,
anil other fruits are grown to perfection in numerous sectionsi
of the valley. and shipped to the markets of the world.
Fine oiled macadam highways lead in every direction and
lor the vacationist and sortsman the mountains and
streams of Eastern Oregon offer wide variety of recrea
tion. The Wallowa country, with scores of beautiful hikes
:et in green-clad mountains, is becoming known as the most
ideal mountain result section of the Northwest.
There are an endless number of things aUnit which uuv
Kasterii Oregon citizens can talk for hours. Legionnaires, ori
most of tin-in. are too busy to hear it. but we hope they will'
absorb enough of the enthusiasm for this section to cause!
them to stay on for a lew days or weeks or to return at
leisure and enjoy the I'.lue mountain region as we know they
would. Ii Grande is the capital of a growing inland Ihe
tn empire an empire whose imiioi'taiice is being rcnliied
more imd more year after year.
