Other 'changes of equal (importance are taking place and the whole agricultural slt : jfution is better than it has been for several years. Aid in solving marketing and crop problems will be possible through jlhe chamber of commerce now more than ever before. ,j In La Grande the most important recently acquired com jmunity assets We our two beautiful new hotels. The value ;fl' these institutions and their ability to attract new business tin becoming more apparent every day. Numerous families have been added to the city because of the hotels. 'Numer ous salesmen have established district headquarter here be cause of the facilities offered. There is an indication that tourist business will surpass all expectations during the com ing season. The new golf course near Island City will play fio small part in helping keep the hotels near capacity. The chamber of commerce is working to capitalize La 'Jrande's hotel facilities. It will advertise them extensively. It will co-operate with them to attract the largest txissihlc lumber of people here. No one knows how much hotel busi ness is to be had for La Grande. The volume of business is ,'lready much more than had been anticipated. With con ; inued growth of the city equal to the record of the past ..hree years there is every evidence that two or three years nore will see the hotel facilities here absorbed and generally ;' ecognized as no more than adequate for the city's needs. Capitalizing the Wallowa lake .basin as a scenic and recre icnal wonderland, promotion of new and enlarged payrolls, extensive building these are in prospect for the coming 'car. The major requirement for progi-css is optimism and o-operativc energy directed toward a worthy goal. It is lossible only through such an organization as the chamber ! commerce.

Kour inaiathpners who finished tho second lap yesterday failed to respond to the starter's whistle to day. They were laid up with soro feet with exhaustion making things worse. The small army -of starters swarmed mil on the highway and 1 icadod east as though they were out rnr a picnic, some running and soiim walking. A caravan of auto mobiles, following the entrants and a motley crowd of townspeople, lining both sides of (he roadway track gave the scene a picturesque apiH'iuance much like a circus day gatherliir,'. kolchmahuii AImwI The cold, dump weather proved no drawback to the enthusiastic townspeople who ran and walked along with the runners for a con siderable distance.
