There is no mention of previous husbands for Bessie or divorced wives of her intended. Just a normal, natural love mating. Goodness! What are the movies coming to? ; The total estimated wealth in the United States in 1904 was 107 billion dollars, says the Eugene Register. The year later it was 185 billion and our total estimated wealth in 1929 is FIVE HUNDRED BILLION. So the loss of a few billion (which were paper losses only) in the stock market was not a terribly serious matter. Since 190-1 our national income has increased from 18 billions n year to 115 billion! dollars in 1929. Savings deposits which show the condition ' of the average citizen were six billion dollars in 19M, just fifteen years ago. Savings deposits today in all banks total TWENTY-NINE BILLION DOLLARS. These are a few- figures that "Any lack strength of I Abe Martin gTMS 6 May mi about Is n vr MARKET NEWS OF THE DAY (Continued irom Pane 1) ! be no delay In authorizing tho : t rnmmlxjdbn of Inquiry which would ' !

Southern California, though down in an upset by California, is regarded as fully repre sentative of the west, if not the strongest coast team. The University of Pittsburgh, undefeated in the eiist and ranked on a par with Notre Dame, will carry the colors 'of that vast football area beyond the Rocky Mountains nnd do it credit ably." The game will go far in deciding national, honors, particularly if Pittsburgh should win. A victory for Southern California would bring first honors to the west coast, ac cording to ninny critics. It should be a great battle, sure to provide abundant thrills for a hundred thousand or so funs in the Pasadena bowl. A ma VICAR FOR LA (.RANDE IN 1930 . The survey of business and industrial prospects for 1930 in La Grande and Union county, published by The Observer today, is very much in keeping with the optimistic outlook throughout the country as indicated by reports made to President Hoover in recent Washington conferences. As a irlatter of fact, local conditions are such that 1930 promises to be considerably in advance of this year, with construction work demanding more labor and industries continuing the 1929 level of operation. There will be no shut-down by the lumber mills here. Pro duction by these and other smaller industries will continue with some increases. Railroad employment will be at least on the 1029 level an.l the new passenger station, costing 9128,000, will bo started in the early spring. The details for this structure are now being completed. Other buildings in the business district will continue the demand for construction labor. Road construction payrolls will be much greater in the La Grande territory, both bv tho county and state, next year than thev were this vear ' . The total sum of activities for 1930 gives a surpVisinglv bright hue to the new year's horizon. In addition to the business and industrial picture, agricultural prospects are easily on a par with those of the present year and the im proved tone of the wheat market, increased dairy activities good fruit prices, etc., promise' a substantial valley back' ground. General confidence and a strong buying power are shown m early holiday business. In spite of unseasonal weather merchants report business volume up with last year and mmfcrous gains have been shown. Never in recent years has there been so many known facts to give assurance of steady employment and business activity in the year ahead 1930 will b ea good year. It will be a big year for thos; making the most of its opportunities with sggivssivo woil; and careful planning. (III.? Vt llo (I l-UHlC'l Ultlk lluin lev to park flat to curb.
