; A news story says that Bessie Love, talkie star and popu
lar here in a vaudeville skit two years ago, will )e married.
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-

, All westerners who jealously view the comparison between
coast and eastern or middle western football teams should
be pleased with the selection of opponents for the annual
Pasadena game New Year's day. 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.
