NUMBER 142 LA GRANDE IS WELL KNOWN IN NORTHWEST Municipal Improvements, Hotels, Schools all Factors in Recognition UTAH AN SURPRISED AT SNOW REMOVAL Many Official Delegations Visit La Grande From Other Cities to Inspect Plants. La Grande has become one of tho best known smaller cities in tho Pacific Northwest largely due to municipal improvements, mod -, ern hotel facilities, an attractive business section and the K astern Oregon Normal school, as well as other and numerous factors. Municipal Improvements, in par ticular, have attracted a great deal of attention to this city, with num erous municipalities of the Inland, Kmpire visiting here to 'Inspect water and sewer systems, etc., dur ing tho hist year or two. Koine Follow Ixxutl Lead Other cities arc often following l Grande's lead. Portland pur chased u-flushcr similar to the one here, some, months after the city commission purchased and put into use tho La. Grande flusher., Now the city's plan of keeping both sidewulks and slreetn clear of snow during the worst winter months by using tractor snowplows Is attracting considerable com ment. Most of the newspapers in Oregon have printed stories about llie smewaut piow purunaseu ucre,., and only a few days ago. a promin-j . ent visitor from one of the larger Utah cities, was agreenhly surprised I in iiiki uul a nuiuuuii iu nuuw i problems. lie was visiting here and had occasion lo talk with l.'lty Manager V.

Surprises t'laluin ; "Why, no," i Mr. Crowu..tfiplied. "W'e use tractors to plow both suic-el walks and streets." " The visitor was surprised., and' asked to see the equipment. Upon , viewing tile tructors unu plows, no told Mr. Crews that upon his re turn he would Immediately lake up, the matter with his clly govern-; incut. This is only one of many ca.ses. official delegations from. . such cities as Wallu Walla, linker, Ku- gene, l.ewlston and many others have come to l.a tlrandc at cllf- fcrcnl. times lo Inspect some locul linprovemenl. Si-wage riniil Nolkml The ?lor.,(M)0 sewage disposal plant, located near the Old Oregon Trail highway as It enters 1-d (irando from the east, has attracted probably more attention, it Is said, than any other one municipal fear tare. The water system, supplied from bolil Heaver I'reek and two deep urlcslan wells, Is tho envy of many cities In Iho Northwest, which dur ing exceedingly dry and exceeding ly cold periods face, uftentinies serious water shortage. Tho admirable hotel facilities have served to acquaint a large number of people with Ia (irnnde, who fornerly made It a point to go on through, slopping overnight elsewhere. i In turn the Normal school. bcr sides bringing u large number of young people and faculty member) hero from tills slate and nearby stales, 'has irlveu the city a promiiir ent place on the educational map.
