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. C. Ui'ews. Muncipal problems
wero under discussion, and tho
Utahnn remarked that he supposed
l.a tlrandc had Us snow in'obleniu
tho same as other cities. .
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.
