A correspondent at La Grande says
of u wedding which failed at that
place this week:
Henry Shaefer, who has a ranch at
the head of Missouri Hollow, near
Pumpkin Ridge, was almost rharrled
the other day. He would have been
If his prospective bride had not sud
denly developed a case of "cold feet"
and "flew the coop."
It seems Henry advertised In a mat
rlmonlal Journal for a spouse and by
this medium got in communication
with I Mrs. Hudley of Ohio. She came
to La Orande last Thursday and was
met by Mr. Shaefer at the depot. As
It was too late to get a marriage li
cense they hired a cab and drove out
to Mr. Shaefer's brother's home at
Island City, where they spent the
night.
The next day they came in to get
married, at least that Is what Shae
fer thought, but Mrs Hadley evident
ly had other plans. She brought all
her things wljh her, and on reaching
here told her "affinity" that Oregon
would never he "home, sweet home"
for her and that she longed to get
back to Ohio, as the country did not
look good to her.
Henry was completely upset on
hearing this, but manfully took his
medicine and finding her determined
to go, bought her n ticket and sent
her on her way.
ELKS Itl'V ('MB in ii. din'.
I.a Grande Lodge Taki Over Com
nierclal Club PtfOUBfif,
The La Orande Star says:
The La Grande lodge of Elks, de
cided last night to buy the Commer
cial club property. -Yesterday morn
ing the. proposition was first broach
ed and through the day the matter
was well canvassed among the Elks'
membership. An option was secured
for the property as It stands for the
sum of $9500. The offer on this
basis has been accepted and the Elks
will proceed Immediately to finunce
the matter and the transfer should
be completed within u week.
The Commercial club building and
ground Is on the verge of mortgage
foreclosure, and the agreement reach
ed last night will no doubt prove of
advantage to all concerned and at the
same time save the humiliation that
would follow a forced sale of the
property in order to meet the indebt
edness standing against the Institu
tion. At the price agreed to be paid,
It Is said, the indebtedness and accru
ed Interest will be paid and all the
stockholders will be compensated for
their Investment.
The lodge organization has In view
some changes in the building to make
It suitable for lodge room purposes,
and It Is probable, also, that arrange
ments will he effected whereby the
commercial organization will be pro
vided with a suitable home at a cost
that will be within Its reach. Viewed
In all respects the transaction is re
garded as one of benefit to the Elk
fraternity, to the commercial organ
ization and to the community in general.

Good Student,. But Showed Signs of
Spender Instinct.
For a poor- student at a normal
school to acquire a fortune of over
$100, uuo sounds like a storiette In a
dream magazine, yet that is the stroke
of good fortune that but recently fell
to W. W. Scales, captain of the bas

As a result of a lawsuit that has just
been terminated in California the
sum of 4 1 ';,..,.!.) K to the mother
of Scales and lncldentully to him
self For some time past Scales-has been
a student at the Eastern Oregon etata
normal and he has always been re
garded as a serious-minded, indus
trious student The fact that he has
some standing among his fellow stu
dents is shown by the fact that they
chose him to lead the track team to
victory during the coming spring
Scales' home is at Roseburg and he
Is said to have been sent lo the Wes
ton normal so that his education
might be .acquired In a qulwt town
where there would be none of the
temptations which beset the student
with money In the larger schools If
such was the motive of the young
man's mother, then she acted wisely,
for though of a conservative disposi
tion In some reBpects, Scales is said
to have the Instincts of a spender.
The family lived in Utica, New York,
but Inter removed to California, and
from there to Iloseburg.
Yesterday Scales was in Pendleton
for the purpose of buying spring
clothing and though he said little
concerning his good fortune, he was
plainly Jubilant over the same as
well he might be. The $105,000
which he has Just received was in
volved in litigation over his father's
estate and the amount was but re
cently awarded the mother and son
by decision of the California court,
before which the case was tried.

THfc DRUO STORB THAT SERViS YOU BEST
Passenger Agents Will Be Replaced
by Hew Official.
An industrial agency may be es
tablished by the Oregon Short Line
In Boise, doing away with the office
of district passenger agent, accord
ing to Assistant General Freight
Agent F. H. Plalsted, who is in Boise
spending a few days, says the Boise
Statesman.
Mr. Plalsted also brings the news
that work will soon commence on the
Northwestern road, which up until
the time of the panic was building.
Vice President and General Manager
Bancroft visited Huntington n regard
to this matter Monday, stopping in
Boise on his way back to Salt Lake.
Just how soon work Is to begin again
on the road from Huntington up the
Snake river or how large a force
would be put on, Mr. Plalsted was not
able to say.
The mutter of establishing an in
dustrial agency In Boise In place of
the district passenger and freight
agent's office is being considered
quite earnestly by officials of the
road.
If such an office Is established in
Boise, and it Is believed it will be, as
It Is far more Important than a dis
trict passenger and freight agent's
office, both to the railroad and the
people of Idaho, there will be several !
assistants tu the agents who will con
tinually keep in touch with what Is
being done by the commercial clubs!
and other like organizations that are I
helping to build up the west at a re-
markablc rate.
It will be his business to travel '
mucn or the time and know what is
being done where there are openings
for people wishing different lines of
business, and have a general m,,m
of Information that the nver.nr I
person wishing to settle In this part
of the country would care to know.
The work done by the district pas
senger and freight agent will be large
ly cared for by traveling agents.
Much more of this work is done now
by traveling men than several years
ago.
