Woman's page of the Oregon Sunday Journal, and one of the most active club women of the state, says of the coming meeting: of the Oregon Fed eration of Women's clubs at La Grande, which many members of Pen dleton's progressive clubs will attend: La Grande will be the place of meeting for the next convention of the Oregon Federation of Woman's clubs. The exact date has not been determined, but It will be between the first and 10th of November. This was decided at the meeting of the executive board, which was held at Portland last week. It was a most Interesting meeting, with more mem bers in attendance than at any meet ing since the convention last fall. The principal matters under consid eration were the coming convention at a Grande and the headquarters which are to be maintained at the state fair this year. Only Committee Work. It was unanimously decided that enly such lines of thought as were suggested by the various committees o.: the state and national federation should he taken up. The time for programs, tor enter tainment only has passed. Under this arrangement an hour, with an author itative speaker, will be given to the Industrial conditions of women and children in Oregon. Another hour will be given to the consideration of good citizenship, while an entire eve ning will be devoted to the subject of public health. It Is the Intention up on this evening to have several speak ers of prominence, and the lectures Illustrated with stereopticon views. It is hoped, with some assurance of realization, that Mrs. Moore, the new president of the General Federation, may be present. If Mrs. Moore come the rest of the program will be ar ranged so that she may have as much time as possible to give to the meet ing. Will lie Badged. Eadgea are always an item of con siderable expense to an organization, and the suggestion was made at the board meeting that this year the club women should content themselves with bows of club-color ribbons. But the suggestion fell flat. Every town that entertains wants a souvenir badg4 and then the women have worked out so many Ingenious ways of preserving them that they must have them, so it was decided to have them, and La Grande will be asked to suggest a de !gn. Good Attendance Urged. It will "be three years since the state federation held ft convention In eastern Oregon, where It has some of Its largest clubs, and It Is believed that this will be a well attended meeting, but to make sure of It the board urge that every club not only send Its quota of delegates, but that many of the members who are not delegates attend. Perhaps half of the thous ands who attended the Boston con vention were not delegates. When great programs are arranged and La Grande will have a great program two or three members out of a club are not enough If any ma terial benefit is to be gained, and It should be a duty of every club woman whether delegate or not, to go If pos sible. A general Invitation will be ex tended when the call for the meeting is sent out, but It Is none too soon for club women to begin to think about and plan for going. mass meeting. They have all left or passed to the unknown realms. BEX BROWN. Excellent Health Advice. Mrs. M. M. Davidson, of No. 379 GIfford Ave., San Jose, Cal., says: "The worth of Electric Bitters as a general family remedy, for headache, billiousneas and torpor of the liver and bowels Is so pronounced that I am prompted to say a word In Its fa vor, for the benefit of those seeking relief from such afflictions. There Is more health for the digestive organs In a bottle of Electric Bitters than In any other remedy I know of." Sold under guarantee at Tallman & Co.'s drug store. 60 c. HOW THE TOWN OF LA GRANDE RECEIVED NAME A few days ago he La Grande Ob server "put It up to" Commissioner Brown to Inform Its readers where the city got its name. The following communication tells: Island City, Aug. 22. (To the Editor.) Tou asked me to answer how La Grande received Us name. I will do the best I can. It is nearly 4 8 years ago. I cannot refer to the diary you speak of which I kept all through the winter of '61 and '62, as I quit In the spring of '62 for I had too much other business. I kept a hotel, store, saloon, butch, ershop, livery and feed stable, sold oats at 15 cents a nound, sheaf oats at 50 cents a sheaf; meals were tl each and beds or rather rooms, 60 cents. Patrons had to furnish their own blankets when crowded, as our patrons varied from one to 60 per day. The way La Grande received Its name was by calling a mass meeting for the purpose of namtng the town. It had been called by the names of Brownsville, Brownstone, etc. After the meeting was called to order I was elected' chairman, being the first time I had ever held the position. Tou can Judge how near we- came to following parliamentary rules. Several names were suggested, a man named Dorse some kind of a Frenchman suggested the name of La Grande. After some discussion a vote was taken, "La Grande" receiving the highest number ot votes. That Is how the city received its name. I re member Mr. Dorse gave us quite a talk on the subject, why It should be named La Grande, that word La Grande meant something beautiful. I can find no one that was at this RAILROAD IP SNAKE TO COAL DEPOSITS. The announcement of the Idaho Railway & Navigation company's plans to construct a railroad up the Snake river on the Idaho side has aroused much Interest, says the Lew iston .Teller. While It Is generally conceded the I. R. & N. U backed by one of the big transportation lines, several theories have been offered. The most popular theory appears to be the Chicago & Northwestern connection, which would secure to Lewlston a third railroad system, but it has been suggested the I. R. & N. company Is a promotion of the Hill roads and Is being extended into the Grand Ronde coal district for the purpose of gaining control of the sup ply of coal of the Inland empire. This theory Is supported by the statement that during" the exploita. tion of the Grand Ronde coal district nn expert named Tate was sent into that section by James J. Hill and made a most favorable report of the find ings. The list of the officers 'of the new Incorporation Includes the name of S. Ii. Tate, said to be the man whom J. J. Hill sent to examine tho coal de posits. Reports received In the city today from the Grand Rondo section are to the effect that much development work on the coal properties has been carried on In a quiet way and that large deposits of fine coal have been r-xposed.

Taking warn ing from the attempt to rob a North ern Pacific railroad train, tho Union Pacific secret service guards under direction of Chief Keillher, have been greatly Increased, and all passenger and mall trains will be more careful ly, protected than for some time past. It Is frequently noticed that efforts to rob trains In one section of the country are followed by similar at tempts elsewhere, and It Is to offset this contingency that the guards are being Increased. All of the guards are men of cour age, accurate markmanshlp and men of endurance and physical strength, and are heavily armed with the most up to date types of firearms, from the sawed-off automatic shotgun to the smokeless Winchester, ' which can carry a bullet accurately further than the ordinary eye can aim.

Tho Hoppner Times Reviews the agricultural outlook of Morrow coun ty In the following sensible and op timistic manner. The hints, to Mor row county farmers will also apply to Umatilla county and the East Ore- gonian takes pleasure in republish ing tho article as follows: Just as soon as harvesting and threshing Is over the seeding of summer-fallowed ground will begin, and here lies a work of vast Importance to the farmer. If he hasn't plowed deep In the spring, while the soil was full of life. and If ho hasn't harrowed It well and kept the Weeds down, the 'chances for a bumper crop at this time next year will not be flattering, to say the least. g Spring sowing 'of wTieat In Morrow county is simply wasted effort and should be abandoned entirely, and again the farmer reaps as he has sown. If the seed Is properly fan ned and vltrollzcd the smut will not be apt to cause the burning of the threshing machines next season. Club Wheat Pa Out. Tho more successful farmers of Morrow county are becoming con vinced that little club wheat has Just about outlived Its usefulness In this part of the state and they are sure .they have found a worthy successor In Forty-fold wheat This Is 'practically a new grain In this country, but several enterprise Ing farmers have been testing It dur the past couple of years and now the majority of the wheat growers are satisfied that 40-fold has come to completely revolutionize the wheat In dustry of this country. Numerous farmers found last year that their 40-fold outylelded their club wheat several bushels to the acre. Theodore Anderson, of Eight Mile, got 42 V4 bushes to the acre of this new grain and last year he sow ed it In all his summer fallow ground. Dr. N. E. Winnard, one of the most extensive wheat raisers In the Hepp- ner country, is an enthusiastic advo cate of the 40-fold wheat. This sum mer (the season of very short crops) he has Just reaped 12 bushels to he acre of ciub wheat, which he sold at 74 Vi cents per bushel and 20 bushels to the acre of 40-fold wheat which he sold at 78 cents per bushel. Blth were sown In the same field, at the same time and under exactly sim ilar conditions. Forty Fold More Imritiilile. The 40-fold commands a better price than the club, in fact about the same price as blue stem, and yields much heavier than either of the old varieties. Blue steam has never yielded as heavy as the club, but has brought-from two to four cents more to the bushel, but In the 40-fold we find a variety that combines the best qualities of the two old kinds of grain. The only objection- we have heard offered against 40-fold wheat is that it shatters pretty badly, and must be cut when It Is ripe or considerable waste will ensue. Those who have tested the relative qualities of the two grains claim that Bhould the 40- fold shatter out even five or six bush els to the acre It would still boat lit tle club or blue stem. The Times believes that this new variety of wheat will be universally adopted by the farmers of Morrow county and that club wheat will be abandoned almost entirely In time. The latter has run ltsel( out In this country as Is characteristic ef nearly all kinds of cereals throughout the world from time to time. When this 40-fold grain Is adopted by all our farmers and the summer fallow ground Is prepared according to scientific principles - (plow deep and early, harrow often during the summer and above an. keep the weeds down) Morrow county should easily produce from 25 to 60 bushels of wheat right along and good wheat land ought to be worth from 25 to $60 per acre.'' We believe a brilliant future awaits the wheat growers of this highly favore'd agricultural sec tion. Some fools are not m harmless as they look.
