Club Notes
Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, editor of the
. 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.

"The worth of Electric Bitters as a

billiousneas and torpor of the liver
and bowels Is so pronounced that I
am prompted to say a word In Its fa

relief from such afflictions. There Is

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.

MORE ARMED GUARDS
FOR OVERLAND TRAINS.
Cheyenne, Aug. 24. 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.
