Instead I find thriving cities, which for push and enterprise nro far ahead of towns in tho East. And hero, too, is to bo found ono of tho greatest wheat editors in tho country.

Appalling Fate That is Llablo to Overtake tha Would-be County Scat. The La Grande Gazette this week makes a frantic appeal to the city council to take steps to light the weeds and thistles that bid fair to overpower and run out the natives. It say? : 'La Grande is threatened with n nuisance that demands early and 1 piumpt action. It is the prevalence j of thistles in public streets, on private property and in tact almost every where within the city limits. Tho growth of theso noxious weeds especially in the Coggan addition and north of the ; track is almost appalling, and they havo been spreading with wonderful rapidity during the past year. If nothing is done to prevent their fur ther spread it will not be another year before tho town will bo utteily besieged. It is even now too late in the season to make a total destruction, but it is not too late to do something toward checking their further spread. The seeds are just ripening, but a great many can bo dest toyed if tho matter is promptly attended to. It is natur ally considered the duty of tho com mon council to look after such mat ters as this, and it, is piesumcd that they aro perfectly willing to take such measures as may be deemed most ex pedient to correct the evil. Owners of property should have pride enough about them to destroy thistles grow ing on their premises, but as not all property owners can be relied on, an ordinance to that effect, it rigidly on forced, would accomplish tho desired object. The public streets should also bo clearcd,of this pest. Tins' may be the street commissioner's business. At any rato it should be attended to. Tho council meets again Friday even ing, and although a little lato in tho season it is hoped they may take somo action on these suggestions. Thoro is a splendid opportunity for employment of city prisoners in cut ling down tho thistles. The work is not hard and this bit of information may be the means of inducing an in creased number of vagrants to como to La Grande to get "vagged." WALLOWA. An Immense Yield of Grain Transporta tion Facilities Needed A Romantic Wed dingDiscovery of a Rich Quartz Loilgo. UiT-r.n AVam.owa, Sept, 1, ISOO. Editor Oregon Scout: Crops arc magnificent. Tho grain yield will bo immense. If tho fiinnora but had a cheap transportation to tho sea for tlieir great surplus, tho cry of hard times would cease. 1. J. Blevans returned from Union a few days since. Ho speaks in glow ing terms of the hay and grain produ cing qualities of Grando Kondo valloy. Ho was surprised to see such an im mense sea of grain, unbroken, lor miles and miles, savo by lanes and cross-fences. Thero was a quiet wedding in En terprise a few days ago, that was pre ceded by romantic circumstances. D. M. Warden, a highly respected citi zen farmor of Prairio oreek, had long felt the need of a better half. I tin many friends, male and female, sought for and found a duplicato of the origi nal rib spokon of in Moses Genesis. Some of them knew a buxom widow, away back in Missouri. They told Mr. Warden so. Ho was delighted and begged an introduction. He was in troduced. A correspondenco followed. Pictures were exchanged. Sho said she'd como, and sho did, and the twain mado one, launched their matrimoni.il craft and sailed away. May they con tinuo to sail between sunny skies and stimmor seas, and when they shall havo finished thoir earth's work, I and all that know them, hopo tlioy may drop anchor and furl sail in tho haven of sweet rest. Camp and Knight havo struck it rich, up among tho clouds. Tho ledgo is from six to nine feet thick, is silver bearing and assays, at tho surface, over $100 to tho ton. Tho ledgo is just over tho crest of tho ragged mountain west of Joseph. Though high and lifted up, it is easy of access from tho other eido. Camp and Knight desorvo tho meed of praiso for tlieir unyielding porsoverauco. Nono aro envious of tho fortune beneath thoir feet, but all heartily rejoice with them over tlieir long sought for but final triumphant success. I believe both tho boys nro bachelors, as most long time miners aro; but now that their financial for tunes aro assured, it is safe to say tlioy will soon become benediction brothers. Caroline 0.
