Official announcement is made
that the train service on the branch
will be seven days a week, instead of
six days as heretofore, the change to
go into effect tomorrow, August 1.
The Sunday trains will be a mixed
service same as the six day service
now, and It is sapposed will handle
mail, express, etc.
The addition of the Sunday trains
will be of great convenience to the
people of this county as it makes
possible a business trip to La Grande
and return by missing but one busi
ness day at home. It also obviates
the 24 hour wait at La Grande or
Portland if you are ready to leave
the latter city on a Saturday night.
But of course the great boon will be
the additional mall service If that is
Installed.
,The new train will certainly make
business for itself during the sum
mer in carrying pleasure eeekers.
Men In La Grande, Pendleton and
Baker City are given an opportunity
of a week's end holiday in the finest
hunting and fishing cQuntry In Ore
gon. Scores of tnem will o;quDuess

aro urged to ask for literature and
information about Oregon. The
ldvertlsement Informs the reader
that railroad rates are the same to
all parts of Oregon from the East
and Oregon Commercial bodies will
be supplied with addresses of all en
quirers so that the whole state may
profit by this . advertising, although
Portland will bear all the expense.
There Is probably no other city In
the world that has done a like thing.
It Is urged that all get In line for
this valuable publicity. People from
the East who ask about this state
should be answered promptly and
fully by every commercial body. In
this way, it la believed, very great
benefit will follow for all Oregon.
This la the more Important now
that the colonist rates for this fall
have been decided upon by the rail
roads. Reduced one-way tickets will
be sold to all Pacific Coast points
from the East and Middle West for
colonists and home-seekers who de
sire to settle here. The advertising
campaign for settlers will be well
supplemented by these attractive
rates to settlers.
I EVER GROWING DEMAND
FOR OREGON APPLES
Portland, July 30. That apple
growers of Orego.i have nothing to
fear from the danger of overproduc
tion Is the statement of Wilbur K.
Newell, president of the state board
of horticulture, wbo has recently re
turned from the east. He says the
Industry Is not likely to be overdone
jand that the deoiand for Oregon
J fruit now exceeds the supply In many
! quarters. While away, he visited j
many apple growing districts of the
east. He found Oregon apples well j
established In eastern markets and J
said the price paid for fruit from
this state exceeds that given for the I
eastern product. i
Portland will have an Improved
market for the livestock of the North
west early In the coming month when :
the bb( stockyards on the Peninsula j
will be opened. It Is said the new
facilities to be offered for the mar

the Pacific Coast. At the start the
yards will have a capacity of 75 cars,
or nearly 2000 head of cattle; lO.ir.io
bead of sheep, or about 75 cars;
and 4000 head, or 50 cars, of hogs.
This capacity can easily be doubl
ed as occasion reiuires. The yards
will be run in connection with the
new packing plants now being built
Jon the Peninsula.
That the climate or the Pacific
Northwest Is most favorable to long
life is the belief of Dr. Rudolph
iJ. Hoague, exponent of the simple
life and author of the book. "How
Live One Hundred Tears." He Is
going to establish a colony of bis
follower near Vancouver, Wash.,
life will be along simple lines and
next to nature. Simplicity of diet I
and clothing wMl prevail. Dr. I
