BEN KNAPPER ROBBED
OF $30 IN LAGRANDE
LaGrand has been having a visita
tion of burglars of late and a re
cent issue of the Observer gives the
following, which will Interest the
many friends here of the parties con
cerned:
U. S. Land Of I Ice Receiver Colon
R. Eberhard received a visit from
the burglars and his guest, Ben
Knapper of Joseph, was robbed of
$30. In keeping with the usual line
of LaGrande citizens during the
robber scare, air. Eberhard bad' lock
ed the house on N. avenue before
retiring, neglecting, however, to fast
en a small window high up on the
wall of tlie bath room. He had no
mspiclon that entrance could be galA
ed there, but nevertheless at some
hour of the night entrance had been
effected through the small window
near an occupied bed.
The robbers found their way to
Knapper and daringly enough seized
a pair of trousers which Mr. Knap
per had worn during the evening.
The contents evidently were not re
moved at that time, for this morning
when Mr. Knapper went to dress,
he was amazed to find a t'oodly por
tion of his wearing apparel missing
A search revealed the trousers
hanging on a clothes line In a
neighboring yard. Thirty dollars In
cash had been removed with a
purse, but a knife and a bunch of
keys had been unmolested. Other
wise nothing had been taken from
the house.

STATE W. C. T. V. CONVENTION.
The 26th annual state convention
of the W. O. T. U. met In Hood
River, Tuesday,. October 5. The ses
slons were held in the First M. E.
church and close! Friday noon, Oc
tober 8, State President .Mrs. Henri
etta Brown presiding.
One of the most Important mat
ters that came before the conven-
tlon was the matter of outlining a
campaign that wll unite the W. C.
T. U. with the general temperance
workers of the state In the effort
lo make Oregon "dry" at the next
election. The stats membership In
creased 536 during the past year,
the greatest annual gain in the his
tory of the state.
One hundred and twenty-five dele
gates were preseit. More counties
were represented at this convention
than at any similar gathering.
me county reports indicate a
large growth In the temperance work
throughout the atite.
Each county president, assisted by
her delegation, 1 lustrated the pro
duct of the county by some fruit,
vegetable, ' or product, showing Its
particular specialty.
The united effort of the conven
tion will be. to Increase the member
ship, and to organise local unions,
The feature of Wednesday evening
was the address by Mrs, L. L, Shep-
ard, state president ot the Utah W.
C. T. U. on "The Boy Problem."
The following state officers were
elected for the ensuing year: pres.
Ident, Mrs. A. W. Unruh; vice pres-

from concessions, revenues and oth
er, rentals. After all debts have been
paid, at least a hundred thousand dol
lars will be left to apportion among
the original stock holders. In review
ing the success of the exposition, the
Post Intelligencer eays: "As a simple
matter of justice, It ought to be said
that the newspapers of the state
helped to make it a success; indeed,
no other single influence has con
tributed (more to the success of the
exposition than the influence of the
Intelligent and progressive newspaper
makers of the etate.'i ,
One of the most necessary Inter
nal Improvements In the Northwest
Is the opening of the upper Colum
bia river. The state is now engaged
on spending $50,000 in the vicinity
of Kettle Falls. The North Central
Washington Development League has
called a mesting in Wenatchee for
the purpose of memorializing Con
gress to assist in the work. By
making the entire stream navigable
an important trade highway from the
interior to tide water, will be opened,
on which traffic can be carried
cheaply.
The summer months have seen a
large increase in Washington bank
deposits. The report of Bank Ex
aminer -Mohundro shows that on
September 1, Washington banks held
$85,864,629.71 as against $79,778,-
161.96 on June 23 This is a gain of
$6,086,467.75 in ten weeks time. Neai
ly every county in the state shows
Increases in deposits, loans and cash
on hand.
The people of Ode3sa are sure that
patience Is a valuable virtue. When
the railway commission Investigated
local conditions, they did not kick for
a new depot, but decided to leave
It to the Great Northern Railway,
on the grounds that It would know
best when conditions justified a
new station. President L. W. Hill
heard of this conservatism and im
mediately ordered the erection of
a $20,000 building as a reward for
their patience.
