notable addressee were made, among
them on by W. L. Miller, that is
so apropos to other communities! be
sides La. Grande that ,w give apace
to Mia following description of the
"plan" from the Star:
"The subject handled by Mr. Mil
ler so skillfully Tuesday night was
the guarantee fund of $100,000. He
argued then and still Insists that
by levying, say five per cent of a
man's . taxable property, payable
when he is called upon for certain
'purposes would not be felt by any
onei.
"He proposes that if a man'si prop
erty is assessed at $20,000, for in
stance, to gitve his note for & per
cent, or $1,000 without Interest, no
part to be payable until some fac
tory is built and put into opera
tion, like a woolea mill, a wool
scouring plant, gas plant, an electric
light " plant or any other bona fide
factory that would utilize the raw
materials' which may be prodbced in
Union county,
"His plan g09 a step or two fur
ther. He says' Insert one or two ad
vertisements In the leading Journals
of New York or Chicago, for in
stance, that there Is available im iLa
Grande a guarantse fund of $100,000
any portion of which could be do
nated to any factory that would es
tablish Itself in La Grande. The

matter to pay for these advertise-

"Probably 1,000 or more .replies
would be received from such aa ad.
The committee appointed for the
especial purpose of handling this
fund, could easily select from this
mesa of letters such as may look

"It is a matter of history that the
sugar faccory cost the people of La
Jranda $80,000 and also It is a mat
ter of history, that one of the de
lators to that fund got his money
back five times over flefore the

igned by W. C. Dorrotice, drawn
n the First Eank of Joseph in fa-
'or of J. T, Jones. The check was
first presented by Nelson to the

Jtore andi bought $43.25 worth of
clothing, shoes, etc, and gave the
check - In payment, receiving as
ihange $50.25. cash and the R. S.
Z.'s check for $35.. Mr. Steel
'ound out the suspicious natuie cl
the check when a little later he
:ook the store deposit over to the
bank and a phone message to the
Dorrance some confirmed the forg-
3ry. Nelson had endorsed the check
o the R. S. & Z. in the name of J.
T. Jones.
Mr. Steel and Marshal Hug went
o Joseph on tihe delayed train and
captured the man there. All the

Cold Winter Does
Not Stop Building
Several Residences Started and Com
pleted In Spits of Unfavorable
Woathar.
No residence sections of the town
ire Improving so fast as Alder
View, in the southwest and Boyd's
subdivision In the. west. The for
mer especially is being rapidly built
ap with a fine class of houses-
pretty cottages and large fine res
idences. Building has gone on dur
Ing even the cold weather of this
mprecedented winter.
A number of houses are planned
and only wait the coming of spring
ind the securing of building ma
terial to begin, the work of construc
tion, s
Among the cottages recently com
pleted la Alder View are Wm. Date
ley's pretty home on Depot street
and Martin. Lar sen's on Montclair
avenue.
The class of houses In Boyd's
sub-division have not been so pre
tentious heretofore, but several are
planned to be built this spring chat
will compare favorably with those
in any part of the city. The city
water mains are in this, subdivision,
thus insuring gcod lawns and gar
dens. This removes the only draw
back to that section and It will now
oecome a very popular residence
section.
Mr. Daniel Boyd's faith In the
growth of Enterprise, based on the
bread lines of the development and
growth of the whole county, Is be
ing Justified in the rapkV sale of
hte lots la both Alder View and the
sub-dlvlslon, and the fine improve
ments being made thereon.

Are spotted Jerseys thoroughbred?
Reply Jerseys are of varying col
or from fawn to almost black. Fash
ion has in the past prejudiced the
public against spotted, or broken
colors but they may be just as pure
in blood and many of the best pro
ducers of the breed are broken
colored cows. This pejudice 1b, we
are glad1 to say, passing away. The
term Thoroughbred applies only to
the English race horse. Pure bred
or full bloodi aro the proper terms
to use to disi'dignuteh from grades
or scrubs.

AFTER; BEING STORMBOUND
THREE DAYS.
Th train blockade on the branch
that prevailed since Sunday, caused
by sno(w slidea In, the Galloway cut
a few miles below Elgin, was raised
Tuesday, when a work train was
brought through, a gang of ahovel
