Toiling In the Cities.
life In the city Is rooting more ami
more to ecom an r: mural exile. iar
tlcmarly to tbe country bretL at whose
heartstrings tioylah memories of farm
and orchard, of wood nn.l stream, tug
appcaluigly, nuking pictures to the lu
ner eye as of lost paradises as titer sit
Imprisoned In their ; ala, . slaves to
the telephone and the tk'ker.
More and more such meu are plan
alng to escape, vowing to tbetmeives
that they will rest satisfied with the
modest competence rather than tbe big
fortune, so Uat tbey Cava pull out while
tbey still have some youth left and be
boys again lu tbe old countryside, fifth
tbe old streams and go coon hunting
m the old woods. 1 know many men
with that umbltion.
For a man who has been exiled In
tea city for a number of years, baring
during that time bad no more intimate
acquaintance with nature than ia tj be
anatched In bis auuual holiday at
some fashionable beach or some luxuri
ous hotel In tbe monntahi9 for s'.:eb a
one to watch the coming of spring, da;
after day, m a stri-tcli of ohl woodland
la to come as near to the recapture of
youth as 1 possible lu a world whose
one Irremediable sorrow is tbe Ines
capable doom of growing old. Richard

Meeting old friends is a bright spot
in travelology. At La Grande I had
an enjoyable visit with Claud Mack
ey, chief engineer, prosperous and
universally liked and respected. La
Grande has a splendidly equipped fire
department for a city of its size with
a paid department.

An oddity in La Grande is a coun
ty court building labeled City Hall, a
fatherless affair, about fifteen years
oM. It was built by the city in order
to get the county seat away from
Union and rented to the county for
$1 a year for 15 years, which will be
up next year. In the meantime both
the city and county refuse to keep it
in repair.
Stopped at the famous Foley hotel,
where green ink is used, and Pat has
numerous other green tendencies.
A Salem company, among them a
brother of Ab Minton, are guarding
the railroad yards. At Enterprise ex
Judge Chas. Bilycu. now a prosperous
farmer, is a prominent resident, liked
by everybody. He has a farm of 600
acres only a mile of two out, going
to it daily in his auto, returning even
for his lunch. He has 450 acres of
wheaet in, 250 fall, 200 spring, in fine
condition. As wheat up there yields
30 to 40 bushels an acre, it is easy
to spell future prosperity for this nat
ive son of Albany.
A decidedly pleasant experience
was meeting Miss Olmstead, a former
May queen of Albany College, leav
ing there in 1912. for Washington
University, from which she graduat
ed, on the train, going to Wallowa,
to assist in a concert. She had her
ukelele and gave us several selections
with some songs, as charming a
young lady as when in Albany Col
lege. She asked especially about
Henry Vollstedt. Miss Olmstead is
teacher of music in Enterprise high
school.
The Enterprise Record-Chieftain
has the finest plant I have seen in
any city anywhere near the size of
Enterprise, including a new seven
magazine Merganthaler. Besides Ed
itor Cheney owns his own building.
He is contemplating starting a daily.
