ing the past week. In an interview,
Mr.. Simons said that the trip was
made to get in touch with investment
opportunities in this state where much
Holland capital comes at present thru
agencies in the east. He said that
as soon as the Panama Canal is
built, line of Dutch steamships will
be established from Holland to Pa

bring this section in close touch with
that country and her people.
The Importance Of the hog as a
mortgage litter has never been more
evident than now. The hog market
at Portland has advanced recently
from s7.75 to $S15 per 100 pounds
for suitable fat hogs and packers say
the supply is practically NIL. The
hog raising industry is one OF the
most lucrative to which farmers OF
the Northwest can turn their atten'
ton, Oregon and Washington need
more hogs and offer good prices to
growers. Figures here are higher
than in the Chicago market and
there is every indueement for more
extensive hog raising.
Oregon is growing so fast that the

of historic old oak tree at st. Hell

First Excursion
Was Big Success
10 Coaches Filled With People from
La Grande And intermediate
Points.

Fully 1900 people were on the
train mems excursion Sunday to
Minam, Joseph and Wallowa Lake.
The first train of l3 coaches was
crowded when it left this city at II
o'clock, the crowd that got on here
filling two empty coaches. The sec
ond section that stopped at Minam,
also brought five coach loads to Jos
eph The crowd was composed large
ly of La Grande and other Grande
Ronde people. A large number came
from Wallowa and over 200 went up
from this city, nearly as many driy-
ing up as went by train.
The weather was perfect and every
body had a glorious time. Beautiful
Wallowa Lake never looked prettier
and the visitors were enraptured with
its loveliness and the exquisite sett-
ing of mountain and woodland. They
were mighty appreciative, too, of the
splendid hospitality OF the people OF
d
Joseph and vicinity, who furnished
free transportation from the town
to the lake, al the town rigs and
scores from the country being In ser
vice. The boats were filled all day
long carrying passengers to the head
OF the lake whore 500 people ate their
] lunches. A still larger number used
the pavilion erected at the foot o.
the lake for dining hall. Free cof'
fee was served at both places.
Hundreds stayed in town to see th'
ball games. The first one between
the Elgin and Cove teams was easily
won by Cove by score OF 9 to q
In the afternoon Wallowa gave JOS
eph an unmerciful drubblng, batting
Hallgarth at will, while Jimmy Hayei
held the Joseph hitters almost hitiess
Joseph flelded very badly. The score
was 10 to !.
The trains left on the return triI
between $3.50 and 6 o'clock. ohlS

that it was the third successive game
in as many days he had pitched.
1t was no fluke either. The Cove
boys are the best team OF batters in
the Eastern oregon league and they
hal their batting eyes with them.
Bilyea had fine support. both the in
field aud outfield gobbling all kinds
of difficult chances. The seven wob,

seem to tel a different story. but
the errors were made ON easy
chances. while all kinds of hard
ones were eaten raw.

second on a single by f. Mires, a
