prices of beef, .
The republicans are up, neces
sarily severe about the demo
cratic enthusiasm ojr Judge
Parker. After eight years in
the wilderness democrats have a
right to be hysterical. Baker
City Democrat.
The next big attraction will be
Ringling Bros cirous which will
be here in August. They always
draw a crowd because they have
the reputation of always having
what they advertise.
It is too late Tor tins season
but another year should not
pass without there being a fruit
canning establishment in opera
tion in this city. This valley
needs one and tbis is tb most
central piont in the valley.
Next year will see the comple
tion of the Morgan lake power
and water proposition which
means an abundance of cheap
power, and cheap power means
that the establishment of manu
featuring plants.
La Grande has certainly been
leading a streuuous life for some
time. We commence during
the county seat campaign, then
came pioneer day, the O. A. R'.,
the Fourth and this week a
circus and the carnival. One
continual round of pleasure. We
can congratulate ourselves that
the usual worry of an exoiting
presidential campaign from a
local stand point will not be a
very severe strain upon us this
year.
This county shbuld take
hold of the matter of having a
suitable display this year at the
state fair. The past two years
resulted in almost a total failure
from the fact our display did
not reach Salem until very late.
Quite a pertiou of the display
sent to the state fair could be
used during the Lewis and Clark
fair and we cannot afford to
miss that opportunity. This
county by reason of the 1905
fair has been taxed many thou
sands of dollars and the only
possible way for us to reap
returns on this investment, is
the advertisement we may
recieve from an exhibit, auch as
this county is capable of making
during the fair. Exhibits are
not secured in a day and we
should prepare for it this season.
Forty seven thousand dollar
reductiou in our county debt is
not a bad showing for Our
county . The fact is we are not
used to such sudden announce
ments but let the good work go
on. While the next six months
will not do so well, in fact if we
keflP e t six months
we will do well, at any rate
iuer wjh j,e a handsome reduo

county by the removal ol the
county seat to La Grande that
the debt will be still further
reduced duriug 1905. That big
debt which has been hanging
over this county for the psst,
decade will soon look like thirty
cent.
Something ha injected life
into the stock market right in
the middle of summer when
operator usually prefer to have
it maintain a quiet demeanor.
Quotation rise and rise. Wh
aver a flood of protit-Uki g !
tale i experienced, the maikel
absorbs them rapidly and goes
on quietly moving upwa.d. It,
looks ' as though (be gt-nt-r-l '
ptospesity of the country hud
dragged Wall street out of the
bole into which it plunged iih
it load of Steel, Copper, Ship
building trust aud other more
or leaf worthless securities. The
people who lost money in the
slump may nut have recouped
then losses, but others have been
making money which they are
willing to invest in the bargains
that the exchange has to oiler.
La Grande merchants who use
mile posts s . advertisements
along the road should see to it
that tnese posts are corect.
Many of them which state the
distance to La Grande ate not
placed with any reference to the
real distance from town. There
are therefore misleading to the
public. The mile posts when
correct are a great convience to
the public and are therefore good
advertisements, but when put
up just any old place they are
not of any value aud realy are
detriment to all concerned.
The county should place sign
boards at all toe road crossings
giving the distance and direc
tion to La Grande, and the other
towns for that matter. As a mat
ter of fact there is not a half
dozen sign boards in the county
wbow the direction or dislance
to La Grande The -La
Grtnde Commercial Club should
take this matter up and see thut
proper sign boardB are erected
and mantained. It is a simple
matter of business which should
be looked after and the
Commercial, Club is the proper
organization to take the matter
up. i

There is no doubt bat Bryan holds a

Ex United States Senator PettiKrew
of South Dakota, who was cbairmsn of
the Democratic delegation from that
state to the St. Louis Convention that
nominated Parker for the presidency,
voioes the sentiment ot many Demo
crate when in speaking of the set down
that convention gave Bryan, said :
"Intellectually and morally, Bryan
towered far above his opponontB. A
political party that would discard his
leadership for the leadership of Bel
mont and Hill and the former slave
owners of the Fouth certainly has not
exercised that judgment and conscience
that forebodes success."
