EQUALLY TRUE OF LA GRANDE Baker county people who con template going to the Lewis and Clark Fair and who are saving their money to make purchases in Portland rather than at home under the belief ' that batter prices can be obtained in Port land, are laboring under a great mistake . It is ssfe to say that those who are foolish euongh to do this will be the victims of a "gold brick." Just as fashion able goods and of as good qua lity csn be obtained from home merchants and at less prices than in Portland, especially when the Portland dealers will take advantage of the opportun ity offered by big crowds at the Fair to give purchasers any old thing at exorbitant prices. What do they care? They'll never see you again and if you are a suck er enough to fall into their net they will not lose the chance to fleece yon good and strong. Take the advise of the Demo crat and buy of your borne deal er whom you know is on the square. This will keep your money at home and add to home prosperity. The Lord knows enough money will go from this community for rail road fares without dumping much more into the laps of the department stores. Baker City Democrat.

Last nights meeting at tie Commercial Club, was well at tended, and there was much important business transacted. These meetings will work to the everlasting good of the entire county, and should not be al lowed to drop into disuse.
