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

A man from La Grande was
assiduously circulating a peti
tion in Union one day last week
to invoke the referendum iur
the purpose of repealing the
general appropriation bill of the
last legislature. That would
knock out the money set apart
for the Union Experiment Sta
tion and the La Grande District

important business transacted.
These meetings will work to the
everlasting good of the entire

few more meetings like the one
last evening will soon place the
Commercial where it should be,
in the lead of all other similar
organizations in the State.

That Los Angeles rainmaker
can never oomplain that he was
born unlucky. He get up his
apparatus and agreed to deliver
18 inches of rain tor the south
ern portion of California before
May 1. The wind blew and
the rain fell. The gauges
showed the required amount
had been poured upon the soil,
and the manufacturer of cloud
aud storm has been paid his
stipend. He washed out somo
miles of railway and caused
much other damage, but the
country got tin rain and he got
the cash. The next time he
starts his plant he will have to
ask for enough money to be
able to pay bills for damages.
