-La Grande-Day
At the business mens meeting bald
but evening at tbe Commercial Club J
tbe proposition of La Grande arrang
ing to be properly represented at tbe
Fair on tbe day alioted which is June
13th, was disousaed at length.
There are eeveral reasons why this
date is net satisfactory to tbe county,
and if tbe county bad bad an oppor
tunity of selecting a date, the middle
of Jnne wonld m-vsr have been aelect
ed. Cironlt qnon will be in aeaaioo at
ibis time, which, will prevent many of
our prominent business men from at
tending. Again f Union county made
an effort to capture tbe fair for one day
we would natnrslly take pride in our
county exhibit there, and would make
it one of tbe day. '. Now, on June 13
we will have nalruits to exhibit, no
berries, eheniea or anything, but what
baa been kept over ia jars from' last
MMin. This mailt r was thoroughly
discussed laat even lug and It waa prac
tically decided that we did not now
have time to arouse au interest to se
cure a creditable representation for
this date. Mr Halktk ires' present,
representing tbe Lewis and Clark fair,
and stated that it was Im possible to se
cure a change of date and spoke of the
advantagee of mak iig a I howiog ao
oordiog to tbe official, program. A
committee vu appointed to visit the
people of tbe city and ascertain it they
thought it possible to arrange at this
late day lor auoh a showing as Union
ooonty could make if the circumstan
ces were favorable. , , . c-
There is no question but that if this
bonnty could get tbia date postponed,
that the county would arrange for a
Union county day; and would godown
there in force, and the way. we l'beei
pullers" would set a pace for our web
footed brethern would not be alow.
- This Fair offers aa opportunity for
ome first Class advertising, but to be
effective it will require some careful
preparation, and if given time we can
do it with credit to our aunty and
state.
