.. A few took exception! to an
editorial paragraph made with
reference to the Baker City con
tingent who attended theElki
ocial on Thursday. The whole
thing was intended for irony
and in that light was compli
mentary instead of otherwise, as
it was Intended.

has now reached the talk stage;

thing doing.
The raiuy wo.'.hcr , it Port

visitors from attending the
fair. There is plenty of time
yet however.
It is . the . little things that
count if properly attended to.
The Commercial Club have re
cently accomplished two pur
poses and both were simply the
result of suggestion but such
mggegtions coming from a live
association have power. .
The Club suggested to' the
0 R & N Co, the advisability of
having a'l trains stop at North
Powder so those citizens could
visit our city. Since the new
order went into effect we have
bad many more business visi-'
tors from the southern portion
of the county than formerly. ) A
few weeks ago the club instruct-,
ed the secretary to see if the ex?
prc:s cer;py old be induced
to put on a delivery system and
this has been done. - ',

. From the surface indication it
begins to look like there will be
considerable activity for the
Republican nomination for
Sherift and it might not be a
miss to state also that several
Democrats have a des're to suc
ceed sheriff Pennington.
Already we are begining to
feel the influx of eastern money
presumably the effects of the
fair. This is made manifest by
the unusual number ot one and
two dollar bills in circulation.
We dare say that most of our
mercantile houses as a usual
thing rarely ever handled more
than three or four such bills
during the yer, prior to a few
months ago. Now they are be
coming quite common.
Under tbe initiative law our
people must educate themselves
to the (act that simply because
a law is petitioned for that, it
should be vited fr. Ou the other
hand because thev have not
. taken the trouble to inform
themselves with reference to it,
that to be safe they must vote
against it. The people must
begin to keep up with the times
and keep informed as to the
merits and demerits that they
will be called to pass upon.
