The songs are mostly college songs and will very much augment the life and spirit of the school. t Our basket ball girls are working assid uously in the matter of preparation for the coming basket ball game with Pendle ton, which is to be played next Friday evening at Pendleton. They have-askec Mr. Williams to referee the game, and Mrs. Martin to be their chaperon. Shortly after the game with Pendleton the girls will play with Baker City at that place, and later the return game will be played here. At a recent meeting of the senior class it was decided by a unanimous vote to give a play between now and Commence ment time. It is their purpose to give "Merchant of Venice, Up-tc-Date," a play well fitted to the personalities of the class, and one which is sure to please all who are fortunate enough to hear it ruiumr iiiiuuikkhiiviiu wiii uv uuulm later.' ' ' Florence Boory and George Currey are still out of school, but hope to re-enter next week. Examinations will be in progress this week. Children who for any reason, fail to take the examination, wilt be examined on their entrance by the superintendent, inasmuch as teachers will be too busy. Misses Bunnell,. Snider and Woodruff have recently given off-hand addresses before the Senior history class. - Mesdames Eakin and Smith have been recent visitors at our spelling matches. On Thursday forenoon, from recess to noon, a spelling natch was held in the upper corrider of the High School build ing, between the A-fifth grade, taught by Miss Harris, and the B-sixth grade, taught by Miss Brenholts. It was an interesting match and was won by Charles Harris, of the B-sixth -grade, on the word mortar. Hazel Young was the last to go down in the A-fifth grade, missing the wqrd sir loin. . .-. ' Miss Kuhn's and Miss Rohan's seventh and eighth grades held a spelling match after recess in the afternoon on Thursday.

' On Friday afternoon - after recess,1 a spelling match was held between Mr Snider's B-fifth and. Miss Harris' A-fifth resulting in a victory for the A-fifth. Irene Lyman -was the victor over both rooms, by spelling sorrel correctly. Ed ward Roberts was the last to go down in Mr. Snider's room. The spelling contests will be continued until better spelling has been secured, or, at least, until there Is an evidence of im provement -,. Our boys were defeated at the last basket ball game with the Militia boys. Messrs Clare Gillilan and Elton Jackson were guests at the High School literary society last Friday afternoon.

To the business men of La Grande, The year of 1906 promises to be a banner year all over the coas and inland territory. - - The Louis and Clark Fair caused many eastern people to come .and look at our country. The sight was pleasing to their eyes; it awoke their curiosity. '. They have commenced to investigate the con ditions and prices of what can be bought The real estate agents have to the best of their ability tried to show up the ad vantages of the country but it is a very weak showing they are able to furnish of this grand sUte unsurpassed by none un equaled by very few. bnt the people must be educated up to this fact, and the men who only get a small fee in commission , for the sale of a small piece of property in this city or county cannot alone do justice to this country. I say the business men should join us in letting other countries know that we are on earth. Take other cities around us and see what they are doing to attract attention. Lewiston, Walla Walla, Pendleton, North Yakama, Baker City and other towns with not half our resources are. striding along while we sleep. How do they do it? well, you take a trip around the oountry and you will hear people talk, and if you visit any ui mm mun you wiy imiow more about them than you do of your own city, La Grande. They collect all the information about their country and city and put it on paper. They see that-) it is placed where people will read about their towns if they want a lot in it or a farm near it. After they get a home in ar near your city the business men sells to each family and gets more profit each year than the real estate agent out ' of the home he sold to this family. To fig ure, the business men, they get as much profit from immigration as the real estate men and should therefore share the ex pense of writing up this part of the coun try, if you wish to share part of the trade chat is coming west , " , v . Nature has dona more for this country around La Grande than any other section I have ever seen. Spreading out to the east from our city is the beautiful valley sixteen by twenty-five miles of , garden and orchard lands, on which there should be a thousand where . today there are a hundred homes! Back of , our city arid surrounding this valley are the mountains of pine casting their blue shadows over us; a beautiful irame around a very pleasant picture only needing the artist hand to produce it on paper and scatter it broadcast over the land, with a fair dis- cription of all the resources of the coun try, to cause hundreds of eastern people to flock to this country instead of going to other lands. This is not an real estate ad, its for the purpose of having the business men help advertise the country and themselves also, and a writing up of this oountry by a Commercial Club or a business man has weight with the prospective settlers that would be termed as wild cat schemes of real estate sharks. Have you money enough, or too much trade so you don't want any more eastern - people to come here? If not think this ever and push it along. Yours Respectfully, G. H. Powers fOUND DEAD. Found dead on the top of a hay stack in a held on the lower tiaidocK rancn about 1 0 o'clock yesterday was the body of J. A. Ritras cuarded bv his faithful dng from the attacks of vultures. .The discovery was made by Camp .Tender Fox and at the bottom of the hay stack was the team of horses which had been standing there since 7 o'clock the morn ing before, when Riggs started out on his regular feeding trip. Riggs was in the employ of the ranch er and it was his daily custom to feed the stock. He had not been seen at the home farm since last Sunday. He lived in Baker City with his fami y, his wife being the daughter of a well known Baker county pioneer. She is a hard working women and Mr. Riggs was a hard working man. The sympathy of the public is with the wife and children in this, their time of bareavement Demo crat HALF THE WORLD WONDERS how the other half lives.

Prescription Druggist Milk Talk No. l. .... . ; ' ICHEAPJMlLKORMILrv:: CHEAP, WHICH? - Are you buying your milk cheap or are you getting cheap milk? That is the question which every ton- sumer should consider before . buying.

Let's see. if we pay $ 1 .60 for milk 2 containing 9.76 J solids, at the same price milk containing 16.26 solids should soil for $2.60, or Vou , oan to every three quarts of 6I milk add two quarts of water, making o quarts of 3 "milk,.
