SWATS BAKER QTT ANOTHER MIGHIt SWIPE Th Vergers Telephone company of La. Grande and Union is now busily en- gaged on the construction of new tele phone line to Medical Springs and Cornu copia. J. B. Ford, in speaking of this to the Democrat remarks: v "The new line will put us in direct com munication with Union and La Granda ' and of course we will buy our goods in those cities for the reason that we will be ' m direct communication with them. Tha railroad from Union will reach the Indiana ' mine before snow flies, and if anyone thinks we are fools enough to stage it to Baker when we can travel to Union in a comfortable coach they are mistaken. Our people are already establishing friendly relations with the merchants of Union and La Grande and as soon as the new road is completed many of our people will move their families from Baker Citv to Union." Our sister cities may not have gold mines, but they have enterprise enough to go out into the world and capture the mining trade of other cities, which is just as good." Baker City Democra t.
