This will work a hardship upon not a
few of the large trusts of the country.
However the trusts have no one to blame
for this state of affairs but themselves.
Their insatiate ' greed has led them to
stop little short of anything to accomp

price of the raw material as well as the
price of their output. The natural law of
supply and demand has been set aside.
There is a limit to everything and the

The legislature meets within a few
days. If Union county is particularly in
terested in any one law more than another
there has been no public expression of
the same.
As will be seen by this issue there was
no great amount of labor spent in what
might be considered an attempt to get
out a special new year's addition but a
simple presentation of a few of the in
dustries to show that La Grande is on the
map and will remain there.
