S. cemetery In thla city, and giving additional Improvement to It, haa been formed and Incorporation papers have been returned to local parties from the secretary of atate. J. H. Jor dan. P. a. Taylor and C. J. Bluck are the Incorporators. About five years ago the Mormon church purchased the cemetery ad Joining what In now the Odd Fellows' cemetery. .The purchase price was advanced, .but was never refunded to the, donors. The plan of Incorpora tion Is (o'scll stock to all members of the ward, and as lots sell the revenues ' will revert to a dividend fund. As ' dividends equal the lot price, the lot again reverts to the church. In this ' way the I ip. S. body will soon have a cemetery out of debt and maintained ' to the besi'kdvantage.

"What Is market day, anyhow?" seems to be the topical question of the day through this county and It b comes more widely advertised, and to give Interested parties a proper Idea what It Is, Max Zimmerman, the famous horse auctioneer and original promoter of the market day celebra tion In this country, ano. who will per sonally oversee the handling of the coming market day here, says: There Is nothing new under the sun, and when It comes to market day, there Is not child In all Europe who doea not know what 'Mark Tag la, meaning market day In England. The child looks forward to the regular monthly market day aa any American girl does the first circus of the sea son. . No one stays at home on market day. Grandfathers, grandmothers, aunts, cousins and sweethearts and all the 'kids' go to town. It la a grand gathering, a meeting place for miles around, anu everyuuu seta uuzy 7,'S In town; handshaking, gossiping, visit - ng stores, as all merchants Invariably have big bargains to offer or rather bargain counters on that day. The men folks, too, get busy, while the women do the shopping. The men sell and trade cattle. Buyers from the larger cities are there to buy and, In short, tt creates a market anr gives the farmer the highest price fo: whatever he brings In to sell, as there plenty of competition, one outbid ding the other, and whenever there if competition there Is life In trade. Th armer soon becomes as busy aa the busiest merchant. It also Insures th farmer great bargains In the stores, n.- he stores make every effort to outdr the other on bargains. 'It has the circus skinned 40 wav nd I predict the largest crowd In La Grande on February 29, market, day, than was ever seen before In Oregon n a city of this size. "Market day is certainly a great thing for the city, the merchant am' the farmer, and the Idea is to hold .one here every month. Let no one stay at home. Help to boost the first f.ne."

Karly this forenoon neighbors detect- (1 smoke In the Rynearson residence it the corner of Fourth and Adami ivenne, and though the alarm was urned In with prompt response by thi lepartment, the fire had worked It self into the partitions and the roof, ind for the period of a half hour gavi the department a lively scramble for mastery. The residence had recently been re paired and renovated, so was occuplei by Adelbert Palmer, employed at the George Palmer mill. Mrs. Palmer has been ailing foi 'iimo time and has been confined to her bed much of the time. When aid oame to her rescue, the smoke had filled the room. Timely removal from the burning structure averted disss trous results aa Mrs. Palmer was un able to leave her bed unassisted. Neighbors lent willing hands, and as soon as Mrs. Palmer had been re moved to the J. M. Berry home, the furniture was carried out. With the exception of a few carpets, everything was taken out In safety. When the fire fighters reached the tcene, smoke was making Ita appear ances from all corners of the roof. Ignition had taken place near the kitchen flue and rapidly spread to the under side of the roof. When mas tered, the roof had been badly burned tnd the papering of the house thor oughly saturated wtlh water. Special Ratm. A special rate of one fare and third baa been made by the O. R.

Bramwell today received his commltuslon as register of the La Grande land office, and will r assume his duties next Monday morning. That Baker City will become one of the greatest wool markets In Oregon the opinion of those who are fa miliar with the latest developments In he rate situation, says the Baker City Herald. At the last meeting of the voolgrowors of Baker county a com mittee was appointed to act with the Citizens' league to secure a lower wool rate from Baker to Boston. The sheepmen have been In Portland con sulting with the O. R. & N. officials and have secured a rate of 11.75 from Baker to Boston. The Sumpter Val ley has made a rate of 20 cents from Austin to Baker and the reduction tty the two roads means that more than 1,000,000 pounds of wool from Grant and Wheeler counties will be hauled to Austin and then shipped to Baker for baling. bayville Is the present center of the sheep Industry In Grant county, and the ranchers would much rather haul their wool to Austin because of the good roads. ' They have been paying tl to have their wool hauled to Shanlko because of the lower rate. The shipping of the wool via Baker City will mean that Instead of the ranchers buying their supplies at Shanlko they will haul their wool to Austin, leave their teams there and come to Baker City to secure their warehouse receipts and while here purchase their supplies. By this means the local banks will handle $200,000 that would go to other cities. Of this large amount of money which the wool men will receive In Baker they would naturally spend much of.lt hero. Although the rate on wool Is still higher from Baker than from Shanlko the ranchers can afford to ship via Baker because of It. 1. HAMILTON'S PLATFORM. .R. D. Hamilton, who this week "an nounced his candidacy fur the nomin ation for representative before the re publican primaries, sets forth the fol lowing declaration of principles: 1, Elections to (be held in Novem ber Instead of June, thus doing away with the expense of two elections on presidential years. 2.
