DRILL FOR
OIL SOON
An Incorporation aiming at eventual
clearance of debt hanging over the U
D. 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.

MARKET DAY
February
'.AND.
"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

A defective flue Is again responsi
ve for a damaging fire In this city.
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.
X., In order that all who wish to at
tend the annual Christian Endeavor
convention at Eugene may do so. The
convention will be held February 20
to tS. For additional particulars see

LOW RATES
FOR BAKER
rvninibwlon Arrived.
P. C. 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. To elect Cnlted States senators
by a direct vote of the people.
3. To bring all possible Influence
to bear upon our delegation in con
gress to secure an appropriation for a
public building to accommodate the
United States land office and poatof
flce In La Grande.
4. To use all reasonable means to
prohibit foreign Immigration that
would prove detrimental to our Amer
ican people.
6. To use my best endeavors to pro
mote the best interests of our people,
physically, socially and financially.
6. I am In favor of electing a gov
ernor of the state and let him choose
his cabinet, the same as the president.
7. I believe the time has arrived
when the legislature should take ac
tion to harmonise capital and labor.
8. Opposed to taxation without
representation.
