(0 be believed at first thought, is the
announcement of Max Zlmmreman,
who has been petitioning the La
Grande business men for attractive
reductions that will attract farmer
to La Grande on the initial, market day
In its history.
Since yesterday morning he has
called upon the principal merchants
and before the campaign closest every
business man will be asked to make
reductions for that day on certain
lines of goods and wares. .. , v
He Is meeting wit success; and
from present appearances the farmer
of Union county cannot afford tJ miss
the opportunity of seeing La Grande
on that day and Inspecting the marked
down goods and wares that will be on
exhibit One thing will be marked
way down in one store and la the
next establishment some other line ot
vnnilx will he riven the ax. ......
The result la equity to all, and will
necessitate shoppers going the roundi
on market dty.
Up to noon today the petition had
the following names attached to It, all
of whom are to make some reduction
In price of goods, wares or otherwise,
on that eventful day:

Spokane, Wash., Feb. 19. Owing to
the numerous hold-ups, street car
robberies and burglaries, the city will
In all probability Install an auxiliary
police alarm system of some sort. The
police find It impossible to cope with
the band of outlaws now In the city.
The entire police force, counting chief,
captain and sergeants, numbers only
50 men, to police a city of 100,000
people. .'
Some of the policemen are said to
be doing a remunerative business in
lawyer's fees. Complaints have reach-
d officials of the alleged grafting of
certain members of the force, who
make arrests, then notify the legal
man of whom they are agent. The
lawyer then comes around, collects a
fat fee, and divides with the police
man. Policemen, tt Is said, add seri
ousness to some petty offense, and
while the prisoner Is In a frame of
mind consequent to the policeman's
view of the case, the lawyer arrives,
and on the pretext that some friend
of the prisoner sent him, secures the
case. If the prisoner had money
when arrested, he la usually willing
to give the . lawyer an order for the
amount. In many cases the fee Is ex
orbitant for defense of a petty of'
fsnaa. An Investigation la on, and
certain police officers may be sua.
