Since the tax roll has been turned over to the sheriff a few weeks ago, over $25,000 In taxes have been paid in. This Is several thousand dollars In excess of the amount paid In lam year, which shows that we are a good long way from being a bankrupt community. Old Grande Ronde Is one of the garden spots of the northwest. Tet It Is sad to know that of the hun dreds of homeseekers that are now (tiding through the city, so few know anything about Grande Ronde. They are not to blame. They are desirous Of learning, but we have taken no teps whatever this season to Inform them of our resources. Left Pullman Thl Afternoon to Tout KuMtent Washington. Pullman, March B.

Every property owner and business man hould be In attendance at this meet ing. We cannot afford to permit this Commercial club, which has done so much for this city and county, and is capable of doing so much more, to pass out of existence. There Is no necessity whatever of this being the case. Come out tomorrow evening and see that you bring a friend along with you. Proper tire escapes on the public school buildings of La Grande might prevent a repetition of the horrible catastrophe which resulted In the loss nf life to ho many school children In Ohio, as chronicled In last evening's Observer. i.

At the regular monthly meeting of the city council held last night, a pe tition signed by 8. V. Kelts and others, setting forth that at the present time there were three carloads of gasoline stored In a building In the western portion of the city along the T, for merly used as a planing mill, which the petitions set forth are a menace to life and property In that district. After a free discussion It was ordered that the city attorney prepare an or dinance which will provide for Its re moval. Saloon licenses were granted to Julius Fisher and Pete Grant. The street superintendent was or dered to construct a 24-foot bridge over Mill creek on Second street. A resolution to provide fot the con struetion of cement walks which wete not completed, lust fall within the ter ritory where such walks were ordered. A motion wns made to hiive a com plete financial statement for the yem Just ended, prepared and published. While the postofice department has refused the petition for a dally mail service from Enterprise to Imnaha Bridge, patrons whose Interests will be served have not given up hope and re newed efforts will be made, says the Wallowa Sun. The petition was re fused on the grounds that the receipts do not justify the added expense. It la now proposed for a rearrange ment of the Imnaha and Zumwalt star routes, by which a dally mall can be put on with but little additional ex pense. At present those two routes duplicate or travel the same road for 19 mile east of Enterprise, or to the southwest side of the Buttes, where the Zumwalt route turns north, while the Imnaha continue In an easterly direction. The change proposed Is to discon tinue the present Zumwalt stage and have the Imnaha stage turn north at the old junction for three and one half miles to O. W. Nell's place, where a postofflce would be established. From there the distance to Imnaha bridge Is about the same as from the present junction to the bridge 14 miles. rot, with the French Anarctlc explor-, Baty on board Ing party, headed by the Ralter, Du- were preparing to land at Kergeulenf game, The DuBaty party Island at that time and hunt for blgr .

The stock contains a splendid assort ment of Watches, Clocks, Cut Class, Hand painted China, Rings, Chains and Lockets. The line of solid and plated silverware is as fine as can be found outside of Portland. Buyers will find that never before have the people of Union county been offered re liable iewelry at such remarkably low prices. We are notewelers, and do not expect to become such. We simply purchased this stock as an investment and in order to make it a satisfactoryjne we must dispose of it at once. We have made the price so low that we believe that within a short time the entire stock will have been disposed of. A caJaf the store will convince you that we havemarked prices down to the limit THE LA GRANDE MBTIHT CO, i 5 L.A ORANDE, OREGON An
