This morning's train brought in four
gentlemen from Idaho who are here

night 10 more are expected to arrive
and on Saturday a party of 11 will nr-
rive. ThoHe who arrived this morn

wide awake men. will doubtless be
able to find Just what they are look
ing for. They came here, as are u!o
the other mentioned, to arrive at the

There Is expected to be considerable

come, we have plenty of room fo
thousands of good citizens.
DEMONSTRATION TRAIN.
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.

where demonstrations will be made by
members of the faculty of the state
college and their plans to do away
with summer fallow of wheat lands.
The following will be the subject

Soil of the Palouse, Its Natural

cur"; "Remedies and Prevention";
How to Improve the Soils"; by Prof.

, Remember, there will be a meeting
of the citizens at the Commercial club
tomorrow evening to hear the reports
of the committees appointed on reor
gmnltatlon and membership. 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.

COVNCIL MEETING.
Recular March Sewdon Held Iat
Night Several Important Matters.
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.

Havina ourchased the Heacock stock of Jewelrv from the Trustee in Bankruptcy at a t
small per cent of its real value, it is our intention to dispose of the entire stock with
in as short a time as possible and in order to accomplish this result we have marked
down the original price to nearly
01-HAL
The Heacock stock is one of the largest and contains the most varied assortment of
strictly high grade iewelry in Eastern Oregon. 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
