Just now an all-absorbing question seems to be whether our Commercial association, having fulfilled n good mission, shull biu allowed to pays out of existence, or he rejuvenated and l made, to do more good work for our elty and cominunity. Before making up our minds on this question, It might be well to review some of the work which our club tins assisted in accom plishing, and ascertHin if there be Any thing else that needs doing to promote the business and commercial welfare of our city or county. Most of our citizens know that this club was largely Instrumental In Be Miv.,n the u"r fuctory, the county fimi ln,! 1alm,'r Lumber mills and some &tJK '"or entcrprlse, but do they reaiixuMi it without such an organlxa- -tlon it Impossible tv accom Pllsh such Tes.IU."

'this city and valley, through the food work of the "Booster club," last i summer and fall were so thoroughly Advertised that It Is now undoubtedly , the most talked of community In east ern Oregon. t fame ts being heralded almost from ths Atlantic to the Pacific. Al ready the homeseekers are beginning . to pour Into our city and valley. Large enterprises like denatured alcohol plants, canneries, a Chautauqua asso ciation are Inquiring ubout sites and Inducements to come. A county high school la to be built, a road to the Car son mines, extension of the electric Toad to La Qrande, to be considered. Are we going to pass these up? Shall we allow our best means of handling uch propositions to die of stagnation jind want of support lt us hope not. The Chautauqua offer alono ir worthy of more than our best efforts, fluch an enterprise would not only bring hundred or possibly thousands of people to our city for a day. It Clothing Hats' Shirts Neckwear Shoes Hosiery Underwear Gloves, Suspenders 9 s lEAim DRY GOODS EMPORIUM AND TtMPLE OF ECONOMY OPERA HOUSE BLOCK would bring them for 10 clays. It1 might bring them for 20. It would not only give us the crowds, but would af lord us the opportunity to sec and icttr the highest Intelligence or the and. Not one day of entertainment. Instruction and recreation, but a week ir two, or three. The Commercla1 lob Is the best means through whlel o handle such a proposition. Are you vlth us? Come to the meeting ut tlx lub rooms tonight and at least lend s your moral support. There ma features of the club that we do not like. Let's discuss them.
