Is a deficit, but when you consider
that during the year 1451 were ex

balance on the right side of the ledger
to the extent of 11215. With the high
prices paid for fuel during the year,
this is not a bad showing.

CITY CHURCHES
THE CIVIC LEAGUE.
Articles have been recently printed
under the Oom de plume "Taxpayer,"
and otherwise, asking the question:
. "What In the Civic League?" To which
. a reply may be made that the Civic
league is an organisation of citizens
of La Grande, who believe In the en
forcement of laws now In existence,
and the enactment of additional legis
lation designed to elevate the standard
of citizenship. All men who believe
in these principles are respectfully
Invited to Join this organization. As
to the endorsement of certain candl
dates, the league acted after mature
deliberation, and in a manner believed
by It to be for the best Interests of the
city, and Indeed, with malice towards
Jione.
A more recent letter was written
and published, upon the writer's own
responsibility and without the knowl
edge of the league, purporting to be
In Its defense, and attempting to ex
plain the origin of the organization.
The league was organized at a mass
meeting at the Commercial club.
Called and largely attended by repre
sentative citizens, at which meeting
the Dr. Hudson mentioned, was not
present, and where the Civic league
was discussed and duly organized.
Borne of the members of the execu
tive board of this league are In favor
of a high and restrictive license, and
others believe In no license of the sa
loon under the local option law; but
they are all In favor of law enforce
ment and the enactment of more good
and wholesome legislation. The Im
pression made by the late communi
cation Is misleading and does not show
an accurate knowledge of the facts,
although the author, no doubt, had
the best of Intentions.
The endorsement by the league of
a candidate carries with it no addi
tional virtue, nor does It Ignore the
mistakes of officials, and the belief
that another candidate Is thereby con
demned and maligned Is surely a most
ridiculous conclusion.
The aim of the Civic league Is to up
hold, and endorse correct principles.
and all efforts toward better govern
ment Not only In its members, but
in all persons who believe In the poli
cies, and have shown a desire to en
force the laws and give us a cleaner
and better city.
The financial statement published in
this Issue by Expert Accountant H. V
Oliver, under the direction of the city
council, shows that the expenditures
of the city during the past year, or
rather to February 1, In round num
bers, Is 111,000. Whllo the figures
are correct, In the absence of the facts
one might be deceived that the cltyi
had nothing to show for this apparent
deflct. The sewer cost practically the
amount of the d.-tlclt, and In addition
to this Item, the city spent $7B for
cement sidewalks In front of the Fire
Department hiillillnar. and cement
corns-walks; M.10II whs also expended
in extending the city water mains; $1.
045 was expended on repairs to the
city pumping house, 1323 was expend

Items mlirht be mentioned and In tak

Of material and labor during a greater
portion of the period, a careful ob
server will note that the city council
during the past year has made a very
good financial showing. Another er

a casual reading of the financial state

Having purchased the Heacock stock of Jewelry from the Trustee in Bankruptcy at a
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
OK-HMJ P
77ie Heacock stock Is one of the largest and contains the most varied assortment of
strictly high grade jewelry 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 not jewelers, and do not expect
to become such. We simply purchased this stock as an investment and in order to
make it a satisfactory one 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 call at the store will convince you that we havemarked prices down to the limit.
