LA GRANDE'S LEADING DRY GOODS AND CLOTHING EMPORIUM
THE TEMPLE OF ECONOMY
The Spring season is on In earnest and everybody now knows who has the goods,
who makes the low prices. OUR GRAND OPENING of last week attracted hundreds of
peoplein fact we think every lady In La Grande and many from the country attended the
opening. All praised the splendid showings of merchandise and many made large pur
chases but there are still lots of good things left.
Everything in Piece Goods, everything in Ready-to-Wear. Garments at

especially so from the sixth inning
on, when he home team began to
gain slowly and take down the lead
that Enterprise had gained In the
second Inning.
Cryshaw went to bat for La Grande
and got to first, second and third on
errors. Crows wslked and Williams

La Grande placed its first tally on the

lowed the two tallies for this Inning,
Crowe ending the session by striking
out one, two.
Ferguson walked In the first of
the second half and Kooser got first
on errors. Button slammed a two

came in and Cryshaw got first again

him. Then the scoring ceased as far
at La Grande was concerned, but En

It was one, two, three order generally,
for both teams, until later in the
game, when La Grande pulled up, be
ing two points behind, and two men
on bases In the ninth. The timely hit
failed to materialise.
The limited crowd enjoyed every
minute of play. The anap and vim
necessary in the game kept attention
at a high pitch.
La Grande players surprised them
selves as much as they did the audi
ence. With a whole winter's practice
to tneir credit, the visitors, with the
. exception of one Inning, showed no
better team work than the home
players, who have been organised
within the month. The Enterprise
catcher Is easily the star of the vis
itors. His. work is spectacular and
constant. i v s

thing that came his way. The game
tonight promises to be a hummer.
There will be a slight change in the
line-up and with the experience gain
ed last evening, the home team will be
in position to forestall any duplication
of the second Inning last evening.

HARD LUCK
fOR mm
Two army officers on their way to
Spokane, were left In Baker City by
yesterday morning's westbound, and
to get to their destination In time, or
dered a special- train from La Grande.
An engine and caboose waa sent to
Baker City, but It had bad luck com
Ing back and did not reach La Grande
until 6:20 last evening. A better en
gine took them on to Pendleton last
evening, where they could make con
nection with a 8pokane train.
The men were evidently pressed
for time, and seemed nothing daunted
j by their frequent mishaps. The en
gine sent from La Grande to Baker
went dead and the Telocaset helper
had to bring them to this point.
