There are quite a number of people
In this city who Would soon become
enthusiastic over a proposition to
cure a Carnegie library. This Is
worthy of careful consideration. A
great many cities In the northwest are
embracing this offer. On the othei
hand, there ae many place who have
investigated the plan and have decid
ed that their conditions will not war
rant the expense of maintenance. It
might be well to look the mutter up
If It should prove feasible, It would
mean the erection of another large.
substantial building.
ah evaporating plant and cannery
should be one of the Industries that
should be established In this city
during the present year. It would not
require a very strenuous effort on the
part of an active commerclul body to
secure such a plant. This would pro.
vide a market for quite a portion of
the fruit that would otherwise be
marketable. It would also furnish
another payroll an.l would he a dlvl

There I a splendid opening here
in La Grand for a fruit house. This
is the fruit center of the county. We
have the fruit, the volume of which Is
Increasing each yeur. All we need Is
the firm with the necessary capital
and experience. This field wilt un
doubtedly be occupied before It Is
time to move the next crop. '
The registration In Union county
predict a lively primary election.
This is as It should be. The voters are
