When notice was first given that the creditors had made a demand fo their money, It was thought best to maka an effort to reorganize the fl nnnclnl holdings and malntuln the or ganlzatlon. Committees were appoint ed to suggest a financial plan which were adopted at a general meeting also a committee to secure member ship, 800 being the mark besought to secure a permanent basis. Business appointments prevented the member ship committee from making Its can vass at the designated time, and thi matter dragged until It became evl dent that the business men, property owners and others were not In accord The business men, or at least quite ( number, were In fuvor of 'maintaining commercial club pure and simple, not to be associated with athletic feat ures. Some who favored the athletic features thought It best to have an athletic association separate from any commercial measures. As a result of the conflicting Ideas the matter drag fed along until the forocolsure pro ceedings were Instituted. There are number of persons who are thinking: Of forming a Y. M. C. A., and If this is formulated, the Commercial club building muy be thus utilized. It Is evident that La Grande will not long be without a commercial body.atshe body, as the business men are strong ly In favor of such an organization for this purpose, and steps will undoubt edly be 'taken along this line. It will require very little effort to have an athletic organization perfected, and In case the Y. M. C. A. plan does not ma terialize In the near future, an athletic organization will be perfected. Now that the climax has come, the inactivity of our citizens will be made manifest within the next few days, and Just what the outcome may be re mains to be seen. . The thousands of Sunday schools of the I'nlted States yesterday taught the uniform temperance lesson. For years the actual results of labors along this line was Indeed slow and Maine stood practically nlone. ns an object lesson of what might be accomplished. Ihit It Is different today. Statistics compiled every 30 days, cannot keep up with .the onward march of the .movement, . until a news Horn In the press that 2o t..vu In this state, or 60 counties In that state have gone ."dry."-causes Utile comment or -surprise anymore. .The superintendent of the Metho dist Funriuy school In this city yester day displayed it largo map of Oregon, with Hie nine "dry" counties of the state heavily bordered In red. As six of these counties are contiguous: Til lamouk, Yamhill, Lane, Linn, Lin coin and Itenton. It made a showing that was aMTprlsIng to not a few of the many present. By following the borderline of this district, a person could travel o leas than 450 miles, and still be In a county wherein the saloon had been banished, never to I turn. xne other three dry counties i . . . I cftfc at present are Sherman, Curry and Wallowa. A change of less , than 100 votes would have placed the counties of Malheur, Coos, Gilliam and, Morrow, along with the other nine. At the coming eelctlon certainly no less than half of the cpuntles of Oregon will wipe out the saloon, and at the rate of the present rrvAt'i cf temperance Oregon will ibe "dry" much sooner than we realize. - April 7 Is the last day to register for the primaries.

Thursday, April 9, will be an event that will be especially Interesting to the Catholic of not only Baker City, but all over eastern Oregon. The oc casion will be the dedication of the new St. Frances de Sales cathedral In Baker City. Rt. Rev. C. J. O'Reilly. D. D., bishop f the eastern Oregon diocese, has an nounced the event to the clergy throughout the northwest, and many dignitaries of the, church are expecte to be present, including Archhlsho: Christie of Portland, and tho Rt. Rev John P. Carroll, bishop of Helena, Mont. A large number of people from this city are planning- to be present at the dedication, j A I-ong Fight. Today witnessed the first saloon less day In Pullman in the history The last saloon closed Its doors at o clock last night. The will of th people has ,been carried out. During the last month that the one saloon has been In the field, It la reported that its business has been less than when the three were In business. Thli ciearty snows that when the town was voted "dry" drinking no longer was as fashionable as when the sentl ment was for liquor. Within a short time few will believe that they need liquor and those who accaslonally drank, will direct their thoughts along better channels. Pullman Tribune. Hmiu1 Your .Money at Homo.
