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

pay their taxes at either of the city
banks, as per notice sent out by the
sheriffs office, th banks Issue a per

department, the payee should go to
the bank in which he paid the money,
and not to the sheriffs office.

is in going to the officials. The coun.

to the banks and there the taxpayer
must get his r?celpt. Attention to
