series of Saturday attractions that will
bring hundreds here, are two highly
commendable acts done by La Orande
recently, which will give more deslra
ble publicity to the city than most any
other medium. Our exchange table
demonstrates that the Items of mar
ket day, stock shows and of perma
nent organization of the Amusement
association which are proposed here
are liberally clipped and, printed in
the weekly papers. The populated
and remotely-located sections of the
state are hearing of La Grande ever'

It required a little coaxing to get
things moving right at the mass
meeting last evening, but with his
characteristic "stlck-to-lt" Toni Rich
ardson soon had purse string untied
and our business men responded no
bly. Those who were not there, were
placed on the calling list and will be
given a chance to see what ' their
brethren In business did do last nlifht.
and what they will do. Thirty-three
hundred dollars is a considerable sum
for an assembly of about 100 men to
raise. , Nice work. Let's stay with It!

O. R, A N. Answers Baker City.
A report from Salem states that W.
W. Cotton, attorney for the O. R. &
N. ha filed an answer to the com
plaint made fiefore the railroad com
mission April 1 by the Business Men's
association and Citizens' league of Ba
ker City. The discrimination protest
ed against by the people of Baker are
similar to those complained of by the
business men of Spokane in the case
before the Interstate commerce com
mission, though on a ttvuch smaller
scale. The O. R. & X, company,
through its attorney, denies the alle
gation made In the compallnt as they
apply to any discrimination against
the Jobbing Interests of Baker City,
and In effect denies there are any
large Interests in Baker City that are
affected by the rate now in force.

THE DEMAND FOR PROPERTY
RIVERSIDE ADDITION
NEAR THE BIG SAW
has become so great, that it has been decided to advance the price on lots in that
addition.
By comparing the prices at which lots in Riverside Addition have been sell
ing, with the prices of similar property in other sections of the city, it will be found
that lots in Riverside Addition have been selling at too low a figure.
Before advancing the price, however, it has been deemed only fair to give due
warning to those who have been contemplating buying, but who have been delaying
from time to time, therefore
TAKE NOTICE
that during the remainder of this month (April), prices will remain the same as here
tofore, but on the first day of May there will be a general advance of 10 per cent in
prices, therefore all those who wish to take advantage of this advance must buy this
month. ' -
Special Inducements will be given these who build this season houses cost
ng $1000.00 or more. .
