Let every effort be pot forth to se
cure more manufacturing plants. The
field Is not limited In any sense of
th word. To secure the location of
manufacturing plants In La Grande
' will require some effort and a consid
erable expense, but the result Is Wor
thy of the work and the Investment.
In order to build a city It Is necessary
that the Inhabitants have something
to do, some means of earning a liv
ing. In our efforts to secure an In
crease of population we should con-
. elder this fact It Is true that we
; have lands to sell, but we should re
member, the simple selling of a farm
does not necessarily mean an Increase
of population. In many Instances the
result o fa farm sale Is that one resi
dent leaves the county to make room
for the purchaser. Let us endeavor
; to secure for La Grande a year around
market for labor an?! the land sales
will come of their own accord.

"1 Every one admits that the greatest
'aid to the upbuilding of a city Is the
number of Institutions which will af
ford a constant and reliable market
for labor. La a ramie has many ad
vantages to offer manufacturing en
terprises and no doubt tho La Urnnrte
Commercial club will use every means
within Its power to make our erivnn-
iRgos Known to manufacturers. To a
large degree tho growth of La Oramle
