SALES BRISK
MAXY CLUSTER ABOUT
AUCTIONEER. XARSEX.
Bidding at the First Public Market
Day Sole to Be Held In La Grande
Proved to Be Brisk Many Assem
ble at Klrt ley's Livery Stable to Bid
on targe Variety of Goods on Sale
Event Very Satisfactory to Promot
ers. Alternately wiping the perspiration
from his brow and crying out the na
ture and value of his wares. Auction
eer Martin Larsen this afternoon dis
posed of many fine articles for those
who wish to sell at public auction.
Clustered around him, enjoying the
sunshine, were many farmers who
clinked gold coins Involuntarily as
they shot the bids up, one over the
other.
The first market day sale has been
a satisfactory one. The auctioneer
coiynenced wltha plow and before he
was through horses, surreys, vehicles
of every description, In fact, and even
spinning wheels, have been placed on
the block and knocked down to the
highest bidder.
Women Intermingled with the crowd
freely. They apparently enjoyed the
Been'! of witnessing men trying to
down the other In manner and vol
ume of bidding to secure a certain
piece of goods, horse or Implement
suitable for fArm use.
The sales were held in front of the
Klrtley livery stables.
Opening the Fulr Grounds.
The formal opening of the L'nlon
fair grounds last Saturday and Sun
day was an event Of some local Im
portance and brought quite a number
of visitors to our city.
Saturday afternoon the business
houses were closed from 1:30 to 8
o'clock, that all might go to the
grounds. The Union band was pres
ent and- discoursed sweet .music for
the occasion. The exhibition of speed
advertised was confined to a few
spurts by local horses, creditable In a
way, but not up to the public expecta
tion because some races were antlcl
pated In which outside horses were to
take part.
The new grandstand is so situated
that It Is of little value to those who
wish to watch the ball game, but It
is all right for the race track. .
By the time another exhibition Is
given. It is thought that some of the
shortcomings of opening days will be
remedied-and the public will be bet
ter satisfied.
The management of the fair grounds
deserves credit for the work done
thus far In fixing up the grounds,
erecting buildings, etc., and It Is to
be hoped will be able to so conduct
the affairs at the grounds that each
successive meeting will be better than
the last Union Republican.
CANDIDATES WITH CAKE.
Candidates and Leading Republican
of tlie County Will Join rarty.
Next Monday morning at 9 o'clock
the republican candidates for office
and many republicans who are not
candidates, will meet at the Hotel Fo
ley In auotmobiles, to Join the Cake
party In a tour of political speeches
around the valley.

pacttles on the railroads of the coun

Include veterans both In and out of
the service. It Is expected that hun
dreds of "vets" from all over the
country will be here and that a per
manent organization will be effected.
Two Games Next Week.
According to present plans there
will be two baseball games In La
Grande next week In amateur circles.
One Is with Union high school and the
other with the Cove high. The latter
game will no doubt prove the most
Interesting as each team has won one
from the other, and lost at the same
ratio. ..

prohibition question In their Sunday
evening discourses at the Christian
and Methodist churches, respectively.
