Now. that the Commercial club has been reorganized, and has no other business than to pur.h propositions that' will result In benefit to the city, this Mck of a directing force will no longer be felt. '.The road In question, which is needed, and which will bring considerable trade to La Grande that Is now going to lorth. Powder and Baker City, bids fair to be built. stockholders of the Aurella mine, who, with the interests owning the Indiana , mines, are greatly Interested In the question, started up the river and will make it their business In the very near future to examine the proposed route, determine upon its feasibility, and make, through the Commercial club, recommendations to the county court It is not proposed to ask the county to build the road, but the mat ter must necessarily be handled through that body. . I The Commercial club has secured from E. C. Moore of the Eastern Ore gon Colonizing company, the building used last year for housing displays of our products, and will put It to the same use.

The head quarters of the publicity campaign, as told before In this paper, are not definitely settled upon, but the club rooms will be temporarily used for the purpose.
