There is considerable sentiment,
dormant at present, but would soon
become aroused. If steps were taken
to secure a Carnegie library. ' Baker
City has Just completed the foundation
for a $35,000 , building which Mr.
Carnegie wil? jay for. The stipula
tion for this donation being annual
charge for maintenance which the
city must provide for. In Baker City
this amount is $2500, but this amount
umicremnd, u cut down several
liundrcd dollars by having the pres
ent district state library tax diverted
to this , fund. This same arrange
ment could be secured here, doubt
less. We csn build cheaper here than
In Raker City, and this proposition
nhould appeal to several classes of our
people which, if merged properly,
would result in La Grande not only
having a fine building which we would
a'1 be proud of, but a library for all
time to come. Think it over, and let
ome interested In the matter write
Mr. Carnegie and ascertain definitely
Just what his conditlonu are.

These are the morning when we be
