One week from nxt Saturday vot ers of La, Grande school district No. 1 will be called upon to decide on whether or not we are to vote bonds to the amount of $75,000 for. the im provement ' of our present schools, add for the construction of a higb school building. " Every voter, ( in view of the fact that a committee of the Commercial Club appointed for the special' purpose of examining in to our present Bchool facilities which they did and made a public report, , 'stating that our present schciol build ings were not properly furnished and aiulpped and were overcrowded. Thus we say in view of the above facts every voter owes it to himself . to personally investigate our schools before voting this bond Issue down. This committee was composed of men who pay large taxes and are deeply interested in the future well fare of the city, and several of them npon examination reversed their for , mer opinion. Mr. Voter, if you thing our public school buildings and their equipment is in keep ink with other progressive , cities of our class, an examination in comparison wltb , such cities as Pendleton, Baker Cl.y Albany, Medford, Ashland, McMin vllle, Grants Pans and others will show you your error. Prof. Bragg In his address at the Commercial Club banquet Monday night stated that the extra tax would only amount to 80 cents on the $1000 assessed val ue. Union county sends more stu . dents abroad each year than either UmatlJJp or Baker Counties. The facts will not 'vnrrnni; th statement our citizen nre more prosperous but investigation will show that the reason thereof lies in the fact that our schools are not up to the stand ard of either of the counties men tioned. debts and pay it out on the install ment plan. Did it ever occur to you that you should become a member of the La Grande Commercial Club which has done so much for, this city and con. v and which is still doinsr miehtv big t8 'or thls c0nty V , It is no nn?ommon Mug 'for ci ties of this size to have 300 member enrolled uoon the , j??1 worship of their commercial organizOM- L Grande has the record of maintain, ing a club the greatest number of years and enjoys a-record of. suc cesses that few cities can equal, yet the afct remains that in comparison with other places we doubtless have the smallest membership. This con dition has been reached because our businessmen and property owners have simply become careless. Do not wait for several busy business men in the' shape of a committee wait upon you for your membership. Step up to the headquarters and sur prise the secretary by telling him you want your name placed on thi roll of honor. ' It may( surprise .American readers io know, that this' country, in spite of Its enormous production of wheat, has for the second time been sur passed by Russia, which last year raised 46,000,000' bushels more than the United States There has been an , increase jn wheat production all over the 'world. The latest crop was one-fifth larger than that of 1908. The recent Russian crop was the greatest , pyer produced by any one country. " . ' . . , B,ird foyers in Europe have noticed that whenever there is a contest be tween flying machines the birds in the vicinity disappear. They evi dently look upon the flying mach ines as huge birds of prey. If fly ing machines shouK become common the birds would grjw accustomed to them, as even timid horses learn that a trolley car will not hurt them. '' ' '4 STEWARD OPERA HOUSE .., ,. .. ' ..

Ciirr, president of the Mer chant'B Protective Association, in his address before the Commercial Club banquet emphistzed a fact that that organization should strive to bring before the people In no uncertain terms, and that 1b that the organi sation was not formed for the pur pose of forming a combination in prices but Its sole, object. was to come to a mutual understanding re garding the extending of credits and that if the people genernlly under stood this they would appreciate its efforts, for In a city like La Grande where credits are extensive a system which reduces the losses to a mini mum means a lowering of prices.
