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

the birds would grjw accustomed to
them, as even timid horses learn

J. J. 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.
The honest debtorhas nothing to
fear, whatever from this organlza

and needs assistance this organiza
tion stands ready to help and during
its existence has helped many and is
helping some today. In not a fow in

pelled to seek relief through bank
ruptcy courts had not the associa
tion permitted them to pool their
