Baker City is to vote on the com mission form of city government, and it is not a bad thing to do. Under the commission form men ape paid for looking after the city's business and report to the people at intervals There never was a man who served on a city council and made good, who did not earn a good salary, but ac cording to precedent the positions are purely honorary and frequently that !n name only. This paper is In receipt of a conv munication from a former La Granc2 man who is now in old Mexico. The communication tells of great pos bibilitles in that country and in a way urges people here to go to Mex ico, if in search of health and money We cannot print stub matter for we cannot conscientiously agree with the brother who is so Tar away from? borne, friends and God's country. .Ve believe Mexico may be, a good place to invest if one knows what be Is do Jng, but we further believe that Union and Wallowa counties can beat Mex- - ico as a place for investment, can beat it on climate; we know better people, Jive here than reside In Mexi co, and we therefore fan see no rev 'son why anyone should want to ieave this best of all sections of Ool's country to associate with the Greas ers and live under a foreign fla.?. f if inv nerBOn In I -a Grand3 '.t thinking of going to MmIbq t? resJ4, . we ask tbat the person first take an extended trip through that countr. Eat at the Mexican joints, Bleep In a Mexican bed and associate with te slow-going inhabitants. We will bet dollars to doughnuts he will return i" La Grande and hunt up some of the real estate dealers with a requejt to find him a home where he can enjoy life. Mexico might be all rlht for the extremely adventuresome, and it Is always all right for the man who feelB better when he Is oat of tho United States. The per cent of Ameri cans who feel that way is very small, we are glad to say. Plenty of water on the Grande Ronde "Valley will cot only increase land values but it will double the population of La Grande in less than three years. Gospel truth.
