RESUME WflR IN TWO WEEKS
OUR PRIMITIVE NEIGHBORS.
' Both Baker and Pendleton lately
have been pointing their index fingers
at La Grande and calling attention to
tbe large number of smallpox cases.'
This Is the privilege of either of the
; sister towns, but we would like to
tall attention to the hypocrisy that
prevails when a sister will yell small
pox In an adjoining community and
at the same time try to conceal her
own cases of such a disease. It very
much resembles the old cry of "stop,
thief", and will In the end react on
the city that practices It.
La Grande has a reputation for
play install games in the open, Includ
ing the business game. This city Is
not twisting the truth about smallpox
we tiave a few cases and we are
handling those cases Just as they
should be handled. La Grande has
reached a stage In her growth with
her number of transient visitors
when such diseases as smallpox are
liable to appear Just as they are
liable to appear in any city that Is
alive; any city that has ceased to be
a village and really has a rush of
people going and coming.
But best of all. La Grande does not

smallpox case appears. "Proper treat

and the wheels of business move
right along. No person ever stayed
away frra Portland or Seattle or any
other large city because there was
smallpox In the city, neither are they
staying away from La Grande and
the visitor Is Just as safe here and as
free from being inoculated with the
villages. of Baker or Pendleton and
perhaps more so. 1
