Lemons in the local market hare
reached a top notch price 18.50 ; a
box and the end Is not in sight They
are now selling In the local market
for 40 cents a dozen. Tbe supply Is
so limited that It is not at all unlike
ly that the price will be almost pro
hibitive. The delirious drink may be
on the forbidden list this ' summer
unless "the tariff on lemons is let
down on the fruit to allow outside1
products to come In and relieve the
situation.
On the other hand the price of su
gar has not been a- low in Ave years
as now. The local growers are pay
ing $571 for a hundred pounds and
are selling the same at $5.70. This
la for cash. Credit sales cost the-oute an equal, made by experts. We
purchaser $6.10. This new deal in want La Grande people to have the
sugar is the result of the promise l best there Is. so we offer you this line
or tne Democrats to take the tariff off, Ask to see Meritol goods. Tbe New

La Grande a Goad Towa. -
La Grande is a mlaty good town,
worthy of the best of everything.
That's why we have Joined the Amer
ican Drug and Press association and
offer to oar people tbe Meritol Mine
of preparations, made by tbe associ
ation and sold only through its mem
bers. There is nothing like these
goods, guaranteed in every way, with-

very light color thtit quickly attracted
the attention of tbe animate, which

among them. They alowly wobbled
their ears as they noticed tbe unfurled
white parasol of tbelr visitor.
Tbe young woman finished ber. In
pectlon and look- ber departure. As
sbe left the corral, she beurd steps be

mule following ber. while all tbe rest
T the animals were falling Into line
behind tbelr lender. ;
She was not afraid Indeed, she deem
ed fear quite beneath her dignity! But
sbe was startled, to say the least and
quickened del pm-e. : The mule Im
mediately lu tier . rear Inrrenaed bis
pace. too. and marched steadily along
with bis now lust tom hlnc the back of
the white parasol.
Then it was that tbe occuminfs of 'I
tne long row or omcera' quarters were
aatonisbed to wltuess tbe spectacle of
an extremely dlgulfled woman coming
op the avenue, at a gait that might be
termed a compromlml between ber dig
nity aud a dexlre to run. with a string
of army mulea behind ber; tbe bead of
each Just touching tbe tall of tbe one

steps are said to have exceeded tbe

TIME WAS
When There Was An Excuse For
using kerosene lamps. People thought, and
rightly too, that electric lights were beyond the
means pf the family of modest income.
Many people who really want electric lights,
hut who are unfamiliar with the progress in
electric lighting within-the past few years, slill
hold to this belief.
If you are one of these, ou will he agreeably
surprised to learn that electric lights are now
within the means of every family in La Grande.
We are prepared to demonstrate to the most
keptical, that they are the most economical
light to use.
