tion campaigns La Grande has seen !
fit to tell the truth, refuse to be tak
en off her feet because some sucker
paid $2,000 an acre for an apple orch
ard in Hood River, and carefully culti
vated her field and her industries as
they should have been cuiii.aicu.
Today she is healthy but not boom
ing. There is good business here, but
the field is well covered or will be
when the new buildings now in course
of construction are filled, which Ihvy
will be. This means, plainly speaking
that La Grande needs no more business
concerns when the roems now under
lease are occupied.

has always had the unfortunate hibit
of trying to tell the truth about busi
ness conditions as well as every-s
thing else, and we will say to the man
who wants to go into business in La

ness a're&dy established for there is
not at the present time room here for
