The J. G. Snodgrass grocery "tore is to move into the GangiofT building now being vacated by the Oregon Co operative company. The "Co-ops' are moving out now to occupy th Gardinier building adjoining the Ar cade theatre, and it will probably be a week before Mr. Snodgrass begins to move his shelves and equipment. The task is a big one .and will entail much work. "By the time we get shifted about in our new quarters we expect to have the finest grocery store in Eastern Oregon" said Mr. Snodgrass today in announcing definitely his plans to move. "The new store room is am ply large, the windows are up to date, and when our stock is moved in and arranged, we will have no hesitancy in saying that our store will be as at tractive as anv in the up-state dis trict." A long period of time has been put in the grocery bu-tinesis in the Stew ard building. Mr. Snodgrass began to learn the business with K. E. Ro mig in the place now occupied by the Harris Art store. This was 17 years ago. Shortly after that Mr. Romip moved to the Huntington block and from there back to the Steward building and formed the partnership of Grandy & Romig. This was 11 years ago. Staples & Romig succeed' d te former firm, and eight years age Mr. Snodgrais took over the business himself. Hence a 14-year term of business will have been concluded in one house when the move takes place. "I shall use the mezsnnine floor in the new quarters partly for rest rooms for shoppers and pstrons." announced Mr. Snodgrass today. "This will af ford conveniences long needed and we expect to make this feature attrac tive and convenient, even though thr cost be considerable. Removal Completed.

Haugh ton, local natural scientist, today in formed the world that goldfish have brains, Haughton owns an aquarium of trained goldfish which he snys 3 hns educated from a naturally low mentality to a high state of intel lectuality, thereby proving that gold fish have brains if one just takes the trouble to develop 'em. Haughton has trained his goldfish to answer the dinner bell. When he rings, the fis'i dart to the surface, their mouths wide open, for their daily feed. Haugh ton's aquarium is made of concrete, 12 feet in diameter and several feet in depth. In the course of a long period of instruction, Haughton says, the fish were taught to come to the surface in summer and to a hole in the ice in winter, by the ringing of u tiny bell. This is one of many evi dences of mentality that Haughton says the fishes show. THE PACIFIC PEFJRLESS HAWAIIAN'S TO BE AT "Y" TONIGHT. Entertainment Begins at 8:45 lo Give All a Chance. A musical treat is in store for the music lovers of La Grande, with the coming of the Peerless Hawaiian Players and Singers. The company has played in nearly all of the prin cipal cities in the west, and have just finished a two evenings engagement at Pendleton where they had a crowded house both evenings. Their singing is first class, and the instrumental music is in a class by itself. The Ha waiian music is full of sympathetic harmony, and when rendered by the natives themselves, is beautiful in the extreme. Through the numbers that iare rendered they take one, as it were, to the Island amid the palms, and there teach us something of the na jture and of the land in which they live. I The entertainment will start in the Y. , M. C. A. ubout eight forty-five, i giving the farmers a chance to attend I after their meeting this evening.

It is not our purpose, therefor, to dictate what you shall do or what you shall not do, but rather to con tribute our share to the common fund of information which is available for all and from which each may d raw as his or her judgment may dictate.
