La Grande a gas plant.
Fred B. Currey, secretary of tne
Commercial club, called the meeting

expressed their faith in the proposi
tion. F. J. Holmes, who is a stock
holder in the new company, said he
had investigated the proposition to

had made an investment in the stock.
He has made a research of the gas
made from sawdust and wood and is
satisfied that it is of commercial
value.

moveT.ent. He also has an investment
in the company's stock. .
