Freight Receipts Show Business In.
creaSe

More evidence of the ever-expand-
ing thrift Of La Grande as a business
center, is given by data compiled by
l.. F. Massee, local agent for the Pa
cific Express company.
His report for the year ended De-
cember 81, shows that freight ship
ments for the pear 1907 exceeded
those of the year 1906 by sSS62.25.
When it is taken into consideration
that this amount is for freight rev.
enue alone, or in other words, simply
packages sent and received, it is pos
itive proof that business is expanding
in this city. The figure given does
not include the revenues from money
orders. which are also much higher
this year than previously-La Grande
