General Manager of N. P. la Dent. Bt Paul. George Good ell, general mi linger of the Northern I'aclflc rail way, died here of pneumonia. From Onte City Journal, Nyssa, Oct. 15. The Vale people have played their big cards at Nyssa. For nearly a week a crew from that town has campel on our doorstep pleading for aid, comfort and votes, winding It all up with a picture show and campaign speech session at the opera house. This en tertainment if such It might be called -was redeemed only by the excellent singing of Mrs. Dunlap and the inter esting recitations of Miss Bessie Hope. The speech of C. E. Helman, on be half of Vale, was but a replica In spoken words of the written campaign of vindication being carried on In the Enterprise. In It he construed ovory actios of Vale people since the begin ning of time as generouo and unselfish in the extreme, while characterizing the people of Ontario as "leeches and parlsltos" upon Malheur county. Throughout, It was a talk filled with assertions, with practically no argu ment to back them up. He read an affidavit from a Vale contractor stating the present court house was as good as new, and be littled the affidavit of Nyssa and On tario contractors who said they would build the new Ontario court house within the specified limit. He asked for Justice. Then stated the Vale people had mado a gift of the old court house to the county back In ante-bellum and Haiti It was not Justice for Ontario to glvo them a new and modern one today. He aald the Vale people had put up $3000 for the new Malheur survey of the high line, but did not say It waa their intention to beat Nyssa out of the whi .1.. thing at the time this was done. He claimed that when Vale wat building the branch line from that town to Ontario, the only way they could strong arm $8000 out of Ontario was to threaten to build to Nyssa In stead, but failed to explain why Nyssa was not given any consideration be fore such a threat became necessary. He becamo greatly Incensed In his talk regarding the bridge acress the Hnako river at Ontario tapping the rich fruit country of Idaho, which brings so much money from that state Into Malheur county, but failed to condemn the Nyssa bridge which was built for the same purpose, and which overyone hopes will some day fulfill its purpose when the l Hit k Canyon project Is eventually completed. There was much said about the un reliability of Mr. Turtellotte and his company, but Mr. ilumnieH's name was never mentioned and overyone knows It waa Mr. Hummel) of Turtellotte A Hummcll, who drew the court house plans. The assertions against Mr. Turtellotte were of no moment because It was merely a repetition of vague gossip picked up from unreliable sources. There were many more Inferences of tittle Interest to the people of Nyssa, regarding the terrible looters of Ontario, who are contaminated by their proximity to Idaho the gentle man seeming to forget that Nyssa by Its location must be similarly con taminated, and also absentmlndedlr admitted toward the last that he for merly lived In the wilds of Canyon county, Idaho. At the close a rising vote for Vale was taken, presumably with the in tent of publicly committing as many Nyssa people to their cause as possible and a few sympathetic, big-hearted ones arose lelurtantly when the fran tic appeals of the exhortern finally be ruiue eiuliarraHslng.

WILSON'S CABINET NOW ON THE STUMP OYER COUNTRY We are told that congress Is to adjourn in a few days now and that the president's entire political family are to take the rostrum in different states to picture to eager audiences the blessings of Democracy true and un deflled. It Is a good Idea. It ought to draw better than any other movie In the country. With the president to write the new dispensation and his cabinet to preach it, with Colonel Roosevelt as the chief trick pony, the air should be filled with political melody and the deep rhythm of profound political wisdom set to appropriate airs. A diapason should sound all along the line and fill the air with harmony. Some of the strains 11' be strident, others will only be chanted when the soft pedal Ib on. For instance, when a great crowd of the unemployed confronts one of these chief musicians demand ing work they will be softly told that the one offense that sends up to heaven a more offensive odor than any other is monopoly; that If a few la. iuru-.-have to be torn down or a tew rail- WORRY Wgm BACKACHE DRUDGERY AJLdSk. 0VERW0RK FOOT-WEARY , - 4 .''f .Tnn SoYr3 " SYSTEM DISCOURAGED flPBfess..'

ONTARIO, - OREGON roads smashed to kill It, the working men must bear the temporary afflic tion bravely ; that they must be willing to suffer a little that the land may be purified and its moral status Improved. If another crowd fills the air with clamors by beating their empty dinner pails, they must be told that after all eating la merely a habit and that there Is nearly as much nutriment in an Irish stew as in a thick and Juicy and not overdone porterhouse steak. When a threadbare gentleman in the audi ence wants to know where the cheap suits of clothes, all wool and no shoddy are, it will be convenient to inform him that the first installment must have been blown up by a submarine on the way over from France. When some financier asks them about the deficit in the revenue which was swelling dangerously even before the war came on In Europe, they will tell him triumphantly that the purpose is to make that up by Increasing the Income tax, that the burden may fall upon the rich and not the poor. When asked why American coast ships trading solely between American ports have been forced to pay tolls if they pass through an American built and owned canal, they will be told that American honor must be maintained, K every American ship on the sea is sunk or forced to rush to pieces iu American harbors. When asked about the Mexican situation they will be told that while it was true that our president saw American property in Mexico devastat ed, Americans Insulted, robbed and murdered, he thought it proper to con tinue a "watchful waiting" policy, but when a row boat carrying a smsll" American flag at the fore went off from an American warship In Tampico hsr bar to get the ship's malls, and the men In Uie boat were Insulted by Petty bandit In stolen uniform, th president decided that the flag was In sulted and that waa too much, so he ordered our Atlantic fleet to rende zvous at Vera Crus in order to compel what? Only to make a usurper off In Mexico City salute the flag. This will produce the first laugh la the meeting. But where they will grow strident will be when they tell of our great president and how he, backed by con gress, has at least given our land a new industrial freedom freedom to, to, to atarve.
