THIRD STREET BRIDGE It haa occurred to a number ot taxpayers of the city that it is bal economy to construct a temporary bridge on Third Street. The Highway Commission hss begun the construc tion ot the new concrete bridge on Second street and it haa become nec essary to have a bridge on Third treet to take care of the travel dur ing the construction period ot the new bridge. The city haa let it be come known that we will have a tem porary bridge only on this street. Information at hand ia that a per manent bridge could be constructei for very small sum additional to the cost ot the other, and if this is true, steps should be taken at once to change the plans and give us a bridge that will serve for a number of years rather than one to last until the new bridge is completed. This, is said, not In a spirit of criticism, but simply a suggestion to those in authority. If the permanent bridge ran be constructed with just a small additional cost, by all means let us have it. Labor and material are both pretty high to talk of sidewalks, but it's not too early to begin the plan for improvements in the near future. Some of our walks are not only an eye-sore, but are positively danger ous. Some of our people have, seem inriv rnrrnttpn a little experience the city had Just a few years ago. Lawsuits are bad things when you win and are a decided nuisance when you lose. It is none too soon to Iocs: j in which the apology waa made: Ma the stable.

A de bility is now, principally, on the In dividual officer rather than the city. Census returns from day to day tell a great and interesting story. It is surprising to the average man to know that most all the rural counties ' of the west have taken a decided ! slump in population during the last ! decade, while most of the cities and ! towns have made large gains. There Is a reason for this that should ap-' peal to the best thought of the coun- j try. It may be war prosperity or it , Day be rural conditions, but some-' thing is radically wrong with the gen-; ral scheme of things when every fel-! low seems to be wanting to move to ! town. ; j portecochere the French ambassador The new third party candidate for was in waiting for the ceremony.

What's the use of asking pertinent questions this late in the game? Why wait un til the fellows have had time to cov er the trail? Who cares, anyway, who got the Wood money.

It la expected that many matters of Interest to the tribe will be discussed at this meeting, but we venture that the biggrst Question in the minds of most of the boy Is how to get by with a big payroll and small patronage. Four or five grown men at Pen dleton last Sunday seemingly con spired and actually did commit cold- ! blooded murder. What about the ef fect of the Capital Punishment law? In this instance did it act' as a det riment?

The Crane American says we "will have coal for seven thousand years." So far as we are personally concern ed that is long enough. Weekly Sermons AWAITING THE DAY What can it mean but a renewal ot the late conflict? A German mob in sulted the French flag In Berliu The French demanded an apology. And here are the details of the way tachment of German troops was de tailed to salute the French flag as an apology for the recent insult, but they mutinied and refused to make the salute. Another detachment was assigned to undertake the job. A company of Keiscbwehr headed by a mounted captain without a sword, marched through the Brandenburg gate and swung in goose step to the French embassy, where they stood at rest v.!'ile the captain suspiciously rode his horse under the portecochere of the embassy and there halted, The order for attention was given and obeyed. The French sailors on the embassy roof hoisted the trt- color, on the roof of the embassy's I more aggressive to break through lines of police resulted in several casualties. But when the jeering ciowds that had been heaping the de tachment with abuse saw that th9 soldiers did not salute the French flag, but left off singing "Deutsch land Uber Alles," the crowds turned their sneers and Jeers into frantic cheers and Joined In singing "Deut schland Uber Alles."

THE HIGHWAY DECISION The recent decision of the Oregon supreme court reversing Judge Skip worth ot Douglas county in the caw relating to the location ot the Paci fic highway through the town of Rid dle, seems to be little more than a legislative act, broadening the pow ers ot the commission. "Judicial Leg islation" Is the name given that sort of decision by the law books, which, toi the moet part dissapprove because it is not the function of the courts to make laws. Nevertheless, the result reached in this Douglas county case seems desirable It the highway commission is to be permitted to perform Its du ties with the Interests of the whole section uppermost. The legislative act that started this state on Its pres ent road program provided tor high ways in every section. Legislative influence undoubtedly had much to do with certain locations, which were made, not with reference to the facts on the ground, but only as cer tain towns were affected that Is. the only consideration was the town. When the commission took charge and had time to go Into details It found changes and additions desir able. In this way it has added to the program In this county the road from Sisters to Redmond, not pro vided in the highway act. Before this decision It might have been pos sible tor some disgruntled tax payer to enjoin the expenditure of money on this road, although there can be no doubt that it properly fits into a program tor this county. The deci sion removes any such possibility. It gives the commission practically free hand and, so long as Its mem bers are men to be depended on, as they are now, permits them to use their best discretion in the develop ment of a state road system. This Is a it should be. Bend Bulletin. JOURNEYS IN EASTERN ORE. (By Robt. Osborn.) (LaGrande, Ore. July 25) "The Union County stock show has done more each year to introduce thoro bred stock Into this county than any thing else," County Judge Phy told me the other day during a ride into the country. His statement Is no news to Central Oregon stock grow ers for the Crook County Fair hag proved it many times. The Judge was Interested in the Public health s irvey in Eastern Oregon. He think" that the problem of public health is ljrgely a county responsibility, He told me a lot about Union county roads. Just now they are having trouble with the highway to Hot lake, which, paved once, went to pieces in less than a year. It is now being made good by the state and contractor. The Judge de plored the fact that so many citizen howl to keep the taxes lower than the other fellow and who have no eye for progress like the farmer who won't hire help for fear his crop won't turn out good. I also visited the poor farm with Judge Phy. The county has 40 acres near La Grande operated by a man with eleven chil dren, for indigent old men. It Is practically self-suporting at present and shows good management. I have no desire to go back there, however. Riverside park Is one thing La Grande, as a city, is proudest of, and its pride is not misplaced. The city has laid out some beautiful grounds near the river with lawns, shade trees, drives, paths and benches in abundance. A free camping ground pnd a children's playground are in connection. A large pavilion, seat ing about 2000 people, is the main feature of the park, for here is held Chautauquas and all sorts of enter tainments. Just now the women of the city are camping on the trail o( the officials to get the park street paved, a sorely needed improvement, La Grande has a commission form of government with a City Manager the first town In Oregon to adopt this plan. George Garrett, the new manager, is a man with much prac tlcal experience in Portland muni cipal government and a student of city problems. We learned at col lege that the theory of a city mana ger Is alright, but it usually works cut that the commissioners hire man to run the city, and then won't I let him do ft. Such has been th case here, but Mr. Oarrett is rapidly weaning his commissioners from that Idea. His big job now se;ms to bi that of keeping the city supplied with drinking water. The 'women here have a very active civics and literal y club and are constantly doing the things that stand tor progress and development. Much ot my rumblings about the country has beeu made possible by the County Nurse. Let me tell Cea trsl Oregon people, right now, that there is no couuty institution more important than a county nurse. She helps you get well and then keeps you well. Miss Zorn, the nurse In I'uion county, has regular communl ty classes where she teaches home niirsiug and answers questions. She visits sick-room after sick-room snd gives bed-aide instructions mighty tine lu these days of tew nurses. Sha U aches the young mother bow tu rare for the baby and (Ives Instruc tions for the care of contagious dis eases, no home is closed to Der, for Ly a great deal ot care and tact snil ability she haa won the hearts of all her associates. Her regular Inspec tion ot school children pays the high est dividends to this county. The expenses of the couuty nurso ere paid at present by the Red Cross. but the county Is to take It over this fi.ll. Wallowa and Baker counties have both applied tor nurses. The work ot placing nurses In the coun ties has been done largely by the Tuberculosis Association. Last weekend I went huckluberry- Ing with some local people! We ouly bad to drive about ten miles snd then walk one to be In the patch on the side ot ML Emily. I was re minded ot the time we used to trav el three days to reach the Cascades and then work two week's get ting "food for winter." I met an odd character the other day who called himself "Ed, tho Trapper." He had a rickety back and horse, a dog and more rheuma tism than he could carry upright. His tale of how he acquired tho rheumatism Is Interesting. "Wal, It wux this way," ses he, "I wus up ncrth here snd I got the as'me sj durned bad thet I thot I wud get up where it wus higher. Wal, as I wui a cumin in here I croast those moun tings over there just at dark snd o I stopped my horse and sei, here's where I stays tor the night I scap ed some needles together tor my bed and the next morning when I got up. blamed if I hadn't lost me as'me, hut this dawgoned room-e-tix came In place ot it Gol Darn!"
