S. census give some figures of interest concerning ohild life in the United States that interest uiatssmen, and should interest parents and all others. A glance at these fig ures show that more boy babies are born in the United Slates than girls) but, for" some came or other the per cent of boys that die before reaching ma turety is.. greater than that of girls. .The final conclusions be not confused with immigration, the following figures are those of children of native parents in the United States. In 1900 to a total 65,843,302 native populatian there were 1,916,911 babies 11 mouhts old and under of these 969,339 were boys and 947,572 were girls giving the. boys a majesty of 21,766. .

NO SOLDIERS IN OREGON. The dispatches from Wash ington state that the State of Washington, ' our neighbor on the north, for six military posts in that state get $345,950 ap propriated therefor . for the en suing year. At the same time California on our south got $235,160 for military posts and Idaho gets $248,750. For some reason or other the leading men iu Oregon have paid no attention to military posts in Oregon aud our more vigilant neighbors have secured the abandenmeot ofOregou posts aad he transfer of. the troops to their posts with the result that Oregon gets nothing. " To apease those who honestly fought LaQrandeon the ground that she. would not fulfill her promises, the Observer again takes pleasure in annouomg that she will be faithful to all anti election promises and time will prove that instead of in creasing the indebtedness that the removal of the county seat to this oity will be the stepping stone to reduced indebtedness and a proportionaal reduction in taxes. La Grande is certainly under obligations to county judge Harrison and commissioner Bluenstein as their statements assuring the voters of the county that the cost of remov ing the county seat would only be nominal. This statement coming at; the time it did was no small factor in forming public sentiment at a time it was most needed. La Qrande should always remember this. La Grande thanks her many friends and forgives her enemies. That was a glorious victory.
