' Judge Parker's belief is that a
telegram in the wind up is worth
two planks in the platform . :
y Not only, is ; the Bpple -crop
short in the Pajaro Valley, Cali
fornia, this year, but tliecodling
moth is much in evidence.
Ox tail soup on the eastern
hill of fares will bo on the extra
lint it the butchers strike con
tinues many more days;- :
'".' Five more deaths have been
adfded to the list, caused by the
premature or careless explosion
of fireworks on the ' Fourth at
Chicago."':!. '.'.,".
: Mr. Parker is receiving many
telegrams of congratulation from
all parts of the couutry bdt none
are so far reported from Mr,
Bryan. -s-'
The bay crop in California is
'said to be : rather larger than
usual and there is a tendency
towards lower prices lor hay
If the country is determined
to go to the deminition , bow
wows, Mr. lirvan gives notice to
all whom it may concern that
be did his best to save It until
bis tail holt slipped, and tbatfie
will not . be responsible for
further results; ,
. Most of the war news the last
few days has been received from
St. Petersburg if it was confirm
ed it would be exoiting reading,
but tne element 01 doubt tnat is
easily read between the lines
deprives it of its excitement that
is hrst conveyed by the head line
orators.
Iu this issue we publish the
report ot tne committee who bad
charge of the collecting - and
disbursements of the Fourth of
Ju'y celebrationr Not only is
every dollar accounted for but
the unprecedented result of the
efforts of the committee entitles
them to the congratulations of
the cltv and this thev have
received many times over by the
repeated expressions of sa'isfao

There is no question that the
next year La Grande is going to
, niiike substantial gains in popo-
; lui ion. We brt already begining
: to reap a portion of the benefits
that will be derived from being
itbecouuly seat. La Oiandshas
reached that stage where it will
e a great deal easier to secure
i lie next 5000 population than it
bus been to secure our present
5000. We have not reached that
, point where many small indust-
ries can be sustained and will be
j increased from time to time
which in the aggregate furnishes
(employment to many . people.
Our next move will be towards
ncouraging manufacturing both
large and small and when we
give our united support to this
line of development we will be
surprised at the progress possible
iu this direction.
