The O R & N company stands
ready to run excursion trains to
the cities of the Inland Empire
during the , Lewis & Clark fair.
"Pendleton Day,'? "Walla Walla
Day," "Baker City Day" and
"La Grande Day" may all be
enjoyed by these cities and
thousands of visitors . , .brought
out from Portland to visit the
natives of Eastern Oregon in
their wilds. A- word from the
Commercial association will fix
the date and place the event on
the calendar of exposition feat
ures. A holiday should he de
clared in the towns to be visited
on the date .of the excursion.
Picnics should be .arranged,
parades , organized and" every
effort made to entertain and in
struct the visitors in the most
royal manner. In this way,
only, can the Easterner and the
Westerner be made to know each
other. Eaet Oregonian ' '

Gardinier of the 2nd and Reavis
of the 3rd wards. The present
members have had a busy year,
aside from their other duties
the building of the city hall re
quirsd no small degree of their
attention and the' taxpayers of
this city certainly got their
moneys worth in that building
and the entire county is pro
of the acheivement.
The politician who attempts
to deprive the common people
of the.priviledges of the imative
and referendum law of this state
will doubtless be deprived of the
priviledge of ever again secur
ing a seat in the legislature and
he should. An occasional mis
take may be made under this
law the, same as any other but
the maspea are eager to right
a wrong and this can not always
be said, of the old way of doing
business. It was a forward step
and should never be retracted.

Tbe- legislator who keeps his
ear to the ground iu order to
catch the first rumble of th
approaohing storm' of public
opinion will wisely liue up with
the forces against a constitution-
al convention. While there are
possibly a few changes that could
be made far the better such an
undertaking is fraught with
many dangers. The present few
errors can easily be amended
and brought up to date.' The
original constitution of this
state has stood the test of time
in a remarkable degree and all
attempts at a change should be
pproached with fear and trem-
beling.
