institutions show a decrease of
34 per cent from 1901 The
striking decrease in liabilities
from the previous year is in the
item of loan and trait companies,
which are less than one sixth of
1903.' Considered in the aggre
gate, the record affords occasion
for congratulation. The report
of tbe comptroller of the cur
rency for 1904 ahows that there
were 5,331 national banks and
9,519 other bsnks making a tot
al of 14,850, of which .only 96
suspended. According s it ap
pears that the morality for bank
ing institutions in 1904 was
only aixty four hundreth of one
per cent. This is certainly a
good showing." '
That there is a small but de
termined factioo in tbe Repab-1
lican party that is opposed to j
the President is manifest to all
who keep posted on passing!
events.' This opposition is cot
tbe outgrowth of any theory that
is antagonistic to the declared
principles of the KepubiiuuV
party, but so far as can be pred
icated upon any acts or utter
ances of the opposition, is be
cause the 'opposing ' faction' is
filled with a dread, that the
carrying out of tbe doctrines
enunciated in tbe National plat
form will, in some manner curb
their individual power as local
bosses or militate against the
pecuniary interests of some,, of
their political adherents. ; ' -,
The "plan uon" which this
faction now seems to be working
with a concert of action in con
gress ana in several s'ates, is to
diminish the popularity of the
President with the people by
obstructing administration
measures by raising technical
objections thereto, and thus
wear out the patience of the
people.
When Roosevelt enunciated
in his message that he favored
a spetdy passage of a law in
creasing the powers of the Inter
state Commerce Commission bo
that it could restrain transporta
tion companies doing interstate
business from charging unrea
sonably high rates or discrimin
ate against some classes of freight
or localities or classes of persons
and in favor of others, so strong
and pronounced was" the 'popular
demand for legislation giving
the commission that power, the
hostile faction is now using every
art ".that interested . ingenuity
can devise to procrastinate action
in congress and postpone final
action on the bill granting that
power until nexf congress. , If
the President can' be thus' bead
ed off, the fac will be used as an
argument to show that the Pres
ident is not as powerful as the
people believe him to be.

La Grande is rapidiy becom
ing a city of homes Every
thing has been working, towards
this end for a number of years
but the idea manifest the past
tew years has ' resulted " in the
gtueral conception that La
Gran Je is and will continue to
be one of the best cities' iu the
Iiland Empire and, such being
the case, it is natural that the
people who reside here want to
own their own homes. There
were over one -11 una red resi
dences constructed during 11)04
and practically speakiug every
one was built tf be occupied by
the owner. 1905 promises to be
a better building year than last.
