The sudden emergence of Jap an from issolated obscurity, so far as the western world's hori- scope is concerned, has changed the panarama of the future quite as much as did the discovery of America four hundred years ago We must now look at the future lea ilitTntMMt - 4 recognise' Japan as one of the great controlling powers iu shaping the destiny of the whole humau family, with a reason able probability that in a very short time China with its 400,000,000 intelligent and industrious people will awake to a concious ness of its strength and demand recognition in the councils of the world's rulers, and a voice in shaping the affairs of this mundane sphere. With Japan and China united for the enforcement of the doc-' trine, already foreshadowed by Japan, of "Asia for Asiatics" the ambition of European powers to acquire collonial holdings in the Orient will receive a check, and England, France,, Germany, Russia and Austria will be forc ed to the unpleasant consider ation of the possibility of, in a short time, loosing their present possessions there. Strip these European powers of their pre sent possessions in the. eastern half of our globe and the com mercial advantages incident thereto and their present great ness will soon wither like irri gated fields in arid lands when the water supply is diverted, un less they change their policies. When the western world has lost the rich Orential trade, the hope of which inspired Queen Issabella to pawn her jewelry to outfit Columbus and send him forth upon the uncrossed ocean to find a nearer route therefor. or only retains so much thereof as it renders an equivolent for then the activities of Europe will have to seek new fields to mmmm owm mouse a r.

The revolution will be radicle and for the better of the masses, for then each country will cease to depend for its greatness and power upon the success of its merchants end the splendor of its cttias, but will ' be forced to become home builders and its chief a Jibition and pride will be to render it possible for more people to live in . comfortable homes of their own within its dominion than in any other country. The water situation in this city still continues to be a serious question and will so continue until such time as an additional supply is secured. As it is at the present stage La Grande is short yof water and other arrangements must be made or we will have a dry town sure enough. A million bosnei ;wneat crop and a thirty thousand ton sugar beet crop will certainly cause this valley to experience a very ' Tk. n.nU1. AJOk v.w.. Ronde valley has never exper ienced a failure iu crops but some seasons are better than others. This is of the better sort, and every man woman and child will .reap the benefit. The La Grande public schools will open Monday September the eleventh. J La Grande has reason to feel proud of its public schools and nothing which will in any way increase their value must be over looked. Every patron of the school should use every available means to encou rage the teachers aud board of directors and thereby assist in making the schools yet better. -VISIT THE- Lewis and Clark EXPOSITION To be held at Portland, June 1 to Oct, 15, 1905.
