PRE.MDENPS MESSAGE
The whole of the President's message
contains about 25.000 words; but long as
it appears it deals with vigor the multi
tude of important subjects now attract
ing the attention of the people and on
which they expect congress to act at this
session, and in language so plain that any
citizen can understand exactly what he
wants congress to do. " In persuing it the
nterest of the reader is so thoroughly en
grossed that he forgets its length. The
most exacting critic can not And a sur

been omitted without detracting from it
clearness. The determination to be
understood by every body seems to have
been the controlling one in framing his
sentences and in the choice of the words
he used.
The portion published in this issue of
the Observer is a fair sample of the
style, and shows as plain as English
words can that the President has made
no back down from his former position

tie United - States. The largest of ihe
several grants was for common schools
which aggregates 5,529,706 acres, the
second in size is the quantities given the
state to build wagon roads, which totals
777,096 acres. The bulk of these lands
have been disposed of but there are many
thousands of acres of state land yet
unsold. It would be an unpleasant job to
attempt to show what Oregon now has
to show for all these acres.
There is a splendid opening in La
Grande for a business college. A good
school would not only have the Union
county Meld but would draw considerable
from Wallowa county.
The President' message contains over
25.000 words equal to 20 columns of the
Observer. W give that portion of the
message in full refering to corporations
and railroads, which is receiving the un
divided attention of the people and will

senatorial squabble of the past. It is of
more importance to our people to have

Senator Depew states the report that
he intends to resign his seat is absurd.
He spoke in truth that time, it is
absurd to so much as dream that a man
of hi class would think of resigning be
cause of having been exposed. Those
men never resign; they always desire to
hang on the skirt of respectability until
shaken off by the inexorable turning of
time. It is said of Depew that ha finds a
very cold atmosphere in Washington.
Whereas he was formerly sought after,
he is now left out The fact that this
must gall him was no doubt the cause of
the origination of the report that he
would resign; but those starting the re
