Sewerage for 1 906.
What a difference it would make ir. this
valley if the tract known as the McCon
nell land could be made to produce beets
profitably. It would mean the disburse
ment of thousands of dollars and would
populate several thousands of acre.
It is time that steps be taken towards
a proper sewerage. . 1906 should see La
Grande seweraged. It will cost no more
this year than next and the sooner the
better. Some advocate paved streets,
but the next move should be for a sewer
age.
(OMIT POLITICS
It would be well if the voters of Union
county would make a close study of the
present laws that control county business
and find out if these laws cannot be
changed so that the forty odd thousand
dollars annually expended to carry on
this county cannot be applied to render
more benefit to the people.
In 190S the county, circuit and justice
of the peace courts cost Union county
$7836,80 not counting the salary of the
circuit Judge. '
The sheriffs office cost $4,699.96.
The total expense of Union county that
year was $42,090.68. The expenses for
1903, are given because they are the
last official report in detail that we have.

A MODERN MIRACLE
"Tiuly miraculous seemed the recovery
of Mrs. Mollis Holt of this place," writes
O. R. Hooper, Woodford, Tenn "she
was so waited by coughing up pus from
her hangs. . Doctors declared her end so
near that her family had watched by her
bed-side forty-eight hours; when, at my
urgent request Dr. King's New Discovery
was given her, and with the astonishing
result that improvement began, and con
tinued until she finally completely recov
ered, and Is a healthy woman today."

From the most reliable sources avail
able it seems that the Chinese art de
termined to quit trading with the Ameri
cans. This from a commercial view
point means much to the people of Oregon
but valuable as the trade now is to us
with China, and great as we have dream
ed it will be in the future it is doubtful if
we can afford to concede to the demand
of the Chinamen and open our ports to
the unrestricted inflow of Chinese laborers
if that Is their real object.
The Chinamen deny that this is their
real object, but that all that they ask is
that our people treat their people who
came here under existing laws with the
same degree of fairness that we treat
immigrants from other countries. On the
issue thus raised the Chinese have the
best of the argument
