Circuit court is practically over." This
has been the longest term for many years.
Which ever way the vote goes on the
purchase of the springs, the pao'ple will be
better informed with regard to the pres
ent water system.
The frequency of the resignation of in
surance officers reminds one of the story
of the old Quaker, who in after years in
relating his experience, said he first joined
the Quaker church by request and later
withdrew in the same manner.
The water question striped of all its
side lights and dressing simply resolves
itself down to the question Of quantity,
the quality is unquestioned. If the Voter
after having weighed the matter in his
mind comes to the conclusion tiiat ' there
is a sufficient quantity, he should vote in
favor of purchasing the springs. If he
brieves there is not sufficieet water to
justify the expense, he should cast his
vote against the proposed purchase. It is
simply a question of quantity.
Each day brings us nearer the city
election, and with each succeeding day the
question of whether w not we vote to
purchase the Falk and Shilling : springs
becomes more interesting and brings forth
additional information regarding their im
portance. The citizens have suddenly be
come alive to the fact that the' water
question is one of vital importance to. the
city and by the time the polls' open next
Monday, the greater number of the voters
will have sufficient information regarding
the matter to vote intelligently.
La Grande has reason to feel grateful
for small favors, and a right to expect
greater ones. We have, through the
efforts of Senator Fulton, been accorded
another post office clerk. So far so good.
It seems a long step from a mail clerk to
federal building, but every ' little Kelps.
and the government having discovered
that ws are on the map, can no doubt be
made to see the necessity for the building.
If we keep hammering, we may be able
in time, to knock a building together. Let
everybody put in a lick for the good of the
cause.
