"It never hurt a bit" A large saw mill and a vinegar factory and a record breaking crop will tend to make La Grande the most prosperous city in the s ate. We landed the big saw mill, have the big vinegar factory and are now looking for other industries. La Grande will be the scene of much activity this year. When a town one get started off right, it don't take long to become quite a city. La Grande is rapidly laying the foundation for a city of 10,000. The State school proposition is a eood one, but why not make an effort to get it located at La Grande? La Grande is the proper place for a state echool and the proper effort will bring it here. It is understood in this connection that parties interested in the rebuilding of San Francisco have already began to arrange for large amounts of hardwood flooring and finishing stock for the Phoenix City. Every man, woman and child who sees fit to remain in La Grande on the Fourth are assured entertainment for every moment in the day. There will be some thing doing all day and a grand band and fire work at night The present week will witness the holding of an interesting conference at Hampton institute in Virginia when ques tions of practical moment to negroes will be discussed. The delegates will be colored people, and the majority of them farmers. Agricultural topics will, there fore, be chiefly considered, but houses and hygiene will also have a leading place. There is surely much to hope for in the future of a race that concerns itself with problems like these. Time works out curious results. Every adult remembers the great agitation in the presidetnial election of 1896 over the silver question and the quantitative theory of money. Now at the end of ten years, the per capita supply of money in the United States is about $32, as against $21.60 then. This advance in the supply of 49 in money, has been accompanied by an increase in commodity prices which are now 40, 'f higher than on the average as shown by Dun's index. ' And silver, the metal, has likewise advanced 45,'t- in selling price. Of course it is to be noted that the immense increase in the currency supply consists largely of gold and of national bank notes secured by govern ment binds, in contrast to having circula tion increase through the free coinage of silver. The experience of the decade cited goes far to demonstrate the correct ness of the theory thu the per capita supply of sound mhney involves advanc ing prices of labor and commodities, and therefore increased "prosperity." It has certainly oporated to the advantaee all except those who live upon the income from invested funds, for their bonds njw yield only about the same return on each 1000 of par value that they did ten I years ago. whils other prices have ad vancad nearly 60 'r. But when is th alvanc going to stop? Seattle is letting nothing go undone which will in anyway concern the success of the Alaska-Yukon Exposition. The site has been selected and the manag ment his announced that no liquors will be sold within the Exposition grounds. This is a new move in the right dire tion. If any city in the nation can make a suc cess of an Exposition, Seattle is ce-tainly the one to march on to victory. Now is the time for parents to consign that toy cap pistol to the stove. Already one life has been sacrificed to the pistol demon in the state. A patriotic observance of the Fourth of Ju y should not be discouragrd. The boys and girls should be permitted to have a good time and a noisy time, but let the grown-ups exercise a little com mon sense. Let them keep the deadly toy pistol and the treacherous giant fire cracker from the little folks and probably we shall be able to get along with the rest of the explosives with only a small death and accident list.
