Drafts drawnj on all (WIS (0TO1I OWNERSHIP (Scrlppi News Association) New York, Sept. 1. Mr. Bryan will not retreat from his position that the federal ownership of the railroads is the solution to the transportation problem. Enroute from Bridgeport today, aftei reading the papers he expressed surprise that his speech should be taken as a dic tation to the party. He said that ha tried to make it plain at the time that ha only expressed his own personal opinion, that he had not consulted any of the leading Democrats and did not know what they thought. He refused to comment on what "Prominent" Democrats might have said. He stated that he was a firm believe. in the government ownership of the rail roads but had no desire now to comment on what others may say. He prefers to discus the is ue in his own way and hopes n time to give his views in every section of the country. Kenneth Me Neil was taken for Bryan's secretary and someone told Bryan that Vice-Presidnr.t Fairbanks had said that he was too poor to keep a secretary since the rate bill passed. Mr. Bryan said Midi moilttu lb IiWb id; KMUMij uw, Fairbanks will not get any symathy from me. There are plenty of other Republicans in his fix.

Whether you are employed in the produc tion of La Grande sugar or not, labor that labor that it does employ, makes less idle men in the valley. There is not a man in Union County who will work that can't find plenty to do at good wages and much of this condition is due to the labor employed in the production of the La Grande Sugar. As a result, jobs are plentiful and wages are high for all classes of work. The man who works can afford to be loyal to his own Interests and are home pro ducts, whose production is largely respon sible for the high standard of wages that he is receiving the benefit of. La Grande Sugar is made at home and Union County labor is always given the preference in its production. Ask your grocer for the only sugar made in Oregon and take no other.

When the unfortunate woman was reviv ed and her friends attempted to find the owner of the bottle which had been ac cepted, not a man, woman or child who owned a bottle could be found by the sad sea waves.
