If Harriman wants to make Oregon a
welcome Christmas gift, says an exchange,
let him send 2000 freight cars.
Eastern Oregon can furnish a presiding
officer for the senate, all right, if necessary,
and it may prove to be ao. Pendleton
Tribune.
A real bona fide optimist is one who
can feel bright and cheerful on the fog
giest day that Walla Walla ever saw.
Anybody ought to feel happy on such a
bright balmy day as we had yesterday.
Union.
The temptations found in city life for the
young man from the country are many,
but if home training has been property
given, the parents need have but littieanx
tety about their boys who may seek em
ployment in a large city. A boy with
brains and pluck will succeed anywhere.
Parents should not forget that those
who employ labor in the metropol's dis
tricts insist on temperate workers. Upon
railroads, in factories, stores, machine
shops and offices, only temperate persons
are tolerated and the intemperate ycuth
soon finds his place taken by a sober one.
Every day, every year, we find our young
men and women taking positions for which
they are not fitted. There are pierty of
misfits in th.s busy world simply because
the individual does not do his or her think
ing. Experience often demonstrates what
the individual is test fitted for and it may
take some little tune before the young
man or woman finds the right road to
travel. However, it is much easier to
follow the road of life if the indiv.dual will
do a little straight thinking on his or her
account. Many thrgs are to be consid
ered carefully. Natural fittness and in
clination ara important elements. The
adv.ee of parents should he considered.
But in all walks of life, no matter how
humble the pursuit may be. the founda
tion of success is embedded in good habits
Clean living, right thmk'ng and plenty of
action are the key nctes looking toward
the rounding out of a useful, happy hfe.

the ablest and wisest speeches made dur

A SPItNDID SHOWING
Postmaster Richey states that the in
crease in the business of the La Grande
postoffic for the year which closes in
March, will show an increase over the
previous year of over $ 1 00 per month.
Postoffice receipts do not increase during
a
periods of stagnation.
Wide awake merchants, through their
stocks, truly represent the prosperity of
the community wherein located. Every
one knows that the year 1 906 has been
the most prosperous in the history of La
Grande and Union county. In years of
prosperity, the Christmas trade always
exceeds that of dull seasons. A review
of the immense stocks now being dis
played by our merchants certainly be
speaks of our prosperity, and the advance
sales already made, means that, great as
they are, very little stock will be found
upon the shelves after .he holidays are
over.
