The new clean-up ordinance is in effect and if you read it carefully you will notice that in case of trouble the smallest possible fine will exceed the cost of removing the rub- ish many times over. It is a proper law, helpenfoice it We will all be healthier and the appearance of our city will be greatly Improved. Salem hotel keepers are quoted as be ing ngainst the election of United States Senators by the people. They state that it has taken the old time life out of the egislative sessions. In other words, ths main lobby of the early portion of the session is conspicuous by its absence. The demand for rooms is not so great Shame on Portland and Seattle, who are trying to prevent Spokane from se curing the same railroad rates that they enjoy In justice, Spokane should have lower rates. The haul to Spokane is ZOO miles less than it is to either Portland or Spokane, why should not the rates be lower? Senator Foraker will think that the President is. a stand patter before he se cures a reversal of the President's order on the Brownsville affair. The President has won. It is all over but the shouting and Foraker will not be present when the shouting time arrives. There is evidence that indicates a live ly city campaign for city offices six weeks hence. The coming year promises to be an important one. The discussion over the proposed new charter and the Beaver creek water project and the possibility of a municipal electric light plant are the basis of the unusual interest that is de veloping this early, As a usual thing very little interest is taken in city elections un til a few days prior to the election.

HILL Prescription Druggist LA GRANDE. OR The result of the fight which is now be ing heard in Spokane by the Interstate Commerce Commission, over the question of freight rates, ae far as the Inland Em pire is concerned, overshadowseverything else If Spokane wins as we believe she will, it means a re-adjustment of freight rates which will result in a saving of thousands of dollars annually to every county within the district t t i e LA GRANDE IRON WORKS D.

There is It is understood that the Board of Fire Underwriters of the Pacific coast will meet in February and restore the rates which were in effect prior to the San Frai.cisco conflagration. This will mean a reduction of 25 per' cent which the companies assessed the people on this coast to help them pay their losses. There is no question but what the companies made a mistake for the reason that it is safe to say that by this action they lost more business thai their increased rates brought in. 'This cold weather means good crops, These words were spoken today by one of our substantial pioneer farmere. He nort crop a rea son for this. The ground will be frozen to a depth of at least one foot. This is better than a deep plowing, from the fact the soil while pulverized is not turned over. Wisconsin and the Dakotas are re nowned for the fine quality of their wheat. It is quite common for the groand to freeze to a depth of ten or more feet in the above named states. Then again in winters like this the snow in our mountains is deep, this cold weather will pack it and dunngthe warm summer months will cool the winds and prevent the burning of the grain as well as to keep up the water in our streams, which more or , less sub- irrigate the entire valley. So there is reason for the prophecy of our old pioneer friend. Qovernor Chamberlain's recommenda tion, that guards from the penitentiary be ssm auer prisoners mat are te be con veyed to the State prison from the various count.es, the same as insane patients, is a wise one. The cost during 1906 for transporting 514 insane patients was $5,668, while the cost for the same yiiua in transporting o8 prisoners was $15,675. fifty per cent more, to say nothing of a better service which would result from trained assistants.
