The taloon men in Portland have peti
tioned the council to raite taloon lioente
from $600 to $800. It it atated that
the reaton for thit ttep it to prevent the
citizen from voting a ttill higher amount
with added rettrictiont.
The Ot&iRvm remarked teveral weekt
ago that La Grande would become a
jobbing center. A wholesale grocery
houte it to be the next addition t the
commercial circlet ol our city. Other
will follow. Thit it a natural distribu
ting point for a large territory.
Owing to the fact that Easter come
early thit year, March 51. many predict
an early apring. Ltnt begin thit year on
February 13, Ash Wednesday,
Eastern Washington papers are spsc
ulating upon c eating a new state out of
portions of Eastern Washington, a part
of the northeast corner of Oregon, La
Grande would be juit in the new state,
and the panhandle of Idaho. Spokane
seems to be booming the idea, with the
supposition that she would become the
capital. There might be some merit in
the suggestion but from a La Grande
tend point it looks to us like following off
strange Gods. Il might be many years
before a new state would secure as good
laws as Oregon new enjoys.
If a movement hae been made to sec
ure the $100 to sink the artisian well to
the 1000 foot level we have not heard
anything about it. That money should
be raised. At it is the $4,000 already
expended is lost and it Is impossible that
an additional $ 1 00 would produced the
desired results.
It is a rather cruel remark but the con
ditions at present are so entirely out of
the ordinary that we cannot refrain from
wondering if the roies in the Rose city are
not badly frostbitten.
The Commercil Club has again taken
up tht proportion with the O. R. & N.
Company whereby the overland train No 1
from the east may stop at North Powder
Ssveral months ago the club took up the
matter and arranged for this train to
stop but under a new schedule which re
cently went into effect the trains ceas
to stop. This works not only a hardship
upon the citizens of North Powder but
also on La Grande. As it is now. a North
Powder citizen must come here on the
night train and remain all of the next day
in order to do a little business.
It No 1. would stop, passengere could
come to La Grande in the morning and
return in the evening. This would be e
great convenience and would be a saving
of expense ae wsl". as of time.
Fulton, Missouri, the original high licen
se town of the United States is ttill work
ing in the lead. In 1874 the city relied
lieeneet to $1,600 per annum, In July
1904 the licentet wat raited to $4,000
and this weekthe council increased licenses
to $4,000. Fulton is a city of 8,000
and at the pressnt time hat two saloons
whose proprietors state that they will be
compelled to c'ose business.

A bill is to be introduced in the Montana
legislature which if it becomes a law will
make gambling at faro, roulette and
poker a question of local option A sliding

Dealers of Twenty-one games should at
tack the constitutionality of the law, if it
becomes a law, as class legislation tax
ation without representation and etc, They
seem to be effectively boycotted.
If the Twenty-one dealers could get'.
a hearing before the Interstate Commerce
Commission they would soon get their
rights restored. It may be when the Presi
dent hears of this injustice .his idea of a
square deal mayjresult in the righte of the
Twenty-one dealers being adjusted.
New Jersey has become notorious as
the home of the big trusts, owing to her
wide open policy on corporation charters,
Nevada by her wide open policy of legit
lation on prize fights, and now Montana is
bidding for home seekers by a state law

Some of the papers in the state are op
posed to an appropriation to the James
town exposition. This is a debatable
question as to whether or not Oregon
would receive benefits in proportion to the
cost of making a creditable jhowing. There
is no doubt but what millions of eastern
people will attend this exposition.
Neither is there a doubt but what
thousands who will attend are also
thinking of making their tnme in the west
The Observer is not prepared to say that
such an exhibit would not be of sreat
benefit to Oregon. The time is now too
short but had the several states in the
Northwest pooled their appropriatione and
build one great building for the Pacific
coast exhibits it would have been a great
drawing card.
