The Observer yesterday was made
to fully realize the JuMtlre of the
claims set forth In the cane now be
fore the IntiTstnte Commerce com
mission, known as the Spokane rate
case. The point at issue being that
railroad should not charge Interme
diate points in excess of the ti-rmlmil
rates. The Observer yesterday paid a
freight bill on a carload of paper
from Maine amounting to J322.63.
This rate was based on the rate from
the east to Portland, which was 75
cents per hundred pounds. Had this
car gone on to Portlurfd, the railroad
would have received $282, but from
the fact that this paper stopped off at
La Grande, 305 miles this side of the
terminal point, we were compelled
to pay the local rate back from Port
land, here, which cost us t240.63
more than had the car gone on to
Portland. This has been the policy
always, but It Is not right, and Is a
heavy tax upon every line of business
In the Inland empire.
All furniture, fixtures and the like,
now housed In the La Orande Com
mercial club building, is to be listed
ind appraised. A committee from
the board of . managers consisting of
Messrs. P. A. Foley, George Cochran
and Colonel fvnnhoe. t,lnv commenc
ed the Inventory and the figures thus
obtained will be used as a basis for
extensive Improvements the coming
summer months.
There are so many matters need
ing Immediate attention that adjourn
ed meetings will be held frequently
the next month. The next meeting Is
scheduled for Monday evening. At
that time every member of the board
Is to be present.
Various plans for furthering the In
terests of the club were discussed last
evening and In the near future several
of them will take tangible form.

If the enemies of Mr. U'Ren think
they can lessen his popularity by such
remarks as the following taken from
the Eugene Register, they will wake
up one of these mornings and realize
that thoy furnished the thunder that
laid the foundation for his success.
They will hove to accuse him of less
popularity and statesmanship, than
give him the sole credit of being the
father of tho Initiative and referen
dum nnd direct primary laws, for the
masses of the people nre with him on
these. "After converting the state of
Oregon to populism through the Ini

Since we have turned the state over
to Mr. l"Ken politically, why should
any one say him nay In his further
ambition?" Eugene 'Register.
The fact that our state supreme
court has handed down a decision In-
which all of the court did not agree,
Is something out of the ordinary and
Is the topic of much discussion, espe
cially among the legal fraternity. The
policy seems to have been for n num
ber of years for one of the Judges to
write out the opinion and It Is al
leged thut the others concur. If thl.i
nas oeen me policy, It was a wrong
one, and the people are glad to know
that the custom Is to be discontinued.
It might be considerable prtda to
eastern Oregon to know that Judge

subject of Industrial education, both
from the standpoint of the employer
and tho laborer, will be thoroughly
discussed during the meeting. Edu
cators who are familiar with the sub
ject declare that the J'nlted States
stands Imperatively In need of more
trude schools, If U would maintain Its
commercial supremacy, and point to
tho great strides being made by Ja
pan In that phase of educational ac
tivity. It Is declared thut little Nip
pon has more trade schools than the
United States and that this fact alone
will be sufficient to give It the trade
supremacy of the Pacific,
Among the speakers on the pro

tound to be a lack of nut itiou adequate 'in the states of California. Oregon,
to tile needs of youth and growth. The
stomach is "weuk," diction is impcr
feet, and so the nourishment of the body
is inadequate.
In such cases Dr. Tierce's Oolden
Medical Discovery works wonders. It
changes puny, fretful children into
healthy, happy girls and l)oys. The
process by which this change is ac
complished is strictly along the lines
marked by Nature. All growth and
strength come from food when it has
been digested, converted into nutrition
and assimilated. "Golden Medical Dis
covery " cures diseases of the stomach
and otner organs ot digestion and nutri
tion, and so enables the hndv to !, ;
without loss or waste the Iwnerit of the
nutrition provided in food. The " Dis
covery" contuins no alcohol ami is en
