A crowded hall heard Grand Mastei
Uiehurd Scott of Portland last eve
ning, when the highest state offlela
In Odd Fcllowdom visited the loca
lodges in an official way. A baiwuol
was spread in the Model restaurant
following the meeting, and to thl:
about u halt hundred were seated.
Accompanied by Grand Warden F.i
Ooolldgo and F. U. Currey, the gran
master went to Baker City this morn
lug, where the officers will meet th.
'odges of that city tonight.
A Good Showing.
A. Prill, who for the pant six year:
has been engaged in the dairying bind
ness on Itoek Creek, was In the oil
today on one of his regular cream de
llvering missions, and gave us the fol
lowing figures: From 21 cows fron
March IS to November, he receive!
from the Blue Mountain creamery $74."
and during this same period he mar
keted hogs to the value of $300, am
skimmed milk was practically all o'
the feed that the hogs received. Un-
ler such conditions "Does dairying
pay?" is not a difficult question to
answer.

if 30 to 28, was In error and that Vt .

Pendleton Is to the effect that when

condition of things is that the score
verlooked a penalty Imposed o;

dcaded guilty to belonging to an li

he testimony given this morning bt
fore the special council committee ar
pointed to Investigate violations o
Councilman Beldlng'a anti-trust ordi

ommlttee and the furniture trust it
he flrt alleged combination which I'
vas determined to Investigate. A.
Callscher. of the Independent Furnl
ore company, and S. L. M. Gllman
two Independent dealers; Acting De
tective Inskeep and D. P. Price, for
nnrly secretary of the Northwest Fur
tlture Dealers' association, were the
vltnesses called and they gave valu
ihle Information which will be usee"
n prosecution of those Implicated In
the alleged trust, says the Telegram.
An attempt was made to show that
although the association wan thought
to have disbanded after the federal
investigation last fall. It still exists
juletly and that an effort Is still be
ing made to crowd out til independent
dealers and to maintain a ' universal
system of prices.
Conclusive evidence was given to
show that the members of the old as
sociation still refuse to sell goods to
:he Independent dealers, although
noney for goods was offered on ap
plication for their purchase, and that
' ,nlv excuse given for this refusal
was because the company desiring to
purchase the article were not In har
mony with the members of the asso
ciation and had assisted In

The Baker Spirit.
The spirit that Pendleton is dis
playing In the" federal district matter
is' not the kind that will make a
jreater and better 'Oregon. Many oi
the citizens there admit If that town
cannot have the seat of court they
will ' urge Congressman Ellis to see
that the bill establishing a district is
defeated In the house, thus depriving
eastern Oregon of something she has
long needed.
Should Congressman Ellis permit
himself to be Influenced to that end
he will not receive enough votes In
Baker county to Justify them being
ounted.
There Is every reason to believe
that Senator Fulton and Congressman
Ellis can combine their efforts and
get this bill through the house If
they choose to do so. And now Is
the time to do it.
People will not be satisfied to be
worked in the old-fashioned political
game of holding the matter up until
after the primaries. It has been Inti
mated that will be the program, but
It will not work. If, by primary day
there has been no action favorable on
the bill establishing a district, then
voters will have a chance at the men
whom they have a right to suspect ait
keeping the bill from passing.
If Pendleton Is bound to show what
seems to be the streak of a yellowish
their least In this matter Baker will remem
ber It, and If the bill Is defeated Ba
ker will remember it still more. Her- ( ing the election. I believe In fair play

Editor Observer: , of the use of Insinuation and inuendo
In an ed'itorial In your paper of the I ,he PurPse of casting a shrfWr
Jim insi., you insinuate that as a
candidate for mayor of La Grande I
represent the saloon Interests.
I take exception to this as belns
a misrepresentation and I claim the
right of space In your columns to de
ny It. On the petition which Is on
file with the recorder in my behalf,
containing 54 names of active busi
ness and professional men there are
only two who are in any way connect
ed with the liquor interests, viz: Mr.
Geo. E. Good, lessee of the Hotel Fo
ley, and .Mr. Julius Itocsch.
I have not interviewed either of
these men on the subject, but I will
undertake to produce an affidavit
rrom euch to the effect that n-ltru
has ftsked for nor hH received any
promise that the attitude of the pres
ent administration toward the saloons
would be modified to any extent what
( -er In the direction of leniency, should
I be elected mayor.
These are the only two men In the
city who have anything whatever to
do with the liquor business with whom
