It might be a surprise for some of our . young farmer readers to know s that at the first meeting of the state 4 fair, which waa Iieni i Ciuu Cilj .In the fall of 1861, that In making his annual address delivered by J. Qulnn j.;Thornton, who was a pioneer of 1848, that ha advocated the rotation of .-crop.. One would .have hardly .thought that the rotation of crop the , ory had been suggested at so early a date. We quote this paragraph pf his - address; "To be a successful farmer ,, one must understand the ph.Iosophy of the rotation of crops which Is built upon a knowledge of the lawa of vegetable nutrition." . A drive over the city will surprise many of the Improvements that are now under way Several new houses are Just receiving their finishing touches and several new foundations re In course of construction. There will bo a number of new homes built In La Grande this year. It is a good year to build; material Is much cheaper than at any time for several years, and labor Is a little lower than last year. A number who intended to build last year, but reconsidered, will build this season. La Grande Is rap Idly becoming a city of homes. -e IIOME FOLK "OVGIIT TO KNOW.' Ebtvhard Vigorously Replies to Col. . Ivanlino'a KtaUMiionU. Concerning the attack made upon him recently, Colon R. Eberhard of Joaeph, candidate) for the republican nomination for Joint representative, this morning Issued the following statement: "Being the protege of no one, and having no political God-father to write fake Interviews costing so much per line, I am compelled to do my own talking. Just as I do my own thinking and acting. Nor have I been working under the "instructions" of any one for two years, am now working under alone, and will be under none. If nom inated and elected. "Colonel Ivanhoe pictures his pro tege as a mighty enforcer of the law and also aaya I waa elected city re feeder of Joseph aa a 'reformer.' Mr. Rusk waa a candidate on the other ticket for councilman, being badly de feated, so that his great pretensions to Jaw enforcement ; at this time mcas . nre tip with the record he has made. Col. Ivanhoe also snys I Imposed fines Tor gambling on a monthly basis. This, assertion he Is probably not pre pared to prove; anil,' besides, If 'it ; were literally true, would It lie any more rcprehcnslvle In my official ac thn than It was for Colonel Ivanhoe, when city attorney of La Orrtnde, to . officially countenance the monthly ', fining of women? '"In one breath Colonel (vanhoc's candidate Is a ''luw enforcer"; In the , next, a great 'fighter.' 'Hut he was assaulted,' say 'the sponsor; and be cause 'he offended some lawbreakers, gamblers . . . .' How does he know WHT the assault took place. If In fact, he was assaulted T And, If assaulted, la It a necessary part of self defense, when the bottom man 'squeal.' and those near are engaged In taking off the 'assaulted' man, for the same man on top to kick In the face, the man who Is down? This, 1 charge Rusk did. In the case of Col. Ivanhoe himself Introduces Into the matter. Further, It Is a fact that the . man with whom he was fighting Is 69 r rears of age, while the other, to use vlh extract from the advertisement, "Is et a young man. "From thla screed used by tha col onel when he 'presented' his partner and protege, one would think that his ideas of the qualifications for a mem ber of the legislation are that he be a 'scrapper,' a married man, and above all, an owner of real property. Borne people have an Idea that fitness and other personal qualities which at least give them the confidence of their neighbors have something to do with measuring a man to represent the people. Concluding, after posing as a special advocate for his man, he then assumes the character of an ad viser, evidently thinking that people have more confidence in the Judge ment of one Interested man, than they do In that of the neighbors and townspeople of HOTII candidates. I submit THEY 'ought to know,' even If the colonel thinks he dues. ' "As to the statement that tho law abiding citizens of Joeph are gng to support Rusk, I pronounce that as maliciously false, and will prove It by publishing a later statement over the names of the leading citizens of Jos eph. Incidentally, wll lColonel Ivan hoe deny that his protege cannot car yy hi own precinct? "I nm willing to rest the matter with the people upon my merits as to 'what I am and what I have done. To best 'determine this In any case, I claim the home folks know best." ; ; i ; V" I ; t t-JLKlfc.fc,. IU.Lr lllt.u. gupt-rvltmr of Blue Mountain Reserve Will Have More Help. To manage 1,100,000 acre of range land and to aee that It Is equitably distributed among the sheep and cat tie men of eastern Oregon, la the task which fall to Henry Ireland, super visor of the eastern division of the Blue Mountain reserve who is now here. With him this year Mr. Ireland'wlll have a force of 14 rangers whose duty It will be to patrol the reserve and to aee that the regulations of the forestry bure.tti are compiled wt:h. With th force of men he says that better serv ice can be rendered than was given last year, for his crew will be bolh larger and better than In the past. One reason for this I the fact that the fear of hard times has tended to drive good men Into the government service where they may find Jobs that are sure and steady though the salaries are small. For 11 years Supervisor Ireland has been In the forestry service and dur ing that time he has advanced from a ranger drawing a salary of $50 per month, to supervisor of a greut re serve. He entered the service In 189" when the Arestry service 'was con ducted with the department of the In terior and when Blnger Herman was commissioner genernl of the land of fice. He say that the separation of the forestry bureau from the Interior de partment was hailed with Joy by those In the service. At present the headquarters for the eastern division la at Sumpter which town lies close to the reserve. How ever, It Is off tha main line and be cause of Its Isolation Is objected to by sheepmen generally. However, Mr. Ireland sajra, no change In headquar ter can be made this year.

William J. Bryan will be the principal issue In the democratic state convention of New York, which meets tomorrow In Carnegie hall. Most of the members of the democratic state committee, practically all of whom have gone on record for an uninstructed delegation, arrived In the city today and will hold a meeting tonight, when flnnl plans for the convention will be decided upon. In many of the up-state coun ties the delegates to tomorrow's con vention have been Instructed to vote for the Indorsement of Bryani nnd hot fight Is expected. -..'-' It Is understood that no attempt Ib to be made to oust Chairman Conners, of the state committee, and that he will be In charge during the cam pnlR-n. Conner Is the leader of the entl-Bryan forces and favors an unln structed delegation, although he Is I supporter of Governor Johnson. In regard to the action to be taken by to morrow's convention, the chairman Is quoted as saying: "So far as I know, there Is no ques tion but what the delegates from this state to the national convention will go uninstructed. I know many demo crats who used to be bughnused for Pryan who are now opposed to him and believe that It would be bad poll tics for the party to again nominate him for president. I believe that the real democratic sentiment of thl state I' for 'Governor Johnson of Minnesota a the candidate, but we will send an Ilryan Xot to KM'uk. New York, April 13. William J. Bryan will not attend the Jefferson Day dinner of the National Democratic club, to be held at the Knickerbocker hotel tonight, according to the latest reports. In view of the widespread discussion as to whether the Invitation was to make a speech, or merely to get a meal, Mr. Bryan has announced that it would be embarrassing both to the club members and himself to be present In either capacity. The Nebraskan Is spending the day in Trenton, N. J., and will be given a reception by Governor Fort, who has been prominently mentioned as Taffa running mate. New Jersey democrat are divided in their" allegiance to the commoner and a portion of them will attempt to make hi visit a Inconspic uous as possible, while other demo cratlc leaders are determined to bring about a contrary effect. :TME DEMAND fOR PROPERTY IN: IVERSIDE ADDITION :NEAR THE BIG SAW MILL: Try to OuHt MeCk'llan. New York, April 13. The right of George B. McClellan to the office of mayor of New York city, which Is contested by William Randolph Hearst, McClellan's opponent In the last municipal election, will be deter mined by a trial commenced today In the appellate division of the supreme court. A special panel of 100 tale' men was called from which to select Jury. The trial follows a legal con test of two years, as a result of which Hearst finally secured an order of the court granting the right to open the ballot boxes In disputed districts for the purpose of counting the ballots. It Is Hearst's contention that whole sale frauds were perpetrated In the election and that he Is rightfully the ntayor of the city. has become so great, that it has been decided to advance the price on lots in th a addition, ' ' By comparing the prices at which lots in Riverside Addition have been sell ing, with the prices of similar property in other sections of the city, it will be found that lots in Riverside Addition have been selling at too low a figure. Before advancing the price, however, it has been deemed only fair to give due warning to those who have been contemplating buying, but who have been delaying fiom time to time, therefore TAKE NOTICE T Reduce Kxprcwi Rate.
