As lunar as we as a nation do not keep any larger stand 4ng army than has been our policy in the past, we must depend in every great crisis on our volunteers and the mllltla is capable of supplying the na tion with a large body of active young men who have, to a greater or less ex tent, military training. This Is the real object, but there Is also a social feature that has advantages, all of which goes to make city life. La Grande had a splendid mllltla com pany for many years, and should have one now. e ' Every business man In the city jhould say a good word for Market day next Saturday. . These day should become fixed periods not less than once every month, and the peo ple would look forward to them, knowing that on these fixed days La Grande would hold a Market day. see There Is considerable Interest being taken by the owners of fine stallions in the valley on Horse show day In La Grande next Saturday. There Is every indication that there will be i fine number of horses on exhibition. ee-e JOSEPH REPUBLICANS' STAND. Promised Statement From Iswdlng Citizens Furnished.

Wyoming Mun Was Viciously Attack ed by the AnlnutL A dispatch from Braggs, V.'yo., says of the killing of a monster gray wolf there: While engaged In looking after his raps which he had set In the hopes of capturing some coyotes, Edward Yoakum was attacked by an enormous gray wolf, which broke the Iron c'mln of a trap and made a desperate at tempt to reach the throat of its cay tor. Yoakum, however, made a hasty re treat and avoided Injury. As the huce animal stilt showed fight, Yoakum secured a large club and finally suc ceeded In braining the monster. The beast was a timber wolf pre sumably of considerable age, as Its hide is 'rather larger thun common. Its body was larger than that of a mountain lion and was covered with fat, pointing to the fact that the ani mal had led a life of an epicurean on the cuttle and sheep on the large Snake and Bear river ranges. This la the second wolf killed in this locality In the last six weeks. Great Labor Convention. Fort Worth, Texas, April 14.
