This I a hap py solution of a problem that a few years ago looked Impossible. Another thing must be remembered, that while we are reducing our debt, the roads and bridge of the county are not suf fering. . Never in our history have we had as many first-class bridges as at present. Nearly all of the Important bridges are steel structures that will last for years and years. There Is going to be a day of reck onlng some of these days. The order will go forth to Inaugurate the free city tnnll delivery and there will be a number of houses that are not num bered. The city officials may get angry and enforce the city ordinance which Imposed a fine of a sufficient amount to pay for the numbers on a whole block. It Is simple carelessness on the part of those who have not compiled with the law. ; . This Is not going to be a dull sum mer. Barnum ft Bailey's circus Is ending out it advance sheets.

' lwU!cHt Campbell, Who Is In La Grande Today, Advuiucs Three Sa lient Itcniiis Why the State Should Allow tlik University Appropriation -Poor Man's Proposition, Differ- rare in Taxes Trilling, and Adver tising Bod, The utter absurdity of the action of certain granges of the state In trying to forestall.' the state legislature In making the annual appropriation for the maintenance of the state universi ty at Eugene, Is made all the more, so by three salient arguments that Pres ident P. L. Campbell advances during his present tour of eastern Oregon, and which he has advanced to La Grande friends of the school while he I here loony. ' The point are three In number, but brief and strong, and, It Is peculiar If the conservative and conscientious voter can read them and not be con vlnced of their truthfulness and weight A Poor Man's Proposition. The first of the three Is: "A poor man' proposition." The tuition Is free at this school, and In this highly enlightened age, the father though he be poor, can see his son stand In the front rank of learning without the ex. pendlture of a single cent In tuition money. The Difference In Taxation. The difference In taxation is the second of his argument and should squelch all further arguments against the appropriation. A paltry 2.1 cent for every $1000 of taxation will be the difference In taxation this year, If the appropriation carries, from last year when the money was not paid. This Is not two and one tenth per' cent, but 8 and 1-10 cents more for every $1000 dollar taxation he has, than before the appropriation was made. Is that sum worthy of the contention that the granges through out the stae are making? Tlio Advertising. By bringing the referendum to bear on this measure, Oregon has gained widespread and undesirable notoriety. Every school of Importance In the country Is looking forward to what the people of Oregon are going to do In this crisis. It Is a fact that Oregon has established a record In history when It put up to a popular vote the ques Hon of school appropriation. Higher education cannot be maintained at the university without funds, and If the state kills that appropriation It will be spread to the world a bit of news which will neutralize all the boosting commercial bodies may do. Without schools for their children, homeseekera will pass us by. The president I very confident that the voters will act wisely In this mat ter at the June election. He, like the others who are trying to frustrate the plan of the granges,' wish, however, to see the matter killed so effectually that the state will regain its hold In educational history without the dan ger of a future attack upon It.

THE DEMAND fOR PROPERTY IN RIVERSIDE ADDITION NEAR THE BIG SAW has become'so great, that it has been decided to advance the price on lots in that 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 e that lots in Riverside Addition have been selling at too low a figure.
