On the small round space in the center of the doughnut are the words. , "Financial Depression," and the legend under the picture Is, "Keep V your eye on the doughnut" That strike us aa being a good pol icy, says Truth, the western weekly, of Salt Lake, It Is a human attribute to always enlarge on our own Indi vidual troubles when people have dif ficulties or troubles they are inclined to lei their minds dwell on their own depressing affairs tp such- an extant that they begin to think their lot Is harder than anyone else'. But after all any kind of trouble or difficulty is good; it develops and make us better and stronger If we overcome I Aftd iurmount the difficulty. But ; the danger is that wt allow our minds ,to be convinced that our injury I ir , totrlevable, when we reach that con ! Cjynlpn then our first real trouble be gins. "We met some people the other day 'who were passing through a certain , difficulty and unpleasant experience, , and they, expressing the idea that the fates seemed to be against them and their lot was harder thany anyone else's. It was suggested by someone that they get assistance from certain quarters, and these people said, "Why, my goodness, we though of doing that, but we discovered that these peo ple were In a much more serious con dition than we." Bo you, see It is no trick when you think your lot Is the hardest to find someone else who Is much worse off than you. It is a good idea when we get dis couraged and think our portion la a bard one to look around among our friends and neighbors and It Is almost a certainty that when we then think back on our own conditions that we twill have ample room for rejoicing . j that we are not In someone else's . 'i place. , f. The trouble wtih many of us is that we keep our eyes on the hole In the gjdoughnut and forget the real dough nut To smile Is a wonderful thing, jther is nothing so Inspiring when you feel discouraged as to meet somebody who smiles, really smiles. O Let us boost and smile. STANDING HV HOME INDUSTRY. 1 No city can prosper as It should un- i (.ess thero Is a well defined spirit of 'ttandlng by home Institutions. In Klng purchases It Is a duty every - jne'owen to hi community to spend lis money with the firm that Is owned y home people; people who have In- tstmints hi re, who have confidence ough in linker to take part of the Isponslblllty of building the town.

Baker City Her ald. . - The figures given out by the crop "porting board of the bureau of sta tistics of the department of agricul ture giving the comparative condition of the winter-wheat crop of the vari ous states on April 1, are quite com plimentary to the Pacific coast coun try. Oregon leads with 97 per cent of a normal crop, followed by Kan sas, Texas, Tennessee and' Kentucky with a OS per cent crop, and Washing ton 94, while the general average of all the states Is 91.3 per cent nor mal. Oregon also leads in the aver age for the pant 10 years with 92 per cent, Washington, California, Kansas, and Nebraska following with 90 per cent average each. In rye, Washing ton leads with a 98 per cent crop, and Oregon Is second , with 97 per cent, while for the past 10 years Ore. gon leads again with 92 per cent while the general average In all the states on the rye crop for the past 10 years Is 89.

Many of the shearers take the fleece from a sheep In two minutes and do a good neat Job, and there is not a man but what can shear a sheep in three minutes. The en gines run 25 pairs of clippers; two men grind shear for the 25 shearers; 10 men keep the pens and chutes filled with sheep, two tie the fleeces and two sack and sew the wool, ' , BEST BOOSTING. To the Editor: First impressions, like smallpox, are hard to get rid of. If they are good they enter, and mightily Influence all subsequent impressions. If bad, they, like some deadly contagion, spread odium and disfavor through all later convictions. The Svestem traveler, looking from the eminence south of Union upon the Grande Ronde valley, behold a sight that thrills him through and through. Our beautiful valley spreads like an Eden before him. And after the desert wastes over which he has passed so unen- chanting, have left their depressing in fluences, he says: "Truly, here Is the place where, till called to celestial lands, I shall strike my tent and make my home.." Descending, he passes Union and Hot Lake and sweeps Into La Grande, the metropolis of this far-famed val ley, where a divine Providence has bestowed his most precious gifts with a lavish hand. At our depot the stranger steps off the' train wondering what this valley, so richly endowed, has produced In her best city. He casts his eye to the right, and take In Chinatown; then the scarlet light district, the brewery, the saloon and dives. But on the corner of- Depot street and Jefferson avenue he stops and la ment. What a delusion; what a snare! The well watered plain are, after all, only a modern Sodom. .Have I struck hell' dumping ground? Oh, why should the fairest of earth be thus despoiled! Ha not the time come when we shoutd clean up this fair city? And give to the moral and more desirable class of emigrants a new and better first Impression? Such a sentiment Is now well night national. Let It sweep on from the White House to the less, but no more sacred precincts of our own "fair" city. Would It not be well to hear the visiting gentleman In the rink tonight, as he shall discuss this matter? W. H. GIBSON. Birth Kword. Horn!
