; WHERE LA GRANDE LEAD
Just as much desirable publicity as
La Grande has gained In the past
week, so much extremely damaging
news will be scattered over the state
and northwest about Pendleton. Pen-
dleton business men got together the
other night to hear Tom Richardson,
ana Insteaa of raising about 15000, as
r dltfLa Grande, the business men of
, the Wheat Town were mum.- When
T La Grande started its booster fund
papers from alt parts of the'northwest
! as any exchange table will testify
1 to picked up the news Item . and
. spread it still farther. The same
thing is going to be true with Pendle
ton on the effects, and results will be
, a Jolt to the life and enterprise of
that city. Pendleton may have ex-
cellent business now, but there Is no
business, enterprise or municipality
that is so good that it could not be
made better. A municipality cannot
stand still It either forges ahead or
retrogrades. Pendleton Itself has no
excuses to 'offer. The following, edi
torially, published in the Pendleton
East Oregonlan, no doubt reflects the
-sentiment of the wide-minded business
men of that city, notwithstanding that
' the moneyed Interests of that city
failed to respond with their gold
when called upon;
. Pendleton hag no excuse to offer
for the failure of her property owners
to raise a publicity fund and start a
campaign for new settlers In the
county. The people of Pendleton and
Umatilla county are simply too pros-
perous. They have too much money,
too large Incomes, are too Independ
ent to bother with, publicity funds
,hd booster programs,
That was the most representative
""body of citizens brought together for
a long time, which greeted Tom Rlch
' ardson at the court house last night,
but it was absolutely Irresponsive to
his appeals for funds, totally heedless
of his glowing accounts of booster's
programs elsewhere In the state.
As long as the land yields well In
this vicinity, as long as rents come In
regularly, as long as Incomes are cer
tain and business Is good, what Is the
. use for the property owner to spend
lila money In advertising the country
or boosting? That Is the attitude of
a large part of the west.
But when the productiveness of the
land reaches Its senlth 'and then be
gins slowly to recede; when business
tops growing for lack of new blood
In the country; when rents begin to
slip downward and vacant buildings
become more plentiful, then people
will awaken to the resources of the
country and there will come an era
of genuine boosting such as Salem has
. experienced In the past year.
DEATH RUV TO GAMBLING.
The state supreme court. In a de
cision rendered Monday In the case of
Charles Preston, a Walla Wnlln Km
bier, convicted In the superior court
of conducting a gambling game, holds
that any game, whether conducted In
a private or public place, when It In
operated for g;itn. Is unlawful and Ik
therefore punlHhable' under the slate
law relating to gambling.
The decision is an Important one, ax
It sets at rest the contention raised by
the gambling fraternity, that It Is not
unlawful to iramble when the games
are run privately. Preston's offense
was that of operating a roulette wheel
in me basement of a Walla Walla
saloon. His defense was that he was
aot guilty of a felony and could only
rga with mlsaemaenor as

The Portlaid Journal, referring to
a proposed "love feast'" to be held In
the near future by the successful can
didates, calls It a "lose" feast. This
Is likely a typographical error, but a
real lose feats would be more largely
'tended than the one proposed If all
those concerned should fall in line.

The public would be as anxious for
a speedy marriage of De Sagan and
Anna as the principals themselves
evidently are. If It would serve to re
move them from the public eye, but It
won't. There are the divorce pro
ceedings to follow. Ex.
