' It is evident from expressions heard
: on every side that the voters are fully
iwttre oi the (inference between Cham
berlain as a candidate for governor,
and Chamberlain as a candidate for
United States senator. Many voted for
him for governor who will not think
of voting for him to be senator. They
, realize that the former office is pure
ly an executive one, and the latter a
, legislative One. ' The governor's duty
is to enforce the law and the senator
makes the law. One establishes the
policy and the other carries out the
policy as made for him. The citizens
of Oregon are not going to send a
democrat to the United States senate,
No one need worry about that.
Extend the glad hand. During times
of municipal publicity every citizen of
La Grande should realize that he has
been appointed a member of the en
tertalnmont committee, whose duty it
is to offer the glad hand to the
'r&svr. This does not mean that it
Is necessary to become a "gushvr," but
, a few pleasant words and an apparent
Interest In the stranger will do won
ders toward making him feel at home
In our city. Just a handshake and a
pleasant salutation Will some times do
much toward creating a new citizen.

Bteps should be taken to secure
Vinegar plant and an apple dryer.
Thousands of lAishels of second grade
apples go without a market In thin
Valley each year. This Is a great loss
; and really there Is no good reason
why It should be true. In other fruit
sections the second grade fruit is
marketed at a profit by means of dry
ers and vinegar plants and why
should, not La Grande provide similar
means.

Cnlon county Is thousands of dol
"lara richer by last night's rain. We
were not exactly suffering for add!
Uonal moisture, but farmers all agree
that the yield will be materially In
creased by the warm rain which fell
last evening. Union county farmers
are always certain of full crops and
the reason therefore Is largely because
of the fact that we can always depend
on rains In May and June.
