I, There are two great, wonderful and powerful elixir existing In the west, nd La Grande Is some day to be given new life by both of them. One Is wa , . ler and the other electric roads, Pic ture this valley with these great phases of any real great-community's development aiti a resource! Though there might be a difference In detail yet no two broad-minded business men could draw u picture that would dif fer In the main -with water and elec- , Irlc roads to form the subject nnater. It rniH certain, now, thut I nlon county Is going to have water In great n bun (Unite at, a time not fur hence. While the eelctrlc roud has not yet assumed visible form, still the render ran rest assured the road Is coming aonie day. In a fit of dreaming one ,. ran see luxuriant crops In the dryest . aectlonsif the valley, the result of Irrigation. One can see the O. R, & ; H. exerting every (iiiHslblti energy to upply fruit curs; one can see Ihe Pa cific Express coittpiiuy responding to requests for additional cars to bun dle perishable commodities promptly, inslead ol Ignoring request after re quest. Why this obliging spirit by the O. R. A X. and the Pacific Express? i Hlmply because a rullroud of the clec-j trio type connecting with river grade via Walla Wnlla, and with the other transcontinental lines In close proxim ity to the Garden City would i-iiriyi these fruit shipments with nipkllty, ai lower tnrlff and safety that Mould j mean appnlllng losses to the rullroud; that now taps this valley, did that, company not lwntlr llself. Failure of j -crops would be tin Impossibility If ej had sufficient wutcr. such ns will lie! provided when the scheme tin, Coin-' ( inerclul club Is now "Working on, Is! consummated; but far more Import-' ant lliull that, (he liuuiiteniis crops "could be lnuiHporteil at less cost ad j less loss of time.

By actual count 167 hmmcs are now In course of construc tion and new ones are commenced every day a house for every day In he year will be" the 190S record. Still the demand for houses J.0 rent grows more Insistent and Imperative, This condition of growth and prosperity Is very encouraging, but the real move ment In building will begin hen wi)jt on (he Oregon Eastern, and next spring at the latest, we confidently believe, will mark the Inauguration of that great railroad enterprise, upoa which all the preliminary work is fast being completed, Eugene Guard. .,, ! The socialist who ha been lectur ing on the street of Baker -without money and without price, took it de light recently to give thla paper a thorough drubbing, and In closing hi remarks offered to share his platform with any member of the staff for a joint debate on socialism. If there is any member of the staff who can find no better way to .put In his time than to argue with a fanatic, his time-check Is ready. Socialistic barnstormers io little for society. Usually they are men who shrink form earning their bread by tho sweat of their brow, and want something for nothing. Baker City Herald., '.

Sixty thousand people viewed the remains. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. The way to accomplish a lot of work Is to keep it it. , Who has ever loved knows all that life contains of sorrow and Joy. . Thre Is only one thing worse than dishonesty incompetence. A chat without a few little titbits- of scandal is like breakfast without cot fee. Use, do not abuse; neither absti nence nor excess renders a man hap py. When conversation lags tell a risque story. Proper people enjoy nothing more than being slightly shorked.
