THE GREATEST ELIXIRS.
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

condition of growth and prosperity Is
very encouraging, but the real move

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

I In mourning today over the funeral
of the late Senator William Boyd Al
lison. The burial took place in Lln

States senate, and Speaker Cannon,
with 20 "members, of tho house, and
Governor Cummins w'ith all the lead
ing state officers, composed the offi
cial repreaentatlon. 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.

dishonesty incompetence.
A chat without a few little titbits- of
scandal is like breakfast without cot

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.
