A movement was Inaugurated on the return trip from Wallowa yesterday, that will result In a poultry, fruit and dog show being held in this city some time In January. The details will be decided upon at a meeting to be called In the near future, at which time those Interested In fruit, poultry and fine Poultry and fruit shows are becoming aulte popular In this state and surely there Is not another county In the state that can make any better showing than Union county. One or two cities also bold annual dog shows and when this show is over, those who attend will be urptlsed to see how many fine blood ed dogs there are In Union county. If the owners will place them on exhibi tion. Several times It has been sug gested to have a poultry show In this county, but for some n-Haon, possibly through the lack of Interested leader ship, It has always been postponed. This time, however, It will become a reality, and those interested, in the movement feel confident thot When once Inaugurated, these shows will be come permanent annual features that will be anticipated with pleasure and profit. . : ' " WHAT A CHANGE. Thirty-two years ago the terrltoiy t-mbiacod within the limits of the present county of Wallowa. Oregon. Was In undisputed possesion of the Indians. It wn the home of that tribe of Ness Perce Indians of which Joseph was the chief, and for it they waged ft war, which, though a losing ono, gave to them a never-dying fame and established for Joseph the reputation of bvlng the ablest if all Indian gen erals, 'As the result of that war the In dians were Ideated by the government on the Colvllle Indian reservation, in Washington, and the land that had been theirs wns opened to settlement br the white m-n. The few pioneers who hud come In prior to the war, .and, whose presence had prompted if, Were soon Joined by others. Popula tion 'Increased, until by 1S88 thr9 were 1500 people within lis limits, oii.1 the legislature created the county cf Wallowa out of Union county. Th" population continued to grow, By J 900 In had reached fiOOO. and It Is now estimated to be approximately 000. Wallowa County Booklet. . ' .

While the yield Is not particu larly beyond normal, the increase! bearing acreage each year adds great ly to the volume. Those who attended the excursion to Wallowa enjoyed a pleasant day. and were royally entertained In the brief period of their stay, and to many this was their first view of Wallowa river and after its confluence with Grande Ronde presents quite a stream in Its onward rush to the sea.

If we understand It the Investment is not great and ihi return profitable. The Real "Labor Vote." While the Republican party was brought into belug by the tolling masses and Las achieved all Its suc cesses through their unfailing support. It has vigorously opposed every at tempt to require American wage earn ers to vote collectively, either In obedi ence to political bosses or as directed by self. tried "labor lesdAm" wh sometimes lend, but rarely labor. The Republican doctrine Is that every citi zen with a legitimate vocation who does his best day by day Is laboring mun In the truest sense of the term nnd that the ho called "labor qtiestlou" as related to party action Is one which must be settled by every Individual for himself throng!) such polltlcul agencies and organizations as he may consider most trustworthy. The Democratic purty, however.! has sedulously sought and Is still seeking to establish un antagonism of Interest between grades of labor whose inter ests ore Identical. It would have the worker In the mill believe that .the mill owner is his enemy. It would have employer and employee constant ly at war. though each knows that neither cuo prosper unless both are content Wherever or whenever a difference arises between oue group of laborers, who may be the Immediate producers of a given eomruuulfy. and another group, charged with the equally Important task of finding markets and consumer for the product the Democratic party uses tho event as tha pretext for 8 further appeal to the spirit of preju dice aud passion, always attempting to excite hostility between employer and employee. ' ' la all such cases the principle and practice of the Republican party are ex actly the reverse. It holds that con troversies between employer nnd em ployee are almost Invariably due to a misunderstanding of their mutual In terests and that a frank appeal to the reason and fait uilndedness of those coucerued. la nil that Is needed to effect so agreement honorable to both sides. The Democratic party rejoices in dis cord among the makers of national greatness. It fattens on public mis fortunov It finds In every misunder standing;, .between employer and em ployee an excuse for the sinister bint that those who nre In the market to buy labor nre the hntursl enemies of thoee who have labor to sell. On tho other liond. the Republican party recognize any serious disagree ment between tho sellers and the buy er of labor hom e-') the employee and the employer as a matter of grave concern to the general welfare, requir ing careful .nonpartisan scrutiny and wise legislation lo protect the common Interests of the people The Itepub Mean party has never rejoiced In hard times. It bus never applauded n panic or nu era of: lmelticss depression. It Is the party nf prosperity, not of calam ity. It Is "strongest when the people are happUf t. " It glories In their suc cesses, grieves for their misfortunes and dlKd.tlus to seek political advan tages In pulilr disnster. , The real "lalKir vote" In this country Is the American people, They make and mar the destinies of patties and candidates. Nothing Is so hateful to them ns the assumption that they can be delivered like sheep lit the shamble to any nominee of any party. This year's campaign Is a frank apieal to the Intelligence and patriot Istu of the American "labor rote," nnd the party which gave three martyrs Lincoln, Garfield and McKlnleyto the cause of the common people will accept the No vember verdict as on ef those judg ments which are "trus and righteous altogether."
