ELECTION NEXT TUESDAY.
While very little has been said re
garding the special election which will
be held . next Tuesday to decide
whether or not La Grande Is to have
, ., a new charter, It Is a 'mention that Is
, of vital interest to this city. Had the
proposed new charter been passed we
would now be supplied with water
" from Beaver creek. While the passage
of the new charter may not defeat the
. present bond ' issue, it may; and It Is
evident that the bidders are awultinp
. the result of the election Tuesday;
1 . owing to the fact that they have done
little. If anything to perfecting their
. purchnfw i.ini'p their biil wuw accepted,
y The city has certainly followed the
law carefully. , Every voter has been
given an opportunity'. to know, what
the proposed new charter contains.
; It not only published the entire chnr
... ter, but 1000 copies were Issued, in
pamphlet form and distributed. Thou
"; who' have not read It over may ennlly
find a "copy and between now and
y Tuesday look It over carefully,. Little
If any objection can be raised to the.
charter as a whole. WJjaf opposition
may be presented to the charter will
ndoubteny represent the opposition i
to the Beover creek project. The last
,: time the chaater 'was represented
things 'drifted, along Jm?t about a? they
ard now and when the votes were
counted, to the surprise of not a few,
It was defeated. Under the present
apathy a similar result could easily be
accomplished, : If the people really
:" degji-j Jno passage of the charter .-they
hust take suffk'knt interest to got the
i vote out. If they are, .Indifferent, the
result need not surprise anyone, whlch
. ever way It ' goes. , Every Voter in the
city is entitled to vote on it. Before
'women who Were tjixpayers were al
lowed the prlvelldga but K-ksI author

There are thousands of parents who
are thankful In their hearts that the
next few days, will witness the passing
of the football season. It no doubt
has seen Its climax for a time at least.
For the past few years It has held tin
attention of the public n greater ex
tent that baseball, but this year baso--.'
ball held the stase by a very l.use
. tnujortty. There, are two reasons for
this. One Is that the people genrrully
understand the game. It is safe to say
as a rule not 20 per cent of those at
tending football know .Very much
about It, their Interest waves up and
down in proportion to the number of
Injured carried away from the field.
The other reason Is that many parents
and school men favor baschnll in pref
erence to football, believing it the less
dangerous of the two.
The lumber Interests of the north
West are among the first to notl.e h
revival of trade fi.ll'.wlng the recent
presidential election. The lar;e luro
, ber yards In the east allowed their
stocks to be reduced to the lowest min
imum and In case Mr. Bryan had been j 4
....Aected ti-ey M-nnld Ha v . bos-n-fur.,.
" a while at least, in restocking, but I
-with Taft's election It Is reported that I v
orders are being rushed to the western t
mills. This is corroborated by the
number of loaded cars of lumber n'-vv I
t v
going east -as compared with tt few ; a
week ago...
