Time to me this truth hath taught - Tl a truth that's worth vcallng More offend from want thought Than from want of feeling re- of Many a tear of wounded pride. Jinny a fault of human -Blindness, ... Has been Boothed or' turned ; aside By a quiet voice of kindness. . The machinery of the city will soon be empowered with authority of en forcing the local option law. For many weeks the city government hue been more or lens severely criticized - for its Inactivity along these lines. Under the old charter, after the pas sage of the general local option law, the city government was deprived of legal authority to act. - Thin matter was rectified In the new charter and the passage of the ordinance passed last night which will go Into effect January 4 next, will give the police department every power and authori ty that exists by the sheriff or county officials. The ordinance also provides the same punishment as the state law. With this addition a conviction before the city recorder does not prevent the county from taking up the same case and securing a conviction. In other words, If a violator of the local option law pleads guilty before the city ro corder, the records of the city could be produced before the grand Jury or the circuit court and would be suffi cient to convict. It often requires a little time to get the machinery of justice revolving and now tnut ine city officers can no longer remain Hi lent and blind without exesue, and the city cun rcaltee an Income from the fines It In expected that the pres ent number of violations will soon be materially reduced.

The authorities fcre going to enforce the ordinance. The people generally demand It and It Is the same old story when they de mand a thing they usually get. It. The ordinance Is all right. It should be enforced and It will be. A few fines will make every one alt up and take notice. r.Iryde riders and pedoxtii ans have rights.. The low provides what these rlshis are. Keep within the law? and save trouble. 4 Those having bills against the city most remember that hills will not be allowed the first evening presented. This, In some Instances, will work a hardship on some men; however. It Is the only thing to do. No finance com mittee can do Itself or the city Justice by auditing and passing upon a large butch of bills the night, they are pre sented. Since the council, under the n w charter, must meet twice each month hereafter, claimants against the city will have no lunger to vil f( their money than under the system we tiave been working under. - What Is your opinion? Did Chief of Police BIggy drown accidentally. ' commit suicide, or simply step Into an other boat and skip out? Whatever you may think, you will find not few of the same opinion.

R. & X. that has for its primary purpose the permission of successful racing by the Harriman transcontinental line with the Hill lines that rush Into Portland over the new North Bank road. It Is the purpose of the Harriman officials to .educe the running tlmo several hours be tween Chicago and Portland, and In two Instances the new schedule will have a considerable effect In La Grande. While nothing definite Is an nounced, rumors have it that passen ger trains Nos. Z ana 6, mo easmouna, ill not leave Portland as early as formerly and consequently reach La Grande at a later hour. This la es pecially true of the morning train which Is rumored to be due, after Sunday, at 8 o'clock rather tfian at 6:45. What the changes with No. 2 will be. If any, Is not announced, either. The Westbound Trains. The westbound trains wilt reach La Grande considerably earlier hereafter. It is said that No. 5 will reach here about the same time that No. 2 does, and In the morning.

Is coming through La Orande tomorrow morning on No. 1, according to tralnment from Green itiver mis muiitiun. T!,; ippcirar.cc of tne new cars has been delayed a few days. LWHT PLANT Because cold weather came on at a time when the wfntnr In Rock creek was at a low stage, thereby caualng a rreczo-iip. that Is the renson why the Baker Light & Power company has experienced no end of tribulations this past week, says the Baker Demo crat this morning. It la on of tlione non-preventable things that the weather ha all to do with, however much the power company makes an effort. Manager Ijimlihth suld yes terday: "The Interrupted service is caused by l:e lodging in the nozzle at the Rock. Creek power house. The com pany has spared no expense to reme dy this diffleulty nnd Is employing 12 extra men chopping Ice to allow the flow of water to the reservoir. This condlilon Is alwnys brought about by the first freeie. especially when there iw a lu &tae or wuLr a lV,-:e I this year, but It Is only a temporary hin drance. A fall of maw will prevent a rccurenee."

"Tn treating pneumonia," says Dr. w. J. Smith of Sanders, Ala., "the only remedy I use for the lungs is Chamberlain's cough remedy. While, of course, I would treat other symp toms with different medicines. I have used this remedy many times in my medical practice and have yet failed to find a case where it has not controlled the trouble. I have used it myself, as has also my wife for coughs and colds repeatedly, and I most willingly and cheerfully recommend it as superior to any other cough remedy to my knowledge."
