A Cl'IUFEH SUGGESTION.
"I am In favor of a curfew,' a good,
at ron r curfew and one that is in use,"
declared Judge Glillland of the uve
nlle court thla morning to the East
Oregpnlan of Pendleton. "I think
that not only should every town have
a curfew but there should be one In
very home, especially in towns like
thin where the curfew ordinance Is
not rigidly enforced.
"Here' what, I would recommend.
It's a curfew I've been reading about
In this newpuper hee, and it stlkeB
me that it la the best emedy I have
tuck yet. I believe I know what 1
'apeak of, too, for there are" mighty
few cases that hove come before the
Juvenile court where this remedy
would not have sufficed. , More than
-that, these crufews are home-made
and inexpensive. Getour your pencil
and I'll, give you directions ao that
anyone In the county can fix up one
lor his own home. I'm ao confident
of the value of these that, If anyone
can't afford but needs one and will
, use It, I'll provide It, myself. For
the others, however, here are the dl
, xectlopa: t ;
Take a piece of siding two feet long
and whittle one end down to a handle;
take the child that needs the curfew
and bend it over a barrel. Now take
the elding In hand and use it as a
clapper. Put It on hot, divide the
strokes e"enly and see that none miss,
flood for a boy or girl up to the age
of 16, and three applications are war
ranted to cure the most pronounced
case of street loafing that evlsts. The
music is said to be finer than singing
"Where ! My Wandering Boy To

A With a 1180,000 municipal water
plant, the bonds for which have al
roadv been sold, with a $400,000 irri
gation project, with one-half of the
required acreage already secured;
with a public park backed by the most
patriotic band of women, veterans
who never lower their flag on any
proposition, and a new high school
building, La Grande and Union coun-
ty will enter upon the new year with
a realization that much is to be ac
complished during the next few
months. The period of Inactivity that
always precedes a presidential elec
tion Is a thing of the past. The great
northwest Is to be the scene of activi
ty on every hand during 1909, and we
re in line for progress second to no
community within this great common
wealth. The man who today owns
real estate In this city and valley, by
aiding the development that is now
being promoted, with every assurance
of success, will see lit holdings grow
in value rapidly within the next 12
months.

llll FAITH
" ---111 SUCCESS
"We are going to get the required
acreage." These were the worus
spoken this morning by J. D. McKen-
non, chairman of the soliciting com
mittee to secure the 20,000 acres re
quired under the proposed Irrigation
project. Anyone hearing the emphatic
manner Ir which he spoke those words
could not but have taken renewed
faith tn the early suiccess of tho un
dertaking. Next week Chairman Me
Kennon will start his committee out.
and it Is to be a finish flghl until the
remaining 10,000 acres of land Ih se
cured.
PleUlor Seltxtod.
Last night the Commercial club se
cured the services of Engineer Tick
ler to run the line for the ditches and
laterals.
Everybody has taken renewed In
terest In the entire project and one
and all feel and express their confi
dence that the entire matter is to be
closed up right away.
There has never been any opposltior
toithe project. Everyone "recognize
the benefits to be derived and all have
been hopeful from the start, but af
ter the first attempt, which resulted
In such a large acreage so easily,
every one seemed willing to let the
other fellow do the work, with the re
sult that little progress was made.
It was the busy season, too, and
what seemed at that time apathy, has
once more been turned into enthusl
asm. Mr. McKennon expressed the
sentiment that finds immediate re
soonse by all who have given the mat
ter consideration, when he stated that
this Is the biggest thing that this val
ley has ever attempted to secure.
Something that will make It possible
for more people to make a living off
of the, same acreuse Lima anything
that possibly could be done. Think
of the government project a few miles
west of Pendleton, at Hermlston, the
purchasers are limited to 40-arre
tracts and it was only this week that
a lino of people snt up all night In
front of the door of the United States
land office, In order to be the first to
have an opportunity to make their
filings on the Irrigated land. They
paid $60 per acre for It. Our propo
sition only costs $20 per acre for the
land and we have 10 years to pay for
It. There are mighty few acres of
land that cannot be made to pay for
this perpetual water right In one year.
Another point In our favor as com
pared to some irrigation projects I
the absolute assurance of securln&am
ple water. We have the water ever
year in abundance. A natural reser
voir, n natural channel for 20 miles,
and a valley that lies Ideal for dis
tribution. All we want is the Interest
to direct lis completion and we have
that. Talk with the members of the
committtec an 1 imbibe some of their
enthusiasm and you will readily un
derstand how all of this is to be
brought about.

The states which particularly figure

these states have gifted tongues, and
they will speak with moving eloquence
of the virtues and value of corn.
