While anything Is possible with an Oregon legislature as viewed by past experience, there does not eeem to be as much reason to expect that some other than Governor Cham berlain Is to be elected United States eenator, as there was several years ag ,. However bitter the pill may be to some, there Is but one thing to do. and that Is to elect Governor Cham berlain on the first ballot. Otherwise we may expert a recurrence of the cenes of other days when we had hold-ups end legislative deadlocks ami the entire session would become tan gled up In the election of a United States senator. The people as far as they could, decided to take this mat ter out of the hands of the legislature. nd they have said that George Cham berlain should be the net senator, and the will of the people should be respected. They may have made a mistake. The Observer thinks : that puch is the case, but a still greater one will bo made If the dictates of the peo ple are not followed."

No matter what tther attractions there may be, the ex- j ercises In the churches are always well attended and this Christmas was no exception. Those churches whose Sun day schools had exercise's either on Christmas eve or on Christmas, were filled. All were nicely decorated. Christmas trees were beautifully ar- ranged and in each instance every child and young person present went away with the echo of the songs of melody and Christmas cheer In their hearts. e - A rather unusual condition of things In any community of 6000, is the fact that there Is not a single young man who is preparing himself for either an attorney, physician or teacher. Sev eral business men this morning were discussing this feature and If there are any young men who are at present at tending either a law school or a medi cal college, or a young man preparing himself for a teacher In La Grande, none of them wee aawre of it, and these men were all In touch with edu catlonal matters. We will soon be thinking about city election. Under our new charter those elected the second Monday in March will only hold the office until January 1. and hereafter our election will be held In December instead of March. Dr. F. E.
