Thi first Juror in the notorious Cal houn case has been selected after ex amining 1,500 talesmen. At tills rate It will require the examination of no 1'cs than r.0.000 jurors before the necessary 12 men are secured. If you have not taken the time to this season do so a t your first op walk up the hill in west La Grande portunity, and after' viewing the city and valley beautiful you will want to take the next visitor you meet up there and permit him to Bee the same panorama. fr&3 It Is stated that as a result of pro hibition the revenues of the govern ment for the year ending June 30 have been reduced $5,290,773 on whiskey and $2,351,205 making a total of $7, 641,978. It will require quite a while even at this rate to secure absolute prohibition as the total revenues from whiskey and beer for 1908 were $192, $24,445. The city of Estacada, near Portland, has been torn with factional strife for many months. Our former fellow townsmen E. W." Dartlett moved to this city last fall and those who are acquainted with him are well aware , he could not help getting into the po litical game. We do not know the issue involved, but it must have been pretty warm as Mr. Bartlett was ar rested for earn ing a concealed weap on, the trial to take place on the loth.

Will POST DIRECTORIES ' At a meeting of the executive com mittee of the Young People's Union, a union of all of the Christian asso ciation of the churches of La Grande, last night, it was decided to place in all of the hotels, the postoflice and other public places, a complete di rectory of all of the churches of tho city. The directories will contain the meeting hours of the churches and all additional information that will tell the strangers In the city where and when to go to worship. Other important business was tran sacted and it was decided that the next meeting of the union would be on the second Sunday in October at the Methodist church. JAP HAS TROUBLES WALLA WALLA, Aug. 3. Uncle Sain never experienced more trouble in launching a battleship on the briny deep than have Frank Ishikiro, a Jap, and Mrs. Minnie Crockett, his would be white bride in their efforts to get started on the matrimonial seas. The two applied for a marriage license yesterday afternoon and after secur ing it tried two judges and many of the ministers of the city In their effort to get "spliced" but up until a late hour last night had not succeeded, ac cording to some of the neighbors of Mrs. Crockett who resides at 629 North Elgth street. Judge Thomas 1) rents and Justice T. M. McKInney both refused to per form the ceremony on the grounds that they did not believe In mixed races, nnd several ministers turned the couple down last nlgbt. When a reporter called at the Crockett home last night he could get no response, but the nelshbors seemed to be well posted and said they had not heard of the couple's success. In tnlklng to one of the court house Otllcials yesterday, Mrs. Crockett, who has been married before and Is now employed In a local laundry, said: "Object to mixed races? Well. 1 should say I do not. Don't you know that lif is too short to be race prejudiced." It Is not known what the next move of the couple will be but they will probably go to some town where dally newspapers do not circulate and be fore the ministers of that city become aware of the stand taken by the min isters of this city, will have the cer emony performed.
