Governor Benson says he win can
a special session of the legislature to
pass the ICth amendment to the Fed
eral constitution, but it will be sub
mitted to the next regular session.
The coming fair is the next big
thing of a public nature that will In
terest the county as a whole. The
encouragement the committee is re
ceiving is certainly a stimulus for
them to make this the greatest fair
" held In the county for years.

With one railroad, and possibly two
headed into central Oregon, we may
not hear so much regarding the enact
ment of a constitutional amendment
for the building of state railroad.
While the suggestion met with no
strong opposition there is really no
enthusiasm toward it. Our state is
out of debt and there are few who
would have it otherwise.

President Taft and President Diaz
will meet at Elpaso, Texas, October
16. President Taft is one of the big
gest presidents of the biggest re
publics on earth and President Diaz
is one of the biggest presidents of one
of the smallest republics on earth.
This meeting will doubtless result in
closer relations between these two
adjoining republics. A great deal of
American capital has poured Into
Mexico within the past few years and
the Mexican government Is giving It
welcome.

THE PROBABLE OPENING PRICE.
Bluest em wheat is quoted today in
Portland at one dollar per bushel,
which means about 85 cents In Grande
Ronde valley, and this is the price
.,. that the market is expected to start
off with and will probably remain
at about this figure throughout the
season. With our large yield and
this exceptional renumerative price
there will be all kinds of money in
this county this year. The hayman
has reason to rejoice here also there
is no trouble to secure $13 for good
timothy and alfalfa commands attrac
tive figures. In fact what is there
that Is produced in large quantities
In this county that is not bringing in
top notch prices?
