GIVE IT A FAIB TRIAL. The tew montha'preceedlng the last , . lo-jue was whether or not Statement No. 1 was to be adopt ed, now we have the assembly prob lem to tct out. Those who get their Angers schorched in the last cam paign might - take a lesson In the school of experience. The present sys tem, while It is new and subject to tome criticism nevertheless, the rot tenness of the on convention, system la this state was the causa of the people adopting the direct . primary law, and the memory ot the past will keep many from desiring to retrace their steps. Better give the new law a few more trials belora it is declared a failure. Remember the .state has been rid of bosses for at least two years, something that has not been possible for the preceedlng twenty nve. DANGER IX SIGHT. A leader or a statesman is certainly needed in Spokane. Things should be called to a halt. Both sides are play-, ing the game too strong and neither side is big enough to give and take, so that matters could straighten out of themselves. Instead of putting the would-be orators on a rock pile, under present conditions, they had better give them a barbaque and sentence them Individually to speak for two hours In the center of the street. Of course talk and suggestions are cheap at a long distance, but if something is not done, and that very soon, the un dertakers will be reaping a harvest rhlle'the nation Is being dishonored. xt . ' CANNON' IX DANGER. Six weeks hence congress will as semble and the Indications are that this will be one of the livliest sessions held in many years, Uncle Joe Cannon will have to keep his ear pretty close to the ground or he may have diffi culty In retaining his seat. ILdoes not seem possible to defeat him, he is a man of large experience and it no doubt would be a loss to the country In general If he were, but it is evi dent that he has abused his power and if he does not follow a more open door policy it might be beneficial to the country at large to retire him to his seat on the floor. FURNITURE FACTORY NEEDED. There seems to be a rplendld open ing In this city for a small furniture factory. After it was thoroughly estab llshed it might not be so small. Most all large factories had' a beginning. During the last few weeks freight rates have advanced and this would materially help a local industry. There are many thousands of dollars worth .of pine and fir furniture Bhtpped In to Baker, Union, Wallowa and Umatil la counties that could be made just as cheap here as in Portland Or Tacoma. BARGAIN. TJpos a Hardmaa Parlor Grande Piano. To be sold at a very low price, and upon easy term sof payment Those considering the purchase of a strictly high grade piano, and one of the finest shipped to Eastern Oregon, this deal Is open for your consideration.

He said that they were preparing, however, to furnish power w any other company that might plan to build a line. Mr. Cummina 17 yeara ago put in the present water work system for -a Grande and has been identified with several big engineering projects of tho Eastern portion of Oregon.

Druggist i d LOCAL PLAYHOUSES. d The thirty-two youngest, and it is safe to say the prettiest, girls ever seen In musical comedy will be found in "Lo," on Monday night at the Stew ard opera house. All but five of them were totally Inexperienced when they attended their first reherBal and as a consequence they work with a dash and enthusiasm which is impossible to I obtain with more blase and experienc ed girls. The work Is play to them and they smile and laugh and romp through the eighteen musical numbers which A. Baldwin Sloan wrote for 'Lo" with as much enjoyment as have the aud ience Itself. When "Lo" is presented here, It will have been played only about 30 times and as a consequence, the costumes and scenery are all ab solutely new and fresh, for it goes to the Grand Opera House, Chicago for a long run very soon. Absolutely no ex pense was spared In producing it. Al ready people all over the country are whistling its "Little Old Main Steet," 'You can Always be My Sweetheart", Tammany on Parade," "Good morning Mr. Sailor," "Snap Shots," and "Tu catan." The seat sale opens Saturday at Van Burens. Price 50c to $1.50. These are the same prices charged for "Lo" at the Bunglow theatre Portland, November 12 and 13, and during its phenomlnal two week's engagement in Seattle. ' . "Happy Hooligan" Laxt Night One of the largest houses for several weeks ventured out last night to the Scenic theatre to witness "Happy Hooligan" a "45 minutes from ennlu comedy and it Is not overestimating when we say they laughed 44 min utes of the 45.
