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.

' 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.

Baker City, are in La Grande today
looking over the line and plants re
cently purchased .from the Grande
Ronde Electric Company. With them

eastern capitalists who are interested
jointly with the Baker City men in
the big projects in Eastern Oregon.
lue party came In last evening from
Cove, where they have been inspect
ing the power plant and today will
l:;It .Morgan lake. This Is Superintend
ent Fern aid's first visit to La Grande
although Manager Harmon has been
here a number of times. ,
Engineer Cummlnga Is the man who
planned the Morgan lake enterprise
for the old company.
When asked regarding the possibil
ities of the Eastern Oregon Light and
Power Company putting in electric
railroads Manager Harmon said the
company contemplated no direct work
in that line now. 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. He
naturally interested u the ew
water project which is to displace the
old one of such long standing.

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. This scream maker will
be on at the Scenic for the balance ot
tho week with Saturday matinee and
closes Sunday night. Come and have
a laugh with Hooligan.
