The city ot Ellensburg, Wash., is advertising for bids for ite, first at? tempt at street paving. Their spec flcatlons call for three kinds, brick, t asphalt and blthutlthic and bids for " all three kinds are being asked for;; Fastei' was a bright sunny day. with only one little shower. Now the question is did it rain sufficiently U bear out the old legend . that if .It rains on Easter day it will rain Jor seven following Sundays. At the conclusion -of the revival aervlces if the churches will con tinue the habit of having ladies re move their hats during the services, they - will find It easier to get men to attend.

Every precinct, nook and corner ot the United States will be searched. Not only will the peo pie be enumerated but a vast amount of desirable information secured re- gardlng every Industry in; our land. ( La Grande suffered, as it will be re membered in the 1900 census and It required considerable work ou the part of the Commercial Club to get It' partly straightened out" It might be well for the Club this year to have a committee appointed : to see that another blunder Is not made this ' year. ' "- It Is well that competition has been secured in the matter of street paving. The Barber Asphalt . Com pany of Portland, last wee ksecure 1 j bid on the basis ot $1.44 per square pany of Portland last week secured that work In that city. The lowest previous price was $160 per square yard, the lowest price ever bid for less than $3.00 was possible. The city council and the property own ers must work In harmony In thls Batter, Thousands ot dollars will1. be spent In Lai Grande this year for street improvements and every ef fort should and undqnbtedly will be directed toward securing the b8t of trorkmanshlp an dthe lowest- possi ble price. . e ' ' The assembling of 700 youths of the 'various Sundsy' 'Schools In the - tabernacle yesterday was ru lnsplr ; Ing sight The Sunday Schools of La Grande are a credit to the city find the membership comprised there In Is a power for the future up building of higher citizenship. No "small amount of credit due. the pres ent temperence movement can be ! traced directly to the Sunday .schools of the ' land. . The. total abstlnance taught in these bible schools is al so one of the causes why the mor tality tables of the .life . insurance companies show that life in the Unit ed States is becoming longer than ruriueri.

' The offering; which is mainly for missionary, pur poses, was the largest taken at one service, since the present rector has been. In charge.' ; . ; 5 . A good congregation also assem bled In the afternoon for the child-, dren's services, which they render ed very creditably. The Lenten of fering of the Sunday School was re ceived and. proved to be larger than that Of last year, with more boxes yet to come in. This also goes for missionary purposes. : This evening at half past seven the annual parish meeting will be held for the election of the vestrymen.
