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

tinue the habit of having ladies re
move their hats during the services,

It will be only a few ; days until
the army ot census takers will be
gin the strenuous work of taking the
1910 census. 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.

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

; The great festival of .the'Chrisllan
year was kept at St Peters will all
the solemnity and - dignity , possible.
At the communion ot the parish; tb s
altar waa ablaze with lights ;and
beautified with fragrant Easter "lilies,
tulips" and "hyacinths. At .the fight
o'clock service there was more-than
twice the number at the same ser
vice of the previous Easter.' About
half past " ten " the ' congregation be
gan to assemble tor the principal ser
vice at eleven. The seating canactiy
began to be taxed.7 Eventual!?, near
ly every pew was nlled."8pecnl mus
ic ( as usual, had been prepared, both
the .choir and organist acquitting
themselves with distinction. The rec
tor preached on . the text, "The Lord
la risen, indeed,
showing what a re-
versal in the estimate of things this
fact has caused and' deducting there'
from a personal, national and indi
vidual application. ' 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.

Saturday sight meeting fails te bring
final aetloa.
At the special' meeting of the city

excess of the appropriation at hand,
no definite action was taken.,. Yes
terday, six councilmen,, together with
the Mayor, Water Superlntedent, and
the City Engineer visited .-the reser-
colr with a view . of ascertaining ; if
It could' be enlarged, i possibly by
building the walls three feet higher,
At the . next meeting.-a definite ac
tion will be taken. : -j
The pest house matter was arrang
ed whereby the house on the prop
erty purchased last week for sewer
age dumping can be used for such
purpose If necessary. i ; .7
In an informal way the near beer
ordinance was discussed and unless
there is a change of sentiment it la
more than likely that the license will
be reduced to $500 or $600 and to
keep closed, on Sundays. 7 . 7
