Just remember what a load the party has been carrying in New York for some time, and. to add to it all came the charge and proof of bribery in one section of the state. It was the Oregonian a few days go that said, "over in the Grande Konde valley where people hare heen raising excellent fruit and have baea too modest to say anything about it "J And that is the truth. Give Qriudo Jlonde valUy the Ifood' River "spiel ers" or the Medford bunch, who .1U regard modesty as the' ballet daK:i dlsrepards propriety and the Grande Ronde valley will be heard of around the world in a very short time. - We must strike the nappy med'.etn between Medford's bunch and our own tfmidlty.' We must begin megaphon lu0 ttuu kotsp a up. l ne goods are here to deliver. Land is cheaper to day In this valley, than It .should pe, nd much cheaper than any . plr.j else In the entire northwest. - We need an unanimous spirit li push forward on some slogan lint will bring results. Forget any local ritufttion that may not exactly pHtso you. ; forget any quarrels you "navs had with a neighbor, and stanl h' line for a campaign of honest effort for what T Not to delude the huun Beeker, not to force a skin game . the public, but to Implant that sp'en- did truth in the minds ' of all who will hear and be convinced, ,, It is the most Important thing to the valley at the present time, ar..1 i.' necessary we would suggest tr.at each cltlsen put his foot on his mod esty, loosen up his lungs, shake hands with his neighbor and say, "we am glong 1n this game to win." v " FAtOBIXG IMPROVEMENTS Senator Aldricb says' he will re tire from politics and refuse to be a candidate to succeed himself. Now, jthat is the proper position for the aged senator to assume. Mr. Aldrlch Is anything but a lovable character so far as the west Is concerned. : Senator Hale, also snys he will ro run again. If this personal refup-J campaign keeps, up perhaps Bob Lv Follette and Joe Brlstow will be .lefl to run the senate chamber without opposition.. ; ; ' ,.t . ,.; - IHBIHanHBSMeaHBSSaHBBMMnBHMMBMnBHMt noose veit film at Star Theatre Apr. 28.

' H is decidedly refreshing to see the attitude of pfopetty owners on , the Question of municipal improvement. When paving was first tallteJ jDf yot , s few citizens raised an objectirth.' They thought It wis useless to spqnd money In that way, for had not Jhe old streets done good, service in th? , past? .The same element thought tl - fid board sidewalks had been yood enough1 fov them to walk upon .and why expend money for concrete i. walks, and so "on down the line of things that aro needed. . But there Is a happy change over coming almost all of those who felt as above described. They are ieelng ihlngs In a different flight. Just who lifted the veil.' we cannot say but It hot been lifted. Now, Instead , of complaining Against paving the peo ple residing In certain districts-are naming the kind of. paving , desired,' and throughout the city . the spirit t of progression Is notlcablc nad mark-. "It has ceased to be a question, of whether or not La Grande will pave, but has reached a point as to how much La Grande will pave, and there la a possibility that this city before she Is through will have put In hard v surface pavement over a larger area A NEW ONE-PIECE COMBINATION Wast Dress for Children ksi We have , on sale this splendid innovation in chudren s dresses. , 1 THE ST BM Easily dered.
