How few of us realize the import ance of a king.' Especially the Amer ican people who are taught that mon archies are wrong and that royal ' blood is no better than the blood which furnishes life to the man who digs a'sewer ditch. V ; Yet the death of King Edward has pracucaiiy stopped an uuaiuti u.u. actions of any size. The great Eng lish nation stands with bowed head and sorrowful heart today, forget ting Its commercial duties in order to pay Just and proper respect to the man who ruled the nation. As a matter of fact the odium at tached to the title of king is over- : drawn.' It has been ' handed down to posterity from days when tyrants reigned and thereby has acquired the hatred of liberty loving people. King Edward's power was probably not as great as the president of the United States, yet he was looked upon with that peculla feeling always shown to a king or a monarch of any. title His desire to help his people was always foremost and Instead of rul ing like kings in a story book Ed ward "adopted as near a' democratic manner as was possible in England. 1 He was ft great 'man a man who was capable of large undertakings. 'hnnlrt ' ha nihil, ttla hnilv IIab In 1 state, and the English Nation is quiv ering today lest the king who fol lows Edward will not be able to make good.' " . l ''.; OXE WAT TO HATE A FRUIT f C0U5TBY. . .There has been a fruit Inspector appointed for Union county, which is the proper thing. It is impossible to have a fruit country unless the laws of spraying and pruning . are Jtflctly observed, and the only way to have them observed is to have an ' officer see to their enforcement. Hu manity Is a little negligent at best, - and if there is nothing done to de mand spraying and pruning usually everything goes along in the same eld -way. : ,-,'' . j . ,:. , Hood River has made good for two reasons: The climatic conditions and soil are right and the fruit growers obesrve the laws of spraying and .' pruning to the letter. 'In the Grande Ronde valley the climate and Boll are doing their part, but the grower ;. Ir many cases Is not doing his. It is easy to turn capital seeking fruit land away from this valley for i the very reason that growers are not GEORGE PALMER, Pres W. L. BBENUOLTS, AssH Cash. F. J.

The good roads problem is one that is never solved.; Here in Union county' the court has begun work which if continued for a number of years will have a beneficial effect and cause the desire for macadam to spread. ' This county is fortunate, in having some action taken in this important matter for usually there is a wave of agitation vand then the good roads are forgotten for many weeks. - ' . More than a year ago Judge Scott came up from Salem and talked good roads. , Somehow the. Judge failed to make his vaccination stick and in a few days no one thought .' any more about It There was some suspicion that the Judge was grooming a gub ernatorial boom at the- same time, attnougu Bucli mat "! ' iCTC : tctrr. ture. At any rate Judge Scott's visit did not . cause any road making; - On May 19th. La Grande is to have a federal good roads man here who will talk highways from the govern ment's viewpoint and it will bo well for a large number of people to hear him. : Vv' ; Everyone admits tnat better roads mean money saved. It is easy to fig ure and always has been, but the road question is one that Invariably goes by default unless it Is taken by a county court as In the case of Un ion county. One thing Is very pleasant: No one Is trying to connect Uncle Joe Cannon with the scandal of the Illi nolae leglslatpre. A news story says, "Hill Likes Oregon;" And it might be handed back that. Oregon is stuck , on Hill, for through him the cork of the bot tle .was pulled : letting a great em pire see the light of day. Oregon would llkr to have Jim Hill for a citizen. "' : - : ' in tending its line on to Elgin thjfEastern Oregon Light and' Power company Is keeping pace with the general growth of this part of the country. While most of ba, current is generated in the sparcely settled regions of Baker and Grant countleB it Is fine that a valley so thickly" set tled as the Gronde Ronde offers a good market for that current. - Baker county republicans have adopted the "Assembly" plan and se lected delegates a few days ago to attend the state meeting at. Portland. The democrats there have not stated Just what they wlll do, and they may have no place for the favored few to meet since Sam White has moved his law office to Portland. - Portland must not think that Sea ttle will not show up well in the census business. If there "is any thing the Seattle bunch are past mas ters in It Is In making figures look as they want them to look. C C FEJilNGTOH G, L. CLEAYEB F. M. BTRK1T Tf. L. BREMIOLTS PIESCE ana . , , . Mlltcn, Oregon js to have a straw berry day in June, ; which really should be a luscious occasion. - An editorial appeared In the Ob server last evening taken from the Joseph Herald. It was captioned, "Oh, Pshaw," but no credit appeared. Evidently the Joseph Herald seeks to have a Jittle fun with the La Grande high Bchool. But the editor of that paper does not realize what he Is taking or he would go slow. 1 1 NOTICE FOB PUBLICATION ISO. LATEO TRACT Pnbllc Land Sale. Department of the Interior, U. S.
