Usually when a campaign is so close at hand at the next (all there la considerable interest shown in who Is wanted for candidates. But Ore gon people are evidently too busy making money to pay any attention to pontics. - ' : There is argument for and against the assembly, but no one is paying a great amount of attention. The of fice of governor Is to be filled and 1 apparently no cares a rap who fills the gubernatorial chair. ' In Portland If you talk and politics ten chances to one the man you are talking to will switch the subject and say, "there Is a lot over there that sold for a hundred thousand dollars and the man who held the option made a nice thing out of it without Invest ing scarcely anything." Everyone knows there is to be an election, but big concerns are too bu sy counting their dividends and little concerns too busy figuring on expand ing to pay any attention. '. There is one time, however, when people pay strict attention to politics. It is when times are hard. Probably such a condition will not obtain for many years, but when It docs Just notice how every one tuniH to the next presidential election for relief one way or another.. History will repeat itself. It is a way nisiory nas, ana wnen tnat tune comes In Oregon political issues will be strong and thoroughly discussed. There will be no time then for some of the expensive isms and hysetrla which a statu y(h a fat pocket book Is JWW indulging In, but there wl" be time for a good, sound, sensible argument and selection of men who w)l fednrc CJlnse? rather than In creasing them , at the Bame time claim Ing to be friends of the people. WELCOME, NEIGHBORS, WELCOME Today La Grande is extending the right hand of fellowship to a number of business men from Union. And In doing so tbis city is expressing it self in a most friendly way to those who, next to the residents of La Grande, have the interests of this town at hand. Union has adopted a magnificent attitude of progression and her com mercial circles propose to emulate and eprpetuate the feeling until it ripens into the onward tendency that makes big towns out of small towns and cities out of big towna. . The Union commercial club la tour ing the valley for two purposes. One Is to advertise the stock ahow that will be given there next month and the other to get better acquainted with the other towns of the valley Tha ant tifctn lima from their re spective buslneaa, yet there is no com plaint heard for they reallie that such a thing la essential in this day of advanced methods. La Grande people gracefully met the Union neighbor! and at a dinner this afternon pledges of friendship, commercial and social, were made In a war that cannot be mistaken. Henceforth, if Union wants any thing La Grande has she does not HBTB w UK iur ii, iur iuo eiuvnc house ta always open, and the same it vice versa. Extension of this splendid feeling to Elgin. Wallowa, Enterprise and to Joseph is now In order. Who will be the first to arise and make the mo . tion for a commercial body of wide cope to cover the two counties and cover them properly? years who is disgusted with the northwest. This man was going back to Chicago a few nights ago and he delighted in abusing Oregon, calling the people fakirs, Baying the -towns were all overestimated and many things that were not complimentary. Later we found that he had been in a poker game down in Portland and lost $800 Sore, of course he was sore, who wouldn't be? lobster Train Through Here. .By the courtesy of the Harrlman railroads which hauled them free of charge to Oregon, 2052 colonists were added to the population of the stata yesterday afternoon. For , conven ience of transport they traveled in one car, says a Portland paper. The new batch of settlers were a promising bunch of young lobsters destined for Yaqulna bay, In an eflort to establish lobstern on the . Pacific coast. They traveled with the super intendent of the Boothby Bay, Maine, hatchery, E. E. Hahn, in charge. In addition to the lobsters, there were 2,000,000 lobster eggs, which were unloaded at Yaqulna and placed j In charge of the superintendent of the Clackamas hatchery, who will de vote his time to their hatching. t: nr th lobsters. 1200 were female without eggs, 152 had eggs attached to their tails in large quantities and 7flO wars mnloo Af Ynmilna fhpv . will be taken out to sea in a tender and unloaded about the bay. It takes six years for a lobster to reach a marketable afte from the egg condi tion. The greatest difficulty in bringing out the lobsters was to keep the car at a temperature of 40jdegrees. This was done by cracked ice, but owing to the extremely warm weathur when the car left the Atlantic coast, three days previously, the lobsters were at a temperature of 50 degree until the car ran into a blizzard in Wyoming. At Portland the right temperature was maintained. The car was iced at Buffalo, Chica go, Omaha, Pocatello, Huntington and Greeu River. Mr. liahn'had to visit the car several times a day and to sprinkle water on the crustaceans, which were packed in layers, four deep, between rock seaweed. o Scoops on Census. (By J. F. Dyer) ' Washington, May 25 (Special) Now that the census enumerators have finished their work, every community In the country is holding its breath, figuratively speaking, and listening with every muscle tense for the an nouncement from Washington which will confirm its hope that it has out grown some rival community, or tell I it that its hopes are not well founded. I And it may not accept the verdict at all, for some of the growing and am bitious cities have caused delay until they could prove ithat everyone with in their borders had been counted. Two cities which were so thorough ly satisfied the census enumerators had skipped a large number of their itizens that they were not willing to abide by 'the results are Galveston and Houston. These cities decided to have au independent count made by their own representatives. The com mercial organizations communicated with the Director of the Census and secured his consent to have the local supervisor of the census In Galves- GEORGE PALMER, Fres W. L.

Not many ci ties have gone so far, although It seems that almost everywhere there have been complaints that everyone has not been counted, and the time for closing the lists very frequently has been extended. Seattle and Port land are among the cities which have not been satisfied that the work was well done. Sacramento, San Fran cisco, Los Angeles, and in fact, many western cities, have exhibited doubt;; about the count. In San Francisco It was claimed that 5000 Chinese who were engaged every year in the Alas kan fisheries should be credited to San Francisco. Seattle also claims some of these fishermen. It is alleged that they work for about three months In the north and then return to their home cities for the remainder of the year. The census office is now en gaged in verifying these claims. In most cases the returns from the field state and city have not been received at Washington at this writ ing.' It will be the policy of the cen sus bureau to verify all figures and data on receipt as Tar as possible. For instance, if a inan says that he was born on January 1, 1880 and he is 28 years old, the clerks will change ilio uftuici auj nSo his 20 y?.r old.
