PASSING OF THE PIOXEEtt
' When death claims a familiar per
son such as Grandma Palmer was to
everyone in this part of Oregon, It
takes from this active world a decided
ly important person While the grim
reaper is a thing none can avoid, and
it is best to be ready to meet the end,
we can none of us hear of the death
of a sturdy pioneer without a feeling
of personal loss.
Grandma Palmer and . those of her
. i um piuuiui m this day,
She knew, what It was to endure
'hardships that make men and wo
men. The present generation re
clines on a bed of roses, as it were,
compared with those excellent human
beings who braved the desert heat
and storms to cross the divide and set
tle such beautiful ' valleys as the
Grande Ronde. They deserve the pro-
found love and respect of all of us,
and we believe they have It.
Building a country and making his
tory every day after they left the'v
eastern homes, these early fiCU!-:o
laid a strong .foundation for f!n -resent
great and ..gtorhin ;s?U(',-; itl Ore
gon and Washington. To them noth
ing was too Bevere an obstacle to ov
ercome and master. Had it not been
so one by one they would have sunk
by the wayside and the west would
j not have been permanently Bettled
until years after It was.
The remarkable woman who has
-Just been called to her long home pos
sessed a ; very Btrong character. As
an Individual she was remarkable. In
the closing years of her life she fre-
jquently recited early history of the
east , and west, giving accurate . ac
counts of important happenings and
always delighted in giving young peo
ple the benefit of knowledge she had
Sained while assisting in building
the west. ... . ....,'. . '
- Grandma Palmer will ' be greatly
mlssed and the Grande Ronde by her
death, lost a good mother and valu-
: able citizen. '"' '-'"-

REGISTERS HIS OBJECTION.
The following letter waB received
by the Observer from Hubbard, Ore
gon and speaks tor Jtself:
To the Editor I notice on the edl
trolal page of yesterday's Oregonlan
an article credited to the Observer.
I wish to thank you for words fitly
Bpokenln regard to the horde of In
spectors livinc off tbe tax payers of
the tsate like son many coromants
The last time the factory Inspector
inflicted his presence on us he had
to admit that the law favored the large
corporations. And now they want to
inipose on us yet more by having a
building inspector, so that if one
wanted, to rebuild his hen house or
his pig sty, one would first have to
call the Inspector, who would come
In the most expensive way over the
longest route he could find, charglnc
fees and mileage either against the
j builder or against the "Deer Peeple."
How long, OhI Lord how long must
the people be inflicted with these
Urenic measures. Then there are
the county division abuses and the
Good Roads Bond issues. Let the vo
ters who have the good of their state
or county at heart turn out and vote
no on these propositions with a
big ,v : :.'.. - '
The writer lived nineteen -years in
a county with a bonded, road In
debtedness, and has been twenty-one
years away , from there, and these
bonds Issued In 1871 are today three
times the original amount and the
end Is not yet Do we want such a
condition here that Is the question?
Again thanking you for your time
ly words and hoping that I will not
exhaust your patience I sign myself

' Some of these days we will hear of
a fortune being made In some of the
mines around Joseph and there will
be a rush to the Wallowa counntry
and it will be the llvliest spot west
of the Rocky mounutains for a while.
There is a cause foj this belief. Take
a look at some of the ore Bamples
that are coming, from That countr..
When men like Louis Hill openly
charge the government with splitting
hairs over' the public domain. It
means a great deal. It has become
almost impossible for a man to live
in a region , where there is govern
ment land without becoming entang

departments ' ,'
In speaking of Hot Lake kindly bear
In mind that It is located JuBt out
side the city limits of La Grande and
Is a part and portion of this commu
nity. And we might add that it ie
a part of ; which La Grande and the
whole of this valley Is proud.
It has been suggested that Elgin
have a float this year at the apple
show showing the Garden of Eden.
But what is the ubs of a float? Climb
to one of the high points In the foot
hills and view the Grande Ronde val

It does not make, everyone fat to
