FOLK'S KEW ISSUE.
' Joseph Folk, ex-governor of Mis
souri, has come out square-toed for
equal suffrage, strange as it may
seem. , And he Is going to make
speeches along that line. This Is
Interesting even if most of us do not
Agree with the governor, for we are
anxious to hear how a fall -Hedged

Folk Is due to speak in La Grande
during the Chautauqua and likely he
will use his new text. It will be
worth everyone's while to hear him,
- for Folk Is a man of experience and
one whom the nation must reckon
with. ' in Missouri it was not possl
ble for him to hold the prestige that
he gained over Sam Cook and the
remainder of the old. machine, but he
paved the way for Herbert Hadley to
be elected governor on a Republican
ticket which waa a surprise to the
world. Yes, everyone should hear
Joe Folk.
THE LITTLE RAILROAD TO UM0X.
There is a couple of steel rails and
rlghtofway between Union junction
and Cove that at present 1b rather a
nuisance to the advancement of the
Grande Ronde valley. It is poorly
conducted, has a miserable roadbed
and seems to be running on a shoe
string, Perhaps it gets more genuine
"cussing" than any other institution
In Union county and very often it de
serves what it gets. '
But there may be a future for that
little railroad. It looks as though
there Is a future for it, and a good
one if the men behind It are blessed
With good mother wit.
' Thin valley Is going to be) densely
populated. . You can't 6et way rom-
that fact. The progress of Immlgra- VA

thousands more people which In turn
will call for more business concerns
and larger Institutions. All parts of
the valley will stand intensive farm
ing and pay enormous dividends. But
intensive farming is not successful
without rapid and modern transpor

little road to Union and Cove can be
