The recent failure of such a large

In the demand for higher interest rates
Is the attitude of the private Investor,
who la no longer willing to accept the
est level, this condition is not one of
permanency, but will be subject to a
radical readjustment that will ere
long make its appearance. Says one
student of the situation: The recent
difficulty in placing new security Is
sues is due to two causes. The first
Is the diminished supply of available
capital for productive enterprise in
the United States, individual and
public extravagance, municipal as
well as National, has absorbed the
ordinary savings of the country to a
greater extent than heretofore. An in
creasing percentage of public and
private expenditures for several years
past has been for account of non-productive
purposes.
The second cause , is the necessity
on the part of the individual if not
of the Institutional Investor for a
higher return in the form of interest
rates. The National and municipal ex
penditores are constantly calling for
higher taxes, and the increasing with
drawal of men and means from pro

The telegraphic story appearing in
last night's Observer to the effect ttiat
railroads of the west had discharged
several thousand employes does not
look good, and while It docs not in
dicate that a panic or hard times arc
about to be precipitated it does Im
press unon the nubile that something
J! is wrong.
The labor problem is today the
hardest one to solve. Demand 1b
greatre than the supply and men for
public works are hard to get and much
harder to keep. Such a bitter feeling
is engendered against the foreigner
that most corporations have a re-
luctancy In turning construction of

guage. ,
Then, too, things are not settled at
Washington regarding railroad legis
lation. There is a spirit of unrest
and in all probability the railroads
desire not only to retrench but to
make somewhat of a demonstration
as well at this particular time.

The fair association is to be
strongly commended for getting into
the advertising game early this year.
At a recent meeting of the board of
directors It was decided to staitthe
work, at once and not let It lag for
an instant until after the gates were
closed on the last day.
This means a greater success than
was scored last year if such a thing
is possible. It is understood the for
mer plan of converting the fair Into
a trades display as well as a com-
pteie- euuwuMi v . . C--C..T
will be fcllowed which will give local
manufacturing. Jobbing and retailing
concerns an opportunity to take part
The fair Is not confined wholly to
the Grande pra -zlley, for all parts
of Union and Wallowa counties are
invited to take part and everyjexhlbit
will be gladly received and properly
cared for. In the fair, this fall the
broad spirit, of pushing all parts of
these two counties will obtain and
the event will be advertised in such a
manner that all strangers who con
template a visit to this part of Oregon
will make it a point to cometwhile thei
fair Is in progress so that products;
can ne seen at a giance.. ,
The best way to observe what a
country produces is to attend a fair.
It takes T i short time t-J determine
then whether you are satisfied with
the sho",''rs made, after making due
allowances for the products not shown
as well as giving credit to those that
are exhibited.
Few organizations possess the en
thusiastic workers that the fair asso-
claiton has, and nothing but the word
success can soell the outcome of
their efforts for this season.
