La Grande was nonored this week by a meeting of the pioneers. It is always pleasant to see the country builders and trail blazers. There Is something about their manner that is individual and different ' They know what it is to do without sugar In their coffee, and most of them have seen times when ' a tailormade suit They are men, brave and strong, because they have undergone priva tions In early days. Many of them now ride In automobiles and have the best the land affordB, but are they not entitled to every luxury? They aurely are. , During the pioneer meeting most of the visitors has some reminiscence to relate that was not only Interest ing but Instructive as well. They re pealled the days of years ago before people paid so much attention to clanlshness, before the social sets were cast and before little questions were magnified Into troubles that caused. neighbor to be pitted against neighbor. . - When they settle Oregon it was as one large family.. Unless a man was a criminal having committed some . unpardonable crime he was not an outcast. And if he committed a ser ious crime in . most cases his neigh bors gave him justice In short order, j , In those days . collection y agencies were not necessary. People paid I ( their debts when It was possible for them to do so, and dealt honorably with their fellow creatures. Grandma Jackson in relating her early experience, said she crossed the plains with an ox team Just after she was married. Instead of having cut glass and fine silverware she had tin pie plates and tin npoons. And she said many were the nights she sat en the ox yoke as herself and hus band ate their evening. meal. . The ; world was before" them. Ev erything wa expectancy and pursuit rather than possesion. They were coming west to cam their futures and they succeeded very well, Just as all people who come west, with the Intention of working have succeed. Tes, there was mere happiness in the pioneer days than at present be cause there was more contentmeat "When people travel a great deal and see different localities they beootne dissatisfied. In those days it was not bo easy to travel and everyone was more contented to remain where they chose to call home. But the meetln cf the pioneers "was a good thing for the participants and a good thing for La Grande. We hope that each year they may meet In this city and that kind providence will be slow In thinning their ranks. SnOWS EFFICCST WORK The Jury'a verdict In the escheat case shows that the most careful and earnest work baa been done by F. S. Ivanhce, prosccutln" attorney for this district, In protecting the state's In terests. This Is a case of more than ordinary interest and involves about $25,000 worth of real estate. Its his tory is so well known that repeating la not necessary. Thft case was tried and carried to the eupremen court where It was out lined along somewhat different lines and lent back to this district for re trial. The second trial has Just been finished and a Jury has been convinc ed that the claims made by the state through the prosecuting attorney, were Just and valid thereby establish lng the verdict Doubtless it will again go .to the supreme court for such Is to be expected In so Impor tant a matter.

No city con prosper without a commercial club that Is active. La Grande has enjoyed the distinction of having a good com mercial club for a long time and will continue in the same way for a revi val always helps and organization. Senator Lorlmer is up against a hard proposition. There was a time when a senator could buy his way into the United States senate and lit tle was Bald of the matter. But that time has pasBed, we hope, forever, and the senator from Illinois stands accused before the world and unable to make a defense. One would naturally think that the United States senate had become suf ficiently civilized to i away with twenty-four hour speeches such as Senator Burton is now lelivering. Still. Senator La Follette ilid a little of that himself at f.ie last session.
