THOSE PIOJiEERS
-. 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. Regardless of that
feature It must be admitted that the
case has been handled In a most able

There is. being planned a revivul
for the local commercial club to take
place In the near future and a mem
bership campaign will follow which
will rival anything of the kind ever
attempted In Oregon.-. 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.

Nehalem Enterprise We saw quite
an Interesting spectacle last Tuesday,
when a spirited horse was drawing
a delapitated buggy with only three
wheels. The horse seemed uncon
cerned about the matter, but the own
er had a melancholy expression pn
his countenance which was the re
sult of the thought In his mind that
the village blacksmith had a cinch on
his purse. ,v
