AQE COUNTS FOR MUCH. t ; . " i The defeat sustained by Jeffries yesterday at the hands of Johnson, the colored prize fighter, indicates Btrongly that youth counts for much In the prize ring. While there is but three years difference in the two fighters, Johnson has the best of the matter, and his superior physical strength asserted itself over the old time ring fighter. ' Jeffries really made a poor show ing. To stay but fifteen rounds Is not an indication of physical equality or i anywhere near It. But the primrose that Jeffries has trod since he wns at his best may have hud something to do with yesterday's result, although the difference In years is by far the most Important consideration. In prizefighting it seems that the man that is the "has been" is almost sure of defeat. He counts for Just as much there as he does In the game of politics, and In politics It is a mat ter of record that a "has been" can not get back on his feet after he once loses his hold. j Today the negro Is champion. He is j entitled to the title for Jeffries no doubt, did his best. Many regret that the belt be swung around a black , body, and there will be a hope In the hearts of many who like the sport that some white man will soon come to the front an dregaln the champion-ehlp. TOO SLOW, TOO SLOW! This morning a man asked the Ob server, "Will you publish a report of the fight by rounds.'"He did not know that most of La Grande and Union and Wallowa counties waited breath lessly yesterday afternoon while the Observer's telegraphic service was re ceived. He did not know that seventeen seconds after the knockout ivna made that the neowe or i-a A paid fire department Is not an ex pensive luxury, a8 some are pleased to term it, but it Is a vital necessity. The reduction in insurance rates, the safety it gives to property and the standing that it gives a city, doubly pay for the malntalnance. By all means let not the time be far distant when La Grande will have a fire department composed of a com bination engine and hose heel, a team of good horses, and three men whose duty It Is.to Btay at fire headquarters md be ready for a call at any time. where ditches or natural, streams are not available as a source of water supply, that a well of comparatively small dimensions Is found adequate for the purpose, as both Baiter and Union counties are amply supplied with Bub-surface water. - If all persons owning high or dry ground, will kindly notify one of our main offices, we will cheerfully fur nish the services of one of our engin-" mates on the cost of electrical oper ations for the purpose of getting the data essential to making the esti mates on the cost of electrically op erated pumping equipment.

Somehow we think an Individual of this kind Is more to be pitied thnn blamed. He Is not in the game of life at all merely following along at the end of the procession. He does not know there is a creat big active world In which something is happen ing every second. But perhaps it is Just as well, for the scientists say anyone living in such a state of coma may exist for several hundred years . without realizing it. or without the world realizing it. Would not the old song be applicable In this case:. "Tlense go 'way and let me sleep," etc. ANSWERING TIIE FINAL SUM. MONS. PASSED THE, VOLUNTEER STAGE. Chief Justice Fuller has passed awiT. Another of the big men of the United State! has departed this life, another member of the supreme court has answered the last summons. It has not been long since Chief Jus tice Brewer wat called to his long home and th country mourned his ' JOBS. S Thus two of the ablest Jurists h world have ceased with x La Grande has passed that period of her existence when a volunteer fire department will suffice. The unfortunate fire of Sunday demonstrated that beyond a doubt for had there been a paid fire department here, a great portion of the loss would have been averted. The volunteer department is a good thing to maintain In connection with a paid regular department, but the latter should be maintained at any cost. Anyone who stands in the way of a ftrtment for La Grande he way of the city's prog- e so classed. "s4jeso ;ose of getting tne necessary sur veys and to furnish estimates as to tre cost of irrigating such ground by oleoti.c ally operated pumps. It has been our observation, that lundieds of land owners within tie lunit ol our high tension transmission k'. te-t are in, possesson of valuable racts of ground, without fully real izing how easy and Inexpensively the same may be irrigated by pumping electrically from rivers, ditches, walls tc: and it is our intention where- ever possible to form such into groups In order their land may be rtuched with the extensions to our electric lines at the minimum of ex- prnxe to each. Hydro-electro Irrigation has been the main factor of development dur ing the past several years in. many wepfern communities. During this Eeason, we have demonstrated Its practicability within our own terri tory, by the installation and success ful operation . 6t several ' pumping equipments at Baker City. North Powder, and LaQrande; and the re sults, as viewed by the pratlcal irriga tors in these communities has been most gratifying, indeed. Since the advent of this compara tively new method of irrigation many iand owners have awakened to find what had heretofore been considered an almost valueless tract of land Is their most valuable possession, as a nominal sum paid per acre for elec tee power, will now place their landi vner water.
