opportunity for display of his ability t

fore him for adjudication.
The highest tribunal In the land has

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.

not available as a source of water

small dimensions Is found adequate
for the purpose, as both Baiter and
Union counties are amply supplied
with Bub-surface water. -

ground, will kindly notify one of our

Portland for everything modern, even

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

Just as well, for the scientists say
anyone living in such a state of coma

Chief Justice Fuller has passed

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.

;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.
