The "non-partisan" attorney of the "non-partisan" Multnomah bar havr met, whereased, and resolved, and placed In nomination two republicans and one democrat fjd uroeg aonfww and one democrat for J'tdges, thereby giving the c loak of falsehood to their very claim lor action. These attor neys. Inconsistent as can be imagined hope to delude the voters. They ho; to make people believe they have se lected a bench without partisan in fluence. All of which they know to be buncombe and silly twaddle. But listen, why has an attorney any right to select his court. Why should he, who works under the court, be the man to choose hit master? Iu It not a matter of record that In almost every instance where a judge's salary is to be raised or where any favor is to be extended, the beRCfe attorney seldom object. ; A Ratnplt of this was visible last winter when the legislature added two more Justices to the supreme court of Oregon without constitutional au thority. It was also In evidence when alary bills were before the legisla ture. For these and other reasons it is not a good plan for attorneys to chooBe the courts, and we do not believe the people of the state will approve of the action of those who are proclaim ing for a "non-partisan" judiciary, when as a matter of fact the "non partisan" feature Is merely a ruse The whole state !s enjoying the row between the Oregonian and Brownell. And it Is fine to note that the Oregonian has reached a point where a spade is called a spade. There Is too much puppy love and polly-fox-ing in Oregon. People too often pre tend friendship when they feel the opposite. A few jolts such as the great newspaper is giving men of the Brownell stripe, will have a tendency to line things up and separate the sheep from the goats. Let's have more of It. Let's know where we are at, as Tom Watson would say. It is better to suffer honest defeat at the polls than to carry on this game of puppy love indefinitely. rweutii 1 1 DUKE OF CONNAUGHT.

With Secretary Loeb running for governor of New York and Theodore Roosevelt being sought for interviews each day regarding his political opin ions, it would seem that the former Roosevelt administration is still doing business. OREGON HAPPENINGS. Improvement is the watchword in the country surrounding BrownBvll-e, as well as in the town, says the Tlnrs (rants Pass Is doing much street and sidewalk improvement.

At this particular time no one will hesitate to admit that Irrigation would be of strong value to the Grande Ronde valley. There Is not n year that the water would not increase ton nage of crops raised, but thlH . BJ is a fair sample of what may be expect ed If the rainfall alone Is depended upon. To miss one rain means a heavy loss to the farmers, whereas If tho waters that go to waste In this valley were conserved at the proper time, and used on the land when need ed, there would be little need of watching the clouds and wishing that nature might send moisture. It Is a scientific principle that any one can figure out and one that means money not only to the land owner but to every person In business In the valley. Next Saturady there will be a meet- A Newport man hooked a big hali but, bu it broke the line and escaped. A 24x46 addition to the Stayton school house will be built at once. FISCAL TEAS Jl ST CLOSED. (Continued From Page One.) One of the biggest and most enjoy able celebrations was at Falls City. Farmers In eastern Oregon must or ganize to fight the wild mustard. A first class salmon cannery will be erected at Wheeler on the Nehalem. The First National Bank of Eugene has $1,500,000 deposits and a large re serve fund.

With this handsome financial showing do not overlook the building of the Hill road from Walla Walla to La Grande and then across the country to Ontario. Do not overlook the Byllesby survey for an electric line through this valley, also the survey for a line up Catherine creek into the Cornucopia tim: ber. When these lines will have been completed, the Irande Ronde valley will be transformed into a fruit belt of gigantic size. Bear in mind that this city is bound to become to Eastern Oregon what Spokane is to Eastern Washington, because it is now in the lead and is bound to stay there. The city administration is doing everything in its power to improve the city with many blocks of l;i ing, a complete sewer system and cement side walks. Property owners are awakening to the need t improvement and on everv hand old buildings, are being repaired and new ones erected. The county court is doing most effective work on the highways leading to the city and soon many roads union county will be surfaced with maca dam, and it will be done in a way that is lasting, for the road work done by this county court is standing every test. But La Grande, in the midst of the splendid record shown last year, needs homes. She needs many good substantial homes for the people who are tuning in every week. Rfiilroad boys regret when they arc transferred to this division because they -;umot get suitable houses for their families Last winter it was a matter of common knowledge that family after family came here and remained a few days, and then went either to Pendleton or Baker City to spend the winter because La Grande had no homes to offer. At present there are at least twenty families want places to live. There never was such an oppor tunity for builders as right here. Taking everything into consideration the year just closed shows a magnificent business era for this city. Tt shows that despite many conditions that could have been avoided the city has advanced with a strong, healthy stride. The city administration, fully realizing the need of more improvement, began a campaign that when completed, will not only re cord La Grande as the best business city in Eastern Oregon, but also the most beautiful and best im proved. And while the hot weather is on; while the ambi tion may seem to be dragging, let us ask each reader of this article to kindly take an invoice of conditions as the Observer has pointed them out. Then make a comparison with any other city of La Grande's size that you may know. We believe vour conclusion will be that this is the place for the man who wants to be doing something of importance in the world. State fif MkhMnfes , Tssch Children to Protect Property. !
