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.

A NEEDED 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.

of Eastern Oregon.
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.
