SOT hO BAD AS REPRESENTED
It Is human nature to look on the
dark side of things, says a Walla Wal
la paper. The calamity-howler would
hare us believe that sections of the
middle west face the greatest catas
trophe to their wheat that they, have
experienced In 25 years, and many peo
pe In our own region have been per
efstently bemoaning the fact that there
was , to be a shortage of wheat this
: year. ' The unfortunate thing is that
there are always, many to believe the
worst, but the. Good Book has promis
ed us that there always will be seed
time and harvest, and since it has nev-
, er yet failed, we are encouraged to
believe that the promise is true.
The'market editor of a Portland pa
per has Just visited Walla Walla on
his annual trip of inspection tand he
reports the outlook good. Of course
it will not equal last year's bumper
crop, but he states that winter wheat
will run from 35 to GO bushels and
spring wheat from 20 to 30 bushels.
. The grain Inspector of this state de
clares that "the Indications are for a
crop of 80 per cent of last year's bum
v. per yield and that this wheat, with
, the wheat held over, will bring tno
, total available next winter, nearly to
the usual figure." President Ripley
of the Santa Fe railroad states that
"the crops In all territory Bouth of
South Dakota are In good condition."
I ' At this season of the year the public '
should have some place to congregate '
at least once a week and let the peo
ple enjoy themselves. Nothing 6erves
as a means of summer entertainment
better than a band concert and jjhat
should be held right in the business
section of the city. (
By raising a purse it is possible to
have two band concerts a week and
la Grande people could do nothing
better than start this enterprise even
though It is growing late in the sea
Bon. A movable band stand is best
adapted to this purpose and then each
block of business houses can share
the benefit of a crowd of from two to
four thousand people twice a week
during the Bummer season. i;
It is a good thing for the commercial
club to take and push and If Bucess
fnl th nralsA for hrlnetne- - about
these events will be heard on every
side. '
When there Is no place for the
pubic to meet there Is little chance
of getting people enthused over their
city and ' surrounding rountry, bin
with 'a good meeting flace twice a
week the difference will be quite not
iceable. -
Breton and Welsh.
Armorican. the old language of Brit-,
tany. the ancient Cornish and Welsh
and, for that matter. Erse and Gaelic
are all closely allied languages, mem
bers of the Celtic group. Breton and
Welsh are very much alike.
Th Art of Dyaing.
Dyeing was practiced in Egypt as
far back as 3000 B. C. and it may be
assumed that it was practiced in still
more remote times among tbe Indians,
the Persians and probably the Chinese.

Wallowa county, that had not a rail
