Such days have passed. It is now up to any community to produce evidence of dividends, if Eastern capital is to be Interested. The Grande Ronde val ley can do this and Mr. Mitchell is In a position to Interest the capital. His personal knowledge of the val ley Is encouraging for he realizes Vhat can be done here. Mr. Mitchell has had experience both here and Jit Baker City with electric light plants And will doubtleBs before long be pro moting a railroad from Walla Walla acroBB the Summerville pass to h?. Grande. This Is not given as autnen tlc, but there is good reason for be lieving that IntpntlnTipt are directed in fhat way, With a,n electric line, and that is what will be built, first, across the di vide La Grande will be the division and all the land In the valley around Summervllle will at once b cut up Into smaller tracts for fruit. The same will hold In other sections of the valley and the 'Increased valuation real estate will be marvelous. The Grande Ronde valley welcomes Mr. Mitchell In any undertaking lie may see fit to start "HOME INDUSTRY." Thedltor of the Walla Walla Un- ion sometime ago put a short squib In , "his columns which has been widely . copied by papers throughout the court- try. It Is short but It makes a point ' .

'Hurrah for home Industry." A man from Boston said yesterday as he waited for a train at the La Grande depot: "There Is something about this little city that impresses me with its stability. Unlike many western towns the boom feature is not here, and everyone seems to be doing business on a solid foundation." And with .the remark the man from the East told the Btory of a truth that should be emblazoned In all La Grande literature. In fact we are so Bolld that we are almost too conserva tive. We do not talk about the Inter ests here enough. ModeBty Is a fine thing when it does not act harmfully to business. But possibly It is better to be modest than to continually make assertions that could not be proven. Today Bob Wlthycombe is entertain ing hi farmer friends at the experi mental station in the valley and to say that all are being well-cared for would be needless repetition of a fact that Is already well understood. And V.n Va Vn. nmHnor Ct lm v.. 4 -- - w portance to tell each of them. He Is one state official who is working with bands, head and heart, and rejoices at obtaining results that are of value to the farmers. For excellence In preparing and serving a chicken pie dinner, the Ob server will place La Grande ladies against the world. Not only do they understand the culinary art but they are also thoroughly familiar with the importance of dainty Bervlng. Theso features were forcefully brought out at the Neighborhood club dinner Wed nesday afternoon. What has become of Colonel Hotel and his gubernatorial boom? Perhans the Colonel is confining it to the Wil lamette valley. That is a good ilace, for if it ever got up into the broad Eastern Oregon country, it migh get lost. ' Judge Lowell of Pendleton- Is said to be a candidate for governor. But the Judge has made no Bpeech an nouncing the fact, and therefore It is not authentic. Since Baker City has little water and the dust Is three Inches deep in the residence section, no one will deny that it Is a "dry" town. The forest fires in Southern Oregon threaten to reduce the town of Ash land to ashes. A Correction. La Grande. Ore.. Aug. 2" To tl .r Editor In Wednesday's .ibscrve.. !! an article under title of 'Motion for New Trial Denied." I notice several Inaccurate statements, and as there was no reporter of the paper present at that proceeding, which was In te matter of Amos E. Stanley vs O. R & N. R. R. Co.. growing out of inlur les received by the plaintiff I do not believe in attempting to try out law cases in the newspapers. W. L. BRENHOLTS, Asm'L Cash. EARL ZtNDEL, id A Ml fa-. h A a Mvance Ycu are cordially 1 and Winter wear tWNM MM for such business in infra dig., what ever the motive may be, yet I do not. like for misstatements of facts to pass unchallenged, especially when they relate to' litigation, still unset tled, and possibly may come before n Jury again, In the above proceeding there was no stipulation of any kind entered in to, neither was there any evidence, af fidavits or admissions to, explained to or attempted to explain to the Jury what defendant claimed iu the case. the Jury being merely ordered to view the premises, and the attorneys and court not being present. The question before the court, if it is Important to know, was a motion for a new trial based on affidavits or. the jurymen setting out the fact of the defendant taking them in hand, in the absence of the officers of the court, and explaining to them matters about the case they were trying, (which is strictly prohibited by law), and on the further ground of certain Instructions given the jury, the chief of which related to the court Instruct ing the Jury that a release obtained by defendant from plaintiff for $1.00 un intentionally settling all his claims for Injuries was binding, were erron eous. Whether the plaintiff shall get a new trial is for the Supreme court to say. I do not think It proper to dis cuss details of evidence, or express opinions in such matters to the injury of any one, for every man Is entitled to fair and impartial treatment before the law, be he a poor, disabled em ployee suffering with pain, or a rail road corporation. While equal facili ties for obtaining justice to poor and rich alike, in practice, are never realized, and are only phantoms of a dreamer, yet the right, at least should be respected and the law of humanity intend it should be respected and have nothing "done in a corner."
