President Mitchell and his crowd
of fourteen stockholders, who passed
through La Grande yesterday In a spe
cial car to look after their holdings
in Portland fln other coast points,
fa no way backward in stating
'"that the Grande Rcjlde valley was on
their list of Important, points for de
velopment and that it wai WfJl toward

That does not mean that men from
the east contemplate dumping a lot of
money Into this valley on a guess.
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

may see fit to start

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

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.

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."
