This evening the. La Grande ,city
council will go into -session pot only
" lor the transaction of the regular
routine business, but Itwtll have be
fore It the consideration of ep ordi
nance dealing with regulation for the
liquor traffic The ordinance probab
ly will be drafted this evening or it
may be already drafted., either of
which is immaterial as the consider
ation of the different provisions th.it
may be contained In' the ordinance is
..-.. h. ...II.
When Union county voted for rua-,
uiatlon it was an honest and earnest
vote and we believe the city council
if in accord with the electors in -tfiis
change. At any rate, now. that the
change has come, we have confidence
In the present council to deal with
the important subject In a per
fectly Juat manner.
As we understand the rules under
which this council works the ordi
nance will be presented tonight and
read the first and second times and
then lay over until the next "regular
meeting before the third reading and
final passage. It will be the aim of
this paper to publish tomorrow the
ordinance to .-fall so -that ivery per
son can analyze what It contains.
,Tben if some Btrong'point presents, it.
. elf to a citizen wjiicb has been not
mentioned in that ordinance it is the
duty to bring the council's attention
tc It.
We have no guess as to what will
foe done' by the city officials in, that
ordinance, but there is a happy med
ium thatihould, and we believe will
obtain. Placing a license too high
only Incites the saloon men to step
near the brink In order to make more
money, while placing it too low would
mean cheapening a privilege which
today is on trial and which the com
munity cannot afford to have cheap
ened. Neither extreme should apply,
hut the ordinance that to adopted
should be one that is eminently fair
and reasonable, and at the same time
abundantly equipped with every nre
C4utkm to insure that which the peo
ple are demanding and striving for
-thorouogh regulation of a traffic
that muHt 'be regulated.
Jn this important matter we be
lieve every member of the council

i will gladly welcome suggestions from

tie splendid future that lies ahead of
us. We beaeve tnat every perssn
should be free Jn sis thought on th s
subject and not at all backward ir.
voicing nis opinions.
When the ordinance is printed to
morrow evening be sure nd read it
very carefully and give it the study
that it deserves.
One thing calls for another. Tb
paved streets now demand a cleaning
device. And that is the way of. the
world. The onward march advance
ment never falls to draw upon the
entire people. Those who ridein the
band wagon must pay the price. But
La Grande is ready to pay any reas
onable prie for the position she now
occupies the metropolis of the great
Eastern Oregon country.

(Coa'.injed from Fg 1J
The Forest Service filed charges
against the entry of Louis Schmidt Jr.,
a struggling fanner of Halfway. Ore
gon, and the local .office held that the
fftu WAR nffmiH ; t?t J; CC'
faith of the entryman was manifest
in all of his movements and acts. A
commutation proof nt before the lo
cal officers wavs rejected and the
Homesteader allowed to make another
proof. If be bad lost this case his
entry would have been cancelled.
Henry C. Biamont. of Pendleton,
Oegon. bad charges filed by the gov
ernment against his homestead entry,
to the effect that he had not resided
on the land 34 months preceding a
commutation proof, and that he took
his said entry for speculation. He
showed that' hit improvements were
worth about 1500.00, had 6 head of
horses and 2 mules, and that he had
plowed over JL2o acres,, raised grain
therion two seasons, cutting and sell
ing the same for hia support, ile
won out here and this was also ait-,
firmed. '.,
James J. Johnson, of J5umpter, Ore
gon, filed ,a timber and stone entry,
for lands near that town, and after
procuring his certificate, sold the
land to A. J. Denny. The government
then claimed the land to be known
mineral land, and so charged neces
sitating in Denny defending the case
or losing his land and money. This
case, too, went the way of the others
mentioned above, at the local office
and the mineral experts in the General
land office all agreed that the local
findings were eminently proper.
The only remarkable feature qbout
these cases is that out of five straight
decisions against the government by
Rceiver Eberhard, the evidence was
such that the Commissioner felt en
tirely justified in affirming every one
of them. Land office lawyers as a
general proposition feel that the de
fendant must have a strong case
from the record as a whole to get a
iljliliui n UJJlUil 11 I
decision favorable to the entryman
past the commissioner, waere tae gov -rnment
special agents are back o"
the charges '. This record therefo-?
goes to strengthen the good record in
this claa of work held by the loci!
land officers, as mentioned some )
weeks ago in thia paper.
