THEIR r GREAT OBLIGATION.
With Eastern Oregon's educators ns
setnbhjd'ln La Grande 'for a few days
. for the purpose of enjoying themselves
and also for this 'purpose of hearing
v lectures by eminent men, the people
of this city "have an opportunity to ob
' serve the kindof people who teadh the
' young in thhV"state. , , : V,
t . It is decidedly pleasant to note the
quality of' intellect t6 be folftid "in the
rankand file of the teachers. Most of
them are possessed, of that broad Judg
. ztl", i4 lue or purpose and care
ful . deliberation which Insures not
oniy tbe "continuance and advance
' ment? pf the public, but also the bright
future for each individual." j
As" we looked 'over the assembly
' last .evenfng in the Elks ball it oc
curred to ua tbat the men and women
whotteach. the young have less asslBt-
ance In
thelr labor probably than'
an ohe?
class ot public workers.
The average
good citizen pays his
schfftl tax willingly but with' that he
dismisses from . his " mind ' the' educa
tion"! his child. He never , visits the
school building and talks with a teach-1
er on school, matters unless an acci
dent happens or "tie thinks' his child
has peon unjustly treated. This Is all
wrong, u is getting from under the
greatest moral esponslblllty we have
that of, educating and moulding the
minds of the young. This duty reaches
much'farther than a dollar and cents
proposition. In fact money Is no con
sideration. The teacher' who has heart
and soul In his work is not a money
getter. As a. rule, all he cares for is
a meal ticket, and' his life Is given to
the young, lie watches the child de
velop under his care with great pride.
He keeps his' hand oh the little fellow's
head, as it were, and guides him step
by 'step through school and through
life, endeavoring at all times to pre
pare that child in the best manner
possible to fight life's battles and add a
strong character- to the nation.' ; ,
Think of it, you business man en
gaged the year round in chasing the
dollars. Take the lesson home to thine
own ; heart and ask yourselves what
those teachers are worth to Oregon.
Not'iti. money, for no money value
should be mentioned in a ; question
wilVso high a moral standing, but
what are they worth to the home, the
state and the nation? . .. . ,
.The time may come, and we sincere
ly Tiope It Is not far distant when
there will be an awakening of public

CLAIMS OF USION.
The claims made by Union as to lo
cation of the new insane hospital are
In every way worthy. and if this quesr
tion is to be de'cla'ed'oa its merits, as
we have, reason to brieve . 'R, will" be.

Yesterday a delegation? from Unjon
visited La Grande to' coifer, with our
people regarding the campaign to be
made, and it was really a' remarkable
iiCLtjiIug wuere all oldtlme feeling
and prejiidlct was laid' aside and bur
ied and the idea of harmony prevailed
on every hand.'. One-character, pic
turesque from a , pjoner standpoint
and admirable from tb$ point .of hon
or and Integrity, was ,W. T. " Wright,
who came to this valley1 In 1865;' In a
speech he reviewed-thtf story of pro-,.
gress in the valleys toldvdf: the many i
little conflicts that 'ljad occurred,' as
sured all that these day s and feelings
had passed never to' return, and Insist
ed that this city - and Union : join ln
.close communion on, all propositions
that may beneflf elther .one or the
other. t'ry,fxf: ... ' -",';' Y".,-,
, The human Bide of Mr. Wright- was
made plain when with the most tender
feelings he mentioned some, of the old
pioneers of the .Grande' Ronde valley
who have passed to the Great Beyond.
In several instances the old gentle
man's voice 'trembled as his heart
poured out the earnest love he enter
tained for those hardy men who, with
himself, had come into this valley to
conquer nature and build homes:'
With such a man as W. T, Wright at
the head of a delegation It would seem
to us that the commttte who will de
cide location of the new hospital will
take notice of UnlonVclalms for rec
ognition. .. . ' ; ,,; '; ., v . , ' .:
THAT RATE CASE HEARI3JG.
Since the rate case hearing has been
transferred to Baker City and the state
commission announces November 26th
as the date, there is positively no rea
son why La Grande cannot be on the
ground with as many facts and figures
as any other city -to, show .why job
bing rates should and must prevail
here. -. . r .--- ' .

ancial support of every business ccn
cern in this city. With the proper
freight rates the warehouse district
of La Grande will double in size and
a great area of territory will be sup
plied by jobbers located here.'

Coprright 1910. by Aasoclated LR

' The Widow Splcer and Deacon Wil
liams attended the sume church and
bud known each other for a lung time.
The widow bad known the deacon's
wife In life and was with her when
Bhe died. ' 1 !
".The Widow Splcer was a church
member, but there were a few things
she shied at. For Inrtance. she didn't
believe the whale tiwullowed Jonah.
Strangely euough. Deacon Williams
had never lu-iird of the widow's dlsbe
lief. lt did unt (-dine to his ears until
h?- had' beeu a widower for three
years uud,,nutll a new minister took
the pulpit. When ne learned of It his j
surprise wiih great. He was also in- !

The deacon. called and talked" about
tht weather and the tater bues nntll
he bad oppottunity introduce Jo-J
nan. ue wanted, to so rlirht w. hw-
UIV,
Vyuig woc. but he remembered
minister's caution ' and artrued
the
gently. The widow didn't get fierce
over It, but declared that until she
saw the thing done with her own eyes
she shouldn't believe the whale story. r
i jueacon Williams left In apparent
good humor, but he didn't feel nil
right Just the Bame, . ,f ; ; . . ,
Perbnp we shouldn't be too "anx
ious about It.", said the minister when
he saw.thnt the mimer wan hetnir
taken very seriously. ' ' - ';. ' ;
The deacon .' had married - a woman
who firmly believed that the sun movd
around the earth.t-.lt had taken him
three years after marriage to bring her
to his way of thinking, but he had won
the victory; Why not marry the' Wid
ow Splcer and bring her to. believe the
whale story? That was the Btartlng
point From thence the deacon brought
himself to see that Mrs. Splcer had a
comfortable borne, was said to be a
fine housekeeper and was president of 1
the Ladles' Aid society and treasurer
of the Ladles' Heathen Benevolent as
sociation. Taken all around, it would
not be a bad thing. He could, have let
the minister Into the little plan,, but be
figured to wait and surprise blin. , t
( The.. Widow Splcer , thought pretty
well of Deacon- Williams, as ,all other
folks did. Perhaps her condition was
forlorn. . Perhaps she wanted i to be
cheered up. i Perhaps she fell In love.
No one can tell about these; things.
and It's no one's business anyhow. In
due 'time they were married, , When
the minister congratulated the deaccm
the latter Smiled knowingly and said:
: "Ask my wife a month hence wheth
er she believes the whale 'Swallowed
Jonah." . .' ."' f '" !.: :' '
1 "Ah. the influence of a husband! I
shall be very pleased." ' , ,
' But he' wasn't. .He called-one after
noen when the deacon was working In
his sawmill and introduced his subject,
and it was' hardly off bis tongue when
the ex-widow replied: ; . . : ,( ':; , :
"I have had three or four rows with
the deacon about it. but I'm doubting
more than ever. He says I've got to
believe, and 1 say 1 won't, and .there
you are."
From thence on,' as the neighbors got
to know and whispered about, that
was a sad house. There was never an
hour In the day that some reference
was not made to Jonah. . It would
have , been a, great relief bad they
changed off to'Danlel In the lions' den,
but they never did. It had become the
scandal of the church and the gossip
of the vtlllage.,.Vhen one day a tin "ped
dler came along' and heard all about it
Among ' other houses he called at to
exchange his wares for cash or paper
rags, was that of. Deacon Williams. All
his talk with the unbelieving wife was
not about, trade. He threw out a hint
or two as to what could be accomplish
ed by a determined woman. Then
he went down to the sawmill and got
up a talk with the deacon and during
the conversation managed to announce
the fact that when a widower married
a widow and there were, .no children
all her property at her death, went, to
her relatives. -The deacon hadn't con
sidered this faetand it gave htm a
start, k ' ,'. .., '
When he went home at noon he said
nothing about Jonah. The wife seem
ed to have been weeping.' His dignity
forbade his asking why. Even when
she kissejd him be couldn't sacrifice his
