At the recent land show in Chicago, which was conducted by the Tribune of that city, the Grande Ronde valley was not represented and It was great mistake to let such a splendid opportunity pass without placing some of the products of this great section before the public. Every other district in Oregon that is bidding for emlgra .; tlon wag there. Medford had two men And a large exhibit. Hood River had the same and even Ashland came to the front as did Grant's Pass and Pen dleton. But the Grande Ronde, which was raising good fruit' long before theae . other sections thought nhon "?r it, - was not to be found on the ground and would have been "skunked" com pletely had not the two Stackland boys of Cove paid their own expenses and made the trip to Chicago to blow a trumpet or two and call attention to Cove, which happens to be in this : valley. ;. Shall this lethargy continue? Shall we fold our tents and slyly steal away from the scene of action, or shall we , buckle our belts one hole tighter and get in the midst of the fray? Yes, the people can be attracted Here. There is no use saying thev can . not, for.that does not hold good. The great east and wpnt i DnrinnDio ln$ for every breath of description re lating to Oregon as a whole. Then why not take advantage of this remarkable condition and plant a few seeds in the fertile, minds for the Grande Ronde valley? vThojwlll be the first to come for ward? Everyone la welcome to enter these columns with suggestions, no matter what they may be, but for the love of goodness do not remain silent. Say something. newspapers contained much which oc casionally might be termed sensa tional this eminent educator insisted that no man could be a well balanced citizen unless he read the dally hap penings, which la only procurable through the newspapers. He does not believe that a man couH be a good juryman who did not take enough in terest in affairs to read the papers, and In this the professor's opinion Is largely shared by the public. The dullest person on earth Is one who cannot converse on matters of national and' international import ance. Only a day or so ago a man came to the,surface in Portland who thought Koosevelt was still president. It Is strange but true that such characters can exist. Give Quick Action. A. T. Hill, druggist, reports that A SINGLIe DOSE of simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as compounded in Adler-i-ka, the new German Appen dicitis remedy, relieves 'any stomach or bowel trouble. Many La Grande people are being helped. A FITTING TRIBUTE." Some of the most difficult cases are being handled at this term of the Union county circuit court, and in this connection it 1b but just to remark that Judge Knowles is making good as the presiding official. In addition to expediting business. Judge Knowles is prompt and clear In his rulings and has made friends with both bar and public Union Republican. "Wonder if Senator Bourne's friends 8tarted the story about a one hundred thousand dollar Jockpot being made up, by bis enemies to defeat him. It would be an old time jwlltical maneu ver for Bourne's frln- Lu tale, as it means much water on his wheel.- .... .. - .,, Vacation Next Week. Next week will be "vacation days" at the schools.
