OrEMSG THE A8ILUSI QUESTION The story from Salem tellng of the opening of the asylum question by Governor West Is of considerable importance. The legislature may not agree with the governor on this mat ter, but there Is a strong belief that Jt will. Throughout the state there 'eeems to be a relief that the Pendle ton location was not chosen wholly upon merit; that the matter was not what one could term a "daylight" - proposition entirely, and for this rea son there would be satisfaction Jf K . was reopened. ' ' ! The suggestion of the governor 'to let reputable physicians examine the lite and locate the institution j Is one that all will agree with, provid ed It is left with the physicians is fact as well at In word. a All Union county wants is a' fair contest In this asylum matter with merit as a basis. It Is tip to the leg islature to say the word. ,..V j ' " - ' r THE SHAKFEB ALWAYS AT WORK -t - , t ' The man who seemingly never Bleeps is the sharper.

Take for ex ample the arrests just made in Ar kansas of men who have been swind ling Pacific coast banks for the last year. Most people believe that banks have worked down their system of business so near to perfection that . it is next to Impossible to swindle them, but Just at such a time there comes along the smooth lad who Jeeps at day and prowls by night.

He springs a scheme entirely new a scheme that shows he has a fertile brain but a dangerous one, and sets the entire detective agency's mach inery at work. . Since the time of the foot racers who worked through the middle states it la doubtful if there has been ! a plan of swindling that shows the skill the present plan Just uncovered a to show. ! In the past It is doubtful if pun ishment has been severe enough for thoee who have been caught When Missouri was Infested with train-robbers a few years ago that state made train robbing a capital crime, and it would not be a bad idea for the same class of crime to apply to bank swindlers. It would have a tendency to check It, although even with such a stringent punishment there would still remain on of the sharpers oc casionally who would risk ,h!s life thinking he could work his scheme and get away. There will be plenty of amusement in La Grande tomorrow night. At the L. D. 8. tabernacle the second number , of the. lecture course wil. take place, at , the moving picture theatres good bills are announced, at the Orpheum there will be a stock company and at the Steward theatro, Surely, no one in La Grande cai truthfully say, "this is a slow town." W. T. Wright has, gone to Salem presumably to look after the merits of a banking bill to be introduced in the legislature. But it Is the general belief that Mr. WMght will not hesl- 'totA in ttinVa hnnilH with fJmnpronr West and congratulate, the executive upon the effort to Relocate the East ern Oregon Insane asylum. ' When Willis Moss closed a deal yesterday with a neighbor selling him two 2-year-old colts from the Grande Ronde for $500 he demonstrated once more the Talue of the Grande Ronde horse. . If you have not had a touch of la gripe you have been overlooked, so don't get chesty about the matter, for there is still a 'little time left. " Legal Notice.

Ben made no reply to this im putation on his courage. Jim went on. A three-year-old boy playing on the premises was all that appeared. A woman came out oT the bouse and was about to take the boy In when she espied Jim. Shading her eyes with het hand, she gazed on him for a mo ment, then ran to meet him. ' "Why. Moll, how did you glt here?" ' "Made the money sewln'." "And the kid?" "There bets." She pointed to the boy before the house, Jim sprang away from her and. running to the boy, took him up In his arms ' and covered blm with kisses.
