This was a notable- year ! for such extravagance and unfortu nately the legislature had a white wash brush out for every official charged with poor business methods. It was whitewash from start to finish and the legislature as' a whole was a nest of rabbits afraid to take a stand and draw officials up with a Jerk. Therefore, the eyes of the taxpay ing public are now on Governor West in the hope that he may ue his veto powers on Increased , expenses in such a way that a great deal of the last session's work will be undone.

One of the drawlji ks to obtaining new sutler's Is hig ;. taxation. The first thing asked b) a man who contem plates, investment in a strange etate is regarding tax Jevy, and with conditions in Oregon as they are to day it is a safeuess that many good prospective ;.:iti'!ens will pass the etate by becaua( of taxation.

This line of i work Is always commendable end La Grande rejoices to know that Bak er keeps pegging away. But we are al so mindful of the fact that La Grande is gradually passing Baker on the commercial highway and this year promises to settle the question for all time to come as to which city is to be the Spokane of Eastern Oregon.

Put minin? mon ey into La Grande alon? with what she has and she will be the best town of her slz; in the whole nation -none excepted. Senator Pierece recently returned from a business trip to California. When asked how he liked the country, he said: "Oh. that stat; is one great big playground. I like to play a little bit and while I play I should like to be there. But as a steady diet give me the Northwest where we have a snowstorm occasionally and a little wind to break the monotony." This was very well said for the most energetic man on earth would become a drone In a place where flowers bloom con tinually and the scent of orangi; blos soms was ever oresent. Portland is talking, of spring while La Grande has several inches of snow and indications of more to come. That is not very strange when you consjder the fact that over on the Grande Bonde riv r there is a section .here spring remains the whole year round and settlers grow tobacco and cotton at will. Great is this Oregon state, and the most fastidious can find the climate of his choice. It Is but natural for the railroads to curtail expenses. That was evident when the Interstate Commerce Com mission decided against th? transpor tation lines. But perhaps this will op:n the great railroad question for re-nijustment. and while the time of re-adjusting may bring some calamity things may be much better afterward both for th? companies and for the people.

But Mark Twain Missed It by Just One Pail of Watr. j With Steve Gillis, a printer of whom he was fond, Mark Twain went up Into Calaveras county to a cabin on) Jackass bill, where Steve's brother I Jim. a lovable. DicturefinilA chancier 1 (the -Truthful James",of Bret Harfe), owned mining claims. Mark decided to spend his vacation in pocket min ing and soon added that science to his store of knowledge. It was a halcyon, happy three months that he lingered there. One day with Jim Gillis be was following the specks of gold that led to a pocket somewhere up the hill when a chill, dreary rain set in, . Jim 1 was washing and Clemens was. carry-; lng water. The "color" became better' tA V. n - - - . . lis, possessed with the mining passion, would have gone on regardless of the rain. Clemens, however, protested and declared that each pair of water was his last. Finally he said In his dellb-' erate, drawling fashion: "Jim, I won't carry any more water. This work is too disagreeable. Let's ; go to the house and wait till it clears up," . . Gillis hnd Just taken out a pan of earth. "Bring one more pail, Sam," he plead ed. "I won't do it, Jim! Not a drop! Not If I knew there was a million dollars In that pan!" . - They left the pan standing there and went over to Angel's camp, which was nearer than their own cabin. The rain kept on, and they sat around the grocery and barroom smoking and tell ing stories to pass the time. . Meanwhile the rain had; washed away the top of the pan of earth, left standing on the slope of Jackass hill and exposed a handful of nhggets pure gold. Two strangers hadvcome Jong and, observing It, bad sat down to watt until the thirty day claim notice posted by Jim Gillis should ex pire. They did not mind the ralnnot with that gold in slght-and the min ute the thirty days were up they fol lowed the lead a few pans farther and took oat $20,000 in all. It was a good pocket Mark Twain missed It by one pall of water. Chicago Post. ' The Brand of Quality Dain Watch for them in Our Windows. INSURANCE MAPS.

To counteract this tendency the outer rail of a curve is raised on a higher level than the inside, the elevation being In an exact proportion to the sharp ness of the curve as determined by the I principles of engineering. If .. both rails of a curved track were of exactly I the same elevation a train would not dare round it at high speed. PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY. PHYSICIANS AND -SURGEONS. N. iMOLITOR. M.
