Everyone admires paving and re joices to see It being laid, but do not forget that tor several years yet to come La Grande will bave more mile age of dirt streets than she can pos elbly have In paving. It is therefore very important that the dirt streets be looked after and improved. At pres ent tbey are In miserable condition end to all appearances bave had no systematic street work done lipon them for years. 1 Th& summer is the time to make such improvements as everyone knows, but summer is also a time when one does not notice the fearful condition of trie hUbways because condition of the highways because they are dry, - While the city council Is working hard to get the pavement and sidewalk In. the dirt roada need attention. Mon ey expended: upon them In a proper way will insure a freedom from those mudholes which the oldtlmers well re member for .the past fifteen yearg. THE FISHERMAN' EDITOR. Sloan P. Shutt. the flslurman editor from Joseph, was in La Grande . last night on his way to Portland where he and Mrs. Shutt will remain for several days. Editor Shutt is a character, the likes of which are scarce. Daily pa per life does not appeal to htm for he has grown past It. Life In a hustling city with Its din and hurrah are ob noxious because he says be wants to live longer than most men live. And he is right in this, for the hurry gets the bist of men. ' ' He is situated at the lake town with a good spicy weekly newspaper, happy In his eurroundln" and con tented in the fact that Joseph Is s-rowine which it is. Three days in ! the week are devoted to work and the other three to sport. Shutt Is recog nized as the most scientific angler in Wallowa county, except the mayor of Wallowa to whom every fisherman, in Eastern Oregon must bare his head. But Shutt has gotten far enough, along in this fisherman science to throw back ft fish that does not suit him, and they have to be pretty well rounded out to suit Of Irish decent, and close at that, he grinds out good reading to his people and keeps himself while on dut looking like a congressman. When the boys on the dailies are bro ken .in spirit and in body, when the large weeklies send their cuBtomary number to the printers' home Sloan P. Shutt will still be youthful all be cause of the fishing pole and the sup erb surroundings for It that Wallowa county offers. The singing of "Home, SweetsHome" to the tired Jury in a Texas murder trial seems to have opened a new avenue for attorneys. The song won find the woman who was' on trial for her life was acquitted. We have known attorneys to cry before a Jury and occasionally will blaspheme, but never yet have we heard a lawyer sing In court. Voice culture may have to be, added to the law' schools now to make them complete. The Oregonlan seems' to be boom ing Roosevelt ' for another term as president almost as bard as did Jona than try the same tame when Taft was nominated. OirRCH XCTICES . , St. Peter's Church.
