Dispatches from Eedlands, Califor- 4 l loot AWnlMM nhwnm, )aM the death of Frank Benson, secretary of state and former governor of Ore gon. It was not unexpected but nev ertheless the state deeply mourns the loss of this man. V He was one- of the few men in politics in Oregon who was able through a long career to keep the confidence' of the people and be re-tv-ned to office repeatedly. There-, was a personal . feeling , throughout this commonwealth for Frank BenBon. No one ever thought of addressing him as "Honorable" Frank Benson, but it- was always plain "Frank." His carper was clean and honorable and his administration in -Tubllc 62alrs has always,.been fair and ice will prpve disastrous to the live- In Eastern Oregon Frank Benson was very popular and during his long illness the people of this section of the the state have felt a keen and friend ly Interest in his welfare. The death of this man makes Eastern Oregon re alize she has lost a friend at court and In the councils of the state. That the McCully-Rumble Powler company chose a site for its power production to feed the Grande Ronde valley' with electricity, that is highly satisfactory from an engineering view Is attested to by A. H. Rudd, a civil engineer who Bays in the Enterprise News-Record that James .Thompson, the Portland hydraulic engineer who was called to Rondowa to look over the proposed site, pronounces it en tirely feasible and estimates the pow er available there will develop fully 1,000 horsepower. Work will be com menced on the blr plant as soon as materials can be assembled and the actual work of constructing the dam will ba begun about August 1. It will take one year to complete the plant. It Is the object of the company to develop electricity for power , and lighting purposes and to supply the towns and farming districts of both this valley and the Grande Ronde val ley. The power fH.n will be carried to Elgin in an almost direct line gros sing the, most thickly settled portion of the Cricket Flat farming district and will be extended from there to Im bier at once. In this valley the pow er line will follow the river practical ly all the way and supply the towns and farming communities. IMPROVED BRAXCII SERVICE. ; (Wallowa Sun.) , ; Just as soon as Wallowa county can agree on what it wants, the O.-W, will give that community a better pas senger service. The growing traffic warrants it too, but Passenger Agent this week ;r ports that severalof the local interests of this county favor a daily passenger service leaving La Grande in the morning and returning in time to connect with the evening trains east and west Another con siderable number of people advocate a train leaving Joseph in the morning and returning the same day.

OLIVER SHOULD BE NAMED. 1 The death of Frank Benson has caused the office of secretary of state to be, vacated.- Governor West must i name some one to fill this office, and I according to all precedent Turner Oli ver of La Grande Is entitled to the rec ognition. It will be remembered that Mr. Oliver made the race for secretary of state on the democratic ticket last fall and was one of Governor Wests' strongest supporters, which should give him preference for the office of secretary of state now that a vacancy has occurred. White the Observer has criticised Mr. Oliver's senatorial career, and be lieves it had a right to do so; and while the present appointment is en tirely within the democratic camp, yet evren with all of this there should be a spirit of fairness mark the action of the executive. If the governor fails to appoint Mr. Oliver it will be anaf front and a slight that friends of the La Grande man in the democratic par ty may not overlook. ' So long as this office must, In the very nature of events and proceed ings, go to a democrat. It would be eminently right and proper for the man who has spent his time and mon ey working for the ticket and the party to have the distinction of being named.
