DEATH FINALLY CLAWED HIM.
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. The com
pany Would readily "rant either of
these services or the summer time,
coupled with, an every-other-day
freight service, provided the people
of this valley can aree on which is
best - ..".".' -.

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.

The Easter lily was as great a fa
vorite In the Levant a thousand years
ago as it is in America today. It flour
ishes in heathen countries as luxuri
antly as in Christian ones and Is just
as familiar In Cochin China, the is
land of Formosa. Inda and Japan as
in our near neighbors, the Bermudas,
o
It la the Bermudas that the Eas
ter lily attains its greatest glory and
beauty. So vast are the fields and so
many the flowers that land breeze
will carry the fragrance for miles out
to sea, whispering or wife and home
to the returning sailors. More than
200 farms are devoted to lily groVng,
and sometimes as many as 10,000 flow
rs bloom in a single field. The lily
export trade exceeds $40,000 per an
num In flowers and amounts to about
$12,000 a year in bulbs.
