This city has reached a point in its career when volunteer fire service wil! hardly suffice, protection to proper ty, is so essential and the property covers such an area that old fashion ed methods of "everybody rushing to the fire"; will not prevail much long er. People who own valuable prop erty want to rest in the assurance of protection whether they hear the &ti bell or not They want to know that everything possible will be done to save property, during a conflagration, and to accomplish this the best of Are equipment is essential. Right along this line interest snow being taken by the city in the new au tomobile equipment which has become so popular in many of the larger cit ies. Its first cost Is about J6.000, iiut at that it would seem economical far r. Arcade THEATRE "The Spanish GypsyM..BIograph A strong love story with the scenes laid in the picturesque gipsy, camps.

Less men are necessary with the auto fire en gine than with the horse drawn ap paratus hence a saving in labor per manently. , Those of the local fire department who saw the equipment at work in Portland have th best of words for it and the people of La Grande should thoroughly Investigate It before add ing more expense to the present system. Governor Wilson is making his swing around the circle with the pos sible hope of framing a presidential campaign. Perhaps the governor will gather strength and perhaps not It would be remarkable for the demo cratic party to nominate a man for president who has been out of th i school room but one year, . and yet Governor Wilson has Borne very good timber In him. No one can question Elgin's credit or standing when it is considered that a $10,000 bond issue sold above par, The people residing there have every reason to rejoice over the condition of their city and it is gratifying to know that Elgin Is putting up a solid front for adancement and improve ment. " . : After all, tlie Second street pipe line may not prove such a bad investment for It is causing the people of La Grande to awaken to public matters. Lethargy in public affairs is the crime of the country today and La Grande had as bad an attack of it as any place known. Crop prospects were never better, according to men who till the soil in the Grande Ronde valley. This is certainly encouraging and causes the Grande Ronde securities to stand out in bold relief in the financial world.
