Do not make the mistake of getting something that is worse than the old form, but be sure there ia to' be an Improvement before the step is taken. - Whether the commonly called com mission form ia practical for ; La Grande is a question unsolved. Baker City is now under coromlrjn forrt of government, but the dissatisfaction is Intense. There are other forms if government, however, that might fit this locality and it will be the duty of tbe committee named to sift all of the merits of each form now in use throughout the country with a view to obtaining the best and' most economi cal, i But one fact remains permanent and unyielding La Grande is dissatisfied with the old form; the people are bound to have a change and the sane thing to do is to go alowly and surely, Let everyone give the matter thought and study. The columns of the Ob server are open to everyone who wishes to make himself heard. SOMETHING WILL BE DOXE. AN INTERVIEW THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

Present methods of municipal gov ment are very unsatisfactory. So much so that In La Grande today there la question with the taxpaylng public wide dissatisfaction and the great is, "What can be done?" All over the country there is a dis position to get away from the ancient form of a mayor and council and ; piany cities no larger than La Grande are successfully breaking. But it should be understood that the ! SI! Arcade THEATRE "Italian Coast Scenes" (GasN mont) Like all of this com pany's out- door pictures this leaves nothing to be desired.

It is import ant from the fact that it emanates from the bead, of the large railroad system that permeates the entire west and instead of it being a wall of de pression it is decidedly the reverse. Here 1b what the Tribune contained: Julius Kruttschnltt, director of maintenance and operatlpn of the Harrlman system, "the man who spends the money," arrived in this city late last night, in his private car Guaduloupe, from an inspection trip oyer the lUies of the I'tali Light & Railway company, one of the Ha'rri j man holdings; conference with the ! P iVint nlili.n In' anil tTlnDA -. t the Oregon Short Line. Later he will leave for Ogden, where' he will spend two or three hours and then proceed cast. Wh-n asked In his private car this morning if the Harrlman line from Omaha to San Francisco would be double tracked in tnie for the open ing of the Panama-Pacific exposition, Mr. Kruttschnltt said: "It Is our Intention to push the work with all possible spend end we expect to have it all completed before the ex position opens. "Work is already under way for the completion of tbe double tracking be tween this city and Ogden, and this will bo pushed as rapidly as possible. Work will commence within a few days on the double tracking of a part of the Southern Pacific we3t of Ogden, and work Is already under way on u number of extensions in Idaho. "I expect to make an Inspection of the local street car system today, as well an to pay a visit to the car barns and the shops. That the people, of this cRy approve of the many im provements that have been made In the system In the last few years is ev ident by their constantly Increasing patronage. Tills shows that no mis take was made when millions were spent in improving the system, and thin work of improvement will con tinue Just as fast- as tie public needs It." . ' Speaking of the crop conditions he said: - "They are excellent in every section that I have visited. True, there has 1 been' some little loss from frost In California and other places, but they are not nearly as bad as was first re ported. The farmers feel jubilant ov er the outlook for bumper crops, and I believe that this year will be one of the greatest in the history of the west. "I find on every hand a feeling of optimism in the west. The people have faith' in their section of the'eoun- try and are showing , their faith by thir work. ' 13 As far as the'sectlons of the country which are touched by our lines are concerned, I feel confident that we will have the best year in the history of railroading In the west. There Is a constant Increasing of acreage, and :o meet this we must build more lines of railroads, put in more spurs, more double track and add extra equipment. This will be done as fast as possible." THIS DATE IS HISTORY. June 6. 1753 Nathan Hale, American revolu tionary hero, born in Coventry, Conn.

It would not tie the part of wisdom to lose sljrht of the fact that both the Tnltcd stntex and Japan must continue to grow In national strength mid to pxpand In enterprise - hikI Hint mean- . while, owing to niin-oiu i-oui-Qiunicotloim. the world Is becom-' lu smaller . An j a result tbe two nut ions must Inevitably be thrown lu futnrt Into closer eon tact and ofteu And themselves; competing side by skle In the markets of the world It is un wise for u nation not to recog nize that chungtng ' conditions may onl! for difference in form and ninnner of expression with out change In principle or spirit, that the frleiialil of the child Is not tbe friendship of the man and that the keenest competitors In business may yet be the firm est friends. Surely there la am ple room on tbe broad Pacific and abuudant opportunities in the regions that border Its shores for the peaceful enterprise of all the nations for all time to come. Secretary Knox , CIVILIZATION. Is a city civilized to' which there is more tbnn an Egyptian worship of Anubls. pampering dogs with silly infatuation, while utterly Indifferent , to the help lessness aud sufferings of tens of thousands of children? I con not call New York a civilized city, with Its rage of avarice and worship' of Mammon. Its God de fying extravagance, oppression ' and extortion. Its deceit and fraud, which the law cannot re strain. ' deny that those who live and spend for themselves alone soulless men and thought less, selfish women ore worthy of either tbe name civilized or Christian. Rev. Madison C.
