OUR ROAD REPRESENTATIVE.
"When Governor West 'appointed Dr.
M. K. Hall as a member nf th tt.
highway board he made no mis'.ake.
Few men have more Interest. In good
roaus man physicians, and In Dr.
nana case it happens that 1m rules
about this county often and knows
something of the practical end of mak
ing roads. His 'association with the
Motor club also brings In the opin
ions of every member of that organl
eatlon which assist him to arrive at
conclusions usually correct In his rec
ommendations. . '
The highway commission can be a
very useful Instrument. There is al
ways room for work on the roads, but
the important point is to get practical
work. With this idea in mind Gover
nor WeBt has selected such men as Dr.
Hall from Vnlon and; Jay H. Dobbin
from Wallowa counties, . ?
It always seemed to us that the
Portland good roads men who came
into Eastern Oregon were out of. their
latitudes that they were talking about
building roads In a country they knew
little' of. "We do not believe anv Eas
tern Oregon man would assume, to go
to the Willamette vallev where the
rain is heavy and suggest how the peo
ple there should construct highways.
And that ia why the present movement
looks sensible tous get home men In
terested In pushing this affair and we
will soon bogln to see results.
One of the things that la of Intense
Interest Jo Union county is the auto
mobile tax. If the tax collected for
running machines could be used on
our own highways it would be gladly
paid by machine owners without a
complaint along with a great oal
more each year, but when the fund Is
used to pay an army or cieras ana em
nlnves about Salem, auto owners here
pay the tax with some regret We
know of no better1 man to dwell on
. this particular phase of the matter be-
I ; Now that La Grande is reaching out
I in all directions with her residence
i district, claiming lands that heretofore
I had b?en vacant and where many peo
pie thought there never would be oc
cupancy, it occurs to us that the popu
lar move will be to the foothills. ThoBe
settling the town in its early history
did as everyone el so would have done
stayed closely to the railroad track
and the business district for men do
not like to walk very far.
It Is different now, however, and the
time has arrived when It Is" a question
of valued lands upon which to build.
Some contend the thing to do Is to
stick to the lower ground, but thre s
quite a sentiment In favor of the foot
hills for residence districts. 4 One of
the best illustrations of conversion to
the higher land Is Dave Steward. He
had lived on Adams avenue for a long
and and was more or less prejudiced
In favor of a close In residence, but
this summer he went to the foothills
where he owned some property. He
fixed up his home comfortable and af
ter a few we-Bks' trial neither himself
nor family would under any consldera
tlon give up tha high ground. There
are many things in 1U favor, which
can only hi appreciated by trying the
experiment.
Thene will be more try it each yoar
and La Grande's future residence dis
trict' Is going to- be in the foothill
country. .- x'.
always trying to avoid friction, to keep
peaoe and harmony in the firm. He
encourages the dull boy or the boy
who can not seem to get hold of the
business; he is always ready to give a
lift whenever needed, gives a word o
cheer to the discouraged. -The excep
tional young man is the one who is
always on the alert for business, who
is so polite and attentive and obliging
to his customers that everybody wants
to deal with him; who mak?s friends
for the firm, who adds to the dignity
of the house. Orison Swett Marden

PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS.
A man from, acroBS the valley writes
"I was on the road when WalBh made
his flight Monday night. It was" the
finest thing I ever saw and I nclose
you a dollar to assist in paying the ex
pense." This is certainly the right
spirit to have. . ; .
THE EXCEPTIONAL EMPLOYE.
Mr. Carnegie aaya: -The most val
uable acquisition to his business which
an employer can obtain is an excep
tional young man. There Is no bar
gain so fruitful.".
, By the exceptional young man, Mr.
Carnegie means the one who la al
ways looking out for his employer's
Interests, the young man who keeps
his eyes open, who la alwaya trying to
make suggestions for improvements
In the bulness, who la alwaya study
ing for some better, simpler, more ef
ficient way of doing things. .
The exceptional boy or young man(
is the one whose main ambition U to
help along the business, to further hlB
employer's Interests in overy possible
way; the one who stays after hours
during the busy Beason to help out
wherever he can. The exceptional
young man Is one who when any emer
gency arises In the concern, has a
valuable suggestion for Its solution.
The exceptional young man is the one
who settles difficulties among the oth
er employes without rupture, who Is
SUPPWESS THE "GCN-TOTER."
There has been vigorous and long
drawn out agitation in the state of New
York over the sublet of "gun-toting."
So much crime has resulted clearly
from the sudden Impulse of those giv
en to carrying concealed weapons that
there has .developed a strong public
Bentiment favorable to some effective
regulation regarding the purchase of
weapons and the right to carry them.
This has resulted in the passage of a
law by'the New York legislature that
makes it a felony for any person to
have such weapons In hla possession
without being able to show a' license
from the police magistrate of the dis
trict in which he lives.
By reason of this law we shall hard
ly expect much diminution br crime
traceable to this evil habit. Without
any question It would be extremely
difficult to frame any law tha: would
reach the evil so effectually as it ought
to be reached; but that law. if it ever
is enacted, must reach the dealer In
small arms. It must forbid the sale
of those arms to any one .except those
legally authorized to purchase, and
even at that It would be difficult If not
impossible to' govern the subsequent
disposition of those weapon's. ;
Universally, and for a long tlnw.
has it been a criminal offense to be
found carrilne concealed weapons, but
the practice has increased rather than
diminished under that, policy, - This
shows that the habit, bad as It Is. 1b
difficult to control, though every now
and then we are forcibly reminded that
It ought to be controlled. The problem
of even reasonable regulation is a
difficult tme to solve, and the lawmaR
Ing body that reaches a solution which
will be anywhere near, effective will
be entitled to the unqualified thanks
ot the entire American public. '
Perhaps some day we may conclude
that we do not need the small arm and
cease to make It, In which event we
will have a solution, the effectiveness
of which no one can questlon.Port-
