leaving now for the winter sesion
have kept tbe faith, being diligent and
steadfast hence they have been issued
proper credentials. This ntwspapter
will watch with interest the advance

BOYS OFF TO COLLEGE
One of the strongest assets this city

pride the Observer announces that tbls

PEOPLE SEEM TO FAYOR IT .
Tbe comment following a recent edi
torial In the Observer advocating th'J
purchase of sufficient ground near the
city to insure a race course for the
future is very favorable indeed. Sev
eral substantial citizens have expres
sed themselves ready and willing to
assist In such an enterpise. A start

To procrastinate in a thing like this
Is ot lose thi? opportunity forever. It
means that later La Grande must go
Into tbe country some distance In or
der to secur what might now be bad
within walking distance ot the busi
ness sections. Every growing city
that has not prepared for such a tract
has year after witnessed its folly. Is
it not worth white to profit by the
lesson of experience?
ucation was received in a boarding
school at, Avignon, which was a few
miles distant from his home. After
leaving school he studied law at Alx,
but soon he abandoned law for litera
ture. Though Mistral's poems have
won wide popularity for the charm of
their omance, his chief work and the
one that brought him the important
prize of the 'Institute of France, is his
Provencal-French dictionary, In the
preparation of which be spent ten
years. The poet is a leader in tbi
movement to preserve local languages,
literature and traditions. He believes
that the historic sections ot France,
Spain, Italy, Flanders, Hungary and
all countries where localities had been
strong enough to create a language,
deserve attention for the revival of
these. Year by year the importance
of Mistral's work has come to be more
generally recognized,1 and in his old
are many honors have been bestowed
upon him. ' ' ; "

"GERMAN LATCHKEYS."
Ig Enough te Be Used as Weapons of
Attack or Dofsnse.
Locksmlthlng In Germany Is today
aa Important a trade an plumbing,
blacksmltblng or the vocation ot tbe
barber, say our consul at Hanover in
a recent report. Tbe first lock and key
were Introduced Into Primula In tbe
fourteenth century and caused a con
siderable sensation at tbe palace ot tbe
elector of Brandenburg. He found
that by these device be could do away
with tbe guard at bis private doors
and thus materially reduce bis house
hold exDnes. Since that day the
acblosser, or locksmith, bas been an es
sential factor Id German life.
Tbe present German bouse key could
be need as a weapon of attack and de
fense, besides serving Its original pur
pose. It weighs on an average about
one-eigbtb ojP a pouud, and as each per
son entitled to carry a bouse and cor
ridor key has nearly a quarter ot a
pound of soft Iron In bis pocket It
Is conservatively estimate!! that the
amount of Iron In circulation in Ger
many In tbe pockets of tbe men and
In the bnnd bags of women amounts to
2.005 tons, besides an additional 2,500
tons for tbe keys to tbe Interior of
German homes., Thus something over
B.O0O tons of Iron are put Into keys of
a slse to be found nowhere In Atner
lea. However large tbe bouse or nu
merous the apartments, the outer door
Is locked promptly at 10 o'clock, and an
tbe German spends many of bis even
tngs out every person carries at least
one of these massive key to effect an
entrance.
Madagascar's Two Climates.
Tbe Island of Madagascar has two
distinct climates, two classes of na

France. Along the coast It Is tropical

darker tbuu In tbe Interior. The in
terior Ih a hlitb tablelund and moun

and the natives smaller and lighter lu
