PROPOSED PAID FIRE DEPART.

to purchass. La Grande's streets are
aow hard surfaced in trunk lines all
over the city so that the truck could
reach within two or three blocks of
any fire on a hard road guaranteeing
service the ent.re year tor any relia
ble truck will make the ttree blocks
in mud several loches deep.
A paid department means cheaper
Insurance. It means a safety to prop
erty that otherwise cannot exist. Let
us have the paid department using
proper economy, but eee that it is a
staple and substantial addition to the
city's protection. The people, will
never regret it and the expense will
not be so great as some might think.
kttThe local fire department has start
ed on the right course when it decid
ed to have placed on the city ballot a
proposal or La Grande to have a paid
,'flre department and an auto truck.
This puts the matter up to the people
and relieves the city council of any
responsibility except the purchase of
the equipment If the movement car
ries. Now, should the movement carry 1
By all means, yes. We do not nvean
that an army of paid men should be
employed but there should probably
be three paid men on monthly salary
-whose duty It is to be at the fire sta
tion and in readiness to respond to
any call. The: Are truck la absolutely

When Margaret Mayo wrote "Baby
Mine" she must have had an inspira
tion for the play is surely Inspired By
whoever that goa may have been. It's
a ckver play aftd funny. Funny hard
ly ' describes It, "Its more, than that,
when cares drop from shoulders like,
rain from the clouds, when troubled
minds clear up like the clouds them
selves before the spring sunshine,
when all anxiety and worry roil away
before a gale of laughter much as
th,en it's something more than hum
erous. 'Baby Mine" is this kind of a
show. It's laughable, more than be-
ine laughable, it compels laughter.
Tou simply must laugh, unless your
laughing apparatus is entirely out. of
gear; and several of this Kina were
fixed last night, and although they
started with a wheeze, before the eve
ning was over the laughter came Just
aa merrily as with the more used
laushlns apparatus of the light heart

Fire was discovered In the Parker
Bros.' store building about 9 o'clock
on October 13th. An alarmiwas given
and the chemical engine was quickly
brought Into service. Within a short
time the flames . were under control
and the danger of a serious conflagra
tion averted. Owing to the timely dis
covery, of the flames the damage to
the buildings and stock of goods was
light. It Is believed that about fifty
dollars will cover the bill. ' ."' "

W. T. Wright this week dug a
small patch of Salinas Burbank pota
toes and secured 16 sacks of pota
toes of merchantable size from a piece
of ground 50x100 feet This, i Mr.
Wright estimates, Is at the rate ofOO
bushels per acre. He secured the
seed from the experiment station, and
the tubers, some of them, at least,
weigh from two to three pounds
largie enough for average use. V
