His work was always behind that of the neigh boring farmers, although he always got it done eventually. He bad been courting Jennie Blake for fire years, and at last they were to be married at her home m the Stumpfleld district, two miles from bis farm. On the even ing on which the event was to take place bis neighbors, the Fosters, drove by his house on their way to the wed ding. Henry was just going to the barn with bis milking pall. Mr. Fob ter shouted: "Where are you, Henryt I should think you would have been there long ago."

A broad scheme to get all Interior towns in Oregon into one general de velopment league la contained In a let ter from Medford'a commercial club. The letter to the La Grande Commer cial club follows and Is self-explanatory: , ; Medford. Oregon, Nov. 1st, 1911. La Qranda Commercial Club, La Grande Oregon. Gentlemen: ' ' ' v ' Your attention 'is Invited, for your ;;""!''"''" o the following, and your membership and co-operation is solicited. ' .. ; Organization: A new organization fiaa been formed. ? It Is called the Peo ple'B Equitable Rate., League, of Ore gon. ' ; ; .'. , ' Scope: .The organization includes shippers, individuals, and commercial bodies or organizations. , ESEfBSSI Object;' The unlflcatloii and co-op eration of all interior Oregon to se cure equity and Justice In freight rates and other transportation tolls. 1 Need: Large commercial centers, and individual firms, maintain traffic bureaus. .Pacific coast cities. Port land, Seattle, etc., have such bureaui; which cHprata against the unor ganized Interior titles. The expense of such bureaus is too heavy for small communities to bear alone. The re sults obtained and maintained by these bureaus prove their worth. If good for large concerns, a co-operative league will be good for small com munities. In fact Buch a league is a necessity through which to conduct campaigns for the recovery of trans portation rights and overthrow of the wrongs of the small community. Transportation .Wrongs: v A Port land dollars buys 100 cents worth of transportation to points on the South era Pacific company In Oregon, , while the Interior dollar buys only 67 centB worth, of . like transportation. . APort land dollars hua 100 cents worth of transportation on the line of the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Naviga; tlon company, while the interior dol lar buys only 55 cents worth of like transportation. Taxation. ' The courts . have held transportation tolls are taxes. The federal and state constitutions declare that taxation must be equal and uni form. , , ' . Preference: Nearly a century ago the supreme court of the United States declared and held that ''the most ob vious preference that can be given re lates to transportation." - Law; . The' law will regulate the freight rate of the future, but the law, la not self acting. , It' must be made j and then invoked. What that law and what that' regulatloh Twill be depends on us. If we fail In interest, we fail j in redress. The privilege" seeker Is j active to extend and perpetuate bis favors. aThe fruits of his activity will be privileges and favors; the fruits of our.inactlon will be wrongs. Development: Interior Oregon has been and Is being hampered and re tarded by ; transportation privilege and preference. The ability to remove this is G.nrv, Let ua exe MiBe this ab'l Hv. Become a member of the league and give It your support. Reconstruction: . This is a period of reconstruction in rate matters. The time to enlist and offer battle for your rights is how. Precedents are in the making. Policies are in a formative Btate. We should, must, assist In moulding-these policies and make pre cedents. Directive and constructive effort is now Irresistible and mighty; a short time hence, when policies are formed and precedents established, the same amount of effort will be feebl3 and avail little. Plan: The plan of the organization la that each club or body with a mem ' berahip of CO or leas will be entitled to cna delegate; over $0 te 126. two dole-' , I I ) gates; over 125 to 150, three dele gates, and bo on.

ADDITION TO PASSENGER SEBY ICE IS OBDEEpJD. ' PaNengers Given Enhanced Train Ser. Operation of a new train schedule supplement has become effective in Eastern Oregon and by a combination of new features, passenger traffic con venience between La Grande and othey points east has become greatly en hanced. The O.-W,. is now runrlng a coach on No. 10, 'the fast mall train which' leaves La Grande at 5.30 in the moraing. It stops at Hot Lake Union and Baker but makes flag stops at North Powder, Telocaset and Haines. This gives ample time for La Grande people to go to North Powder, ITatnes pr even Baker, when No. 17 is late, and return the same forehoon. '. A branch stub runs from Baker to North Powder daily. It leaves Baker about 5 o'clock in the evening, going to North Powder and return making way station stops. By this anunge ment Baker people can come to North Powder or Haines on No. 17 and get back by 7 o'clock rather than waiting for No. 18 which is much later than that;. ; ' ; The coach on No. 10 between here and Huntington does not carr7 any baggage. The new Bervlce la now in operation under a supplement time table Issued last Sunday. '. .
