Every person In Oregon who Is fa miliar with the history of the govern ment's case against Blnger Hermann will rejoice to know there Is a move ment started to introduce a bill In congress to pay to a wronged man the money he was forced to spend In de fending himself in two trials, both of which resulted in failure on the part of the government official to convict But the money feature of this is the least part of it, for If the bill gets Into congress It will doubtless cause a complete Investigation of the charg- mrftlnit Blnger Hermann which were never proven and which only served to put a stain upon nis name and upon the name of Oregon. The people of this state stand with Mr. Hermann In hla demand for com plete Investigation. They do this for two reasons. One Is because In al- Arcade Theatre THE FALL OF BLACK HAWK TAUDETILLE. most every heart there Is a feeling that a good man has been ruthlessly imposed upon, and the other reason is thnt Oregon as a commonwealth wants that muss cleanod up for her own good name. BACK TO THE PICNIC IN THE (J ROTE. While many thlnga indicate that the world Is cantering along at a break neck speed and that no one has time for anything but to make money, there Is some argument against this way of thinking. The best that has been shown against It was the Cherry fair at Cove last Friday when three thou sand people from over Eastern Ore gon gathered in the grove, and had a good old-fashioned picnic, which, cou pled with music and a short program, made the occasion one of the most delightful held In the Grande Honde valley for many years. Everyone seemed pleased to relax and get back to the grove Just as our ancestors used to do. It was one of those events where no one wanted to see a man fly, a motor cycle race with its usual accidents. In fact, there was no desire to see anyone killed. On the other hand the peaceful nature In mankind asserted Itself, the neighbor ly feeling showed very prominently and there was that good feeling to ward each other which counts for more than anything else In this wide world. We believe there was some balloon ascensions and stuff of that kind, but no one cared to see them. Cove has started right and If she does not spoil that Cherry fair with a desire to have a wild west holdup she Is going to establish one of the nicest, cleanest social events of the north west. To the good people of Cove whose hearts are In the work, who rala the fruit, and know how to enter tain their neighbors, the Observer would respectfully suggest that they keep the Cherry fair In the same snlendld attitude that It started by making It a place for all to gather and enjoy the day under tne snaae which nature has provided. BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR THE FAIR. With only small blocks of stock to place the fair committee Is moving along at a very good speed. Plans are being worked' out dally for entertain ment features which Insure to every visitor a week of solid pleasure and enjoyment Stock exhibits are pledg in a way that means the exhibits will be on hand. Wallowa county has un dor advisement a plan for a county exhibit, including every section of that county, and from every corner of Un ion county comes the word that rep resentation will be good and a first- class exhibit made.

Millions of young men have profited by It. The west has grown and blossomed and prospered. Today the same advice Is repeated by Ave greiit financiers of the east. The west still possesses boundless opportuni ties. They are here to be grasped by young men of energy and attainments, remarks the Oregonlan. On July Mth t'ie Now York World published a full page symposium of opinions It hid received from men of , prominence In tlio fields of politics, I business and finance. These opinions J wre R'ven In resrtonc" to tr- c.uery "What should the young rollcf.e ijrad- nate do? Most sp'clftc of nnv pa to ' locntli.fr for life's endeavor !s tV an swer i;tvrn liy Toirns W. L-iw n, t'i9 Boston financier. "Were I graduat-, lng today from college east, west or south," he says, "I would head for the great undeveloped northwest. I would buy my ticket for Portland, Oregon." , A. B. Hepburn, chairman of the board of directors of the Chase Na tional bank of New York, mentions Oregon, with Washington, Montana. Idaho and British Columbia. "I should say," he continues, "that for a young man Just leaving college the most promising field Is the northwest, and that In regard to a calling or profes sion to follow he may Just as well follow his own Inclination, for provd Ing he Is eager to work he wilt find abundant opportunity In a hundred pitcher, Teck, Barry; umpire Starklll, directions." "Be self-reliant, keep minute ac counts and go west of Chicago," In brief Is the advice given by William Sherer. manager of the New York Cleamg House association. B. F. Bush, president of the Mis souri Pacific railroad, declares that the best chances for success He west of the Mississippi river. From F. I Wilfc, banker and rail road mm of Chlaso, comes fie opin ion that for a young man thrown upon bis own resources the west and north west offer the best opportunities. Of seven men quoted, only one, James G. Cannon, president of the Fourth National bank, New York City, specifically advises the young man to remain In the east. "Stay right at home and be a farmer in New York slate," he says In effect. Governor Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana urges young men to take up scientific farming. Indeed, this open ing Is pointed out by nearly all the writers as one of the most promising of the day. There U more than one significance In the suggestions. These men are successful In life, observant of con ditions. In touch with the Industrial, commercial and financial phases of every large locality. Doubtless their recommendations will promote settle ment of lands where It Is most need ed. Moreover, there Is an Implied endorsement therein of western de velopment enterprises. These finan ciers have spoken their confidence In the northwest. Their opinions onKl-.t to make easier the obtaining of cnpl tnl for worthy, legitimate enfrp-lsos. "Go west, young man" has been sound advice for 60 years. It will re main sound until a century or more J has sustained the prophetic vision of tfce man who first gave It to th world.
