Vote for Roosevelt for President b. -cause he was chosen by the rank and file of the Republic ans, and then a national comiuitt e stole the nomina tion from him. Vote for 13. E. Kennedy for secre tary of Btate because Kennedy is made right and will make a good olticial, while1 his opponent, Ben Okott, has been chit fly occupied in double cross ing the Republicans of Oregon and playing with the West machine. 01 cott is West's pet. A vote against 01 cott moans as near a vote against W?Bt this year as it is possible to give. Vote against Jonathan Rourne u-j-chiiso lie is a political gambler; he is Insincere in his attitude on popular government, Judging by his enter ing tho senatorial nue after tlte people had turned him down in the spring.

It is thc whim of a man who Is insane on alleged reforms; a novelty scheme backed by a millionaire. , Attend to these little matters men tioned above and you will not regret your action. EASTERN M1LG0N AND 1101 KNE, know of no stronger argument why Senator Bourne should not be considered than a statement made by a .Malheur county man. Along with the admission' of Itourne, by his act tlons, that he has been using the di rect primary merely us a vehicle to ride upon, nlong with the fact that he la practically a non-resident of the Btate, that his Interests are In the ex treme east, tha this vote upon the tar iff question showed Just how sellsh a mortal he .s, comes a man rriuu the ! ' c' ''" ''!!! (:' eon who knows what it means to b r. e n coun try developed, and l!.i;i In what he eays: "Granting for the sake of argument that Senator Rourne obtained for Ore gon all of the appropv! '.t:nn ct -(''Vet to him by the advisory committee of the '1'opular (lovci nineiit Club' he has lost dollar.-: to the stale where he se curfd cents in appropriations." said W. J. Morrison, of Jamieon, ialhetir comity. "This Is tru- from the fact that Itourne permitted the repeal of Hcction !) of the n lamatioii act, which guaranteed to fach rtn'e tlv e-xvnditiire for reclamatlo. pr iecv tost Oregon $!),00v,000." dleferlng to tho list of appropria tions represented by the advisory com mitten to liavr been secured by Rourne through his individual eflorts, Mr. Morrison lucid, ntly pointed out a number of items for which the senior Senator, he said was not entitled to credit. "If the $.i,nii0.nui di rived from the si:!'. of public lamia in this state bad lei u -Xjn tided Vre in m tarnation work, as was contemplated in the or iginal act," continued Mr. Morrison, "it would haw be- ti ampl to reclaim a last area of Kaatcrn Oregon and make availabV desirable homes for hundreds of new settlers. It is not unreasonable to say that homes ek ers settling on the lauds thus re claimed would have brought into the. state funds equal in amount to the cost to the Government of installing the projects. Pursuing the argument still farther, I am fully Justified in saying that the revenue from land that could have been reclaimed with tho funds to which the state would be entitled would by this time have amounted to the cost of the project and the additional investment In Im provement? by the settlers. "Gf course, I will probably be ehari.' d with being nier. nary In dis cussing this situation on a basis of dollars and cents, but the fact re mains that, deprived of tliesr- funds, the reclamation and development of Eastern Oregon lias been retarded. And to the extent that this develop ment of the arid sections of the state has been rendered Impossible, in the same proportion the business of Port land and the general prosperity of the entire state has suffered. The loss to the slate of its share of the reclama: tfon fund has not only prevented the extending and completing of projects already started, but' has made It Im possible to Initiate other projects equally necessary to the state." Nature is doing her best to make you Realize that it is time to purchase your NEW TREATY WITH Itl S'iM. The announcement that Russia Is about to move for a new treaty with this country to take the place of that which soon expin.'s will be welcome news to mast Americans. When Con gress denounced the existing treaty on the ground that it had been Inter pret' d in such a nianivr as to dis- rimintite unjustly against our Jew ish citizens public opinion was bad of that action. It was generally fell that, at the expense of any sacrifice of trade or mutual ctmimi rcinl Interests with the great .Muscovite empire, we should assert the right of Americans. without respect to rare, to equal tn atmcnt In a foreign land. This judgment was reached witnom bitterness or undue i xcitement. li was Just a simple matter of duty. The issue was clear-cut. V' eilhrr had ' i iirlic our own declaration that till men are mad free and equal ami are entitled to equal political privileges, or we had to denounce a treaty under which dls( riniiiiiiKition against a par lleiil.ir r.i.e was pi noticed.

J a Grande must grow-it's location and re souices give assurance that within a short time it will be the Spokane of Oregon. At its present rate of increase and growth it will soon double its population and its pay roll. When it reaches that stage in its career Connordala will be practically the center of town for this city must grow down Washing ton Avenue and cutfinto the valley. Values will then be out of sight. They are low now. Go down and see for yourself.
