Many scenes have baen laid there. " The hour fa midday. : See tne to men clinging to that ledge of rock.

Look, he wobbles Just a llMle and It would teem he la certain of falling. But be Is not That Is John Cochran, who has seen more political scraps and knows more real politics than half tho legislature. He has scaled too many walls and overheard the plots of too many desperate politi cians to let a little thing like climb ing Ce state house wall bother brm. He Is with Malarkey as a sort of a companion. Cochran has seen many a political gladiator enter the ring and before the battle was over chase the circle in an endeavor to find the gate. But see, they have reached a win dow. ' It 4 the window to the gover nor's office. They pry it up and enter. "Let all who enter there leave alt thoughts of political parties behind." They deposit their bundle, which la a bunch of newly made bills and escape by the same window, while the crowd below cheer President Bla larky madly. , , The governor, was absent; he was ABYEBTISIKG-DOES IT PAT I .. A few days ago Mr. Frank Bay lost a lady's handbag that contained $15 in money. She advertised the loss in the Observer ajid Wlllum Pattison f the American Express company, having found the bag. im mediately got in touch with Oils of fice. The day following Mrs. Bay called for the bag and the money was Just as she'had last placed ,4t. This not only Illustrates that it pays to advertise, but it also -proves conclusively that honesty is still a strong feature wlh some people of this world. . ONE OF GEORGE'S DODGES.

One of the decidedly interesting taflks at yesterday's banquet when the Baker people were here, was the talk by Judge StnHl? on the days when be played baseball. ' The Judge w?.s sure of his dates and made it a matter of record that his first game was played In 1843. Then he traced his career as a "twirler" through the decades to the time he engaged In the national game with the husky Grande Ronders, In cluding J. A Matott and others who in those days claimed attention and applause for the tactful manner In which they handled the little sphere. The Judge admitted baseball Is not now what It used to be. and explain ed the situation by saying he had ten years ago quit playing. His talk filled with humor as it was, recited also many historic Incidents r. Union county needs morn farm ers and so does every other county In Oregon.

OF TMTKD STATES OOTEKKMKXT. fSTTEI) STATES POSTAL SATIHOS DErONTOBT. MR. BBTCE'S PBOPBECT. In the autumn of 1876 ; James Bryce, author of "The American Commonwealth." and recent ambas sador of Great Britain tqu-th Vn'ted i' State, took a vacation WiP which reulted in the publication of a booK from his pen In 1877 entitled: "irons caucasua nnd Ararat; Being Notes or .. m iL. A.mn nf . lranDttnn I mir in inn nuiumu 1876." The book attracted some at tention at the time because of the keenness of the observations of the author. But It Is more Inte.-estln today, 35 years later, because of the predictions which he made In regard to the future of Tnrkey In hurope at that; time and which seem to be about to be substantiated before the nii conflict 1b ended. The defeat of Turkish arms in the BalKan ai and the resumption of hostilities by the Balkan states before Aclr'anople when peace negotiations failed make Interesting some of she extracts from Mr. Bryce's book. Even In 1876 Mr. Bryce was 'm- nsessed with the belief that th-: Tiuk- lnh aovernment was dying. it na been sick for a long time," he wrote, "and tt may have yet a good many venra to linger. But It Is not tie less certain that the sickness Is In curable." He continues: "It Is really not so much a government in our sense of the word as no government. Some philosopher Impressed by the evils of bureaucratic centrallxatlon has de fined the perfect government as an archy plus a street constable. Here you have anarchy plus the tax collector." Istln? government awakened the spir it of' prophecy In Mr. Bryce and he was led to say relative o tt re posal that England endeavor to main tain the status quo In Turkey: "In the moral and poU'l' wor,a in thp materiel world there Is In rottntv no such thing as titns nno: all ts'chanae and motion. If not from het'er to worse then from worse to better. England mav save the si.ltnr. . in...,w. he mav 'd him to suppress Internal revofs. B'" he w'll n?t thereby arrest that sure Ond stendv process of docay which make V eovemTront more and more powerless for anything but ev 1. S-e may delav hut she cannot prevent the arrival. aftr ano'her era of si lent oppression varied by Insurrec tion nt massacres, of a day when r THE QUALITY STORE nieces and Its spoils be shared by powerful neighbor or revengeful subjects." There seems no reason, under ihe present circumataces,' to dispute the prophecy of 35 years ago by Mr. Bryce. . WHS FRENCH RETl'BJiS. MR. MEADE EXrLUSS. Elgin, Oregon, Feb. 26. To the Ed itor: Seeing an article is your val uable paper -of Feb. 22. entitled "A North Sider Deserts Wife at Death" I wish to inform the readers of your !aper and my friends In La Grande, the true state of affairs. I never said at the house: "There she is. bury her." I asked Mrs. Frlswold lr It would not be better for me to give a note to the undertaker, so If any thing happened that I could get the casket without any trouble, as she had already acknowledged that my wife had an Interest in the place, be sides what money I had put in the mv1f This she refused to do. I then left the house and wen. down town and on my way back, 1 met Mr. Francisco, a son-in-law 6t Mr. Frlswold. He was In an angTV mood, and told me not to appear at t did not wish to go with -a peace officer, so I stayed away to Inaurs peace. Hoping you will give space u this article, I am. Yours sincerely, SOL S. MEAD. ... Former La Grande Man Will Be Head .Sawyer at -Meacham Mill. John C.
