WHO WILL BE ON THE SUPREME , BENCH? the man who works with' his hands. He is not extreme either way, for he knows that a lot of this loud talk among public men who claim to be the great champion of the ditch dig ger is buncombe) and he lives day by day , what he really believes which is justice to everyone. Justice to la bor, justice to capital; justice to the man who tries and severe punish ment for the grafter and the crook. He is not a new man in Oregon court affairs for today he is ably hold ing a judgeship in Multnomah county and making good in every' way. Whe ther' he will be a candidate for the supreme bench is a matter that, .so far as we know, he has never expres sed himself, but should he aspire to the high office the state will have no regret if it elects him. GO TO IT, BOYS. when the present contest it pulled off and the councilmen in their judgment have given thorough consideration to every claim male. FIFTY-EIGHT BUSHELS. ; Charlie Playle has finished thresh ing a field of grain that returned fif-ty-eight bushels of wheat to every acre of ground tilled. How does that sound. . . r ... :;, '.; ... . Does it ndt sound' like sweet music to the ear of the land owner in the Grande Ronde; sweet music to the ear of the man in business in any town in this valley; .sweet music to the ear of every, citizen, who calls this valley his home? Fifty-eight bushels oT wheat to the acre is a wonderful crop for any coun try. With such an average to start with the threshing . season in the Grande Ronde win mean the thresh ing out of at least a - quarter of a million dollars to the ranchers, which: in turn means that every institution in the valley will benefit from the rancher's prosperity. . . THE DIAZ ANTICS. ' Anyone wno Knows a jnexican can-1 not be surprised at the Diaz 'antics. When ready to sail lor .Japan his country orders him 'eastward and he goes,, like an obedient servant The whole affair looks as. though Mexico was trying a little game of "Now-you-Bee-me-now-you-don't" on the Unit ed States and other powers who want peace in the south. ' But with all of .this attempted stroke of international diplomacy, and the soft-pedal attitude of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan included the fact remains that sooner or later the United States will have to send some soldiers into Mexico and make those half-baked semi-heathens be good. 4:00 p. .m Meetine of Conference brotherhood.

The standing of contestants in the anto contest today, is: . 1: GETTING READY FOR THE i TEACHERS. . County Superintendent Ivanhoe is I already laying plans for entertains ment of the State Teachers' associa-l tion which meets here on Thanksglv ing. The meeting is to be one of Yes, a paving row s on in La Graide. Increasing the number of supreme Now comes Edward W. Geiger of great inter6Bt not oniy t0 tcach. .

And other All , vacancies. Quite naturally the governor appointed men of his own political color, but also quite natur ally Democrats have a hard time in being elected to the supreme bench. This was demonstrated when Will R. paving concerns have expressed in tention of coming to the front . with bids. To all of them, La Grande. says: "Come, we want to hear what you. have to say; we want to see yonr King, probably the biggest Democrat paving and get your guarantee, for of them all, tried so hard to hold on to the judgeship but failed at elec tion. With this past history confronting the new Democratic members they can hardly anticipate lightning strik ing them when Oregon people vote. No doubt the candidates will be many and scattered from Wallowa to (" county, and from Multnomah to Lake counties. It is but to be expected that Multnomah will draw one of the judgeships, and among the men who are decidedly eligible, and qualified for the position is our old be-whis-lered friend, Robert Morrow. Judge paving prices are to come down." Without doubt paving will be r,e- schoola, for questions will be brough that affect directly . the , method of teaching and that in turn- affects the very home. Mrs. Ivanhqe, along with members of the committee, contem plates a splendid program, which along with the social features tha' be furnished by La Grande citizens will make the event one of extraordi nary importance in the state. KnnR&s is nravine for less heat. duced in price in this city. As .to anJ the peopIe of 0regon jn turn offer which company will make the show- up a gi)ent praver that the prayer of ing and get the business, that remalss those Kansas peop)e may be answer. .'or the council to say, but one thing aA . tt i j .(. hnt fu. seems absolutely certain now and that is La Grande will never have to pay as high for paving as in the past. There are few cities needing pav ing worse than this city because of the peculiar soil which in rainy sea- Kon makes a stiff mud, and the peo ple here in full realization , of . that fact wans the principal part of the entire city paved. But the cost must times and this seems to be one of the times. . The Test of Time Time determines whether the policies under which a bank is oper ated are safe. This bank has been In business twenty-six years. It has grown steadily until It has become one of the strongest and most prosperous financial tustltutlons in the West The soundness u. .r. policies Is attested by the long list of conserv ative business n.eu . transact tbelr business here; also by an earned surplus of O.iv.no, the work of time and the res'ilt of conservative management.
