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.

opportunity to appoint two men to, streets to be improved.. 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.

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

the peculiar soil which in rainy sea-

ple here in full realization , of . that
fact wans the principal part of the
entire city paved. But the cost must

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.
This bank haa facilities for taking care of more high grade biM

banking.
