on August 11th; as stated In the La
Grande Evening Observer of August
12th. While L. P. seems to know more
about the -fish, than myself, he Ms
sliehtly , in error iri regard to the
weight and length of the fish in ques
tion, which has, in his imagination,
grown some three inches in length and
two ounces in weight in the two weeks
past since the catching and it is more
than likely due to the slow process of
L. P's. turning this over in his mind.
If the party signing L. P. will kind
ly, look in the La Grande Evening Ob
server of August 12th he will have the
light drawn upon' his mind as to who
caught the fish. . ; j

LOANING POSTAL MONEY, ;,
The sincerity and good intent of
Postmaster Myers of Portland can
not be questioned, when he, advises
, the post-office department at Wash
ington to loan money in the postal sav-
1 Ings banks to farmers with which to
improve their farms. The only ques
tion is the feasibility and the machine
that would be necessary to negotiate
these Joans. ' .;k
.That the money could be loaned at
four or five per cent there is little
doubt, but how is the government go
ing' to prevent speculation after the

illation is just as natural as life. It is
. born in the breast of every human
in fact daily life is more or less of a
speculation. Every banker today Js,
put to many a thoughtful hour over a
, foari he has made to some man for
'the purpose of improving lands or
moving crops, but who has changed
' W( mind after receiving the money
and decided to speculate with it.
''ijlt would seem necessary, in order
to iohow postmaster Myers' idea, for
' the ' government to superintend the
investment of the money thus, loaned
'. and this would entail endless work
and worry." '' : '
- THE CROP OF CANDIDATES, :j
There seems to be plenty- of stal
wart sons in Oregon willing .-to serve
waldWest. Each party has a waiting
list inat is nanosome to jook upon and
composed of raen'sdme of whom real
ly have ability. Bui why this early
' political talk? Does not every sane
' man know within the next' year the
' political map of the nation may be
changed?! That his party affiliation
may be a back number? , That's the
way it looks. No man today knows ex
actly what he is politically so far as
party is concerned,

arrived. It is known that President
Wilson intended baring "the., Mexican
situation completely and.it is believed
that Huert feared the effect that the
message would have on the United
States, and Europe by turning the
world's sympathy -against him. The
president is all smiles and the satisi
faction he feels over-the latest devel
opments in Mexico is plainly shown.
He told callers that he hoped it would
be unnecessary to deliver his, message.

Caminetti, who was indicted under the
