NOT PAY Down in Portland today the federal court called the case of the United States vs. Conway and Ritchea, and the case bears directly on Union coun ty property. . , When the stampede was on in this fart of the northwest for fruit lands, when the Pat Laveys and the Hill- mans were in their prime; .when the Lakeview crowd were unloading a lot of worthless land on anxious east erners, then it was that the scheme was framed which will, have its end ing soon in federal .court by the government determining whether or not these two men shall be punished . fnr fra11H11lAnt.lv iifunir thn , TTnitarl States mails. They came to Union county and se cured options on a great deal of worfh ' less land. Along with it they had some fair land. But the bulk of their holdings, or options were lands on rough mountain sides possessing only grazing -value. Then they began to : aell the land m the middle west and ,: east at prices good land would command.- Contract after Contract was sold, Their literature showed or chards and level lands, some highly improved. It will bo the intent of the government to show this literature was false, and if that is proven there is little hope f ot these men. . , They swindled their victims there is no Question as to that. And whnt did it buy them? Wherein did they profit by their "get-rick-quick" schemes? A case in federal court, all earnings used to pay attorneys .and court costs, with a possibility of term on McNeil's Island.'.'.; Not only that but Richea, who apparently has been a pretty square Frenchman most of his life, has taken the whole matter to heart and has been con fined in the hospital a great deal of ,the time since he was indicited by the federal grand jury. : What we want to impress is that such a game is not worth the candle. Money acquired by those methods does one no good, and the grief that follows is sure and certain . We have seen mining men entrusted with the capital of eastern people. We have seen these men spend it like wa ter when they should have been devel oping their mine. In every instance we have noticed that the man who thus betrayed his trust has failed to profit by it. In most instances he acquired lavish habits and when he was broke he was the most miserable man in the community. For it is better to have never had, than to have had and lost 'theatres. This statement is made from personal observation. ; While there may be some who con demn the "movies," we can not agree with them. We can see nothing but education and first class entertain' Jment in the kind of programs that are rendered in La Grande. Every perr son, no matter how well read, will learn something if he attends these theatres and it is little wonder that the general public watches with great interest to see what the 'next bill will be, v i Assessor Strain of Pendleton is laying a lot of blame on the corpora tions regarding the state tax board's views of values. But, Assessor Strain has to blame someone, and so long as he doesn't charge it up to the news papers of the state well, let him blame.

"Well, isn't it cute," remarked a La Grande lady coming from Hot Lake when she saw Ravencroft's logging engine doing its routine work at the planer. Yes, Union county thinks it is "cute" and would welcome a gross just like it if they could all be kept at work.
