" ; But Cove is knee deep in scenery to My the least. Besides having nearly every line of business repre sented and all seem to be flourishing and prosperous, we were told that there was not a needy family in the community. Not a single family there who was not comfortable. How's that for the Portland , Commercial i club's campaign of, back to the soil? They are pounding Judge Bennett of The Dalles, because he is not a good democrat. Tney claim he did not support the entire ticket in 1910. Now, isn't that a joke?

' - In Oregon we have stringent laws on selling liquor to boys. In Oregon' we have stringent laws on incendiary. It is said, and from a source that we should none of us' doubt, that positive proof of breaking these three laws occurred in Copperfield. Yet, up to the present time, there has not been a saloonkeeped of Copper field punished; there has not been a gambler punished; there has not been an incendiary punished. Why have those who violated the state's laws not been imprisoned? Why should they go unmolested with the possible loss of a few bar rells ' of liquor and gambling par aphernalia? ' If the Baker county officials fur ther refuse to prosecute the men then why does not the chief execu tive act under the 1913 statute, de clare their offices vacant and proceed tc appoint officials who will prose cute the law's violaters ? ' Would not .the mother and father of the boy who was sent home drunk from a Copperfield saloon feel much better satisfied if that saloonkeeper were in jail, than to see him free even though his liquor has been ship ped to Borne other point ? Calm reasoning is beginning to prevail in this whole matter and the demand for prosecuting is becoming keen, just as it should become keen. The ' advertising feature of the Copperfield episode has new been ex hausted and those who demand re sults from the laws are asking why this evidence which has been mention ed so often, has not been used under the state statutes to put a few of the law breakers in jail. EIGHT HOURS WILL BREAK CITY Commissioner Hoff, of the labor de partment, insists that the state-law on eight hours a day for men on pub lic works includes1 police and firemen and all others working for cities. If the supreme court upholds his views there is a hards-hip in store for all small cities like La Grande. However,- if it is law and the supreme court once decides the matter there ij nothing to do but live up to it until such time as the law can be repealed. The paid fire department in this city will have to be Increased three fold undef the new idea and police men can work but eight hours with 'an entirely differnt shift for Sunday. This will increase the public expense materially and will likely cause many cities to go back to the village cus ' torn of having a one-man force and a volunteer fire department. Mayor .

The house spent the day discussing the Alaska railroad bill passed by the senate last Saturday. A compromise bill for the Chamberlain bill will likely be adopted. The latter 'bill appropriates $40,000,000 for the building of the road and the Wiskersham bill appro- pria4es $35,000,000. , The house has; Cove gtate an cuueenuiu to uauaie tne measure to day.

UNION MEETS WATERLOO (Continued Irom race Oi.t. ers ragged through the serpsnt'no and otherwise enjoyed thenuelves mannerly but hilariously. v . Story of the Game. In the first half both tearrt3 were plainly stage frightened. There was little basketball of the real sort that teams .of such caliber can reel off under less exciting urcumstances. Union, used to a slippery floor, quick- ly overcame that handicap, but the our way , floor at Union is considerably larger and that told on them for a while. The stage fright was1 fully as appar ent with the home squad heavers. Baskets were thrown -on hit or miss tactics. Intense rivalry driving all players to top speed, and Referee Hall let minor fouls go on both side?, calling only those which were glar ing. In his decisions he was emi nently fair, and out of a multitude of decisions inflicted on both teams he miscalled only one. " The job cut out for the officials was an arduous one, but both went through it with good satisfaction. Rosenbaum fol lowed the ball in the aecond half and was. like Hall, as fair as mortal man could be. The game was pleaisingly free from 'disputes' or wrangling. Though furious and vicious, the play ing resulted only in one or two minor injuries. Goodbrod was Union's best score maker. This youngster who leaves Saturday forO. A. C. to win his spurs, has an uncanny precision and accur acy in tossing fouls. Out of 18 fouls called he converted 12 into bas kets. In addition, he heaved a field goal. Union got but three baaketi all told, but each was a gem in sensa tionalism. Lewyn throw from the sidelines and Goodbrod's heave en the run were easily the features , of the evening. Harn, too, got one In fact larity that the margin between the teams was soon irretrievably wide. Only momentarily would Union hang together with aggressive tactics; rlose tenacious guarding breaking it "j almost instantly. The visiting f-r.vards did, however, lack the ac curacy of eye that they display on t'-.eir own floor, for they were sorely tressed by guards. The whole Union tea'm was lighter than four of the La Grande players. The score was 1914FORD IS HERE LET US DEMONSTRATE TO YOU THAT IT IS THE EAS IEST RIDING CAR ON EARTH Smith's Garage La Grande We will skip Union on over and tell a few things about that city on our return trip. It happened that rain began falling when we entered Cove and that Cove rain continued all night. "You may think we are very wet over here," said Rural Carrier Sutherland, "but we are not, for the majority of Cove people believe in dry government." Be this as it may, the rain kept fall ing and occasionally a little snow was mixed with it. But the Cove people did not complain. Invariably they would say, "this is fine, it is just what we have been needing," and they would usually close their conversation by calling attention to the excellent season and how certain it is that a good cherry crop will be harvested next summer. They are long on cher ries over there. ' A cherry is the of ficial emblem of Cove every day in the year and they garner more money from that one crop than many people Imagine. The Cove people are money-gatherers, and right here let us say that La Grande is missing her biggest business opportunity when she does not force a travel road across the valley so those Cove people can come here to trade. They want to come and are willing to do the right thing on a road proposition.
