T. T. Geer has made his announce' ment for the republican nomination of governor, . which makes the s'teenth favorite son who will carry the standard of the g. o. p. in Oregon against Doc. Smith, Judge Bennett, or perhaps against "Ossie." From the police department's .re port of arrests for law breaking in La Grande it is apparent the blue coats are not all sleeping, and at least some of them spend their time in rendering the city service. : Judge Henry says it is no t'ouble to solve the saloon question in Cove, and since has been informed of the vote over there an order will be. is sued at the next term of court de claring Cove "d'.-y."

Winters puV.ec ott his rain- coat and left Hot Lake station at; 11:39 P. M. The bunch came to La) Grande on the midnight train and t some of them waited to see if Wint-j ers could finish. About 1:15 A. M.j Winters was sighted, walking, runn ing, trotting, any way to finish on his own power. He finished at 1:18 A. .M in just one hour and 29 minutes. Tired, sweating and as- weary as if he had just come from the Mexican war. Piedmont Adams lost. Better not mention professional baseball for La Grande this season or Pot Foley will turn his two bears loose with instructions to do their worst.
