Agents For Onyx Hosery f Democrats are showing little inter est or concern over the primaries in this section.' Very few democrats have stepped to the front and made their little bow for any of the offices, dis trict, county or sectional. Republi cans and progressives have the stage almost entirely to themselves. Only "three have actually filed their nomi nation, petitions for county offices, though most of the district candidates have done so, but at Salem. One county judge, one justice of the peace and one county representative have filed with the county clerk, but that is all. However, there are many others in the game, who have yet to make i their final application for candidacies. In the district races, C. A. Barrett, republican, is the only known candi ' date for joint senator from Union, Umatilla and Morrow. George T. j Cochran will file his petition at Salem j for renOmination to the office of water superintendent for the Eastern Oregon district at once.

Davidhizar, both of Joseph, all republicans, have become active candidates. No democrats have appeared on the scene. In the county representative race from this county, W. B. Sargent, this city, and Attorney L. Denham of Elgin, make up a duo of republican candi dates. No democrats have signified their intentions,' publicly, of entering the primary race. Circuit Judge J. W. Knowles is now out officially on the republican ticket for re-nomination and J.' D. Slater, a local attorney, is credited with being the democratic aspirant for the of fice. W. W. Randall is now a candidate for the office of county judge through the republican primaries and though several democrats are 'said, to be ac tively seeking the honors, none have yet made the steps final. Other known candidates who have yet to file the petitions, include Ed. J ; Wright, republican, for county clerk; i A. Hue. republican, for sheriff : David Proctor, republican, for recorder. These are present incumbents. J. M. Hilts would be the republican coroner nominee. ONI FIRES BEFORE COURT RESULT OF DRIER FIRE ISSUE IN COURT.

BAY & ZWEIFEL 1 1 ' Women are not taking advantage of 1 1 their rights of equal suffrage to any J great extent, if registration is an in- fallible index. A bare ten percent of tne registration so far represents wo j men. Out of the total registration to date but 82 women have fulfilled the legal requirements to participate in I the election of county and state officers J ' or in the making of new laws or in passing on laws enacted by the leg islature. Union county, when com pared to other counties in the western part of the state, is lagging behind in this respect,' for it must be presumed that the total number of women eligi ble to cast the ballot should be some where in the neighborhood of that of the men, The figures are, men, 668;' women, 82. Constant agitation on the part of the press in western Oregon has brought a better comparison and it is hoped the figures will improve for this county . once the fever becomes general, j Citizens of La Grande desiring to register, must do so after the county comt house at the county clerk's of fice before the first of May. Books will close on the 30th of April at 5 p. m. After the primary election the books will again be open until 30 days prior to the general election which is in the first week of November. County Clerk Ed. Wright requests that voters make it a point to register early and not postpone this matter until the last day before closing the books, I which usually is accompanied by more Testimony in the case of the Hart ford Fire Insurance company and oth 1 ers vs. the Central Railway of Oregon j has brought out no startling develop . ments. .. While plaintiffs attempt to ' show that immediate sparks from the engine of the Central Railway of Ore gon were not the immediate cause of the fire, they contend that the engine was the proximate cause. In other words, if the engine had not emitted the sparks and Bet the drier on fire, the barn would not have been set on I fire. . Embers from the burning prune I drier are alleged to 'ave blown over a distance of about a quarter of a I mile north of the drier, across Cather ine creek, over trees, etc, and set fire to the barn. The defense is attempting to prove that children and tramps were near the building shortly before the fire; i that the engine was in proper condi tion and that the fire must have been . caused by some other agency. Most of the day will be consumed in taking testimony and it is hardly like- , ly that the case will be ready for the jury before tonight. In an effort to save money and to expedite matters Judge Knowles has been holding night sessions for the past two weeks or more and it is like ly that another night session is in order in the above mentioned case. Attorneys have been busy for a month and the end is not yet in sight. It is the intention of Judge Knowles to clear the docket before closing this term of court.

Rex Hail to Be Scene of Gaiety Tues day Evening. reservations ask J. H. KEENEY. Agent, O.-W. R. & N. Co. La Grande, Oregon Carrying out the idea of a real Cali co ball, Manager Sherwood announces ,that next Tuesday evening will witness one of the most pleasant events ever yet held in Rex hall. While the re strictions only require that calico of come r.uture be worn, it is understood many of the ladies are preparing nifty calico gowns for the occasion. A cal ico necktie is sufficient to come up to Tonight at the high school auditor ium; the scholars of the Latin depart ment will demonstrate their ability to wield a tongue now classed among the dead languages. But the audience will be supplied with a synopsis and will be able to follow the entire play. An English playlet is to follow this and is said to be a fine production. All parts will be taken by high school pup ils and the show promises to be an eye opener in many respects. The enter tainment will begin at 8 p. m. When the prudent housekeeper stops to figure out the cost, she finds that while Bamngton Hall the Bakerized Coffee costs more per pound than inferior coffee, It Costs Less Per Cup, because you get all the flavor from each particle of Bar rington Hall. There is no waste. The general rule in coffee making is to use six parts water to one part coffee. With Barrington Hall the same strength is obtained from one part coffee and eight parts water. In other words B. H. coffee makes a third more coffee in the pot, than a like quantity of coffee ground in the old wav. SOLE AGENTS the requirements but many choose to indulge in more of the calico feature i than the necktie. 3-13-lt I. PattisonBf os.
