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.

Union and Wallowa counties there are
four candidates: Dr. Mayer and At
torney Trill, both of Wallowa, and Al
Jones and H. B. 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.

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.

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.
