I 1 li i -1 G. L. Larison, Manager. Observer reporter, "are by far the most feasible yet offered. Such men as James J. Hill have openly given endorsement to the idea, which makes me feel that it is right;-Should I be fortunate in this race for governor I immediately after keeping faith with tlie people Regarding curtailment of state expense I will endeavor to have i the state adopt a measure giving this boundaries, including stump arid burned, over lands. ,.1, will insist on ( the state using its credit , to assist j farmers' to develop these" lands and i' sell the lands- to' genuine 'settlers on , twenty-five years time. By develop i ment I do not mean to put a farmer on f a piece of stump land and expect him 'to clear it, not at all. But I mean to have the state do the 'cleaning so that .these lands may be " brought under cultivation within a very reasonable ' time." . , I Mr. Manning went from here to Baker where he will remain for a few days arid on Thursday ,-will be back in Union county and remain until he has visited moat of the people of this section. , - The campaign for joint representa tive on the republican ticket of Union and Wallowa counties is warming up and Al Jones a late entry in the race, is showing activity which is bringing him considerable support. Mr. Jones lives in Joseph and is a farmer and stockraiser. He was born in Marion county, knows the state and its legis lature by observation and contract andv his friends and supporters are strong in their claims that he is the proper man to represent the joint district in the next season. There certainly can be no objection to the Jones platform as he stands for repeal of present tax law, urging quar-! terly payment on taxes; stands for abolishment of a lot of worthless com missions and insists on the : combi nation of the useful commissions to the end that many offices may be wiped off the official slate and many PRIZE. salaries saved to the taxpaying pub lic. His platform rings very much like the famous Tom Kay speech in Salem, when the state treasurer in a clear and concise manner- nointed out the troubles that now confront Oregon people and showed, why a change in affairs is needed. drastic J. C. Henry, Saturday, filed his declaration to become a candidate for Republican nomination to the- office ' county judge. He is now closing up a four-year term in that office, and during his regime has rebuilt a great er portion of the bridges of the coun ty and straightened the up-river high ways. Among the other duties that fall to his office. This gives Republican com petition for the office he seeks for W. j W. Randall is already in the race for the same nomination, the 'same party. The county judgeship is 'also to be hotly contested at the election it appears for the Democrats are to nominate a man for the office. Arthur Williams is a Republican candidate for renomination to the of fice of justice of the peace for the La Grande justice and constable district. Other petitions now being circulated are for D . H . Proctor for . county recorder and J. C. Henry, Republican candidate for nomination to the of fice of county judge. : t - Progressives have jumped into ac tive limelight in this county. Lorenzo Stilwell today announced his candi dacy for the Progressive nomination to the office of county judge, making still more ginger in that race, which at present appears to be the central figure of the primary, locally. New Officers Installed. Local Elks installed their officers for the ensuing year last week. M.

Former La Grander Suffers With Pto maine Poisoning at Ontario. That Will French, former La Grande man now living at Ontario, is a trifle improved from his serious ill ness from ptomaine poison is the word received from Ontario. Mrs. French telephoned to F. R. Bridges of this city Jast evening to the effect that Mr. French was a trifle improved al though he has been very ill so serious ly so, that his life was dispaired of. It seems he was poisoned at Half way, but reached home before becom ing critically ill. : , Guy M- Byrkitt of Portland, who is in the city today came from Ontario here and also reports that Mr. French was in a critical condition. Microscopic Handwriting. It Is possible to possess a certain el gance of v)fnmiinslilp and yet be al most undecipherable as a writer. A distinguished literary mun. whose name 1 mercifully withhold, writes a microscopically small band, almost fairylike in its outlines and possess ing a quite elfin elusiveness almost every word cnti be read as some otber word. Wapaish friends who received from hin-'tters ou commonplace mut ters would t7ietlnies affect to regard them as descrit!uns of his exciting adventures in the Alps, the burning down of bin bouse or sotneUilug simi larly sensational and reply aecordinj; ly.

Sir Edward Cbandos LelKb tells this anecdote iu "Bur. Bat and Bit." It was told to biui by tbe Dowager Lady 1 Cowper apropos of tbe days when all the joints were carved on the table: j ' She was a debutaute. very sby, and ! her old bost, who was about to carve n sirloin of beef, turned to ber and said, "Lady Aune. will you have upper or under?" Lady Cowper' said to me that she bad not tbe least idea what j be meant, so in a weak moment she ' hazarded "upper." Whereupon tbe ; host turued to tbe butler and said In ! a loud voice. "Take It awuy and turn ; it VouiiB ladles give a great deal of : trouble nowadays." ' One Letter Names. Names with only one ' letter have been bestowed on places as well as persons. There is a village called O in Normandy, not far from Argenton. Two Chinese towns are named respec tively Y and U. There Is a river I In Holland, and one of tbe bays of the Zuyder Zee bears the same brief name. France has a river and Sweden a town of tbe name of A.
