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." . ,

days arid on Thursday ,-will be back

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

salaries saved to the taxpaying pub

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.

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

ty and straightened the up-river high
ways. Among the other duties that fall to
his office. This gives Republican com

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.

WILL FRENCH ILL.
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. After being lorn; tbe subject of
such merry Jests be decided to silence

An Embarrassing Moment.
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.
Only Her Latest
"What Is your last name, please,
madam?" inquired tbe clerk, deferen
tially. "Sly latest name," corrected the lit
erary woman, who is always careful
of ber English, "is Mrs. Havre Fourth
