of interest on time deposits flrom 4
to 3 per cent, will eventually mean a

MAY AVERT HIGH WATER.
While we shiver in the cold wind
of the past few days do not complain,
for this- may be a blessing in dis
guise.
. Not very many realize how nearly
certain extreme Jngh water .is ached
uled for this Spring. The -heavy
snows still in the mountains will, with
a few warm days, let loose tomrents
of water and the Grande Ramie
nver will be transformed into a rbg
ing stream of dangerous proportions.
. The same is true of Catherine creek.
And the cool weather that we are now
. experiencing is preventing, or at least
delaying, this flood of water. 'By
thawing a little and freezing a little
we may avert the flood crisis, a thing
which s deeply hoped for
"GIVE ME SOME BUTTERMILK.'
This took place down at Ulrich's
recently:
A big, brawny man from the log-
gjmg camp came to town. He had on
big boots, pants cut logger fashion,
and seemed to possess a roll of imonoy,
. He entered Lotus' soft drink estab

at every picture on trie wall, exam

Portland's perpetrator of alleged
election frauds has been dismissed and
the crime stands with the criminal
unpunished. A fine example for the
state of Oregon to look upon. II
there is any one crime that should
call for punishment regardless of cost
or of effort on the part of officials
rt is the crime of tampering with
elections.
IWhiskeytown iin California has
changed its name. Who said the sen
timent for dry was not pervading the
grape growing state? We contend
that in the face of such an act by
California town, Whiskey cfreck should
at once be re-chnstened.
It vfas 'bound to be a good sdhool
play with over 600 La Grande children
taking part. Thdre is no actor so
fine s the child where natural ways
still hold forth and the arts of the
adult in changing expression land
assuming roles are missing. The kid
show is the genuine show.
The scenic pictures being sent east
by the Portland Chamber of Com
merce are all right, but pictures of
the Grande Rondo valley in June
wquld .be the finest display of scenery
combined with the active farm that
could be handed out.

The republican county convention
for the year 1892 was held at Union
on the 30th of Mardh. At that time
he "ftmhlindle" now a part oi Bale-
er county, was within the territory
of Union county. The republicans
nominated for the legislature: u H
Russell, of Hilgard, and J. A. WtSght,
oi tepanui; lor enerui, a. j.. uiorwm,
of Rodrwk: fdr clerk. J. D. Guild, of
Elgin: for recorder, J. A. Matott, of
La Grande: for commissioner, Chas,
Hallgamhi, of Elgin; for treasurer,
W. ('.. Cimick. of Union: for assessor,
Ed. Kiddle, of Union; fdr school sup
erintendent, J, L. Carter, oi union;
for surveyor. ' A. Phdlbrick, of .- La
Grande: for coroner, S. T. Vim, of
Union.
Among the resolutions adopted by
the convention was one to discourage
the uso of intoxicants dunne politocaj
campaigns although it was a recog.
nized fact that the treating custom on
the part of candidates fdr . office was
one that could not entirely be done
away with. ' ' ' '
The populist party was. well orga
nized that year and also put' a ticket
in the r.eld. While none oi tneir can
didates were elected that year many
of them ireceivcd flattering votes
which ran well up into the hundreds
and Uhe following election the new
Urtv filled four of the county of
fices. .... ;
The distribution of tho offices as a
result of the election tin Juno, 1892,
was about an even break between the
republicans and demooifute.

The Old Gorgon Grahams of busi
ness won't think much of the rules of
one business man for personal effici
ency os told in the March American
Magazine. Nevertheless ihey are ex
cellent ones, and should be more gen
erally followed than they are.
. "I have found," we are told, 'that
"on some days four hours of keen, in
tense work is worth ten hours of tirod
effort. There are days when I pull
down my desk at noon and leave word
with my stenographer that I will not
be back, and cannot be reached. On
ome days, when I wa to hnve an im
portant interview in the afternoon, I
hove gone to a Turkish bath at noon
and slopt for an hour after my rub,
getting back about three o'clock. I
can easily picture the consternation of
the writers of success pamphlets at
that confession. The ignominy of go
ing to be in the middle of the dayl I
accept their scorn without defense. I
am not writing a success book; this
is not bud down as a rule of life for
anyone else. H la the story of how
