UNJUSTIFIED ATTEMPT.
The attempt to retire Cougrcssman
McArthur of the Third congressional
district by members of his own party
is not justified.
Whether Ropublicunt agree with
the congressman entirely or not
should not enter into the case at this
time, for he is serving his first term
which is always conceded to be a "ge
acquainted" period and not a groat
deal is expected from a new congress
man. iBut McArthur has been show
ing well for a brand new congressman.
He has been able to get & hearing

Just now ultra prohibitionists are

There is but one more step, and
only one, to Oregon prohibition, and
that is to prohibit liquors within the

Congressman McArthur, as wo have
followed his career, is entitled to his
party support and re-nomination.
Give him a chance to show what is in

there is dissatisfaction among Re
publicans over his record then it is
time enough to wuge a war upon him.

Mrs. Marion MacRae, the owner of
Larkspur apple orchards, in the Hood
River valley, Oregon, is a horticul
turist whose experience is worth
weighing, considered from whatsoever
point of view. With a capital insuf

ITS LA GRANDE'S BAND.
The new band, or rather the old
players recently reorganized into a
new organization, is a La Grande in
stitution. While It is fathered and mothered,
too, by the Elks lodge it is neverthe
less a city institution and therefore
is entitled to support of every person
who is sufficiently public spirited to
wish for a brass band in the com
tnunity.
Experience 'has taught that a band
must have some backing besides mere-
i rAnni-fni-inl work on a Portland daily
newspaper, later taking up the sale
of fruit lands in the valley which was
fast becoming known in the big mark
ets of tho world for its fine straw
berries and apples. .
Gradually, as she could earn the ex
tra money for improvement, Mrs.
MacRae p,ot her land cleared and set
to commercial orchard. For the first
three years the devoted drchardist
pruned her youhg trees herself, hav
ing lessons and supervision in the
earlier days from a scientific horti
culturist. '
