Wanted A Hill or Harriman The other day William Pollman, of Baker, was in Salem on cat'le business ahd In an interview with a Portland newspaper he casually made the ro niark that the greatest western coun try, and especially the livestock pro ducera of the west, need a Hill or Harriman at tlie head of transporta tion matters in order that Jhe live stock products of the west may have anything like an even Ibrcak with other industries. Mr. Pollman's statement is very apt hd appropriate. The country does need a Hill or a Harriman. People swore at these men when they were living, but they see now whaft really big men they ,were. They were the men who realized in order fur a rail road to prosper and have tonnage to haul, industries along- the lines of the railroad must be developed. .lames J. Hill knew .his when he shipped nut aeveral trainloads of registered hulls Which he sold to cuttle men at nom inal prices in order that: the grade of their cabilp might be inci'euud and bettered.. Harriman knew the forest a of the west must be nursed ntul that the lumbermen on the coast, must have a freight that would let them live in order that the railroiuls could luuvc the lumber tonnage. Yes, give uh u Hill or a Hurriman In .transportation. And,' taking anoth er step, givo us an Aldrich, a Plumb, and an Ingalls in the United States annate m In other words, resorting to the old prayer, "God give m men." - Well Done The Houho of Representatives did nobly when it passed the Kordney tariff bill by lilmost a straight party voto the Republican members voting for. the tariff and thi Democrats vot ing against it. , Now, wc are getting back Co nor nuilcy, as IVesidont Harding would sajr.. The tariff is plainly the big is sue, bewcen tile two old political psr Ucs and after nil the liirkcri.-ig and talk, Hie vote shows that it is .it ill the tariff that m the national ipies tiod now just as it was in .Mm Maine's time. This nation must Imvo pintecVion or many indust ries of our people will (to-broke. Republicaim seithis con dition of affairs. The Observer has never anali.cd (lie Fordney bill, but we know In a K,n eral way what it contains anil we arc for it. We do nn' mean that the bill ia a perfc-t measure. Kar from il, for no perfect tariff bill will uver 1... fratiHnt. Hut it is a st.-p in tli. right direction and once we are rid of tin Heinorrw'ur anti-tariff ti-inl.-ies. frieiully hand:, can iiniend the Kordney bill until it is a workable measure.

Adelbert Palmer ' ' 1- J'osM'S.sed of the finer feelings if man, West with tiod s . blessing of righteousness, free from O.II selfish ness to e marked degree, constantly thinking of the welfare of others, bending every effort to aid his fel low-man and to support his flag and his country at all times, is the brief but iiragnifirtent story' of Adelbert Palmer, who at the age of seventh- five years, baa passed on. He had been a roKiifc-ub of ji (irandc for many years, and yet few La Grande peflple knew him. We say. knew him and by that we mean knew b,im ifttimalcly, for everyone in tho city know the gentlemanly Mr, Palmer, who was always 'pol'U! tfnd kind to his fellowman. 'I'hc writnr lived as his neighbor for some tijw and we knew him bel ter than most people. Our acquaint ance went below the polite and genteel BUiface, revealing to us the 'man as he is.

Attorneys on both sides will get hot undrn ,lhc collar (before the fii-xbr$'f has been discussed, and when the at torneys get hot there will be some thing stirring. - o It is really shame for asvprclty a town as Hiweburg to come iilo the limelight of publicity with a munl rase such as the IlrumfidiL-Kutiell case. No one could have lieHeveil that people of this kind could have resided in the salubrious climate and among the beautiful hills of Koseburg ami Uougluss county, f the governor of Illinois is guilty Of fraud as has been charged in the indictment, it is a pity.' Any "mini who ncren'x Hie honor conferred noon him is mighty low iiinl mean lo use money that does not belong In him.
