Are We Active?
, This morning, before seven o'clock, the editor of the Even
ing Observer lined up in u local eating house for breakfast when
in came h bunch of tourists. They were motorists who knew what
it means to be on the road.
"Good morning," said all members of the party to everyone
in the place.
liefore: the, breakfast had finished the man spoke to a few
people saying- his name was "Loelller," that ho was a clothier
from Grand Junction, Colorado, and that his town was quite well
pleased with George Garratt who formerly lived in La Grande
but who is now city manager of Grande Junction.
liefore leaving Mr. Loefler paid u high tribute to the Oregon
Trail saying he would take no other route to California and in
sisting that the entire country agreed with him in this.
As the party entered their machine to journey on, one of thb
men hastily alighted and entered the restaurant with a bunch of
Grand Junction literature. As he handed it out to dill'erent
ones he said, "we like your country wonderfully well for you have
li fine country, but wont you study up a bit about Grand Junction
mid when you have an opportunity come back and see us?"
Now, for trim, dignified boosting we contend that fel
low LocU'lcr und his party have got, the world cheated. As the
pur of their Premier ear died away we could but wondor if Ln
Grande people were playing the tourist game in the proper man
ner. Are we active '! ..

oooooooooooooooooooooooooo
For the hundredth time and more Villa is dead, Tim-time
it seems authentic that he died the same death as Jesse James,
shot from ambush by someone who was supposed to be'his friend.
But the manner of his death means little to the world. The
fact that he has been bumped oft and is no longer a figure in Old
Mexico is the chief thing of interest. So long as Villa lived he
k-im feared.''-llfe'phiyed 4.he game of politic accofrdtng to the old
rules, which was to make them fear you rather than love you.
Whilo Mexico ostensibly has been going on without Villa,
yet he has been a factor in everything that the southein country
hits done of late. Nestling in his large ranch he appeared to be
lost to the worjd, yet he was of great importance in. every ques
tion of state,
With his body cold In death hlexican leaders can now step out
without fear and advance some statesmanship ideas for the up
building of that great country and for the re-establishing of
permanent relations.
Villa was a plain outlaw a bandit with no regard for law or
order, with a desire to incite revolt and treason. lie was an ad
vocate of the burning torch, the disregarding of law. lie may
have had his good qualities, too, but certainly he has been a
miirhtv bad man for Mexico. His active career has set Mexico j
back fifty years in the procession of civilization.
Asking "tJrneey
One evening the young minisler,
who had seemed rather attracted by
"Dig Sinter" (i-mee, was dining with
I he family. "Utile Sinter" was talk
ing rapidly when the visitor was
about to ask the blessing. Turning to
the child, he said in a tone of mild
reproof:
"Laura, T am going to usk grace."
,. 'Well, It's about time," answered
"Little Sister" in an equally reproving
lone. "We've been expecting you to
do It for a year, and slut has, loo."

King Uing and Queen Anne hold Cove by the throat these
diiys. The cherry is the subject of conversation, the cause of
constant work and the returns are very gratifying. Campers fill
the. streets, tents are everywhere, the snort of the Ford without
muffler warns the pedestrian to hunt cover for the cherry pickers
have right-of-way and they swing up and down the streets of
Cove with as much ease as mining men of GoldhYld ever display
ed when the Little Florence mine was giving up her ore and send
ing the stocks skyrocketing on the exchange.
Cove is at herself this year and no mistake. The Stackland
boys are busier than the proverbial eranlorry merchants caring
for their cherries, packing fancy boxes in the Stackland packing
house. The Co-operative packing house is working a number of
people and everywhere there is energy and hustle.
John Dean, a large grower and dealer in cherries, is buying
all that is offered at nine cents a pound and he is kept mighty
I usy handling the dill'erent deals each day.
Providence has blest Cove in many ways this season. Tn
the first place she has a noord breaking crop; secondly, the price
is higher than a Tom Cat's back in the dead hour of night, and
third, nature is ripening the lowland cherries first and holding
back the cherries on the foothills which gives the pickers a long
campaign of work and makes them happy.
When the tired day sinks into the arms of restful night in
different parts of Cove one can hear the contented workers sing
ing Bongs and smell the pipe smoker's tobacco us he sends the
curling smoke into the night air resting and smoking after the
day's work is done. Young people full of pep and ginger seek the
dance hall"or the swimming tank, and joy is uneonfined in Cove
during the cherry picking season.
