Sticking It Through ;; To tho faint-hearted who beliove in ducking every time ii piece of trouble shows up we respectfully cite tho people of Wallowa county. They stuck it through. When finan cial depression hit that agricultural county the people sur veyed, the situation, ceased spending money, went to work, paid cash for Immediate needs mid gradually wipod out old store bills and other obligations. '., This year Wallowa county has n good crop and her people are in the right frame of mind to mako the most of a happy situation. They will not join the riotous spenders but will begin to Amass a resei-ve, for the past few years taught them there are lean streaks as well as fat streaks in every undertaking in life. ( How much better Wallowa county is off than many oilier agricultural section can be understood by a visit in that community. ' Communities arc like men. They can bo weak or be strong under adversity, and Wallowa county has proven herself strong. The greatest mon in thV world havo not been without reverses. But they have come up again, strengthened by tho 'struggle ' ' , . . . . K ' : Take General Grant, for one striking instance.' lie was n dismal failure for half his life. Hut ho never gave up his high ideals or his efforts to attain them. When the crucial time came he was ready for it. His opportunity had boon created within him : At tho close of the first day of the battle of Shiloh, a day of sevore Union reverses, General Grunt received from his much-discouraged chief of staff, McPhorson, the report: "Things look bud, general. " We have lost half our artil lery and a third of the infantry. Our line is broken and wo are pushed back almost to the river. What can we do?" , ' "Reform the lines," said Grant, "and attack at day break. And won't they be surprised!" . Surprised indeed they were, and routed before 9 o'clock. Even the strongest-hearted must fail, not only once, but again and again. Hut what of that? Life is a cam lsiio.ii, not a single day's battlo. Evoryono who succeeds must meet such crises,' and must avert disastor by a prompt reforming of lines and a surprising early attack. There is no real defeat for the one who holds on cour ageously in a right cause. Tho only permanent and hopeless failure conies through a soul-surrender. Were Not Alone This Year I,a Grande's water supply cannot be pointed to by neighboring cities this year with as much derision as for merly lor nearly all the cities of the northwest are having water troubles. Our sinter city of linker has clamped on the lid and I'sois of water are scheduled; while the street (sprinkling, which was a pride of I'aker, has been discontinued. Port land, the home of Hull Hun water, finds herself a little .'hoit ol the puro mountain fluid and has adopted some stringent rules for water users, while other cities aie in even a worse predicament. Hut this community misery does not take away the need of La Grando preparing for the future; it does not prevent people here from viewing the situation with more or less alarm. Repair of the Heaver creek line and develop ment of more water on tho Heaver crook watershed seems to be tho accepted solution of La Grande's water supply and the sooner wo get at it, tho better.
