perilsjof grade crossings by making trains unnecessary.
A(lv roads' lead to Pendleton this week for a unique cele
bration that ntiver grows old. As the fame of the Round
up spreads, so spreads the stories of opportunity to be
, found in Oregon.
A La Grande supporter of the stand of Colonel Mitchell
in his air controversy says that the navy should have their
ships and planes taken away before they hurt themselves.
Still, it's the best navy' we've got.

The possibility of Stanficld remaining out of the sen?'
. tonal race in favor of some new , aspirant, and the chance
of Pierce refraining from a try at the governor's job again
these are .subjects l'recnorvtly Under' discussion these
days, 'inhere are prophets wlio predict withdrawal, victory ;
and 'defeat all with equal iismiiiincc. So there is much
political brewing to be done between now and spring. - -
I Wallowa Sun, recently sold to Harold .Ilimistreet,
has taken on ' a changed appearance and la a first-class,
well edited weekly, full of community news. It is a credit
jto Wallowa 'and v.'iir be' given whole hearted support, w?
are sure. Over in linker the recent newspaper change in
The Herald hits been of distinct benefit to that paper and
the city it helps serve. The young men who have bought
Jt , seem to know the how and why of newspaper making
and are hard at the job.
' Publication of income tax records, which is radically
opposed in some quarters, is a very embarrassing thing
to some people probably, and it doesn't give an accurate
knowledge of earnings of those involved when y.e are un
familiar with the deductions and exemptions peculiar to
each case. The only sound argument in favor of tax pub
licity is that taxes are public business and the public has
a right to such information as much as to any matter of
record. Like court recouls, tax infouiiation results in
much idle gossip that it is difficult to avoid.

LA (iUANDK'S POPULATION.
The estimates published Saturday in The Observer rela
tive to the present population of La Grande will be inter
esting to tnosc concerned with the city's natural advance
ment into Eastern Oregon leadership. ' Those who have
studied the figures of gain made in number of school chil
dren, number of lijht and water meters, number of new
homes, and number of pnstoffice patrons in the past fiv -t
years are confident that the immediate La Grande com
munity numbois not less than t(),00() on a conservative
basis. It is a giowlh Hint 1ms been comparatively ster.Hy
during those years, a growth that has gone on without
complete realization by most oT our citizens. In them
selves, the figures are of little importance and are valuable
only to those who have some personal pride in residing and
working in a "city of the 10,000 class." That this growth !
is appaiently steady and consistent and is, for the most
part, healthy is gratifying to those concerned with a
t'lcater La Giwidc. Thut the growth has attained this
point io important in the influence such a community hi'.s
toward becoming a greater industrial and distributing cen
ter. Development along that line is the only way a satis
factory giowlh can be maintained. Ln Grande has a sui
plus of labor and - minis of vet nil ou'le's. I'hvt these
conditions, now slightly out of balance, will adjust them
selves within the next hw years is eenai.i. It v ill be all
iho move nt'd if lwwnt )xpn' tty. t serves to attiurt
capital that will better develop the v hilc.i.:ij ; :v indtut.ial
icsources of the iv.o counties.
