' ' : I STREET LIGHTS AGAIN. fhe petition to be presented to the city commissioners asking for an improvement district -to provide modem street lighting in the business distiict of La Giande is one ithat will receive the caretul consideration of our "city dadj." There is no doubt about La Grande needing tins improvement jHijd it .has been delayed a sufficient time to permit presentation of all angles, of the pioblem. Nothing willfadd so mifcii' 'tlif the appearance of" tiie'ci'ly geneiSiuy and any improvement of that nature at once enhances the value., of pioperty and makes various locations more de . sirabje. . Light, attracts and darkness repcis. Invariably a cjty that is well lighted and therefore attractive in appearance enjoys a gi eater patronage and draws fiom a larger tenilory. It is an impiovcnient that will be wexomcd by title cntiie city, care being necessary only in seeing that the ftin fixtures companies anxious for our business do not 'over-sell" the city. The Observer has commented on this angle jiorovc,. anil thouh we arc anxious to see the im piovnitiit made, we are equally anxious that sensible ccoiwmy govern the planning for new lighting units. There is ai-happy medium between gloom and expensive brilliancy aitd that medium we are confident will be the goal of the jily in this instance of progress. ir il CRIME PREVENTION. lj is an !d saying that if you would reform a child, il. iij:'neces.aiy to begin wilh his gi and father. This may bo lif.icing more than the warranted premium on heredity. l;ut$hc prul ilt m of instructing in obedience to the regula tions! of society has been greatly emphasized by the preval rncejof eiinies of all kinds, a largo percentage of which are rninjjiittrd by persons who are between the ages of IS and 'J5 jvars. ! 'ijie training i f eliildien cannot be left entirely to the puliSi- srliool.i, as so many parents show a disposition to i:o, jiut the nlilinnliiiM icsts upon the parents and society in Hjneral. 'livelier may enjoin their pupils to obedience MHlijnay set them a good example of citizenship, but HO l.oufx a week, nine months in the year, will not offset bad inlulfiiees from other sources. If boys and girls are to be ! ive( from raieeis of lawlessness, there must be greater co opemtion between the authorities and parents, especially In tljj' cases of chi'dren who show a disposition" to disregard lie Angulations which have been provided for the good of Vm elves and others.

It appears from the statements of farmers, bunkers and other', classes oi cit(.en8 of th.it valley that there are twocluHMia of tann er there, the one-crop farmer and thu farmer who rotates crops and dlveis.ties. It was utaied as u fact that In that country the man win practices diversification Is the inns dependable from a financial- view point. Ho is the betier'rtHli from the standpoint of u banker. Th rotutlon oi crops keeps up the fer tility of the soil and with a con tinuous eepply of moist tire from the tlmo the seed is planted until maturing tune, the inuxnuum o yield is secured. While alfaiia ns i crop Is a source of a laifee in conn from tile hay produced, hi tha country it Is regurded as only sec ondary it being us m1 principalis as a fertilizer in u system ol rota tlon. ISy the employment oi" thii method of rotation, in conuectior with expert handling ol wate. lurge yields are obtuin'd60 bush els of wheat, 8u to Juu bushels oi b.irley or oats, lit to -.1 tons ol po tato s to the uerii orwrounu.

Th ground Is kept sufficiently inoit from tho time the seed is piunte until lime' for maturing ot erupt And herein lies the secret ot s a ci-hs whether the crop In: one t apples or other fruit, or one grow In diversification of crops, imrin the whole of the growing seas there Is never a lack ol water an moisture in .the soil.
