Coffey to slay Mrs. Halts as she lay aleep. he told authorities In his third and latest confession. After holding for several days to a story that he accidentally stew the former La Crosse woman, who eloped witb him to Winona last Hptetnler, the itinerant bond salesman broke down under a ceaseless fire of questions and ad mitted that he deliberately plotted Mr a Halts' death. A baseball bat and a hammer were the struments of death, he said. Ho converted to his own use $5,000 In securities which the woman possessed. '.'jt'ii-y i latest confession was K'l.-n to I.yall Wright, the youthful j she.tff of Juneau county. 1 "I killed her dellberatly; there was no quarrel. Coffty said In a whisper.

READ TllE OBSERVER (CLASSIFIED Ala Ing made by the young communiwt league. Marines at San Diego A detachment of severul hundred United States murines, understood THE TOBACCO PARADOX A scientist at Johns Hopkins university has been closely observing the effects of tobacco on smokers, with these interesting results: He finds that it quickly speeds up heart action, and raises the blood pressure; that it decreases steadi ness and accuracy; that it retards muscular fatigue, stimu lates any automatic function, whether physical or mental, aid increases apparent efficiency in work requiring sustained attention over a long period of time. This is a pretty satis factory report, from any point of view. Those who condemq 'tobacco may find justification, and those who defend it may rfind equal justification. So the anti-smokers will say "I told you so," and the smokers will keep right on smoking, and cvcrylxxly will be happy as usual excepting, of course, when 'the smokers do too much smoking, or the novice tries to ac quire the habit too quickly.

The anxiety is unnecessary and the fear unfounded, in our opinion.! A journey to Salem frill convince any citizen that the utmost is being done by the load delegation and that there is every reason to believe that favorable action will be taken on both projects of inteiest here. Whether or not the armory bill will le successful depends somewhat, perhaps, on the fate of various new revenue measures to be considered, but it is as definitely assured as anything can be in a state legislature -that the normal school for Eastein Oregon will receive an adequate apprrpriation and work can actually be started within alniut 90 days after adjournment.. The tremendous majority with V'lich the measure cairied at the Novemlwr election is a mandate to legislators that is lieing taken seriously. Immediate approval cannot e expected, of course. Cur rent expenses are first given attention by the ways and means committee. Capital outlay for the budget will not In considered until regular matters are disposed of, but the committees shriuld get to that sometime this week. The actual appropriation measures will not pass the legislature until near the end of the session, in all probability, but in the past the approval of the ways and means committees has been equivalent to passage. We do not anticipate any ex ception this year, affecting I. Grande, at least , Union county is extremely fortunate in itspresent delega tion and The Observer has great confidence in the ability, of Senator Hunter and Kiddle and Representatives Weather spoon and Charley Hunter. Roth of the Hunters are experi enced legislators; they know what they want and how to go about it. They are memliers of most important committees from La Grande's standpoint .Mr. Kiddle and Mr. Weather-' spoon have dropped smoothly into the legislative regime and have made' rapid progress. Mr. Kiddle, who will be back on the job this week after an illness, is chaiiman of the senate niilitry-affairs committee an unusual position fdr a new senator to attain. ,. The position of the entire delegation is as favorable as could nonnally be hoped for. The Observer has great faith1 in its ability and though we anticipate nothing sensational and nothing impossible, we are sure our members will ac complish the primary things they have set out to do.' Those things are right; they deserve to win on merit alone. pirated while cn route from Singa pore to llnitKkoiiK- l''lvc Kuropeum taken as hostage. mlnklAr I I (-. .,lr ,. m.1 I..
