It would lie economic folly for the people of Oregon to put their stamp of approval on such a practice. Aside from Uie considerations of bonded indebted ness, the confusion and expense resulting in attracts of title, and other legal considerations, the very organization of our state government demands every possible permanency in boundary lines in the interest of business efficiency. Pondosa ami Medical Springs cannot be blamed for want ing to. tako their strip of Union county and add it to Baker county, but who can tell what conditions may exist five, twenty, or fifty years from now which might make it equally desirable, from their standpoint, to come lwck within Union county borders? Milton and Kreewater have little in common with Pendleton, their county seat; they arc a distinct part of the Walla Walla territory, geographically and economically. But would the state of Oregon be wise in cutting orf that particular slice of territory and giving it to Wash hurt .. i..t to meet the present needs of Milton and Kreewater? Mr. Powers is distuiU-d and perhaps estranged because Union county has not built a road to Medical Springs. If Union county fails to give Its approval to the annexation pro gram, he threatens to put the case up to the state in the form of a general election measure. Unwise tactics; but if it comes to that, we are still confident that Union county will remain as it is. In the meanwhile we will continue to urge upon the people and the officials of Union county the need for a permanent road to .Medical Springs and the importance of our meeting this obligation. If the annexation project does nothing more than emphasize this obligation and therefore hurries the building of such a road, it will not have been fti.ru.ea ui vuui, nient Honkers as compared to other .dealer in securities.
