I ' Baker athletic fans are happy. In the first encounter'bo
I tween Baker and La Grande higli schools in Baker since the
football trouble last fall the local basketball quintet emerged
with a single point, while Baker had twenty-five. We arc
glad they feel good about it. If winning by large margins in
j; the future will help them get over their unwarranted pre
l judices when La Grande is concerned, The Observer is per
il fectly willing that La Grande should suffer defeat. Only one
:, thing would this community insist on: No players who have
j been "adopted" to make them eligible to participate.
s ; Joseph and Mannix, Portland attorneys, are doomed to
( suffer for conduct unbecoming members of their profession.
The former is recommended for permanent disbarment, the
latter for suspension for three years. And no one who re
: calls the testimony in the two cases can doubt the good
judgment of the referees in their decision. The tactics em
ployed by these two men cast serious reflections on a
profession that should be maintained at a high level of honor
and honesty. If the court's action sustains the verdict, it
will serve as a lesson to others in the future. It will be a
new measure of protection for the public, for honest and
conscientious public servants. And that, being the purpose
of the law, is as it should be.
" The delegation of city officials and civic leaders from
j Hood River, which, was here last night and today .inspecting
city improvement KtiiWti HninlsreSv4TI tWief cfiltTtWiHt
ities and a desire to profit by their experiences that is most
commendable. Not. always do city administrations have
such broad view's of, their duties and responsibilities. Not
always are the men in municipal authority willing to take
the time and trouble to find out what other cities have done.
Hood River, quite obviously, has a progressive, intelligent
city administration. , Like La Grande's, the officials want
their community to keep moving ahead. They apparently
realize that modern street lighting, for example, is essential
for the modern city just as it is for the modern home. They
know that money spent in a civic improvement of that kind
will return good dividends in civic pride, in attracting busi
ness. Certainly the people of La Grande appreciate this
opportunity to entertain the official family of Hood River,
as Well as the opportunity to render every possible service in
the consideration of lighting projects. Their stop is a com
pliment to this community and it lays the foundation for
intercity good will that cannot fail to have many mutual
benefits in the future.
RICH RKSOUKCKS
If the Russian government could hiive sold $5,000,0(10
worth of pulp liml)cr as it stood in the forests of southeastern
Alaska in 1N(7, when Secretary Seward purchased the entire
territory for the insignificant sum of $7,200,000 the czar
of Russia would not have signed the document that trans
ferred Alaska to the United States, and Mr. Seward would
not have been lampooned as u wastrel for throwing away
public funds.
There is now being cut in Alaska, under a single contract,
a timber tract that will produce more than enough revenue
for Uncle Sam to repay him for the millions involved in
"Seward's Folly." And the cutting of this limber is not in
conflict with the nation's conservation program. Instead of
leaving the old trees die and ml, they will he cut for their
valuable wood and young and healthier trees will rise in their
place.
Since the United Stales built the Alaskan railroad a con
troversy has waged that compares with that provoked when
Seward signed the treaty for the purchase of Alaska. 'Hie
present congress has added fuel to it by giving more than
ordinary attention to the question. But controversies and
congressional debates are a long way from getting the public
out of the notion that it was a bargain and .that the Ameri
can people have been repaid many times.
Alaskan coal, which with the aid of an Alaskan railroad
it was once thought would lower the price of coal in the
United Stales, was found, after completion of the railroad,
to be of too poor quality for the market in the states. Rut
the furs, fish, mineral and lumber coming out of Alaska
each year more than eonuwiisate for this disappointment.

Foods rich in vitamins, minerals
nnd roughage often become tiresome
to the taste. This may bf due to in
correct cooking or the fact that the
food itself is lacking in flavor.
Vegetables are outstanding in the
c!ass of foods that "go begginis."
Spitiaeh is rejected because its
flavor is loo mild. Tomatoes ore
often "turned down' because their
Amor i too yharp. Carrots and
peas, when too old, or cooked too
long, become tasteless.
Vy ming sugar tn reason thse
vegetables as they cook, their flawr
trill be noticeably improved. A dash
of sugar to a pinch of salt Is a good
rule to follow. It is surprising ho
this combination will heighten, for ;
example, the mild flavor of spinach ;
and pleasantly soften the sharp j
taste of tomatoes. i !
