Thoro Is no escaping tbo laws of
imturo. Thoso laws apply to tbo
activity of mankind as well as to tlio
luanlranto plrasos of nature Ono
of tho most certain untl well found
ed of tbo ascertained laws Is tbat:
"action and reaction tiro oaunl."

In business, loso hope. Tboy do not
renlrlo that an day follows tbo night,
bo prosporlty comes after adversity.
It has ulways been so, and nlwuys
will be.
During tho past year business con
ditions In Amorlca, and in ull tho
world liavo experienced tbo dark
hours of depression; this In Itself
manlfostod tho Immutable law, for it
was but tho reaction from tho In
flation and unoxampled expansion
and prosporlty of tho war period.
Kvldoncos of tho return to busi
ness normalcy ara to bo found in
overy day's uows. For example the
reports of building portnl(s in cities
of 100,000 or moro for February
show tho largost volume In several
years. Tbo light of a now business
day Is dawning.

It hns been colorless, It Is truo, tor
no big questions of stato craft havo
boon up for consideration. Ho has
been lucky. Thcro Is no knowing
what ho would do in a crisis.
Thoro is however, a goncral ba
llot hero In Kaotern Orogon that Mr.
Olcott considers irrigation a falturo,
and siuco tho wholo futuro of many
Hastern Oregon communities is de
pendant upon Irrigation, It Is to bo
regretted that tho head of tho stato
government entertains such ideas.
Ho can not bo In sympathy with tho
aspirations of this section.
Whllo Eastern Oregon has not
had ono ot Its citizens chosen for tho
gubernatorial chair sluco tho lato
nineties, when Governor Moody was
elected; and now has no candldato
of Its own, it might bo fitting to
oxnmlno tbo rocords ot tho vnrlous
'candidates to seo how tboy stand
upon tbo questions peculiar to this
section of tbo stato.
Bo far as tbo Argus is aware,
Louis E. Uean, who though born
and rnlBcd in tho Willamette Valley
has a longor rcsldonca in Eastorn
Oregon, and a groater familiarity
and sympathy with tbo alma and
aspirations ot this section than any
ot tho candidates mentioned. Mr.
Uean rodo tho raugo In Eastern
Oicgou for noven years during tho
Impressionable years of his young
manhood. Tho knowlcdgo ho then
Kalnod. tho sympathy which ho
matured at tbat tlruo for Eastorn
Oregon has bcon reflected in seven
sessions of tho loglslatura. Ho has
been with Eastern Oregon In Its
strugglo for recognition at tho hands
of tbo lawmakers at Salem. lloforo

this section oxamlno Mr. Bonn's

Dear Old Thing:
r
Now that, the Dicky birds are with ub again
and the juioy worm is making dates with the early
ones and the sheep are -looking upper and the calves
are looking fatter, now is the time that you are going
to order that new Spring Suit. And if, (Oh you little
"if") and if you order it from us, you will get a
late style, a perfect fit, a new pattern in an all-wool
piece of goods and fine workmanship. You will not
meet your 'twin' ' on tho street a few weeks later, as
we sell only one suit to each Bample. That's the right
way, isn't it? We purchase the goods from one house
and have the suits made by another firm, so we are
sure that they are made to measure. We know how to
take a measure that's a big help. Drop in tomorrow
or the next day and seo our new Spring samples you' 11
be surprised. Yours truly,
ONTARIO LAUNDRY & DRY CLEANING WORKS.
