La Grande Is going to vote to build
a city hall for the use of ine people
In conducting the city government.
She evidently believes mat it is poor
judgment to rent a public utility
from a private owner. Yet if some
one would suggest that La Grande
buy and operate an elecirlc light and
power plant, for the use of the peo
ple, several hundred hands would be
held up In horror at such a near ip
proach to socialistic principles. Yet
renting a building from a private
owner for the use of the city is no
more injudicious than for the people
to rent electric light from a private
owner, who is doing business on a
franchise owned solely and exclu
sively by the public. Where is the
difference?
ty has been steady In the direction
of mnterlal development for the last
10 years and It Is In ninny respects
one of the beBt counties in the state.
Lying Just south of the Columbia
river and adjoining the Walla Walla
valley. It comprises a vast tract of
the best wheat land In the United
States, and one of the most valuable
features of this wheat belt Is that lt
produces well without Irrigation. Al
though Its topography Is rolling anil
the character of Its soil Is inclined to
be sandy. It Is as free from suffer
ing the need of water in the growing
season as is the same character -if
land in the 'Willamette valley.
Upsides this, there Is a large belt
of arid land, covered with sagebrush,
which, with water provided for irri
gating purposes, will be as product
ive as any now In cultivation in the
section further cast and north.
Umatilla county has nlways been
proud, as well It might, of the fact
that In 1S97. it produced over 5.000.
000 bushels of wheat, which was one
per cent of the yield of the entire
United States for that year. And
wheat was but one of its staple prod
ucts, for It had. besides, an enormo.is
crop of wool, with its horse, cattle
and sheep Interests to speak of Inci
dentally. Eastern Oregon has other immense
and productive counties which are
growing rapidly. Their development
Is yet to come and surprises aro :n
store tor those who have supposed
that tli nt portion of the state is In
habited principally by non-nrogrcs-slvo
cowboys and the untutored si
wash. Not counting Portland, East
ern Oregon will some day, and not
very far distant, contain the larger
population of the two sections of the
state The "bunchgrassers" arc a
great people, progressive. Independ
ent. Intelligent nnd are at all times
worthy of consideration. They aro
homebullders in the best sense of the
word Salem Statesman.

BECOMING
A MOTHE
Is nn ordeal which nil
women approach with
indescribable fear, for
nothing compares with
the pain and horror of
child-birth. The thought
of the suffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother
of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casU over her a
shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women
have found that the use of Mother's Friend during pregnancy robs
confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the
time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother's Friend
carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but it use
gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents "morning
sickness, and other dig
comforts of this period.

Umatilla county stanus third in

Should stand second in point of en

State Superintendent J. H. Acker
man, on his last visit here, recom
mended that the public school follow
the course of study prescribed ny
the state, especially as to the musi
cal and literary programs and Presi
dent Campbell, of the state univer
sity, laid particular stress on debat
ing and oratory as helps and neces
sary adjuncts to a high school edu

authority for following his popular
methods of teaching.
Paul Krueger, president of tbe
Boer republic, a broken-hearted,
broken-splrlted exile from his native
land, is now dying at Mentone,
France. This old patriot was bom
on the outposts of irlcan civiliza
tion, spent his life in redeeming a
wilderness to usefulness and In old
age Is Btripped of home, possessions,
honor, friends and neighbors. He is
banished from the land ho rescued
from barbarism. He Is driven Into
exile among strangers. His coun
trymen fill early graves on a hund
red battlefields. The civilization
they wrought has been taken over
and Is now being enjoyed by others.
The Boer race Is dispersed and lis
fragmeuts are seeking new homes
among strangers in every quarter of
the globe. Tho thinking man must
ask himself why this calamity visit

President Roosevelt yesterday
j made one of the most dangerous or
ders effecting the forest reserve
policy of the government that he has
issued since he became president.
This order requires the secretary ..f
the interior to consult with mem
bers of congress as to the location
of forest reservations, before order
ing a withdrawal of timber land in
any state. Heretofore the interior
department has made these with
drawals independent of any congress
man or senator and has kept the 'o
cation a secret from the officials to
prevent the location of lieu lands in
the Intended reservations. This or
der of the president opens the door
to the most gigantic lieu land steals
imaginable. By giving members jf
congress information as to the loca
tion of the forest withdrawals, the
interior department would invite
land frauds. Dishonest members i f
congress can give their friends and
agents the' tip and enure areas in
tended for forest reserves would be
Immediately plastered over with .ieu
land scrip and the whole scheme .''f
forest preservation destroyed. It is
a dangerous and unwise plan. The
agents of the interior department
are capable of locating forest re
serves and no congressman or sena
tor should be consulted any more
than any other private citizen. It
gives the tip to a select few and de
feats the purpose of the government.
The president should reconsider the
order and place more secret restric
tions on the formation of the reserves.
HOW DO YOU FIGHT?
Did you tackle that trouble that came
your way
With a resolute heart and cheer
ful? Or hide your face from the light of
day
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh, a trouble's a ton, or a trouble's
an ounce.
Or a trouble Is what you make it.
And it Isn't the fact that your hurt
that counts.
But only how did you take It?
You are beaten to earth? Well, well,
what's that?
Come up with a smiling face
It's nothing against you to fall down
flat,
But to lie there, that's disgrace.
The harder you're thrown, why the
higher you bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye!
It Isn't the fact that you're licked
that counts,
It's how did you fight, and why?
And though you be done to the death,
what then?
If you battled the best you could.
If you played your part In the world
of men,
Why, the critic will call it good.
Death comes with a crawl, or comes
with a pounce,
And whether he's slow or spry.
It Isn't the fact that you're dead that
counts,
But only how did you die?
