Boston Post. - GENERAL BUSINESS SITUATION I) -Selected. THE ELECTION. UR government is found yffi ed on the principle of majority rule and it is the rule that must obtain here and elsewhere. In the city election yester day a heavy vote was cast and the majority for Dr. Best is de cisive. The East Oregonian accepts that verdict as the will of the people. Whether right or wrong in the matter the vot ers of the town want Dr. Best for mayor and they have spo ken. For the welfare of the city let it be hoped the future will vindicate their judgment. Meanwhile it will be better for all concerned to drop a some what heated subject. It is needless to fight a political battle after the contest is end ed. THE BEST SELLER m HE first year of the Euro- pean war has seen an in crease of 50 per cent in the sale of Bibles by American publishers. Some 40,000 cop ies of this volume is the daily average of their output. Of course, the war abroad has placed foreign publishers at a handicap in the disposal of their product, and by so much the advantage has been in our favor."

We are so careful of Schilling's Best that we take the risk of its pleasing Your grocer has money lark for any disaatif (ac tion ; your lav -ao rule. fit HE following optimistic report as to business con ditions was contained in the last financial review of Henry Clews: General trade continues to expand and bank clearings last week showed an increase from last year of nearly 57'n in spite of diminished specula tive activity. November clear ings were 75 per cent ahead of last year and 40 per cent ahead of 1913. Reports from the west, where good crops are a powerful stimulant, seem es pecially encouraging. West oi the Alleghanies the war count tor little and local conditions are the principal factor. Mer chants in those regions report bare shelves and a widening demand for all classes of mer chandise. Big retail stores in all sections of the country an ticipate a good Christmas trade. The steel industry con-; tinues on its record-breaking course, the present rate of pigj iron production exceeding all precedent. Prices are again advancing and in some in stances have reached a point that restrains orders; but prof-: its are large and this industry! is now enjoying a degree of prosperity which should com-j pensate for the lean period which had been endured fori months. Railroads are heavy! buyers of equipment, having placed liberal orders for rails and eneines, in addition to nearly 35,000 cars in Novem-j her thp larirpst number since i January, 1913. Our export trade in steel is also promising since foreign requirements are increasing while Great Britain and Germany, our chief com petitors, are diverting their en ergies to the demands of war. Building operations are also being resumed on a large scale under the stimulus of rising confidence and an easier credit situation. There has been a decided improvement in the demand for textiles; both cot ton and woolen fabrics reflect ing this change in advancing prices. New incorporations reported in November aggre gated $243,000,000, against $116,000,000 a year ago and $121,000,000 in the same month of 1913. The total in corporations recorded for the past eleven months reached $1,362,000,000, against $877, 000,000 in 1914 and $1,582, 000,000 in 1913. These facts show a remarkable revival of enterprise from the severe contraction which followed the declaration of war; the low ebb being in October 1914, when the volume of new in corporations was only $70, 000,000. The amount of new security issues recorded in No vember was $230,000,000, against $28,000,000 a year ago. This was the largest sum in many months, except February last when the total was swelled by several large railroad bond issues, including $100,000,000 by New York Central. In the face of such facts no very prolonged reac tion in stocks can be expected O SUM CHOP.

FROM THE PEOPLE AX EXP WVIION Schilling's Best Editor East oregonian: I notice in reading your valuable paper of the 4th inst int an article with reference to a Transaction a; Hermiston involving an exchange of! real property made by William B. White to a client of mine, J. H. Gray. Anyone reading the article might think that Mr. White va guilty of some improper conduct in lesard to the transaction, but as at torney for Mr. Gray, and from inj own investigation of all of the facts connected with it, I will say that there was nothing whatever in Mi White's conduct that could be open to criticism. On the contrary, In the transaction his conduct in every re spect was honorable and above board in the highest degree, and I feel after leading the article that it is nothing more than my duty to write this let ter to you. Trusting that you will find space to give it the same publicity that the other article was given, I remain, Very truly yours, E. E. HECKBERT. Portland, Ore.. Dec. 6, 1915.

V WK 0HefiL Ut (Special Correspondence. ) ATHENA, lire., Dec. 7. Friday evening, Dece mber 3, being the 2,'.th or silver anniversary of their wedding day, Mr. and Mrs. W. It. Taylor wci. given a complete surprise by a visit from a number of their friends at their home near Athena. The first intimation of their presence was an ear-splitting din, arising from the honking of .auto horns and the ring ing of cowbells ana beating of tin pans, and the couple realized that they were enjoying the honor of a belated charivari. The serenadeis were invited in, und many congratu lations were showered upon the two who have so happily passed the quai -ter-century milestone together. During the evening the victims were forced to re-enact the wedding, the bride and groom standing be neath a (cow) bell, as the minister pronounced the "sentence" of their continued connubial bondage even unto the golden wedding and the dia mond Jubilee. A handsome silver oaking dish ami other table sliver was tendered (he bride in memory of the occasion. A most happy and Jolly evening was passed, credit being due principally to Mrs. D. H Mansfield and Mrs. V. R. Scott who instigated the affair. A sumptuous wedding luncheon was served the guests by Misses Maude Mansfield and Lillian Uerklng.
