SUBSIDIZING THE M. & M. CO.
Futile Efforts of the Key to Turn Itself
in the Kcv-holc.
"Whom the gods' would destroy they
first make inad" i an old saying which is
frequently exemplified in every day allairs.
The blooming burg across the way, known
as La (Irande, is now undergoing that fren
zy which is the harbinger of tho fate that is
surely awaiting it. Ami who will say then
is not a strong undercurrent of justico in
all this? Instead of pursuing the even
tenor of its way, sharing the general pros
perity of tho country, pleased at tho suc
cess of its neighbors as well as of itself, it
has hearkened to tho counsels of thowoist
and most unscrupulous eloinents within
its borders, and succeeded in making ene
mies of tlioso who would havo been its
friends, and by cunning and treachery has
sought to agrandise itself at tho expense of
every other section of the county. Hacked
up by an arrogant railroad company which
bus treated tho people as itshlave, tho town
of La (irando became imbued with the
same spirit, and while yet encased in swad
dling clothes imagined Unit it was a full
grown Sullivan, and with the arrogance of
a bruiser has sought to rule the county or
ruin it. Hut the spirit of its dream is
changed at last. It has awakened to the
fact that its high-handed insolence has
been can led too far. It linds that tho peo
ple havo broken the chains of tho monopo
ly that it looked to fur support and that its
prestige is gone. In tills dilemma Its
madness is more manifest and I lie rascally
methods of its leaders more apparent than
ever.
Realizing that the building of the Hunt
road Into this valley which it has mi strenu
ously opposed, is an assured thing, and
knowing that it means tho utter desli uc
tlon of their town. Hie leaders there have
sot themselves to work to mitigate tho re
sult as much us possib'o. To tills cud, wo
arc reliably informed by parties up from
Sunimcrville, a delegation from La firuiide
visited that plate a few days ago, and call
ing a secret meeting of some of tho biiMnoss
men there, proposed that if fiio Hummer
villa people would insure La Grande 'J'tO
votes on the county scut question, Lit
Grande would insure the building of a
branch road of the O. It. .t K. line to Sum-
mervllle.
This delccfablo proposition to buy tho
votes of the good people of that section
with a mess of very thin soup, n it were,
was received witli tho contempt it donervxl.
The people of Summorvillo kuuw that they
hold tho winning cards jiut now and onii
piny out the game without the help of La
Grande. They know that an suru an tho
mouths roll 'round, tliulr town will grow
into a city of larne proportion, mid that
the business mill of La Grande will be
compelled to move toil ort'k other locu
STAYER
ESP
mm
tions. Thoy know that the O. It. it X. Co.
if it expects to get any of tho trado of the
valley will have to build a branch to Sum
mcrville, and that It will not ask a "subsi
dy" of StO votes, but will l)o willing to nay
for the privilege of coming Summervillo
kiinv, s all this and rests Mitistlcd, Tho La
Granders are as fully alive to the situation,
but lu their idea that the Siiiumervillinns
area lot of suckers to bo bamboo.led aud
bought aud sold like a baud of sheep, they
have evidently reached a very advanced
stage of mental aberration.
Another manifestation of (ho peculiar
disease with which they aro alilicted Is their
oiler of a subsidy of $17,00) to the M..tM.
Co., of Island City, to induco tho company
to move to La Grande. Wo understand
the oiler has been accepted and that, tho
work of moving tho elephant up to its new
quarters will commence In a few days.
Tho arrangement is very satisfactory to tho
elephant, no doubt, hut when he gets com
fortably settled and commences to absorb'
the surrounding nutriment into his own
"laxly politic," as it were, the small fry
will realize that they have paid too much
for tho animal and can only console them
selves by sitting Idly on their empty goods
boxes and watching tho elephant cal. In
other words, tho M.ttM.Co. will bo nolo
possessor of that neck of the woods inside
of two years.
Such is tho condition of tho "key to
Grande Hondo valley," anil such are the
desperate aud disreputable methods it takes
in tin) vain effort to prolong its existence.
That it contains many good and fair-mind-cd
people no one will deny, but when thoy
allowed themselves to If dictated to ami
led by a gang of irresponsible, sclf-constl
tilted leaders, they committed an error for
which they must, sullbr. Tin: Hi out has
no excuse to offer for its attitude toward
La Grande. When that town, boasting of
the "thousand men It could run in 011 tho
rallroud to vote,'' attempted to injure us
ami our neighbors, give away tho best por
tion of our territory to Ilaker, and bank
rupt ami plunge our comity in strife for its
own sellisli ends, it must have expected
the opposition of Tim: Scot "I'. This it has
had and will continue to have until peace
and settled prosperity comes tootir county.
