NEEDS ARE KNOWN
BY JAMES M. KYLE
James M. Kyle, candidal for the
republican nomination for Public Ser-
vtc Commissioner. Is on of the beat
qualified men that Eastern Oregon
could select. He has been a shipper
In Oregon and principally lo Eastern
Oregon for tb past ti years. He was
one of th first men in th state to
realise th Importance of th fruit In
dustry of Oregon and put It on a solid
market, shipping th first commer
cially packed apples from Eastera Or.
gon In the early part of th nineties.
He has been closely Identified with the
fruitgrowing of th eastera half of the
stat for a quarter of a century and
while paying principal atentlon to this
phase of the shipping business he has
been quite a heavy shipper of all
kinds of farm produce and even live
stock.
This acquaintance with local condi
tions and the needs of th shippers
snd growers, gained through his quar
ter century of experience, mskes him
more specially qualified to serve the
Interests of both the shipper and th
transportation companies than any
other man who could be selected. He
understands conditons from the
ground up and Is a man who will
make exceptional use of this knowl
edge.' He has made his home In Stan-
field since the first development work
was done snd Is one of the biggest
boosters for a greater Eastern Oregon
In this section of the state. Ad.) '

James M. Kyle
Public See vice Com mission
As candidate for nomination on the
Republican ticket to the offieo of Pub
lic Service Commissioner from the
Eastern Oregon District, I promise that
if elected I will endeavor to administer
the office so as to encourage the advent
of people and capital into the district
and the State for the greater develop
ment snd improvement of its manifold
resources, at the same time holding sll
eornorstions to strict accountability
under the law. Jamks M. KYLE,
Having registered as Whig, Odd
Teel of Echo seems to have qualified as
a queer duck.
Uncle Sam is preparing to about the
same extent as a policeman who would
arm himself with a squirt gun.
We tn justified in assuming that th
Administration doesn't care to wast
any 'more stationery in its Berlin correspondence.
It begins to look as though there will
soon be very few hunters left to take
advantage of th protracted European
shooting season. -'
Thaw has been granted a divorce,
and both Evelyn and Harry have our
congratulations.

So much has been said as to the re
pletion of knowledge possessed by his
confidential adviser, thst we are confi
dent the president holds a full Houstf.
Russia seems to be doing a come
back with brass knucks concealed in
its boxing gloves.
Should it come to war with Germany,
and we hope it doesn't, we'll be lucky
indeed that she has her hands full
already.
Villa is said to hsve four wives, and
while not wishing tbem any bad luck
we trust they will soon become a quar
tet of widows. . r
Were Villa in a position to be inter
viewed, he would doubtless unhesitat
ingly confirm the Carrantista reports
of his demise.
"A lazy man is a desd one who esn't
he buried," remarks an exchange. If
he could, there soon would be a scarc
ity of lots in the Milton, Freewater
snd Athena cemeteries.
