THURSO AY, IWCKMISKR )2 The legal holidays which have prevails! in tbi- stutt f ir thn paot fix weeks are to end next Saturday, according to a tt:itt;;iiet isnnd by Governor Chanilierlain. The governor believes that the Im-ine? iu ttreBts of the State demand that the holiday end, and that the banks re in such financial condition that they ean protect themselves with .out the aid of legal holidays The governor warns the people, however, that if there is any attempt to raid the 'mnks and tie up business by means of attachment suits that he will immediately declare additional holidays and continue to do so un il such time as the people are will ing to act sensibly in the premises The people of Wallowa county fi lould take a reasorablo view of the situation and nut allow then 8 Ives to be stampeded into making an unnecessary raid upon the banks and the legitimate business interests of the county.

Creditors should be as lenient as possible with their debtors and debtors should be as prompt in meeting their obligations as they can under the adverse circumstances. Any other course will work great hardship upon all the people and cause the loss and sacrifice of valuable property interests. It is a time to bear and forbear. lit flBABQUAKriBILS wf '.
