Praises City For
Civic Enterprise
Portland Journal Lauds La Grande
For Voting Wa'ter Works
Bonds.
Under the caption "A Progressive
Oregon City," 1 he Portland Journal
had the following laudatory editorial
about La Grande, which Enterprise
can fairly take as applying to this city
also, as we wilt spend nearly as much
proportionately for water works as will
tbe Union county seat: Among tbe cit
ies of Oregou that are attracting admir
ing attention because of doing tliiups.
La Grande is taking a high rank, and
this largely because of the great enter
prise being carried on there to secuie an
ample supply of the best kind tf water.
This is one of the prime essentials of
any town, after it has grown into one
of a few thousand inhabitant, and has
ambition and opportunities to grow
and amouut to sonu tiling, municipally.
La Grande will spend $160,000 for a
water and newer system. The bonds
were oied over a year ago, and have
recently been sold in Chicago. The
water will be secured from a pure
adequate mountain stream, at a point
17 miles from the city, and will be
brought in an immense flume to a
reservoir and willybe sufficient for
many years to come. Surplus flow will
be used to operate a modern, complete
sewer system. There will be water
enough for Are-fighting purposes, so
that the city will et revenue not on'.y
from water consumers, but from power
consumer. It will run its own light
ing plant also. This is tbe way to do
things. Thus a city grows and be
comes worthy to grow so long bs such
enterprises are conducted on the square,
are free from graft, and partisan politics
is eliminated from them. , The cltj
can henceforth .be healthful, clean,
in all ways progressive.
Corvallls has done the same, If not
on quite so ext3nslve a scale. Eu
gene and Medford are preparing tc
do so, though In their and some
other cases, the problem is greatei
because a surely ample supply o.
aurely right water is not so avail
able. But these and other Oregor.
cities will succead, will solve these
problems. La Grande is setting, an
example. Now watch It grow anc
prosper.

ALIENS VOTE IN CANADA.
The government of the don t lion o'
Canada is far more liberal than that of
the United StBtes. Citizens of the
United States who own property in
Canada, especially in the province of
Alberta, may vote at all school, munic
ipal and township elections, regardless
of the fact that they owe allegiance to
another government. Thus the Amer
icans going into Canada have a direct
voice in the local government under
which they live and are barred only
from taking part in parliamentary
elections.
