As it has transpired, there is no damage at all exeepting to a few wet spots that were frozen in. the earlier and severer part of the eold spell. The season is now so far advaneed that there Is little danifer of anv fur ther damage from freezing weather. hZrfl,7:7;'it been no damage to fruit. l' "lHvgfB"aI P"Von- There has At least that There was never at this season a bt- ter prospect for a good fruit erop, but normal conditions will bring them all through to that approach to per feetioo for which Oregon is justly famed. Time was, a number of years ago, when the average .Willamette valley farmer had nothing to sell at this season. This condition . has changed and is rapidly changing. The Lury farmers have doubled their output of butter fat. lately. , These men receive their checks regularly. The poultry in dustry also " has : greatly expanded. bringing to the farmers supplying the markets with their products ready cash the year through. Most farmers these days , have something in the way of livestock7 to turn off at any season. Within a few weeks the 125.000 or mo goats oi Oregon will . be sneared. f brinirini; to the country aronnd Salem something like $100,000 cash. Then will soon follow wool, then small fruits, etc. There is now something doing in a business way by the average Oregon farmer all the year through, and this condition . helps tbo merchant, the butcher, baker and candlestick maker. It is the nimble penny that makes trade lively, and not the slow dollar that comes onlv once a year. Write This Down in the book or memory: there is no such thing as a harmless cough.

This, Together With Protest From La Grande Officials, Is Reasons Governor Gives for Vising Veto to Senate Bill No. 203, by McDonald. . Oovernor Chamberlain baa fixed bis veto to Henate bill No. 200, by Senator McDonald. This bill provided for the vacation or a tract or ground as a public square anil certain streets and alleys in La Grande. In his veto mes sage tbe Oovernor says: "The. measure is purely local and affects only property situate. within the' eity of La U ramie, but it does not appear to have originated with tho eity,- auinoruies or to nave Iveen generally discussed or acted wpba by the citizens"" it was mtroluced in the Leafslature. Oa thr contrary, the mayor of the city, members of tbe council and many citi zens have protested against the ap proval of the act for the reasons here in stated and on other grounds. "In matters purely local, the Tr' test of tha dulv elected renrescnUilivesJ' of the people of the locality affected? is entitled to the gravest consideration, ! nui- ssiac iroro ine protest or tbe au thorities and citizens of La Orusde I do not believe -that tbe Legislature has power to vacate a pnblte twfnare ia vny city or to vacate portions of streets which have been dedicated, and practically appropriate those portions of . tie street attempted to be vac ted to the private use of abutting property owner, as the aet'in queltioj? does."
