Mr.. Edward Everett Young, the
bright young editor of the Baker
City Republican, was some time
ago made a commissioner CT the
Lewis & Clark Exposition which is
to be held inaSR RastlAad isA-4100s.
Mr.. Young has shown a laudable
zeal in furthering the work to
which he has been appointed but
there seems to be some danger that
his enthusiasm may get the better
of his. judgement even in SO impor-
tant matter of public enterprise
as the proposed exposition. Mr..
Young has lately been strenuously
advocating the calling of an extra
session of the legislature during
the coming Winter for the purpose
of making an appropriation for the
proposed show and in SO doing he
may be suspected of not having
fully considered the best interests
of the Oregon taxpayer, who has
had too much experience in the
past with special and regular ses-
sions Of the state legislative body.

The serious reverse which Lord

Of the kind that has happened to the

defeat inflicted upon Dewet, the loss
Of the guns is regarded as q serious
