GROWTH REQUIRES ACTION.

It is exceedingly gratifying to
every citizen of Lafayette that
the town has made such prog
ress in the last few years, and
we all wish and hope for a steady
continuance of it's growth. But
merely wishing and hoping is not
a dependable quantity as regards
accomplishment. To assure a
continuance. energetic effort
directed with a special object in
view must be applied and applied
persistentlv until the desired end
is attained.
And as a stimulant to action
we must not forget that it is not
possible to stand still. Towns
like all other mundane things,
must either go forward or back
ward. No exertion is required
to slip down hill, gravity will at.
tend to that. But going up de-
mands push, not spasmodic push,
but never ceasing push. And as
an incentive to apply push, if we
want to see Lafayette grow, we
must not entertain the idea that
the town has so many advanta-
ges it is bound to grow, whether
we act or not. That kind of an
idea has wrecked many a prOmis.
ing town with just as many
colors to it's rainbow as Lafay-
cite has. And we especially
should not become so absorbed
in our rainbow that we can't see
the cloud rising on the horizon in
the shape of railroads threaten.
ing to surround as and curtail
our territory. This requires ac.
ton and vigorous action at that.
Instead of allowing ourselves to
be surrounded and cut of we
must secure additional railroad
facilities and increase our terri.
tory. The Baton Rouge road is
offered US and we must get it.
We simply can't afford the folly
of failing to promptly and fully
meet the condition required fol-
securing it.

The Mexican Boil Weevil.
Times Democrat.
With the progress of the cotton
crop the fight against the Mexi-
can boil weevil has been reopen
ed. Although a complete solu-
tion Of the problem was not
reached last season-that is, no
means Of completely eradicating
the weevil was found-very salts
factory work was done in the
treatment Of the crop to prepare
it against the insect, and the
latter did infinitely less injury
than had been anticipated. The
good beginning then made has
been kept up, 50 that we will be
in q better position to renew the
fight later on in the season,
when the weevils have so multi
piled as to prove troublesome.
How troublesome they are likely
to be is impossible to predict
now with any certainty, but the
experts and the officials of the
Agricultural Department take
an optimistic view of the situa-
alton. and believe that the cold
weather in Texas has given them
. setback. At the same time it
is Recognised that the insects
have moved eastward in Louis
lana, end in spite Of the
strenuous efforts to prevent
their advance, the area infected
BY them viii be found consider
ably larger than in 1904.
Notwithstanding all the en-.
c0uragement received, and the
prise offered BY the Texas Legis-
lature, NO absolute cure for the
evil has been found. Several

OREGON BUCKS
To COLORADO
Cunningham Will Ship 1000
to Denver, Where He Will
Open Sale Pens.

That the call of Colorado sheepmen
for a higher grade of bucks may be
answered, Charles Cunningham. the
we'll known sheepman, will soon ship
1000 head of choice Rambouillets
from his Umatilla county ranches to
Denver, where he will open sale pens
this spring.
While attending the sessions of the
National Livestock convention in
Denver, Mr.. Cunningham found that
Colorado sheepmen were making
every effort to improve their herds
by the Introduction of a higher class
of bucks, and that they are unsuc-
cessful largely, because of the search
ty of bucks on the markets of that
state. He decided to open a sale
pen in the Colorado metropolis, and
will make the first shipment of 1000
choice young rams, early this spring.
1.-THE grade of Colorado sheep has
been greatly improved in the past
few years" said Mr.. Cunningham,
and while the flocks are being reduc-
ed in the number owned by individ-
ual sheepmen, the class of sheep now
being produced is far in advance of
the Colorado sheep of five years ago."

TRIAL OF THE IRELAND CASE.
It's Determination Depends Upon n
Question of Law.

At noon today the prosecution had
completed its side of the case of
George Ireland, the Freewater sa-
loon man, who is on trial for violat-
ing the prohibition law. At o'clock
this evening the jury will meet and
receive its charge from Circuit Judge
Ellis. The jury is composed of the
following: M. NJ. Wyrick, William
johnson, w. H. Hawley. w. d. Hans
ford, Il. w. McComas, A. B. McCarty
and C. d. Rayburn and NJ. l.. Morri-
son. e. N. Smith, John Hayes, ]. S.
Mcleod, Charles Wilkins.
The arguments presented by the
defense were along the line outlined
in the East Oregonian yesterday, and
today the side of the prosecution was
presented by District Attorney Phelps,
]. p. Winters and HALEY & Lowell.
The last two were employed by the
people OF Fneewater to aid in the
prosecution.
The decision in the Ireland case all
hangs upon the legality of the anti
saloon law for the subdivision of
which Freewater is a part. No denial
of the selling of liquor is made, and
the whole fight for the defense has
been on the legality of the law
Should the law be held to be legally
enacted a verdict of guilty will be re-
turned, and If not found to be legal
and acquittal must follow.
