THE MORMON AN ISSUE.

Not only is the progressive Nor
mon of eastern Oregon an industrial
factor, but he is evidently a political
issue, as well.
With over 500 Mormon votes in
Union county and perhaps as many
in Baker county that organization is
to be reckoned with in future politi-
cal discussions and the appointment
of F. c. Bramwen of La Grande, to
the position of register of the La
Grande office is evidence of this fact.
Mr.. Bramwell has been a leader
of the Mormon church at La Grande
and in eastern oregon for the past 10
years, and is a progressive and ac-
tive citizen. He has been identified
with the growth and Improvement OF
La Grande and has helped bring
about the present high state of in
dustrial development in all of Union
county.
That he will make a good public
official is an assured fact. He has
managed his own business well, Is a
clean, upright and progressive man
of modern tendencies and will give
the land office first-class admins
tration.

SAGEBRUSH, INDEED!

Try a bank where the sagebrush
grows" says the Oregonian to Grant
county bank depositors. OF course,
They are not so slippery as those
where the green moss grows, nor so
shifty and prone to fade" as those
where the gray fog blows. The only
fault with the advice is the disre-
spectful manner of referring to our
symbol flower. Sagebrush, indeed!
Now, Portland is in a state of
emergency and the Oregonian being
its chief exegetist insists on its titu-
lar recognition with all the sensitive
ness of a new found dignity Its
business interests are corporate cap
ital, its. business men, financiers,
and it's business failures, insolven-
cies.
Again. its shell fish are Cookies,
its snails are Whelks. and its many
rawfish are Cray Fish.
In another line, its country fairs
are now Horse Shows, its good old
webfeet are Beavers, its bull run,
Cow Trot, and even it's brambles are
Rose.
No doubt the country press, all
and singular is anxious to join in the
euphemistic crusade, even to the call
ing on Portlands dwellers' socks
pedal appendages, but the Oregon
ian, and others. must cease forever
more calling our beautiful Heather
sagebrush.- County News.

THE LOCAL OPTION BAND WAGON

Union county has already started
the local option band wagon on its
campaign tour for next election.
At a mass meeting to be held at
La Grande next Sunday afternoon the
matter of submitting the question OF
county local option at the next cleo
ton will be discussed. There Is no
doubt about the submission of the
question.
Other counties are going to follow
Union into line and It is quite proba-
BILE that a large percentage OF the
counties Of Oregon will vote on that
issue next June.
One thing is assured in advance:
the counties that have prohibition in
force now will not become wet
again. They are all pleased with
present conditions and will not go
back to the old order.
But whether other counties will be
added to the "dry" list next year
remains to be seen.

dence in Harney county or eastern
Oregon, is a rank injustice, from a
political standpoint. Mr.. Davey Is
capable OF holding the office and the
East oregonlan believes is clean and
honest and will faithfully discharge
the duties of the office, but 1t is In
justice, just the same.
Davey has scarcely made a bona
fide residence in eastern Oregon and
Notwithstanding this fact is selected
over the heads OF dozens of pioneer
residents of Harvey county as the
choice of the delegation for an office
which belongs by every rule of logic
or reasoning to some equally capable
man who has lived in and helped to
make Harvey county what it is.
This same rule applies with equal
force to all other offices, state, dis
trict and congressional and the peo-
Pile should insist on its observance,

OREGON GOES AHEAD.

Portland and all oregon ''resum-
ed this week despite New York,
Chicago and San Francisco, says the
Oregon Daily Journal. The banks
were all open for cash business, as
before the holidays, and nothing in
particular happened Panic" never
showed his wheel-buzzing head. No
FURRY" was visible, or audible. In
fact, a good many doing a cash bus
mess, the same as ever, right along.
Millions of dollars will come pour
ing into Oregon within the next few
weeks for grain, flour and other
products, and it looks as If instead of
money being scarce 1t would be a
drug on the market. Enterprises will
go forward. and people will wonder
what they were scared at.
The governor, under all the cir
cumstances, did the right and neces-
sary thing in declaring the holidays,
but he did an equally good thing in
declaring them off again. Perhaps it
might better have been done even
earlier, but it is better to be too safe
than not safe enough.
He. and the bankers, and all who
have been patient and helpful
through the crisis which includes
most business men, are to be COM
mended and congratulated. So is
oregon as a state and Portland as a
city.

THE WEDDING RICE.

At a wedding breakfast, according
to What to Eat, bridesmaid was
heard to tell the true reason for rice
being used at weddings. 1t was once
believed that If on their wedding
Journey a newly welded couple saw
flock of doves it would mean a
long life of peace and happiness to
them. A bridal party in passing so
frightened flock of these timid birds
that they flew away in great alarm,
and to avert the evil omen that their
flight signified for the newly married
couple rice was thrown In great
quantities to lure the birds to the
place from which they had flown.
This plan was so successful that the
welded pair went on their way re-
joicing and lived ever afterward a
happy and prosperous life. Since
then rice has been used as a symbol
of good luck, peace and happiness at
weddings.

CROOKS AND OREGON.

Around the name of the Crooks
family is woven a thrilling romance
Of early oregon history and the pass
ing away of Colonel William Crooks
Of Portland. recalls this interesting
reminiscence.
Ramsey Crooks, father of the late
William Crooks Of the o. r. & y.
system, was a member Of John Jacob
Astor's overland party which came
to what is. now oregon, under Cap
tain Hunt in 1911.
While on the Bruneau river, in
southern Idaho, Crooks and John Day
became i'll and the party left them
with a few days provisions and push
ed on westward. As it was then late
in the fall they feared the entire
party would be snowbound and might
perhaps perish before reaching the
mouth of the Columbia, the site Of
Astor's new western trading post.
Recovering from their illness suf-
tciently to travel in a few days,
Ctooks and Day started on westward
on the trail of their party. They
were on foot and were then out of
food and subsisted on sage hens and
rabbits which they killed with rocks
and clubs and cooked without salt on
camp fires.
In crossing the Blue Mountains
they almost perished from cold and
hunger, there being no game Of any
Rind in the mountains However,
they were fed and clothed by the
friendly Cayuses which they encount-
cred on the west slope of the noun
tains in what is now Umatilla county.
after a few days rest here they
pushed on toward the Columbia.
When passing down the south bank
Of the Columbia near the mouth Of
the John Day river they were met
by a band OF Columbia River Indians
who stripped the white men naked,
whipped them with deer hide thongs
and drove them for miles in the biting
winds Of midwinter. However, they
were not killed, but were left to per-
ish from cold in that barren country.
They subsisted on fish which they
could catch with their hands in the
river and often waded into the cold
waters up to their necks to prevent
freezing in the cold winds. The
water was warmer in midwinter than
the wind. and after three weeks Of
this indescribable suffering and tor
ture they were met by a party Of
Hudson Bay trappers and were given
clothing and food and were after
ward taken to Vancouver, and from
there were sent by the Hudson Bay
people to Astoria to join their party.
Crooks recovered from the terrible
experience, but John Day fingered
until the next May, when he went in
sane and died at Astoria from the
effects Of his torture during that
memorable December Of 1911.
Thus was oregon won for the white
man. Thus did the pioneers pay the
price with their very lives for this
land we love.
