HOb0es Are Deported.

Last night Chief Walden and the
night officers rounded up 22 hoboes
and loaded them into a box car and
departed them, says a La Grande
item Each and every hobo received
personal instructions to stay in that
particulad car until they had placed
a respectable distance between them
and the city Of La Grande. Chief
Waldon states that this is not an un.
common procedure on the part of
the officers. He says the Weary Will
hes keep out of sight during the day
time and in the evening begin to show
up in the alleys and residence portion
OF the city. Then the officers take a
hand and the alley creepers receive
notification to leave town.

Potato Famine I'm Asotin.

There is a potato famine here and
the man with the spuds should be
happy, says an Asotn item. It Is
difficult now to meet the demand, yet
the price has moved up from one
cent to cents pound. Ueople are
unable to account for the short sup
ply on any other theory than that in
terest has centered in fruit growing
and other lines this year to a greater
degree than has been the case in the
past, with the result that the potato
acreage has been greatly lessened.
There is also a scarcity of melons
this year. Statement is made that
there is not one melon this year where
a carload was available last year.
Gardeners have received a fine price
for all classes of garden truck and
the year has been a very prosperous
one in that line.

Big Wheat Sales in La Grande.

Saturday was the biggest day of
the season as far as wheat sales are
concerned. The total transactions
for the day are. placed at $4,000
bushels, says the La Grande Observ-
er, One deal which helped TO make
the day a record breaker was the dis
posal of one lot of $4,000 bushels by
A. B. Conney, the wheat king" to
the Island City Pioneer Mill COM
pany, Most of the buying yesterday
was done by the mills, although the
warehouses along the Elgin branch
took in a fair share of the grain Of
fered.
The prices remain about the same
as the last quotations given as the
local market figures. This is vari-
able proposition, depending on the
grade, quantity and other circumstan-
ces. The present price ranges from
~ to rs cents per bushel.

Wromlne,s Big Wool Clip.

According to estimates made by
George S. Walker, secretary of the
state board OF sheep commissioners.
the Wyoming wool clip for 1908 will
exceed that Of 1907 by approximately
million and a half pounds. says a
Cheyenne item. The clip in 1907 ag-
gregated SS,sS7, 900 pounds, for which
the growers received s7,s11,77S. AL
though the Wyoming sheepmen have
largely Increased the amount OF wool
over last year. because OF prevailing
prices they will receive a million and
one-half dollars less for their clips
this year than last. The average
weight OF the fleeces this year was
approximately eight pounds.

G. S. JACKSON TELLS
OF CRATER LAKE

"Crater lake Is the worlds greatest
natural wonder, and can be made
Oregon't greatest attraction. Thirty
thousand tourists from all parts OF
the world can be brought to Oregon
annually to view this most pictur,
esque and beautiful wonder spot"
said Colonel c. S. Jackson, publisher
of the Portland Journal, who spent
the day in Medford with Mrs, jack
son on returning from visit to the
lake, says the Medford Tribune.
"what is needed to attract this
travel Is a good auto road, wide
enough for teams to pass" continued
Colonel Jackson. "The state Of Or
egon should aid in the building. The
road will probably cost s15e,e0O to
the forest reserve and the govern.
ment can be depended upon to do
its share IN Its reservation and PARK.
THE road should run from Med
ford to Klamath. and ii should be
made possible for tourists to come in
one way and go out the other, five
hour trip from Medford to the lake.
mo other way can as desirable
a class of people be brought to Ore
gon as by making the Crater lake
trip worth while. Millions of dollars
will be left annually in the state by
it, and it is as much to Portland's !
interest as any other section to help |
the work along.
"Medford, Jackson county, and |
klamath Falls and klamath county, |
and the entire state are equaHy in !
terested in this highway and all to-

gether should provide the funds.
Il intend to bring the matter be-
fore the Good Roads association
meeting in Portland next week and
will endeavor to have the associa-
ton concentrate its efforts upon
building the first of the proposed
state roads to the lake. 1 am will
ing to do all in my power to help
advance the proposition, for 1 think
the state has a fortune in this lake."
Medford and Jackson county
should organize at once to build this
road. City, county and state should
work together and begin work at
once"
Colonel and Mrs. Jackson were
taken to Jacksonville and given Q
ride through other parts 'of the val
ley by Mayor Reddy. Both are en-
thusiastic over the lake and over
the Rogue River valley and its fu-
ture.

In other words, the mile-high city

tlon from the fun-makers Of the ma

AS a result, the usual care-free at

feeling that outside ropers could no
get a square deal in Cheyenne thar
anything else, says a Cheyenne item
= For years the Cheyenne riders, OF
those living close to Cheyenne, have
been awarded the championship, and
often when outside riders were clear
ly entitled to the prize; but a trans
formation Is in progress and the peo-
pie Of Cheyenne are determined to
give outsiders the same chance to win
that is accorded local men.
This spirit was manifested In the
stand today, when the judges insist
ed upon Dick Stanley riding again
and again against Clayton Danks,
although the Portland man clearly
outpolnted the Cheyenne rider, by
riding "Old Steamboat" to a finish,
and scratched him at every jump,
whereas Danks rode me veteran out,
law with his spurs set firmly in the
cinches Stanley had been giving ex-
hibitions Of fancy riding in front of
the grand stand, and was worn out
before he entered the bucking con-
test, but he gamly hung on and rode
Beaver" to finish after he had |
subdued "Old Steamboat"
To Stanley belongs the honor of be-
Ing the first man who ever scratched
"old Steamboat" and remained on his
back, for the best riders in the coun-
try have failed to stick and scratch
the outlaw.
The Portland man weighs less than
12O pounds, and not only rode straight
up, but rode part OF the time with his
feet out of the stlrrups and his spurs
dragging back and forth across "Old
sides.
Again and again the vicious outlaw
attempted to throw him, trying every
Jump, twist and turn he knew, but
finally decided that he had met his
master, for Stanley only smiled and
whipped and spurred the harder.

Democrntic Inconsintency.

The Democratic leaders have been

against corporations and trusts and
railroads and have, nevertheless, in
stituted no legislative steps in all this
time for the purpose Of restraining

the Republican party, in carrying out
the promises Of its own platform, is

which they, with a superb self-compla-
cency, claim are really covered by a

"A STATESMAN WITH A CON
SCIENCE"

Description of the Republican Pres
identia1 Candidate by Senator
Borah Of idaho.
(From Senator Rorah's Boston
Speech
"Now, it seems to be conceded by
friend and fee that few men have been
nominated for the presidency whose
experience. whose training and whose
sound and wholesome fashion of grasp
ing and dealing with public questions
were equal to those of William H.
Taft.
'NHe is not a crusader, he is a states
man with conscience. He has won his
present position through a cheerful, un-
hesitating and undertaking devotion to
duty, through actually achieving things
on the open field of action through an
intelligent conception of the strength
and worth of our great government
with its checks and balances and the
strength and capacity of our citizen
ship with it's loyalty and it's patriotism.
mo man ever had a deeper regard
for the fundamental principles and pre-
ceptS upon which this government is
founded, and no one ever had a firmer
conviction that the constitution is a
sufficient chart by which to measure all
rights and obligations and to gauge all
the demands and all the aspirations
and restrain and control all the reck-
lessness of this indomitable race Of
ours. Trained in the law, eleven years
on the bench, he explored well the
sources of Jurisprudence and carried
away from his work an everlasting de-
votion to order and justice.
"Under all circumstances and under
all emergencies, he has proved himself
q brave, clean-minded, self-poised and
coura geous statesman. No man can put
his finger upon a little or cowardly
act. an incompetent or questionable
piece of public service-no stain upon
his private life, no shadow upon
his public career. nd standing now in
the full fierce light which beats upon
throne, with eager eyes scrutinizing
every act of long and arduous public
career. no doubt arises as to his expe-
rience and ability, no challenge comes
60 his fine sense of duty or his patriot
SMm."

4 DRAMATIC CLIMAX.
Effect of One Woman's Pathetic Eyes
Upon Jury.


Upon Jury.
James T. Brady, who was one CT
New York's greatest lawyers. was once
counsel for a young woman in a case
involving an attempt to break a will
His client sat by his side. She was
very beautiful young woman, whose
eyes seemed always to rivet the atten-
ton Of those upon whom her glance
fell. There was a pathetic expression
which affected every one. She sat
watching the jury during the course of
the trial, and at last there was some
complaint that she was attempting by
means of her glances to excite the
sympathy of the jury.
Then Mr.. Brady arose and in one
Of the most touching and beautiful Of
all the addresses he ever made in court
spoke of the blessings which every one
who had an appreciation of beauti-
full things and could see them enjoyed
and dwelt for some moments upon the
happy lot of the jury who could see
the budding Of the dowers-it was
then Springtime-and the charms of
nature. Then, suddenly turning to his
client, he said, "That blessing is denied
my client, for, though she has eyes
which seem to look upon you, gentle
men, there is no vision in them, for
her sight has been taken from her"
She had been, in fact, the victim Of
total paralysis of the optic nerve,
which had not impaired the beauty of
her eyes, but had given to them that
singular pathetic expression which she
was thus falsely charged with en-
ploying that she might secure the SYM
pathies of the jury.

ask that every responsible

cry responsible and fair-minded
member of labor organization,
read these (Taft's) injunctions
for himself. If he will do so, in
stead Of condemning them he will
heartily approve of them and will
recognize this further astonish-
ing fact that the principles laid
down by Judge Taft in these very
injunctions, which laboring peo-
pie are asked to condemn, are
themselves the very principles
which are now embodied in the
laws or practices Of every respon-
sible labor organization. The
principles which he therein so
wisely and fearlessly laid down
serve as a charter Of liberty for
all Of us, for wage workers, for
employers, or the general public;
for they rest on the principles Of
fair dealing for all, Of overland
ed justice for all. They mark
the judge who rendered them as

COCHRAN ON TAFT.

There is a remarkable unanim-
fly of opinion of Judge Taft in
all parties and in all sections.
Men pay tribute to his remark
able ability even where party pol
itics may exert such an influence
as to demand the espousing Of
the rival presidential candidates
cause. AS an illustration w.
Bourke Cochran in an interview
at Boston the other day said:
"Yes, l shall support Bryan; he
is the best candidate the Demo-
Gratis could put up. Taft, how
ever. is the greatest and best
qualified nominee ever offered in
any republic in the world. He is
greater man than Roosevelt,
and when surrounded by the
same environments that made
Roosevelt great will prove a big
ger man. Taft is a wonderful adj
ministrator, the greatest the
country has ever seen, and is a
wonderful worker"
