ROOM FOR TWO OR MORE.

In an optimistic mood the La
Grande Observer recently had the
following:
"a day or so ago the Observer was
represented on an o. r. & n. train.
In the coach were number of
strangers and the conversation was
centered on Eastern Oregon. Natur-
ally it drifted to the different towns
and the future each has IN store.
"Pendleton was mentioned and
many nice things were said about the
civic pride there, the splendid spirit
of progress noticeable among the bus
mess people, for the business men of
that town are certainly hustlers;
Baker City was mentioned and as
usual no one could see what Baker
had to make her the splendid town
she is. But finally La Grande came
in for her share of the talk.
There is town that should be
the best in oregon, outside of Port-
land, said travelling man. There
is positively more to back La Grandes
future growth than any other city in
either Oregon or Idaho possesses
outside of the metropolitan centers'."
Certainly the Observer is to be par
doned for its feeling of confidence In
the future of La Grande. By nature
La Grande is fortunately situated and
it is destined to grow and prosper.
La Grande is fortunate just now in
that it has a newspaper that is try
ing to get the old timers "out of the
woods and enlisted in the campaign
for a greater La Grande.
But of course even with its splen-
did backing La Grande can never be-
come the commercial center Pendle-
ton is destined to be- This city above
all other eastern oregon towns is
blessed with fine geographical To-
cation. Pendleton is the metropolis
OF an empire that is now just starting
upon a period of actual development
When this tributary country has been
settled up, when the Umatilla Gen.
tral has been extended southwark to
connect with the least and west"
road and when electric lines furnish
rapid transit service between this city
and neighboring points there will be
nothing to it," Pendleton's growth
will be as certain as is the law of
gravity
Yet La Grande will be good town.

And end their troubles and their days

Because some teamster cusses.

that the present population Of Una
tilla county is 1850, that when "or-
chard" county has been created it
will have $500 people and Umatilla
county will still have $4,000. All, but
the last federal census gave Umatilla
county but $4,000 people. The last
state census taken five years ago
made the same showing and there are
good reasons for believing the pres

Inhabitants than were in this county
al that time. But of course facts as
to population are not desired by the
d.visionists any more than do they
want facts relative to the increased
taxation that will result IL their plan

MOTHER-LOvE.

Motherlove is mother-love
The wide wide world around
Mother-love is mother-love
Wherever it is found
In palace or in cottage
The city or the clan
Mother-love is mother-love
Gods sweetest gift to man.
Mother-love is mother-love
The long, long ages through,
Though years corrode all other love
Still mother-love is new,
A bloom that never faileth,
A fruit beyond decay,
The fresh warm tints of mother-love
Are beautiful for aye.
Mother-love is mother-love
However fortunes go,
Mother-love is mother-love
Though tides are high or low,
Though self-respect may falter,
And scorn of life prevail,
Yet mother-love is mother love
And naught shall make it fail.
Mother-love is mother love,
Most like the love Of heaven,
Though previous every other love
To erring mortal given
Strain of immortal music,
Glow of eternal morn,
Love Of all loves is mother-love
Whence all our loves are born.

VERY, VERY PECULIAR.

Here is something from the last
issue of the Milton Eagle:
1.-The main reason for the pro-
posed division of Umatilla county is
for the purpose of reduction of tax
es and to provide for more efficient
administration of the county's af-
payers"
But if "Orchard" county reduces
taxation to the same extent Hood
River did it will bring about re-
duction upward instead of downward.
E. A. Schiller. of this city, owns
some property in Hood River The
last year that property was in Wasco
county he paid $3.50 in taxes. The
first year of Hood River county's ex-
istence his taxes amounted to $13S.
1t was an increase of s52 or of 61.4
per cent. This increase was but nat
ural. Two county governments can
not be maintained as cheaply as one.
A county with small assessed valu-
alton cannot hope to escape with as
low taxation as a county with a large
assessment. When the divisionists
estimate" that the creation of Cor
chard" county will reduce taxation
they are talking for votes. They are
not even sincere with themselves.
AS for a more efficient administra-
tion of county affairs" that is a Pc
culiar argument to come from Milton
under the circumstances. At this
time most Of the county officers are
from Orchard" county. The asses
sor. the school superintendent, one
commissioner, the sheriff, the clerk
and the treasurer are all from that
regions. Are they to be indicted as
inefficient?
Convenience to taxpayers is also
a strange plea to come from a town
located but a few miles from the
Washington boundary and which
would be inconvenient Of access for
ali sections Of Orchard" county save
that region Immediately surrounding
Milton and Freewater. That is
strange argument to use against Pen
dleton when this city is in the geo.
graphical center of Umatilla county
and has transportation lines leading
into the city from every direction.
But then the whole Orchard"
county scheme is a peculiar one.

HOME, SWEET HOME.

To sit in a wide. easy chair,
To think of the victories which he has

And cease to be harrled by care.
He likes to forget the hard knocks he

To cease to remember his foes,
To contentedly puff a cigar and be

EVERY SPRING is GREENER.

catch the early train,-
The senator with stocks end bonds

And for fit commercial phrases I was
cudgelling my brain,
When quite unexpectedly
Said the senator to me:
Somehow this spring seems greener
than any spring before"
"I see no especial reason, and 1t was
not always so,
But I've noticed IL a dozen years
or more;
And l wonder whether others, when
the green begins to grow
Bright enough to catch the eye,
Feel about it as do I:
That each new spring is greener
than any spring before"
The senator is hearty, but his crown
is growing gray
His years are fifty-three or fifty
And this may not be the reason, but
l rather thing 1t may
For the contrast with the snow
On his head perhaps may show
Why the green each spring seems
greener than any spring before.

Stronger grows immortal hope,
And every spring is greener than

Features OF the Trading and Closing
pricea on Ronrd of Trade.


CHICAGO, March 10.-Wheat prices re-
sponded readily to weather reports today,
declining on early news of rains in the
wheat country and rallytng
when contradictory statements came to the
fore. May closed Bahc up and July sc
off. Liquidation governed corn and much
the same process was observed in the oats
pit, the closing tone in both being firm.
Provisions were rather easier.
Reports of rain in southwestern wheat
fields caused a sharp decline in the open
ing prices of wheat. Later advices that
the rains were unimportant helped to pre-
cipitate a rally, in which the prices for
the May delivery gained decidedly. July
at It's best time was fractionally lower
than its previous close and finished &sc
off, at $1.O6k@1Oh, after having dropped
10 S1.057s and risen to S1.069s. September
moved between SlO3%9l.O% and closed a
shade off, at $1.04hd1.04h, while May closed
b@Ac up at its high point. $1.12A@1129.
Heavy selling pressure at the outset gave
h4%c. During the final half of the SEES
sion there was much buying back of early
depleted lines. All futures worked back to
practically yesterdays closing price, May
moving up from 6lhG62c. There we. little
demand for cash corn and prices dropped
The close was firm in the futures, with
May sake off, at $3.50.
Oats were easy early, but later In the
session a tirmer tone was manifested.
May sold up from 43hd4SAc, the other

firm, with May unchanged. at 4S1kQ43Mc.
