WALTER Is TOO FRESH.

1t may be worth while for local
members Of the bar and of the Com
mercial club to take note of the bill
introduced by Congressman Lafferty
ana which looks to the creation of
a federal judicial district for eastern
Oregon with headquarters at Baker.
Under the terms of the bill intro
duced and which was referred. to the
judiciary committee the eastern Ore
gon district shall include the counties
O. Baker, Malheur, Harvey, Grant
Union, Wallowa, Umatilla, Morrow,
Sherman, Gillian, Crook, Wheeler.
and Lake. The regular terms of the
court shall be held in the city of Ba-
ker beginning on the second Monday
o. April and November and at the
city of Pendleton on the first Tuesday
ia June of each year.
It is evident that Walter, Abraham
Arthur Lafferty, NJ c., is trying to
pay q political debt. But he should
not be allowed to favor Baker at the
expense Of the rest Of eastern Ore

as headquarters forsooth, It would

If there is to be an eastern Oregon

tiers for the federal court should be

NOW FOR SOME WORK.

For long time the members Of
the Commercial club have wanted a
paid secretary They have realized
that the club has not been upon q
good working basis and that much of
i,s efficiency has been lost because
there has not been a live, energetic
secretary devoting all his time to the
business of the organization.
With the arrival of Secretary Keefe
this situation is remedied. He is an
active worker and full of enthusiasm
over the position. If the business
people Of the city will all unite with
the association and do such work as
they may do for the advancement of
the city some fine results may be
expected.
Now for business.

TOD,y.S BIRTHDAY SKETCH.

]. c. Stubbs vice president and di-
rector of traffic on the Hartman lines
who is planning to resign next year, Is
sixty-four today. Mr.. Stubbs was
born in Ashland, Ohio. in 1S47 and
entered the railway service in 1863.
He held various positions on different
roads until 1871, and was promoted
to the assistant general freight agent
ship of the Central Pacific railroad,
rising from one place to another dur
ing the fourteen years that he was
with the system until he became gen.
eral traffic manager. In 1885 he
shifted to the Southern Pacific and
has been connected with that road
and its leased lines ever since.
Mr. Stubbs has been hard worker
all his life and has some peculiar
views on success. He does not be-
lieve in genius, but hard work. He is
going to retire next year because he
believes the world belongs to the
young man. He has bought a fine
home in his native town, Of which
he expects to take full possession May
81, next year.

THEIR GUILT IS Personal.

Progressiyes like Senator Poindex-
ter Of Washington, complain Of the
supreme court decisions in the Stand
ard oil and tobacco trust cases. But
II these men think the supreme court
should have ruled all business COM
binadons out Of existence then they
themselves are wrong.
Il would have been a hard blow at
American prosperity had the supreme
court interpreted the Sherman law
literally Every other concern In the
country would have been put out Of
existence. the Milton fruitgrowers
union ana the Umaula county wheat
growers association along with the
rest OF the trusts. a literal interpre-
tation Of the law would have wrecked
business and it would have accom-
plished no good. Competition cannot
be restored. The only course oper
now is TO regulate the trusts and com.
pei them to give proper service at JUS
prices

seven states. Kansas and Illinois leg

small majorities.

Several Hints ap to Apples.

TIL Indiana Apple Show, the first of
Its kind in the State. was pulled off in
indianapolis last week. beginning Mon
day morning and closing Friday. From
all accounts 1t vas a big success. and
1t Is said that apple pies. baked apples.
Tried potatoes. apple sauce, apple but
tor. apple vinegar and all OF the bl-pro-
ducts of apples. and everything made
from the apple. except "applejack."
We're exhibited along with the apples
raw. and the latter were there In great
abundance in barrels and boxes and
baskets. etc. a press dispatch about
the show says.
Indiana has had a banner year In
her orchards. The yield has given both
country people and city manufacture
ers opportunity to make up immense
quantities of buffers and other pro-
ducts. and the apple in all it's preserved
forms. as well as the natural state,
is to be seen at the exhibition"
1t seems to me that there are sew
eral hints in all of the above; hints to
Virginia. This State can give Indiana
cards and spades and beat her at the
applc-growing business. u 1t would
seem that the Hoosiers are getting
more out of their apple 'manufactur-
ing than Virginians are. Notice that
dispatch tells about the big things the
city manufacturers" and the country
people are doing in the way of making
"buttcrs and other products" In Vir-
ginia We make all OF our profits from
the magnificent raw apple. but there
are thousands OF barrels every year
that are not saiable in that way, and
II is to be feared that the most OF
these go to waste. I like that WORD
manufacturing" In tho above hints
we are doing some of II in Virginia
but we ought to do moro. That is the
| hint that Is offered.
