given on pay-days, money is plenti-
full and high old time is indulged

GOOD GOVERNMENT LEAGUE
ORGANIZE.

At the organization of the Good
Government League last Wednesday
the attendance was not large. This
was not to be attributed SO much
! to lack of interest as to the fact
that the whole town was upset by
1.-THE fire Monday and that the meet
| ing was held at the dinner hour when
most people do not care to be dis
turbed by business.
| 1t was nearly IL o'clock when the
meeting was called to order at the
courthouse by Mr.. John E. Cotton.
who stated its object and told
o the work that had already
been accomplished and what was ex-
pected to be accomplished.
1 j. E. Gotten was elected chairman
and Louis Hebert secretary.
Mr.. Cotton said that about 200
signatures had been secured to the
petition that is being circulated
az ong the voters. The best part of
the parish has not been canvassed
, as yet, and it is confidently expected
that the number of signatures will
be more than doubled within the
next two weeks.

WILL EXTEND RAILROAD

Sheriff Collier returned from
Boise, Idaho, Tuesday and stated
that he was informed at Baker
by Joseph A, Barton that ar
rangements have been made for
the extension of the Sumpter
Valley railroad from Prairie City
the present terminus to John
Day. This work is to be done
this summer. Preparatory for
this extension it is understood
that work on the depot at Prairie
City has been suspended for the
present.
MIR. Eccles, president of the
railroad has in his possession n
draft for $1,000 which was raise |
by the people of the John Day
valley as a bonus for the eXten-
sion of the road. This fund was
raised about the same time that
Prairie City offered the bonus of
$40. 900 for the construction of
the road to that place. Some
definite statement from those
who have the work under charge
will no doubt be made before
long. Blue Mt. Eagle.

three acres, and every hill count
ed. First he prepared the soil,
then he planted only the most
perfect seed; then he watched it,
cultivated it necessarily when
the ground was dry, and guarded
steadily against damage from the
wash when heavy rains fell, and
gave his neighbors far and near
an object lesson of what might
be done, If men would alternate
their crops; see to the drainage
and fertilizers; as the ranges
grow scarce make more of a fea-
ture of their sheep and cattle;
who knows what they might ac-
complish? But that would mean
intelligent work every day in the
year. Is the average farmer
ready to undertake that kind of
farming?

Senator Oliver of Union county
has introduced a bill in the legis-
lature providing for state nor
NAL school at La Grande. 1t
carries an appropriation of 500, e
900. From the expressions in
the Portland papers it would
seem that the bill was not re-
ceived very favorably and that
it will not get very far before it
is indefinitely postponed. The
Times-Herald believes it a bad
move to again bring the normal
schools into the legislature. The
voters defeated the proposition
to re-establish the Weston school
at the recent election but voted
favorable for Monmouth. If it is
shown during the coming two
years that Oregon needs another
normal and the Monmouth school
is conducted as it should be East
ern Oregon may ask and get
normal.
