Try the Observer for Job Work- THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. The war with Spain cast upon the United Statee the Sovereignty over 832,008 square miles of land 'and 'water spread out in tropical oceaa. In area this ' is some larger than tbe whole of the United Statee in 1800, prior to the Louis, n a purcbas. To be exact it is 5,124 square miles larger than the realm Washington presided over, , . .. :y':-h-'i ' From Bulletin No 1, issued by the United States department oi' Commerce and labor giving the population of the Philippines, census takers March 2, 1903, just published and received by tbe Observer this Mouday morning, the following figures are taken. The Philippine archipolago lies entirely within the tropics, and numbers approximately . 8,141 islands and islets, covering Jan area 832,968 square miles of Hand and water. , . rVitbin tins area there are 7,635,426 people. 6,987,686 of whom are civilized, and647,74C are " wild -and uncivilized, i although not,.,. .without some i knowledge of domestic arts. ' j ,. Setting aside the intermediate water space, amounting to 717, 942 square milesand consider ing the laud alone, the area is estimated to be 115,026 square miles or 73,616,640 acres, o( this obout 12,000,000 acres are now owned by private owners and over 61,000,000 is public laid, of tbe publio land 40,000 ,000 are forest and 21,000,000 availnlV for agriculture. Tbe forest I 'li'l is generally fertile and when oleared will produce splendid crops. ' V ; The land . surface of the Philippines exceeds . that if Oregon by 20,466 square milt s and th ; present populalioui would fill 18 stutes the size of Oregon with as deuse a popula tion as Oregon now hap. It is a duty eurh citizen of) Oregon owes to himself and to tbe people in tbe Philippine isle to lenn us ma h ae possible about these people, their liaK'8 and wautf. tor every voit-r m Oregon has a voice in framing tbe laws that these people have to obey. We should not form hasty opinions concerning them, lest we unwillingly do them injustice. They are ' now our wards, ; learning from us the great problem , of self govern ment, and as tbeir teachers we cannot be too circumspect, and as their law matters we should remember that- justioe , is tbe only sure babis ou whioh governmental authority can be exercised.

These meetings are of importance to the citizens of this city and should be attended far better than they have been in the past. As a usual thing a bandfu,l of tax payers happen around and hold au election and vote a tax to mantain the school for the next year and that i about all there is ever known about the meeting. This is not as it should be. These meetings should be attended by all the tax p lyers and they should hear the various reports read and know something iiboui what liai beeu doue the past var. The school is a good one, but few of the patrons of the school ever take the trouble lo know what is being done or why the school is a good one. Union county need more people. This is made plainly evident at this time by the fact the parties were in tbe city yes terday from Cove seeking berry pickers. There is an ecorinous orop there this season and it is feared that apart of the orop will go un harvested for the lack of help. Families are wanted who will enter the patches and work the season through. As soon as the berry crop is har vested the cherry crop will come un, and the prune picking will begin. The same condition of affairs not only obtains at Cove but all over the county. La Grande should have a belter telephone system aud Manager Osburn is doing all in his power to give us one. It is coming and before a very distant date the present system will be ouly a matter of history. Keep your eye on the gun and notice the change. It is coming sure. Broom corn can be grown here. Why not start a broom factory and thereby furnish a market for another product and more lubor. La Grande needs more wage earners, and more industries which will give wage earneis something to do. Of course La Qrande is going to make every promise good regarding the county seat. We will build a building, andju9t as we said we would. Work is being pushed just as fast as possible. Do not fi rgi't to explain to your friends that l.a Grande is going lo have a Fourth of July celebration this year which will surpass all other efforts.
