' , . - , .... The above atatemsnt Is the result of painstaking research on the part of the government and cannot be disput ed. . ... - . The point that called forth the re search of tbe above facta was to demonstrate, - that any medium that regulary olroalatea among an army of purchases whose annual ooatof living a in excess of il. 600,000, is a desir able medium for advertisers. There Is no other medium except the.iially and weekly Observer, that can offer a similar service in tbis city or county. Mr Advertiser; Here la food for thought The posslblties of careful oontnuoes advertisers in these papers are worthy of yonr deepest consider ation. . Be Careful The Observer has been informed that promoters ot tbe Trading Stamp advertising scheme are headed this way MUd.we would suggest that our business men thorouohly investigate tha matter prior to signing contracts. Elsewhere Is publisher In this Issue what many of the Spokane merchants tblnk of tbe proposition. La Grande has been free of fake advertising for quite awhile and It le a well known fact that tbe tost business men onoe in a while get caught. A word to the wise is often all that is neocessary. The plan is somewhat similar to the piano proposition that disturbed business droits In this city a few years ago. Complaint has reached this office regarding the Proebstel bridge. From the information given here the bridge has never been fully repared from the effects of the high water last winter and now the md nearest town is settling and Is about fourteen inches lower than tbe rest of the struuture. 'Jhli bridge is one of (he important ones in the county and should receive the attention of the county court At the present rate of settling it will be only a short time before tbe bridge will be utterly impaHsable. The proper au thorities should look Into this matter and make tbe needed repairs before it la to late.
