ADVERflSINO THAT PAYS The fact that newspapers are read, and widely read, receives sufficient evidence from the wrathful attitude of the public officials of the character of Peu- nypacker, of Pennsylvania, and Yates, of Illinois. The latter gentleman took occasion, in his last message to the legislature of bis state, severely to animadvert Otl thm nnmliwl of t.rin maa of Illinois, not because of inde cency of their cjlumns, as the New York Evening Post points out, "but because tbe press makes persistent and successful use of publicity in regard to public men and to matters in terestiug the public." In other words, that it is the newspaper that is read, and being read has its great influence and effect as Governor Yates, undoubtedly. found when he came before the convention of bis party for a nomination and was defeated. And that brings up tbe story of the Illinois gentleman who evolved a most brilliant scheme for advertising his magnificent bargaius. Procuring, through the boys of his town, an enorm ous number of cats, he placarded tliviu with his advertisements aud turned them adrift in the streets. The result can not be said to have justified his expect ations. Instead of ffoinar into 9 O the homes of the town, the cats took to the back alleys, and the Humane Officer took the enter - prising advertiser before the Police Judge, who imposed a fine upon him in restraint of furiher like exhibitions of advertising genius, It is not by trick advertising the merchant invites the custom mer to an inspection and pur chase of his wares, but hy the newspaper that goes into the homes, giving the news of the day, as it should be given, omit- iug nothing that is news and coinuieutiug on the news in a spirit of fairness. Neither the public servant nor the dealer in goods that will not stand the test of public judgment likes the newspaper that goes into the home back alley advertising suits them better. But it is the advertising in the home news paper ihal brings together the La Grande now bas a foundry bnt the town must not stop looking for other industries. A soap factory, a broom factory, or any other kind of a factory which will give employment to one or a dozen men will be of advantage to La Grande. Every little helps.

It is also their privilege to do better. Where?

J. R. FORREST, Milliner La Grande is entering upon an era of great prosperity, and tbe citizens should be iu position to meet it half way. One of the ways to do this is to have better roads entering tbe city and better streets in the city. While the streets are being fixed up, tbe cross walks should come in for their share of attention. When the city has done its part toward repairing cross walks, it should then see to it that the property owners do their part by repairing the walks in front of their property. j a This city is starving for higb grade entertainment along the lines of a lecture course. Think of it, it has been nearly two years since there has been a lecture of this order delivered in this city. How often our pres ent modes of entertainment are criticised. This is the result of carelessness more than any thing else. We are all social creatpres and seek that class of entertainment that is provided. There is an opportunity for some one to lead, by way of direction to a higher plane of amusement, that not only amuses but edu cates the taste for something higher.
