GOOD WORDS
When you meet a man that't blue
Th.er.'t o.ie thing that you should
dt-
Siap him on the back and tay:
' Belter luck another day I"
Cheer nim up and make him smile
Don't keep "knocking" all the while
QooH words ome amazing cheap;
Use them for they help a heap.
THE WATER QUESTION -
Assuming that the question to be sub
mitted to the voters, at the city election
March 1 2th., with' reference to the pur
chase of ths springs, up Mill canyon, will
be thoroughly considered and discussed,
the Observer will suggest that the water
committee of the council investigate and
nake an official statement at to the
amount of water the city it using.
We believe we are tafe in making the
assart.oryfhat there it no one who knowt
how much water it now required to sup
ply this city. It is an easy matter how
ever, have the city engineer measure the
city reservoir, then fill it. stop the pumps
for 24 or 48 hours and measure the
water used, within the given period. The
whole question will then be solved. The
council now knows the flow of the springs
during the last year, the dryest within
a period of twenty years. Now let the
required city supply be known and the
result will form a basis for intelligent
consideration. The quality of the water
of the springs cannot be questioned. The
cost is nominal. The only question it the
sufficiency of the supply and that is cer
tainly a matter easily ascertained.
Its the long pull, the strong pull and the
pull all together that brings things par
ticularly the pull all together.
You can neither help your friends nor
punish your enemies in the primary eleC'
tion unless you register.
Heavy snows throughout the mountain
ranges are reported from all sections of
Eastern Oregon. These great natural
reservoirs will do their part towards the
tuccess of bounteous crops for 1 906.
An effort it to be made to have the
county clerk open a registration office
down town. In order to secure a larger
registration if possible. If this can be
arranged it will make it much more cc
venient for the voters in the five La
Grande precinctt.
Proof it again offered that there
lit.le in a name. The name of the new
president of the Frence republic sounds
like failure (Falliers), but he hat known
nothing but tuccest tinea hit birth in
blacksmith's cottage among the humblest
and poorest of his countrymen.
With proper reverence to piintert ink,
big posters and enticing pictures at potent
agenciea in developing their country, it
would seem thai the people, who live in
and plan to continue thair residence in
the Walla Walla valley have concluded to
place greater reliance than heretofore in
substantial road making. This newly
aroused force is manifest from the fol
lowing telegram which says:
"When the county commissioners con
vene in February they will probably be
called upon to act on several petitions for
assistance in the building of macadamized
roads near Walla Walla. Comm'ssioner
NcCaw said today there would be at
least Gva such petitions. Among them
will be one from the retidants along the
road to Milton and Freewater, who, it it
said, will make a proposition to build a
macadam road from a certain point to the
state line, providing the county of Walla
Walla will build on into this city. .This
would be a great convenience to the peti
tioners and benefit Walla' Walla. .
