SPECIAL EDITION
For a city or section to grow with a
maxima speed, it is as necessary to give
d'J9 p'jhltc1'? lrtrl ri4nttmf4. advant
ages and conditions, as it is for a mer
chant to advertise his goods in order to
increase the volume of his sales.
The Evening Observer has long con
templated publication of an illustrated
edition that' will in pictures and story
properly present the resources and ad
vantages of La Grande and Grande
Ronde valley territory.
The facts and figures that will he of
interest to prospective investors and
homeseekers are now being gathered and
photographs will be secured that will
convincingly back up the statements made
in type.
The circulation abroad will place in the
hands of thousands of desirable new
citizens, all the necessary information in
regard to this city and section. Such
an edition is certain to be of the great
est community value, and it deserves the
hearty support of everyone interested in
local growth and development, Tnose
receiving copies will have their attention
centered on the possibilities open to them
here, and the resultant acquisition4 of
desirable new citizens will much more
than justi y the necessarily (navy expanse
of producing a creditable edition.
During the entire history of La Grande,
no such complete and meritorious special
issue of any paper has been attempted,
and the Observer desires to emphasize
the fact that its forthcoming edition will
be in every way worthy of a hearty and
unanimous community support.
The services of two experienced news
paper men, Messrs. Lyons and Hurd
have been secured, and the Observer
asks for them a courteous and consider
ate hearing on the part of those inter
viewed.
Let's all pull together for the progress
and development of this favored valley.
It seems to be almost a foregone con
clusion that another year will slip by and
La Grande will have no sewer system.
Yes we must have an improved water
supply and a sewer system, but a ppar
ently no effort is being made to secure
them.
The revenues the fruit growers are
receiving and w.ll receive for their crops
this year will be in excess of any previous
year by many thousands of dollars.
Cement walks should at least be ex
tended on Jefferson Avenue and the
business portions of Fir street this year.
Within the next sixty days, La Grande
will have a new city jail. A city should
be made to pay damages for each and
every incarceration in such an unsanitary
vermin ridden bastile, used for the past
number of years.
TOOK A WHCtlBARROW-

Judging by the reports that come from
aproad, those who have a good wheat
crop have a valuable asset. Russia
wants her own crop, if her peasants are
to be fed properly. This, of course, does
not mean that she will not export wheat.
tl:. .. 'i, l - .
1 ins win oe aone, though the peasants
are on short supplies. It is unfortunate
that the methods are not better for grow
ing wheat in the northwest. With good
yields and good prices, the growers
would make excellent returns. These
nowever, during recent years, have been
reserved for Canada rather than for the
normwescern states, because of the
large yields obtained over there. Surely
the methods will be so improved in this
northwest in the near future, that the
yields will be increased. This should be
tne aim of every grower of wheat.
