! BETTER PAPER FOR
I LESS . . . .
-
Rightly or wrongly we unconsciously judge people
by appearances, and that is one reason why you
should use good paper for correspondence.
Good taste in the matter of stationery is indica
tive of refinement, and you cannot choose amiss
when you buy here. It's not necessary either to
pay the high prices commonly asked. We have
a nice line of box papers at 10 to 60c per box.
n good vuanlj by the pzur.i -sr. ecwniml way
to buy 25 cents. Ruled or plain linen papers
15 cents per quire. We have a very attractive
line of tablet papers from 5 cents up to 35 cents,
the latter a tablet of fine correspondence paper
with envelopes to match.
Always glad to show these things.

It Is a little over six weeks until
the annaul city election take place.
In addition to a mayor, recorder,
chief of police and treasurer, there
will be four couneilmen to elect, one
from each of the four wards. The
retiring couneilmen are S. N. Bolton
from the First ward, and C. 8. Dunn
from the Third. For some time
there have been two vacancies In the
council, caused by the death of J. M.
McChII of the Second ward, and the
resignation of G. E. Fowler In the
Fourth. The hold-over couneilmen

I Meyers and J. T. Williamson.
Quite a number of the former up
portecs of Mayor Richardson have
requested him to stand for re-election
and when he . was Interviewed today
by an Observer representative, he
stated that If his administration had
been so conducted as to warrant the
support of those ' who favored his
election last year, he would consent
to become a candidate.
J. XV. Walden will be a candidate
for marshal, and it Is stated that
Deputy Marshal John Pepper may al
so enter the race.
I. R. Snook, in all probability, will
be a candidate for re-election for city
recorder, and if J. K. Wright desires
to succeed himself as treasurer. It Is
quite probable that he will have no
opposition. For couneilmen It Is 'a
little early yet for announcements, but
It Is quite probable that Councilman
Dunn and Bolton will be returned
from their respective wards, If they
so desire.
The elimination of the proposed
new charter will remove that as an
Issue, consequently at this time one
it the old-time redhot campaigns Is
not expected, but one can never tell
what a La Grande city election may
develop. As this Is the first general election
wherein voters have been required to
register, much time and annoyance
will be saved. If the voters stepping
Into the recorders office and register
ing before the books are closed, which
will bo on April 24.
SEATTLE EXPOSITION
BLACKLISTED BY UNIONS
Seattle, Wash., Jan. 24. Members
of labor unions everywhere are
warned by the labor bodies of Seattle
and Washington to stay away from
the Alaaka-Yukon-Paclflc exposition,
and have placed that gigantic project
on the "unfair" or "we don't patron
ize" list. This action has been taken
as a result of the employment of non
union labor Irt the construction work
now in progress on the exposition
site. The directors of the exposition
company have refused to alter their
policy in regard to the "open shop,"
and as a result the labor union boy
cott, will likely continue and organ
ized labor will have no representation
at the exposition.

Oklahoma, although the youngest of
states. Is not deficient In learning and
literature Is evidenced hy the number
of books that have been Issued from
the press of Intc by Oklahoma auth
ors. Thousands of pounds of litera
ture have been produced In the last
few months and the output promises
In time to eipial that of Indiana. The
latest production of an Okluhoma sa-
-nyoralnl Work Of B TC-
Clunis and Crabs.
And fresh fish at the La
Vrilll is a
llitlous nature entitled "God Is," from
the scholarly pen of F. W. Jacobs. f
The work has created a sensatlop
among local literary critics and t
fierce controversy Is raging as a re
sult of its publication. The conclu
sions of the author are summed up In
the final paragraph of the brochure,
which Is as follows:
"Through the syzygy we have out
lined here, relative environment can
not be thought of as defeating affin
ity In the absolute. We conclude that
God Is and that immortality Is a fact
and that the syzygy of abiding places
Is open to view."
The principal difference of oplnl(Tvj
among the critics Is. as to the "syzy
gy." some declaring that It Is a wild
animal, while other Insist that It Is
a new "prohibition" drink. Consider
able alarm Is also felt at the author's
bank, use of the word "affinity." the oldest
citizens declaring that there has never
j been a case of affinity here and that
such an Implication is a reflection on .
