cotics, 6omemade to do what should be done in
order to properly cure coughs.
NEWLIN'S

cure as quickly as . those which are loaded with
narcotics, but it cures quick enough; the cure is
certain and when you are cured the cause is re-

Editor Observer;
The first real meeting will be called
this week to organize the Inland Km-
ilie four-club league. Invitation!1
will be sent to the following towns ti
meet In Pendleton: lioixo. Caldwell.
Wclser, Palter City, La Grande, Pen
h-tun and Wulhi Walla. Abose al
hlngs ll la to be hoped that La Grand.
-.Ill secure a fi-unchlsu and allow tie
nbllc of tills lty the liberty of i
Ittle recreation this summer. In wit
nessing some good, first-class, clean
baseball. Here Is a little question 1
would like to ask of all and I think
after you stop and give this little
Itiestlon Its due consideration, there
are none who will fall to agree with
ine. Would It not be awful lonesome
and enough to give the public of La
Orande the blues to see excursion
running up and down through this city
and see all the towns on the line en
Joying nice, clean baseball and not a
thing, doing here, but hunt a shady,
cool spot and endeavor to fight the
severe summer heat? No recreation
of any kind. Why would It not be fai
better for the public of this city tq b.
able to enjoy themselves here a
home. Have excursions .running It
here to l.a Grande on Sundays am
holidays, and keep the people here a
;iome and allow them recreation. Fur
thermore, as an advertising medium
there anything more prominent li
the world that will advertise your city
nore, (excepting newspapers) thai
'.his proposition?
Now let us speak of the cost. Thl-
vertisln standpoint, most all the
larger paper In the ' United State
publish the score and standing of
professional teams. In all my expert-1
ence I have- always found a crowd or
professional baseball player to be
gentlemanly In every respect Now,
let the public of thl city get together
and consider this question. I have
traveled from coast to coast and I have
never met a more friendly crowd of
people, or a better little town with
the chance of future development than
this. I do not speak for myself under
any consideration. I have been asked
by many, "Would I stay In La Grande,
manage and play with the "dub?" 1
vowed I would. So, 60 days ago 1
set to work and secured 25 ball play
ers' terms and their signatures to
contracts. Of course, from these men
I will select the ten who will repre
sent the club I will manage. Fur
thermore, I will state, should t take
the La Grande club and fall to win
the pennant or second place. I will
donate my salary to any charitable In
stltutlon In the state, or divide It
equally among all the churches. I
have also been asked to take the
Walla Walla and Pendleton clubs.
Furthermore, as far as I am concern
ed, whether or not the states of Washi
ngton, Oregon or Idaho ever see base-
iall. I will play professional baseball
he same in 1908 as I have done since
1897, but t truly hope and trust I will
be In La Grande in 1908, and furnish
baseball for the public. Bo, trusting
all will agree wan me ana help boost
the situation which I have done for
the past three months, working day
and night, and hoping La Grande wll'
e fortunate enough to secure a fran
chise In the Inland Empire league for
1908, I beg- to remain,
Yours sincerely,
JACK O'BRIEN.
