In charge of this work, under the
supervision of the board of managers.
, win be R. C, Roherbacher, manager
of the publicity department of the
Pacific Monthly. Mr. Roherbacher
will be In La Orande in a few days to
outline his work and. from that time
on the work will be rushed with all
practical dispatch. The booklets will
be brim-full from cover to cover of
story pictures, photographs and splen
didly written descriptive articles. The
printing contract calls for something
elaborate In the way of workmanship
and will be works of art that will at
tract attention and command careful
reading, and produce the greatest re
sults possible. They are to be used
for advance descriptive matter,. and
will be sent out in answer to Inquiries
for Information relative to this sec
tion of eastern Oregon. The three,
leaf booklets wilt be uwu ior uu.

tribution.
After Senvun.
While the preliminary work Is going
on in the way of publishing the de
scriptive matter, the board of mana
gers will act on several applications
now In their hands, for a competent
boost manager. It Is the purpose of
the directors to have this manaaer
here, introduced to his environments,
and ready for work when the book
lets are off the press. The plausibility
of this movement Is apparent It
wouia oe useless to attempt any
scheme of advertising and not have at
ready command literature which the
Inquiries call for.
It can be seen from this that the
city Is soon to be In the grip of boost
ing. These many booklets will be
gotten out and in the meantime a
manager will be selected to conduct
publicity with these splendid books
as a medium. -

of the day.
The procession started on Its march
promptly at 11 o'clock, headed by the
La Grande band. Then came the old
veterans proudly waving aloft Old
Glory, followed by the ladles of the
W. It. C. and the float draped In the
Stars and Stripes bearing the it little
girls representing the states of the
union. The carriages brought un the
rear, bearing the floral tributes to the
departed brothers.
The procession consisted of about
100 people.
At the cemetery the floral tributes
were put In place, and after appropri

The Address of the Day.
Aside from the ritual performance
the speaker of the day, Attorney OiO.
Cochran, was the principal number
the program. His underlying
thoughts were "Inspirations of Memo-
lal Day." He touched upon the pret
ty spectacle presented In the morn-
mrs parade, when 41 little girls, sit
ing on a float symbolised the states
f the union. The speaker said In
part: .
The it little girls symbolized the
'act that patriotic love has healed the
wounds of the great struggle of the
dxtles, and cemented these United
states Into a grest nation. The cert,
-nonles of today Inspire thoughts of

uillze thoughts though the flowers
nay wither, yet tha thoughts make an
'mpression upon our lives and char-
icters that gives us peace and com-
'ort and contentment which cannot be

"The whole day of Decoration day

omrades, and this day has become a
Ivlng monument unto thon organlza-
lons that obncrve It. The flag which

OUGHT TO BE Tilt
IT
ol every citizen to so lite and act that his fel
low citizens ulll esteem him for his fcoodness,
his kindness, and his usefulness. The principles of
ood citizenship should constitute the coCe of rules
for every kind of business whether public or private.
This applies particularly to the drug business, be
cause, owing to the limited knowledge of the qualities
of drugs by the general public. It follows that the re
