DArlng the past few days this office has received 'numerous compliments on the manner In which the election was the only paper In eastern Oregon which attempted a tabulated state ment the day after election, and while Incomplete because of the non-arrival of the returns from two precincts, the table was completed the following day to the entire satisfaction of all who were anxious to know the result. The entire county vote was handled by precincts, Including the votes for state officers. While It Is said that self praise Is no praise. The Observer feels In a mood to speak of Its own work so splendidly done, and which was called to mind by the many encoml. urns heaped on It the past few days. Let us repeat: It was the only naoer in eastern Oregon which gave Its read ers the full tabulated statement of the results of the election.
