In Unnii coiiuty, sii'iiiM bp sufficient to receive no small consideration by the taxpay ers and business Interests ol ia , Orando. With tha exception of a small per centitgo of these students who are pre paring themselves especially for teach ers, there should be no excuse for any of them going to Weston. The Wes ton Normal tenches nothing higher than Is taught in several of the high schools of this county, those which In clude the 12th grade. A little further Investigation will also reveul the fact ,thot there are nearly as many more students from t'nlon county who at tend the State AKi'lcultural college at (.oivnuis mat could remain In ou high schools two or three years more than they are now doing. The Ob server fnr4 some-: time have seen the necessity of La Orando 'raising her public school td a higher standard, We take this position that we have no reason under present conditions to ex- - pect to obtain any higher schools of learning In this county than our high schools. This being true, It is expect ed and Incumbent upon La Grande to provide the best high school In the county. Our large population gives us prestige In commercial, political and social crlcles, and we should lead along educational lines. The public schools In La Grande should be main tained to that high standard that our farmers In large numbers would come to our city In order to secure our ex ceptional school facilities. That when the time comes to them that they must seek better school facilities than their country districts afford or can afford, thnt Intuitively they would turn to Ln Grande. This condition exists In near ly all of our larger cities of the stale, Baker Oily. Pendleton. Astoria nnd ethers could easily be cited. The public schools In the above cities Just named are very little su perior to nur public school, and that Is the Very reason why we are making this appeal and similar appeals In the past. We have a splendid public school In La Grande; we know It. and In our opinion mai ivun Just a little more ex pond It u re of mone the I.a . Onin.li public sc hool could he placed to non- of imy city In our rlapn facts tre, our school In dolmr se old .The much better work than many reallre the product! Is ht tells. Ask the pn s . Ident of the Siiiie tiniveislty at Salem now the students of mi public school stnnd: but from a La Grande stand point, w'hnt are we offering In' way of upr-!otjlty over several other high schools ( In the county, and wben we are subject to comparison wlijh other cities of our rlas, we are considered .abort, t'ul while we are short we ore so little short that we should step Into" line, nnd we ran do so easily. Two thousand dollars, or possibly less, would immediately give us the equip irtenL Vocal music should be taut-lit' In our schools. Those who have ex prirnte In training our children for . I'ubllc occasions Immediately' realise that our children do not sing as well . as those cities where music Is taught - In the public schools.. A music teacher could be, secured for something less than 11.000; possibly less than one ttalf of this amount by securing a teacher who was competent In music, gener! where districts are not able ' " ' ' nually appropriated for the mainte nance of a laboratory, what an Influ ence would spread out all over this valley by the students,, and with a few dollars on the athletic fields, none of the cities named above could boast ot enjoying better school advantages than La Grande. Were we not so near their proficiency It might be consid ered out of our reach, but Just a lit tle Investigation svlll demonstrate that our public school could start In next September fully abreast With thye best of them, and the Investment required to do this Is so -small In comparison with the results that the expense Is not worthy of consideration.. Union county needs tho best high school that is possible to vbtaln, and to do this will some day wake up to the necessity of obtaining a county high school. , We believe 1f steps were taken this fall, the voters at the November elec tion would sanction it by a large ma jority. Here Is an opiw;u.t; Commercial club' of this city te Inves tigate. We are spending a large amount of money trying to secure ad ditional population, and one of the first questions asked by the heads of families, How about your school fa cilities? La Grande can Improve her public school, but a county high school would naturally provide ' a school where every student - In the - county would have free access, and would be of a higher standard than any single district could expect to maintain. This Is a matter that Is worthy of consid eration. " ' . . ee KNAP KF.KKKRS. Real estate1 men report a considera ble number of prospective buyers dur ing the past week, but many of them seem to be under the Impression thai prices In this valley have dropped so far thai the best properties can be bought fpr llttlo or nothing. One man yesterday complained at the price asked for a piece of orchard land, when in all probability this year's crop will net more per acre thun the price asked. Let us hope thnt the Im pression that we are bankrupt .will not gain very general credence among the homn-deslring thousands of the middle west. We need tHUens who are willing to pay for a homo somo thing like Its true value. so : Urged lor School Director. It is urged by the friends of Mr. Ivanhoe that he should succeed him self on the school board. It Is claimed by his friends that he has been closely Identified with the schools of the city since prior to the time the big brick was completed, and during his time, the schools have grown from an em ployment of 12 teachers, to a present teaching force of 25. In every respect he has made good, and the school Is now free from all fnctlonal or local interests that might be accused of de siring to use the public schools for business or personal ends, and It Is claimed that the election of Mr. Ivan hoe would k'.-ep them so. If Mr. Ivan hoe has ever had any policy, It has been to give the schools all ho possi bly could with the funds at the dis posal of the district, and prevent sen sation or contentions that would or could prevent good results.

BW DO HOT KNOW WHAT CAUSES SICKNESS Modern People Have Many Names for Same Diseases, According to New Belief. , ' Does human health depend on one organ alono? This question is becom ing, widely discussed since L. T. Cooper first advanced bis theory that the stomach Is tha true seat o( life and all health dependent upon it. Mr. Cooper, who has met with re markable success in the sala of his new medicine, believes that tho stom ach Is responsible for most sickness, ana tnat this organ is weak ln the present generation. While discussing this theory recently, he said: "I am asiced time and again to tell why my medicine has made such a record ' wherever 1 have Introduced It ily answer always la, 'because It restores the stomach to a normal condition.1 No one will deny that today there are more half-sick men end women than ever before.
