OUR FTBI.IC M1IOOU
The fact thnt during the past few
i'.Ul l.'ween 80 and 40 students have
ic:--trri to their hornet . 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

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"

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. " '

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.

: 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.

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. Nothing critical seems to
be the matter with them. They are
, just nair-sicK most of the time. Thnr
don't knowreally what Is the matter

was. One said nervousness, another

trouble, or lung trouble. Manv hd
treated, as they called It, for most of
"eaes at oirrerent times. A
very common complaint is 'nil run
down.' or tired all the time,' or -no
appetite."' '
"I Know positively that every bit of
this chronic ill health Is caused by
stomach trouble, and nothing else. My

the subject: . " I
"I have sufferea with etomachja 1

enough to be ln bed, but Just felt bad -all
the time. My greatest trouble was. '
that I always felt tired, would get uj
in the morning feeling ag tired ax '
when I went to bed, .
VI had a very irregular appetite, an
was troubled with dlzsy spells. If I
stood for any length of time, I would
have a dull pain in the lower part ot
my back. I was nervous and felt all
the time as though something terrible
was going to happen. I tried manjr
kinds ot medicine, but nothing ever
helped me. ' ,k
"I had about given up all bops of
ever being ln good health again, whets
I heard so much of Cooper and de
elded to try his medicine. I took on
bottle of his New Discovery and wa
greatly surprised at the result t
gained 12 pounds In a few weeks.. T
ran now eat anything I wish, and feel
