' Baker City has Just completed the foundation for a $35,000 , building which Mr. Carnegie wil? jay for. The stipula tion for this donation being annual charge for maintenance which the city must provide for. In Baker City this amount is $2500, but this amount umicremnd, u cut down several liundrcd dollars by having the pres ent district state library tax diverted to this , fund. This same arrange ment could be secured here, doubt less. We csn build cheaper here than In Raker City, and this proposition nhould appeal to several classes of our people which, if merged properly, would result in La Grande not only having a fine building which we would a'1 be proud of, but a library for all time to come. Think it over, and let ome interested In the matter write Mr. Carnegie and ascertain definitely Just what his conditlonu are. ." Tfrnat root , many, law breakers thinks that he is just a little smarter tha'n the other fellow. 1 But they all et caught. . It Is quite evident that there are a number of bootleggers in this county who will have to serve Jul) sentences before they let go. They .will all get caught. We have offlecrs who will enforce ths law. Theue people never keep up-wlth the times. They act like they were living 10' or more years ago 'when It was not popular to Anf Apa tVia HnMnn Iran PKInDa ra different now. It Is decidedly popu lar these days, and before they cease their law-breaking they will have cause to think that the officials of this city end county are the most pop ular fellows In the stale. fc.a-ly "have most itlithtful weatner tie latter part of Strrber, and all through Octobtr, and we have a rSsit to xpeet it this year. . . A man wfea will deliberately offer JG-year-ulu toy ;5iUor, should not be too leniently dealt with. This man McDowell has not only served time In the penitentiary, but has been a con stant violator of the law for many years. ' . .' ' . . . ' , ) ' . '. These are the morning when we be gin to think of our wood piles: That Is, those who are not supplied. A re view of the city, however, will note that a great many are supplied, possi bly more than usual at this season of the year. " . Governor Hughes ras nominated on the' first ballot.: The ".' opposition tried tn vain to secure someone with ability to become a candidate,' but It was s useless. The people wanleu Hughes tto serve another, term and they -will have him. V ; -s- If the socialists sent out more speakers of the type of Mr. Stokes. who spoke on the street last evening, we predict that their cause would re ceive more attention, than such as held a series of meetings here a few weeks ago. .-:.. -; Some counties of the state are do ing their advertising at Portland. Seattle and Spokane. Knowing that about 99 per cent of 11 the home seekers buy their tickets. to these ter minals. The Idea 13 not a bad one. In tonight's paper will be found the call for our special election to vote on the proposed new chatter. The char ter to be voted upon Is now being set In the Observer office, and will be published in full within a few days. '. - There Is little doubt but what' If there had not have been ample police force when the rush at the land of fice took place yesterday morning, there would have been serious trou ble.' . " ' .

By working It right we might make 1909 a building season, A federal building, a library building and a high school building are all among the potabilities;, ' A Carnegie library building would be a fitting improvement along with a federal building. . .'
