' " ' That this ahould be a distinct com munity la evevy respect la apparent when one realises that there la to city closer than 300 miles away. By that we mean that La Grande must have every convenience that la to day considered necessary. Her mer chants have seen the need of larger undertakings and there are some ve- upon all tbatwe have come to La ry heavy stocks of goods carried ahould exert ourselves to make tLm , pay rolf town" is the proper slogan. Grande for the purpose of assisting in building this community by mak ing for it a live newspaper. To do this we must have the co operation and support of 'everyone who wants to see the Grande Rondj valley advance. Should thsre bi those who have nothing hut com plaints about the country' ' the ' Ob server will never , be able to get along with them, but chances are they are few in numbers.1 There Is every reason why Union aid Wallowa counties' ahould have ax 'least one dally newspaper taking a telegraphic news' report each' day. The Observer is that paper, end from the way It has been received slnco the new management took hold we are firmly convinced that the people here. : : V: '' If La Grande was located like Sa lem, or Eugene or Corvallls, large stocks of goods would not be so nec essary for there would be a, great deal of buying done in Portland,' de spite anything the local merchant might do.', But here It Is different No one could afford to make a trip to Portland to 'buy bill of goods, especially when the' local merchants Ihrow out such price lists as appear In today's Observer snowing the' peo ple that goods In La Grande are sold In many Instances considerably cheap er than Portland firms sell the same articles." "r !; -'. f; ; ; :; 'To be a distinct community-nocv lns should be overlooked for the wel fare of the'people who stop In this comfortable. The surrounding towns close'' by are our neighbors. No rivalry ex ists and there should be none. The Grande Ronde family of towns de pend 'on the aame resources for Ihe'r future. To cripple one would 'crip ple' all, and La Grande people ue ever ready to extend to any of the neighboring towns and courtesy that will help along.. ' ' - Satisfied to be the center of this . f L entire district. La Grande realties that the building of any of the smal ler towns, . the addition of even a dozen or more people either to thi valley or Wallowa county means ' a great deal to all concerned. "THE PAT BOLL T0W3P; , The Observer arises to remark that La Grande needs a slogan. Who would know Ivory soap if it had not been attached to ' the ' phrase, "It floats T The Packard car has . ask the man that owns one" Tacoma has "Watch Tacoma grow,1 and there are many others. But La Grande needs a' ihrase of her own. T ," ' ' ' '' ' .. . T ts'e have.been" thinking of ' this There is no claim to' originality In this phrase for other cities' may also use it, but surely the towns are so few la ' Oregon that - could possibly use It La Grande would be abund antly safe in filing on the phrase. : if anyone else ; haf a better one let him come forward. No, one should be too timid to talk for this is an experience meeting and La Grande is now working under the head of "good of the order" and is open , to any suggestion of benefit . ; . Let the ' commercial club take thjs under advisement if it will,' and af ter 'deliberation adopt . some slogan that will have "the right ring to It. Then each ' Individual can" wear a button carrying the little phrased AH stationery, all shipments and in fact everything that passes through this city can have a Bticker with the slo gan ; carrying ' La Grande's message to the outside world. , ' .' j Ketlce cf Sale of State Lands. .;' Notice is ' hereby . given . that the State Land Board will receive sealed bids until 11:00, o'clock a. m.
