A Letter From the Manager
TO THE PUBLIC
It is with pleasure I am able to announce to the
People of Union and Wallowa Counties that we have
the greatest advantage possible, over Fifty large
stores purchasing millions of dollars worth of mer
chandise in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana,
affording a purchasing power that no other concern '
can possibly have, thus getting the choicest
merchandise manufactured in this country, and: at ,
lixioea ihtti are far r exow the average Our counters
and shelves are groaning under the great loads of
new merchandise. It is with these advantages I ask -your
patronage. .
. Yours Resp.

Today the Observer printed hun
dreds of extra copies containing Its
usual telegraphic news service, which
by the way is the only telegraphic
service taken by any newspaper in
Union or Wallowa counties and by
special automobile sends over a
thousand copies to Union to be dis
tributed to the crowd at the big horse
show ' ' . :
This is said to be the first time any
newspaper In La Grande ever attempt
ed such an enterprise. And you will
notice the size of the paper today
is larger than usual, and larger than
most towns ' twice the size of La
Grande ever Issue. ,
It has taken a force of extra help,
enlarged expenses on all sides, ' au
tomobile hire and various other items
that cannot be enumerated.
; But the Observer gives the news of
the world and the local communities
while the news is news and today
Union county has a dally newspaper
that ranks with the high grade pa
pers of Oregon outside of Portland.
Is the effort appreciated?

and notice the live, wide-awake pro
gressive merchants' of La Grande.

played by subscribers to get the new i ,

000 and to recover about three million
acres of unsold land. The brief is
the principal discussion in : railroad
circles today. This Is'the'blggest suit
"ever filed In Oregon and will be a
bitter legal struggle.
The government contends that the
railroad flagrantly violated the con
ditions of the grant under which the
land was sold to settlers in quanti
ties not greater than quarter-sections,
and a price not exceeding $2.50 per
acre. The company admits, that much
of the land sold for $25 per acre but
contends that it is its own land to
be done with as it pleases, due to
the fact that patents have been Is
sued. The land He between Ashland
and Portland.
