Th- Observer stands willing and ready to :r6ve this statement. C A HAIRY REVOLUTION. PEOPLE ARE INVESTIGATING. Home people who are earning more than their living' and, who are looking for small Investments have begun to Investigate the offerings nearby. Th saneneas and reasoning has taken hold of the community and we believe that a Laurelhurst or Kenton salesman "would now have a hard tira? Interest ing La Grande money, whereas a few weeks ago this city was looked upon as easy prey .for the "fly-by-night" agent. Today It la some different, for the Investor Is asking,, "what r:turns am I to set on my money? Am I to wait until a quarter century elapses before the .town lot in Portland is within reasonable distance of settle ment so that I can turn my property? These Questions when , rightly put -are what queers the agent Most of the smooth sharks would rather sell lots from a blue print than to show their customers the real estate tn all its physical appearand, for Jrcquoiuy mere are ditches, hills and brush piles which do not look good to the eye, whereas the blue print eliminates all of them and only show the good. Look at the pictures being run In the newspapers of some of the additions. Very pretty to look at but go and see the property. You will be disappoint ed, and you will be nior? disappointed If you hate invested a few hundred dollars and cannot get loose. The Grande Ronde fruit lands lie If every American man should sud denly take to the 'Scottish kilt' and bare legs, it would be no more of ar innovation, nor mean nearly, so much as docs the present queue cutting In Chlna where 40,000 queues were cut off in Hong Kong alone in December, , while there were hair cutting festivals in many of the large coast cities and such outlying placs as anlla, Singa pore and other cities of the Straits settlements, says The National Guard Magazine for March. It must be remembered that vas China is ruled by a handful of Man- ; chus who conquered the land four cen ' turies ago and as a mark of subjec tion compelled hi men to wear the "pig tail" while the women were ob liged to bind their feet. I This also prevented the movement ' of families, as the wom:n could not hobble far, while the braid of hair was easy to graso and several prisoners could be tied together. , - In time these marks of subjection became the most hlehly 'ssrc2 iiu biems of loyalty. But today the cry is "China for the Chinese" and maybe the ManchuB day has set Starting with the radicals of the New China party, the docking of the queue was urged by them as th 3 visi ble and necessary sign of an accept ance of new ideas. Patriotism demand ed that the Chinaman should rid him self of all the customs of the dark ages Bald th: reformers, and there was no better evidence of emancipation from conservatism than the absence of th Complete EquipmentltorlResetting arm kepziring Rubber Buggy Tires LA GRANDE IRON WORKS V D.

It was mot more than three years ago that tie New China party started the queueless crusade and so rapidly has the fovement spread that before the end of last year a riscript from the dragan throne Itself advised the wholesale cutting of the hair and the lew, half organized Tzucbeng Yuan it national parliament, passed a meae ire commanding the removal of al queues. This cbang: is all the more slgnifi cant in that it came from Chinese In spiration and not through foreign sug gestion. Thirty and more years ago the foreign missionaries in China at tempted to make headway against the practice of foot bind and their sug gested innovation was at first bitterly resented. It was not until within the last ten or fifteen years that anti-foot binding societies composed of Chines' made any great headway against the vil and now the reform is by n' means general. seoment, wnen a bearing will be granted to any person feeling ag grieved by such assessment' - La Grande, Oregon, March 20th, 1911. - v - CITY COUNCIL OF LA GRANDE, OREGON.

The whole country was shocked Sat urday evening when the Even ng Ob server and other evening papers an nounced a fiarful ifire In New York city where over a hundred young girls lost their lives. Strange as It may seem in the metropolis of this nation, the building was too high to be reach ed by life saving devicis. Most peopi-- believe that fire protection is looked after more closely than that. Few can realize that nrmior. v.'cull 1 granted to build a building so h'g'.i that Art men, trained in their work could not reach the top from the ground In order to save human life. Vet such Is the case, Thousands of people gaihered around the burning structure and saw young women in the prime of life burned to death. Not one, but over one. hundred of them. Their dead bodies choked the eleva tor shaft and the street was piled with dead bodi;s, much like the yeoman piles his cordwood. It is all tco hor rible to contemplate: Can it be that in the mud rush for the dollar at this day and age that safety of life is so little thought of? Can it be that poor girls who are forced to work in cities are not only to undergo th;- agony that heavy con stant toil brings, but that they must also be subjected to vdeat1i in order, to earn their living? It would seem that Instead .of th's grandstanding political reform and other limelight reforms now in progress that some good phil anthropist should take more Interest In the factory situation.
