WHO SHALL BE 05 THE SCHOOL
BOARD!
It l but a few days until La Grande
will be called upon to a-lect a mem
ber of the school board which by the
war, Is a decidedly Important office In
a city like La Grande. Fortunately
this community has a good board now
and the desire should.be In everyone's
mind to keep a good one. If some pne
should be elected who "antl" to every
Improvement and advancement he
could make a great deal of trouble and
block the school's progress, but we
take 'it for granted that this commun
ity will evercise due care to prevent
such jan occurrence.
The Observer haa no candidate and
la boosting for. no' one In particular,
It la understood there Is to be . a, peti
tion circulated shortly requesting Dr.
Xiacon to permit his name to be used
for the. office.; -ThBrje' could be no ob

Such fires as the Suydam fire recent
ly only" serve, to Impress upon the
minds of La Grande people the absolute-
necessity of a better fire fighting
apparatus and a paid fire department.
We have gotten completely past the
: volunteer stage; we have reached a
point when property is not safe with
out some on & who Is paid for con
stant vigilance In the way of protec
tion and without proper .equipment to
fight a fire
I It would be all right to retain a vol-
. unteer system In conjunction with the
paid department, but by all means have
la paid department and a thoroughly
I Improved equipment. Such will be
. economy insuring safety and a mater
ial reduction In Insurance rates.

Paul Gilmore, who has many friends
in La Grand?, is as a bashful school
girl when he makes a curtain talk.
Last night he thanked the audience In
a nice manner, but he was not thor
oughly at ease. Yet In his lints he Is
as,s:lf-possessed as any actor on the
stage today. ; Gilmore has an Individ
uality mat is very ; pleasing, even
though his play last night was unnat
ural. We like to hear Gilmore but
we do not believe he will tver be a cur
tain talker like Francis Wilson.

Portland is going to draft Mayor Si

Kavanaugh waa born without arms
or legs be was. In fact, a mere trunk
of a man! And yet he performed a
feat from which most men with their
full complement of , members might
well have shrunk.
Strapped on to his saddle, he was
one of the most skillful and .daring
riders to bounds In all Ireland. On
one occasion, it Is said, "the saddle
turned under him, and the horse trot
ted back to the stable yard with bis
master banging under him. his hair
sweeping the ground, bleeding pro
fusely, ne merely cursed the groom
with emphatic volubility, had himself
more safely readjusted and rode out
once more." 1

Some say: "Not Much." Some Say: "A Lot."
We say it depends entirely upon what it
represents. .
In the case of V. (. WEST'S, The
Quality Store, , it represents years of con
scientious merchandising and safe values,
coupled with true service and perfect satisfaction.

The musk is used in the cheap per

the use of cheap perf.ui:es do not
know of what they are compounded'
