ERRORS THAT A XEWSPAPEB REGRETS.
In the course of the hustle and bus
tie that attaches to Issuing a daily
newspaper occasionally an error will
creep in, which when noticed later,
causes sincere regret on tha part of
the publisher and everyone connected
with the paper, besides . bringing
heartaches to some patrons
This statement Is prompted by an
trror that occured In the Evening Ob
server when the death of Miss Ida
Sill, of Cove, was reported. She was
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James
Sill, one of the most highly respected
families of Cove and the young lady
was one of those estimable girls about
i whom nothing but the purest utter.,
ancea could have been correctly made.
from beginning to end, and the work
of making a newspaper is no excep.j
tion to the rule. This; however, can
be depended upon when the Obser-
ver learns of an error, whither seri-J
ous as this one or whether "it Is of
small moment, we are anxious to make
proper correction, for this newspaper
endeavors to deal squarely and hon
orably with everyone. -
CMOS GETS THE HOJiORS.
La Grande had begun to believe it
had a. baseball team that it was im.
possible to defeat. But like the fast
est race horse and the latest automo
bile, It tasted the bitter dregs yeser
day when Union's stalwart sons ap
peared on their home' diamond and
cleaned up the La Grande bunch with
a beastly score. The boys from here
were In the air from the time the
game was call:d and never reached
earth until the ninth Inning. It was
one, two, three and out with La
Grande and scoreafter score for Un
ion. .
The lesson is a good one, and if this
team is to be beaten wj would rather
see either Elgin or Union beat It than
outside of the county teams. It will
teach our boys that there is such a
thing as too much confidence and that
a good record is only to be maintalnel
.and protected by constant practice and
continually playing the game - first
last and all of the time. There is no
euch a thing as laying off in playing
baseball, no more than there is in
contained unintentional error suffl-' Meve the La Grande team will not get
cient to leave a wrong Impression of j busy and show even greater earnest-
the deceased a thing for which the,ness in theJr work than before
sincereet regret was forthcoming Im
mediately. ' ..
Nothing could be farther' from th
intent of those connected with the 6b-
server than, to do anyone a wrong, and

In his address before the graduates
of La Grande high school the state su
perintendent struck a keynote when
he said: : "We appreciate tha fine
school bulldlngB, the money raised by
taxes and all material things given to
the schools, but we must draw on ev

This is correct and the right attl

The most Important charges agains;
Uncle Sam as they app'ar In an arti
cle in Pearson's Magazine have to do
with the subject of railway mail. pay..
In this connection the carriers chargei
that the methods of the government
are such as to cause them a loss oi
$20,000,000 a year. The really signifi
cant phase of this situation Is that the
railroads merely ask Uncle Sam tr
take his own medicine that is. h
pay for exactly similar servlc.thc
same rates which through the inter,
state commerce commission h au
thorizes the railroads to charge to
the traveling public. At present, ac
cording to th Pearson's article, it is
charged that the government fails to
do so by about one-third. Of ctuirse
the complaint is not new s'nee th?
railroads have taken their claims to
congress In the past and been tol.l
that th:y had merit after which notlu
ing happened In the way of nlief.
Now that the Strain of the lout-awaited
supreme court decision is tempor
arily passed, and New York is able to
think of gomething el&:, the id-a tha:
the railroads might actually haa
some ground of complaint against the
government along the lines set forth
In the article Is one which is lik.-b
to cause much discussion.

An ordinance establishing rules in

nance No. 34C, Series 1906, whereby
buildings may b-. moved upon; over
and across streets upon which pave

The city of La Grande does ordain
as follows:
Suction 1. No building shall bi
moved along streets upon which pave,
ment has be;n laid, except In, cases
where the expense of moving the
same on other streets is so excessive
as to practically prohibit the rtmoval
of the building, and shall not be re
moved at all without permit required
by ordinance No. 346. Series 19Q6.'
Section 2. When any building has

building shall not set the capstan.

cul of settling such differences Is un.
doubtedly due In a large part to the
Ti spread of belief In the regulation of
'public utilities, even on the part of
public utility corporation officials

to be the logical conclusion for th?
reason that the man chiefly respon-
slinll be driven through the pavement

of two fe.t.
Section 3. After the capstan,

moved from the point where said pins
are driven, the pins shall likewise be
removed and the holes caused there.
