We have always contended that one of the greatest things possible to do tor the younfc folks would be to prepare ex cursion parties so that the 'youn might Bee and understand more of their country. If it were in our power we would make It a part of the public school system to run an annual ex cursion taking the pupils to localities of interest, where, with a good guide, they would be told the country's" his tory and the history of each individual tninlU. TmnraMlnm thll mined r lasting and never can be obliterated, whereas the mere reading of history and events fails to create the lasting Impression. We feel that the contest just closed has resulted In great good to all who took part in It. , Those who preferred music were given that choice, and those who took the trips have return ed safe' and sound without accident and full of new ideas and thoughts that will be with them forever. '. s; The Evening Observer welcomes the girls. We are glad you took the trip; we are glad to have you back, and In the future we want each of the younx ladies to feel that the Observer Is ber personal friend under any and all cir cumstances, for such is a fact. . BRINGING THE MATTER HOME. The George Palmer Lumber cora- ( pany has adopted a little slogan which isUBed on checks paid out by that concern, which strikes the Evening Cbserver as being the proper thing. In colored Ink this Is printed on ev ery check, "You get this money be cause Oregon has timber. Promote forest protectkl and share the gain." The first sentence is a sermon witlli in Itself, calling to mind the stern fact that if Oregon did not have timber there would be no Palmer mill In La Grande, there would be no Grande Ronde Lumber company mill at Perry and there would be none of the CO smaller mills In the county. Without this resource the circulating medium of this county would be impaired seri ously, La Grande would .without the lumber manufactories' pay rolls, feel deeply the deficit. ! After settling this point In your mind, and It must be settled the way we have put it if sane judgment is used, then the Important feature to all lumbering concerns Is presented "Promote forest protection and share the gain." This is a thing that should follow- without mention, but in order to have every citizen a protector of the forests It 1b well to' repeat often the slogan used on the George Palmer Lumber company's checks. ' In other words we have the greac est resource known as a money pro- ' ducer, then take care of It.
