We feel that the contest just closed

those who took the trips have return

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.
