WHAT THE KINETOPHONE MEANS. If the kinetophone had been invent ed in the days of Shakespeare we of today might see the bard of Avon step to the front of a London stage and hear his own voice reciting the prologue of one of his pluya. Those studying the history of the drama might refer to the film which had pre served the manner and the speech of the great Garrick as they now refer to the contemporary literary accounts f this famous actor; the "immortal" Siddons would have more than a book laim to immortality, for this favor ite English actress of a bygone day could be judged and compared on the merits of her work and not merely on what the writers of the timo said about her. Coming more down to date we might have on the film the famous Maggie Mitchell and Char lotte Cushman of our own land; those of us lucky enough to have seen Jo seph Jefferson and Sir Henry Irving . would have more than mere wordy description to hand down to the gen eration to whom these names are rapidly come to have little but a his toric significance. If the kinetopohone had been in vented within the last century we might today see Lincoln's face and hear his . voice as he delivered the Gettysburg speech. We might review with eyes and ears aa well as minds the eloquence that made Daniel Web- ater and Henry Clay famous. In short we might have unrolled before ' os alt the great personalities and the great events ya the drama of history. The kinetopohone was Invented but a short tine ago. The machine it self, wonderful as it is, may prove disappointing to ai public satiated with wonders and demanding the cli max of perfection even from first ef forts. But the mind that is alive to the inner significance of things can hardly fail to pauRe with something like awe when it realizes what it will mean in the future. ADVICE FOR YOUNG COUPLES. The great mistake most frequently nu.de by young couples about to be gin housekeeping is buying a vast quantity of household goods cheap in price and poor in quality the result of an ambition to start with "every thing." . The making of a comfortable and permanent home is a more serious matter and a slower process. You are buying not for a day but for a life time! Don't try to do it all in a day, or a week, or a month, or a year. Household goods that become household goods are acquired slowly. Each srticle, in the home that has The Test Time determines whether the policies under which a bank is oper ated are safe. KfTSItf mv ! I This bank has been In business twenty-sli years.

When you begin housekeeping, buy a few good things that will last Buy only the necessities of housekeeping, buy only the best quality, and buy them only after you liave examined them and made sure that they are that quality. Don't tell the dealer to man A nn tMu or that but go down to ! the atore and pick it out for your self. Aoove all things, don't buy the cheap trash advertised in the mail order catalogs that you have no op. portunity to,, examine before paying out your money for it. Be satisfied to start with a few things that will Inst you a lifetime insteud of cluttering up your new home with a lot of stuff that will neither look well nor wear weH. Buy good furniture fewer pieces and higher quality. You will accumu late more as the years go on, never fear; if it is the right kind it will serve you a life time; if it is the wrong tind it will go back on you perhaps just at the time when you least like to uy in later years. , When you build the house, don't try to build a great big house out of cheap stuff. Build instead to last, of good material bought at; home from someone you can hold accountable for its quality. Don't get the foolish idea that it is economy to save a few dol lars on the material and lose years of wear. There is no economy In poor lumber, botchy millwork and adulter ated paint. Build and buy for the future, not for now. Have a little of the best, so it will last a long time, acquire things as you need them, and have a FIVE OBSERVER 4-28 house that, inside and outside, will be serviceable, good-looking and a real saving in the long run. BRYAN IN THE WEST. Col Bryan should make a long stay in the west and then he would be better fitted to pass on the California question. Possibly . a few days may enlighten him, but it is hard to be lieve that he will be able to see things with wide vision unless he un dergoes some of j the unpleasant things that' Cilifornfans suffer fom our Mongolian neighbors. ' The colonel will have a difficult task in convincing Governor Johnson that the little brown brothers are as docile and make such perfect citizens as the Oregonian and some other newspapers indicate by their editor ials. Certai i it is that California's chief executive will not agree with the Portland Oregonian when ' it quotes and practically agrees with some mdy who, atfer studying the races, insists that an American girl had better marry a good, energetic Japanese than to marry a worthless American. We believe that Governor Johnson will insist that should a girl have such an alternative as to mar riage, the girl had better stay sinfcle and lead the honrable life of a maiden lady. When he gets real anxious t sret tome fish, the man with the jointed fihrod usually asks advice of the boy ailh the birch pole. ot Tinx LA GRANDIS EVENING OBSERVES, 1: pet pig cf the New York polica force has been disposed of., Nothing must le permitted to remain in the dej-vrtment 'part can squeal.

' Be patient the commission form of government for La Grande is just about ready to be announced, after which discussion will be free and un- trammeled. The sentiment against having a governor appoint officers to hold over a regular election is not growing, but it is being aroused in Union ad Wal lowa counties by the county attornev law. - Soon the Y. M. C. A. campaign is to start. Don't, hold your purse strings so tight. Evidently Woodrow has overlooked the local . interest in the La Grande postoffice matter. Strange he should he so unmindful of these things. MERCHANTS SIGN AGREEMENT , ON CLOSING HOURS. Stricter Adherance to This Rule Is Promised by Merchants. In order to have more uniformity in business circles regarding the keeping open of stores a committe was appointed by the Merchants' Pro tective association to call on the dif ferent stores with the idea of es tablishing regulur hours for business. The commitee named consisted of Mac Wood, John Collier, Wm. Ash, H. Seigrist, Press Lewis, A. V. An drews and H. French. As a result of the comimttee's work the following agreement was obtained from the firms whose names are subscribed thereto: We, the undersigned merchants of La Grande, believing that the best in terests of our city and all concerned demand that our stores be kept clorrd ail day Sunday and evenings after 6 o'clock p. m., except Saturday evening, hereby agree to keep our stores closed as above stated. The Golden Rule Co., The People's Store, N. K. West, Ash Bros., A. V. Andrews, Franch & Srranton, F. E. Wilhelm, The Club Tailors, E. E. McLeod, L. J. French Shoe Co., E. E. Kirtley, S. H. Dalton.The Hub, A. J. Lilly, Island City M. A M. Co., W. H. Bohnenkamp Co., H. Block, Fred Gei btl. The movement is considered only fair to the employes of the different establishments as the evenings will then be free to all connected with the merchandizing business of the city. Under the state law the num ber of hours for a working week are prescribed and it is the wish of every business man whose name appears above to conform strictly to that law. In order to do so it is found that the closing of stores at 6 o'clock is neces- NO MORE PRESERVES. Stale Game Commissions Will Not Add Preserve Territory Here. Although requests for new pre serves have been sent to the state garre commission, Chas. B. Orai, deputy game warden, has been ad vised that there will be no additions to the amount of territory f.lready exempt from hunting in t-Ms valley. The territory thus shut jff from hunting and on which the rtst is breeding game birds, covers a large area of the valley and suffi cient has been done in the eyes of the commission, to warrant the edict that no more preserves will be created.
