(; LA GRANDE LOSES A GOOD FIRM, ft is, hot customary for a newspaper to mention editorially a closing out (ale of any firm,, but there ore so many heartstrings and feelings of goodfellowship surrounding the Gol den Rulo Company in La Grande, that the Observer cannot see this institu tion dissolve without calling attention to the part it has played in the devel opment of this city and community. That Mr. Mac Wood and Mr. Will lam Casey,' principal owners1 of the company,;' should see fit to close out the stock and cease lousiness is a pure--y matter 'and Jhis paper' lias nothing1 whatever to say, for all men have their own affairs to handle and any conclusion reached by; the individual is wholly his own. . The Golden Rule and its active man agers have been quite a factor in La Grande for many years. No public Improvement, no move for the bettor inont of the community' ever passed tho Golden Rulo Company unsupport ed. Mr. Wood has devoted a great deal of his time to public work and bis efforts have ever been turned in the direction of right, and a desire to im prove La Grande morally has always been his. He has served the city in many capacities, having 'been one of the commissioners who put the present form of managerial city government into effect Jit wus a task of large di mensions, for every 'feature' was new and had to be tried out. '.His mature judgment and his eminent, fairness helped materially to make La Grande's form of government a "thorough suc cess from the beginning. tv : When tho Golden Rule Company's etoro will have been closed out, us it will be in e short time, it is sincerely doped that both Mr. Wood and Mr. Casey will decide to continuo us resi dents, of La Grande, Ilowcvor, if bus iness should beckon to them elsewhere, the unanimous good wishes straight from the heart of all La Grundo peo ple will accompany them. JUSTLY DUE THEM. 4 It is all right enough for the author ' Itios to give notice to Germany that any further wanton destruction and burning of cities on their retreat will be mot with reprisals. Hut what is to bo done about tho destruction already inflicted on the people of Belgium und tho occupied portion of France ? There ' need be no notico About this part of tile wreckage. It can only be suitably , paid back in the raiding of a strip ' alout 4 hundred miles wide from the ' jfthune up to and including Berlin. ' JThat is a necessary measure to suit ' obly iiid-.ict in the mind of the warlike liun what it means to be invaded and overrun and robbed and pillaged. They can learn the lessons of war, it seems, in no other way than by the vigorous!, administration, of their w :edicljlf' No one can beliove for a minute that CermaMje wJJl eyer beb)e to pay pre- fA i f'V" Swa r; .sfV A V J .11,: ' r $ p Capt .

Let them have for themselves some of the glory they have been rioting in the past four years. ' .J4- ijw ' fj CHANGES OF-70 iTEARS. i Mrs. Levi Ankcny, who died at the family home in Wulla Walla Sunday, was to the pioneer munncr born. Five years boforo her birth" her ' father came to tho Oregon country with the immigration of 1813, a member of the immigrant train that was guided across the plains and the mountains by Dr. Murcus Whitman, notes the Spokesman Review. Her eventful life of 70 years began with tho discovery of gold in California. The Pacific northwest lay then u wild und lonely land. Old Oregon, embracing n far flung region which extended from the California line to the British posses sions on the north, und from the Pa cific ocean to the summit of the Rocky mountains, was peopled by fewer than 10,000 whites. Three millions are here today. Wulla Wulla alone has larger popu lation than there wcro white people in 1818 in tho vast legion west of, tho Rocky mountains und lying between Mexico und Canada. Within the span of Mrs. Ankcny's throo score years und ten the American nation expanded from 20,000,000 to 100,000,000: Born in a log cabin in a ploncci community of tho Willamette valley, Jennio Nesmith enjoyed the distinc tion of seeing both futher arid hus band sit in the senate of the United Stales. But the greutcr romance that unrolled before her eyes was the mi raculous development of the' rich re gion that was so wild und desolate when sho was nn infant and which became so wonderfully altered long before her death.

At a time when the adequacy of public revenues is made precarious by wur conditions -and when other folk uro devoting their chief energies and their available means to prosecution of war work, he finances an initiative meas uro seemingly designed to interfere with the collection of taxes. Tho lesson of tho liberty loan com mittee's publicity ought to be pluin to the mose ordinary understanding. Tax money, like bond money, must be had. There 'arc always 'slackers and shirk ers.

WILLYS HAVE riWOLINE PLOW TRACTOR PRODUCTION WILL BE OPERATED SEPARATELY Effect of Distributers of the Tractor Company and Overland Is Awaited TOLEDO, Ohio, Sept. 24 Special telegram One of the most important transactions consummated in years transpired yesterday when the control of the Moline Plow company passed into the hands of the Willys-Overland, Inc. The latter cohipany is now in possession of SI per cent of the stock and the remainder is still retained by the Moline. The acquired organiza tion will remain intact' with the ex ception of Frank G,. Allen, vice-pres ident and general manager. No mer-; ger or change in the latter s financial status is contemplated, according to John NvWillys, '',;.':,! . .'.'.' .JL.'.. The tractor business will be operat ed as a separate organization. Steps are now being taken to transfer some of the machinery from Moline to the Toledo plant and as soon as this is ac complished tractor engines will be manufactured in Toledo. Gradually more work will be done at the Toledo plant until the entire tractor will be produced here. It is not believed that the complete tractors will be built at Toledo before another year. Production at the Moline plant is running fifty-four a day. The com pany is 4800 tractors behind in orders. After the Willys-Overland plant starts manufacturing the complete tractors the Moline plant will confine its activ ities to the production of agricultural implements. It is very likely that the selling forces of both companies will be combined as a result of the proba ble cessation of passenger cor manu facture. : 1 Moline has twenty-two branch houses, and 30,000 dealers. The Willys-Overland has moro than 100 dis tributers i and 8000 dealers. Coinci dent with the announcement of the control of tho Moline interests, the Mi.". Men the popular styles of the season.
