Iwiiuh 40:1)1. That Celebration on the Hill Men like L. C. Scharff, of the American National bank of Pen dleton, see the importance of the completion of the Old Oregon Trail and stress its great service to the country sufficiently to de vote some time toward arranging a celebration in the mountains between La Grande and Pendleton when" the time comes to 'say to the world "the ttlue Mountains are now permanently open for automobile traffic." " Mr. Scharff headed a delegation from Pendleton a ew days ago that visited this city and also visited Not Lake, Union and JJaker to get interest started and arrangements made for the cele bration. ' j Complete co-operation was promised and enthusiasm for the event is aheady beginning to be seen, it can be made one of the big events of Oregon history and very likely will be. 1 When the Celilo canal was opened to traffic two states met Entftred at thu post officii at La tirandc, Oregon, aa Socond Class Mall Wat tor.

With that road completed Pendleton and La Grande will bo just as neighborly as La Grande and lialu-r are today. It will annihil ate distance, permit Pendleton people to drive over after dinner in the evening; it will allow La Cri'tide people to go over to Pendle ton for a few hours' visit with friends,1 returning home before .bedtime. : Again, the Evening Observer wishes to remark that people must begin to realize more fully what an asset the improved high ways are to thi3 state.

Our Country Club ; . The merit of the institution known as tho Country Club is of equal importance to its beauty, and that is legend throughout the I northwest. : ; " l"A first step in giving Union county's population a place for I'urnl enjoyment has been made. Tho ground work of tho picture is done and from now on it is a case of meeting nature half wiy to .beautify it. Large sums in the future are not essential, but con stancy is the main thing. Do a little each year and gradually it will be found that the Country Club will be keeping pace with La Grande's growth. It is a mistaken idea Hint the Country Club is, in a strict sense, a club. It is not. Probably it could bettor be described as a com munity enterprise, buildcd to serve tho community. The more people who form tho habit of visiting it, the more friends it will have and the easier the task will bo to maintain it. . This happens to be a year when all public and semi-public enter prises are suffering for lack of support. Not only is this true in La Grande, but it is true in all the western cities. It is hoped suf ficient interest is felt in this beautiful place to insure its financial support, and we believe there is. La Grande can boast of the Country Club, not ns an extraordin arily fancy improvement, but as a playground for the people, a place where social events join hands with natures own picnic grounds. -il rnaspot flirht hetwoen the Jun iors and Keillors.

There's the Lure of the Orient INew Fabric weaves in Small wonder since the inspiration for weave, pat terns and coloring came straight from Oriental lands. All the colorful richness, the artistry of design and the luxur ious weave which have long been the pride of the East, now become the heritage of every American woman. And this Oriental splendor, reproduced in sturdy Am erican materials, makes possible the most charming ef fects in Spring costumes. Our present displays show a wide variety of these gorgeous prints in Georgettes, Crepe de Chines, Silk Crepe Knit, Migionette Fantasi, and Rosh anara silks also plain colors in Taffetas, Satins and Mes calines. Be sure to see this wonderful line of Oriental colorings. .

That follow Kusrr, who was brought out from Towa to tako charge of the boys' school at Saloni, at least is tho center of the political storm now raging in the state capital. Mr. Kuser was dis missed but he has many followers who refuse to let that dismissal eland as final. Chapter after chapter is being made in Oregon history with Mr. Kuser as the leading character. In all of which tho taxpayers of the state hold little interest. What everyone wants is ellicient management ol" the .school, and the fact that the ispreading board of control agrees or does not agree as to personality of any ,one in charge means little.
