North American Review: There they the people ibility for the present state of affairs local, slate and national. A self-respecting newspaper tries to report the news of what actually happens, not what it might wish had happened. The re lation of a self-respecting newspaper to the general public is not , always understood. It is the duty of a newspaper to be in a posi tion to support any good act and criticize any bad act of public policy. This relationship cannot exist where favors are asked and granted. Honesty is the only policy for a newspaper. OFFICE CAT IRAQI MANN BY JUNIUS You are very fur from dcud, vante no time In uMelemi Uroud. Put your trut in God InrtU'ud And Hmilf. Out!

On this occasion some oT the pioblems that confront lh,' pro ducer will be discussed, and every merchant, hanker and profes sional man will benefit by hearing the difl'eient angles lhat will be brought out by speakers who have studied the economic oties tions of today some of which are extremely complex and call for the most profound thought from all sides. Let the general public understand that it is invited to this picnic. While it is a farmers' picnic, everyone is requested to at tend. Take your lunch basket and stay for dinner at the city park. our to possess one of the wonder ful Copper Automatic Vasher for Paviug And Property Values La Grande is starting a paving progiam this year which lias long been needed, and which should continue until every street which property owners request is paved. We have learned by experience that property values aie so much giea'er on a paved street that it is no longer economy to talk about owning prop erty that is free from paving expense. Invariably when prop-; teiy does not have paving expense it docs not have the paving' value. ' The Evening Observer is not interested as to what kind of pav ing is laid so that a good, serviceable street is assured, but we do believe that the time has come I'or quite an extensive im provement program in La Grande.
