From t he new spa per ir.an's stand point, 1 cun wifely suy thai you will not get from the good citizens of La Grande the credtl lor thai edition thai It deserves. The ordinary cllly.cn knows nothing of the work, the worry. and the excessive cost, and ho fails to realize that probably no oilier city of the size ol l.a Grande ever had an edition so large, so perfect mechan ically and from a literary standpoint; and with all so costly. A man who gets out such an edition In a city the size of I, a Grande must have pride In the city as well as alddlng faith In Its future, some rare combination of civic pride mid optimism. As a business proposition it certainly will not pay. L. 11. McMahan. (Marion t 'ounty llepresentat Ive, Salem, Oregon.)
