Large boards on each highway approach calling atten

ing the legend, "1m (Jrande The Gateway to Wallowa ial;e
Wonderland," are one of the city's immediate requirement:;
if the greatest possible number of visitors are to be s i
nned this and subsequent seasons. The Observer hopc
that they can be had before many weeks pass and before
the season is too far advanced.

I.KaiTINC Till'. lU SINKSS DISTRICT.
As pointed out by The Observer last fall, onss of the
imixirtant needs of the city's business district is adequate,
lighting, l.a Grande makes an excellent appeal ancc by
day and measures up to all the demands that a population
of 10.(1(1(1 ordinarily makes; yet by night the stieet light
ing in the business aiea is so inadequate and disappointing
that the city is dwarfed and first impressions made under
that condition are lar from being creditable. A city's i p
pearance is not everything, but it is a most worthy coi,
nideration. If the question of a charter amendment to
piepare for improvement of this condition Knes an t!v
special election ballot, as it most certainly should, the ma
jority in its favor should be overwhelming. I'loper light
ing in the business distiict will not only increase property
values therein but will also make the entire city more at
tractive and a more pleasant place in which to live.
