S t decent present, a moral censor in New York wrote in lS7ii:

June 23 next Wednesday is La - Grande's second

jj ' BETTER TABLE MANNERS.
?. .Women, it must be admitted, are fairly competent critics
(if manners especially masculine manners. Women rcs-
taurant owners and managers, then, must bo qualified to
pass' judgment on masculine table manners. And what do
they say? . ;, .. . , f:, . .. ( ,
Theysa that Tnori'tf table mnnhcr -art -iiiiprovmt('
This is highly important from every angle,' because men
are. eating in public more than ever before, say the lady
icstaurateui's, and it would be all the more dreadful if their
manners were bad. This very situation tends to cure the
evil. Eating in public "stimulates a desire to cat iu n re
fined manner," explains one of the ladies. - Besides, the
women are eating in public, too, and "wives won't stand
for letting their husbands make any mistakes at the table
these days." Which, as a million men will testify, is only
, j too true.
OUR FORESTS ON FIRE
- Hie beautiful and irreplaceable Sequoia national forest
in California is menaced by severe forest fires- Some of
! these were caused by lightning, striking at a time of low
humidity mid hot night winds. But the largest one was
i started by a cigar carelessly thrown on a roadway. This
i conflagration burned an area two miles wide and three
i miles long. Two hundred men fought the blaze for a
whole day.
For the last several days The Observer has rt ported
many forest fires and thero are likely to be many other
such reports during the next six months. Careless motor
ists or campers or hikers will throw away burning matches,
cigarets and cigars, or they will leave burning camp fires.
As a result of such carelessness, large areas of valuable
timber will be destroyed. Other property will be damaged
mid perhaps human lives will be lost.
The forests belong to the people and this is the time of
year when ever citizen should resolve most earuost.lv to be
I a fire preventer instead of a fire starter. Coiiiiiioii-sen.MC
carefulness is a small price to pay for the preservation of
our forests.

To The Editor:
Just a word In defense of the
horses shown at the first Cnlon
Livestock show.
The horses of the first t'nlon
Livestock show were Just u buneh
of "fuzx tulls" compured with the
horses shown ut the 18th unnuul
show last week, unollng Mr, Tom
Johnson In his address In front of
tlie Union hotel lust Friduy night.
It would seem rather ludicrous
to think thut the horses of. the
first stock show" were .u mere
bunch of "fuzs! tails" when the
horse Ihut paraded In front of the
grandHtnnd lust Kriduy, winning
Ihe championship of light- boned
horses at Ihe age of 'tf years, won
the grand chumplonshlp ut the
first show, 17 yeurs ugo.
"Cullowoy King II" must come
from a pretty good bunch of "fuzz
tails," as wus Mr. Johnson's style,
of expression of the horses of the
first stock show. I
Calloway King It Ih only u sum-i j
pie of muiiy good horses shown ut i
the first stock show ut Union.' Mr. ij
Have Cooper und Mr. Krunk ' Bid-'
well were the Instigators ' und the
promoters of that first stock show
and Calloway King II was the in
spiration and I am wondering Just
how Mr. Cooper feels on hturlnz
him dubbed u "fuzz tail."
