Heyond these immediate needs occasioned liy the fire ou WALLOWA ('OUNTY
which the county court is already at work the question has;
immediately arisen as to what course shall le followed in'
providing a court house. Khali the old huilding, originally!
designed for a city hall and long inadequate fur the expand

nt an expense of thirty-five or furty thousand? Or shall
I he same money he atlded lo such additional funds as may
he letpiired to build a new. modem, and fire-proof building
that will meet the needs of the county for several genera
lions to come?
Tljore is already much sentiment in favor of a new build

court house purposes. 1 ci'i i in t ,n itt sai.im
It is The Observer's tjpinion that a new building will tie-,TiM-AM.iuJNi'-1',luiV.Vi
lend largely on the possibility of disposing of the 'present l"n ' ' ' "i r iin- Am- -sile
and ttrti;illy destniyetl building for enough to at least I'"".''.""'. lili'iiVoli'mi
provide a new sile. possible to be located nearer the center vit.nii.n in niii m! iiu fonvcniion
of the connnunit.v. If that could be done anil the insurance
money utilized, the county could have a proper court build
i ig with a moderate eMK'tulilure of additional money, and
en obvious need of long .standing would be satisfied.
The old court house is ideally situated for a school .build
!);.'. The walls and lower floor remain in good condition fol
lowing the fire, though rebuilding the entire interior is
; Imost a certainty logaidlcss of the use it is put to. While
i! is not as large as might be desired for school purposes, it
could, according to builders, be made into a school mnl the
immediate demands for more space be met very satisfac
torily.
Kvcryonc knows that additional school room i.; an absolut

I'i'cn delayed tins long is due only to the present indebtedness I'nUi.in. r, i.ii.iii -an imi in-mii-nt,
of the district and the difficulty of financing a .SIoO.ooo or " B tt , j " "tV-V-v- " V- -- -1 " " I

for a school, the needs of several years in the I'utuie w ould s.n,i i., i,i,,i i . ,
be satisfied at it third or a half of the cost. H is a plan tle
MTving full consitleitition.
Whether or not. this is practical ami expedient remains to
be decided. It " ill be up to the voters of the county and of
the school district to say what action should lv taken if
new court house is to be built, ami if the di.-tiut shall
Uilil'.e the site and ruins of the old building for a school.
It is obvious, however, that this is the time to pinvido a
new court house if we are ever to have one. In the inter
Mews secured by The Obseiver today that is a etv general
opinion. The cost would not be great. Taking !on,noo as
i ll example of the lax money required, it means nulv si per
thousand of valuation. A home assessed at S2."on vmild pay
only $1(1. A farm assessed at ?lo,non would only $u.
What is Hie county to do? Shall we repair a nnke shift

''bserver believes we will never have a belter opportunity
or a more economic opportunity. The counl has a ehanc-.'
