i; A hundred million dollars for the use of grain market
stabilization sounds good to the wheat grower. But what lie
wants most is some fast action in getting the benefit of that
money. The wheat market is too easily influenced at present
by the stock market, by general speculation. A cure cannot
be effected overnight but it should be hurried as Much as
; possible.
. That $600,000 worth of food stuffs in competition with
local pi'oducts are purchased outside of the home market is
not surprising. It is folly to expect that people in this terri
tory will refuse to cat raspberries, for example, until the
locally grown raspberries come on the market. So it is
with other products. But there are two glaring examples of
loss that can and should be corrected. In explaining the
homo market survey at the Tuesday chairtbcr of commerce
meeting Mr. Breithaupt, of 0. S. C, said that half of the
locally .consumed meat products were purchased outside and
that $70,000 a year is spent for outside flour. These are
not seasonal products.. Livestock to provide meat is produced
the year 'round in the Grande Hondo valley. Flour id pro
duced Jicro and year 'round stocks arc available. Those
items are not like fresh fruits and vegetables that are on
the market a limited time. And they offer, therefore, an
attractive starting point for the committees seeking to adjust
home market conditions. -

LA ;HANI)K I'KOTKST JUSTIFIIOI)
Tho stale board in session Saturday in Portland not only
justified tho protest of La Grande against several football
players on tho Baker high school squad but it went further
-and suspended the Baker school from the association for the
balance of the season. That there was an abundance of
evidence against I laker is indicated by the plain lerniH of
the board's decision.
Tho Observer regrets that the board deemed it necessary
to be so severe in its ruling, though we realize such a course
was probably required under the rules of the association.
Wo would much prefer, from our own standpoint, the elim
ination of ineligible players and let it go at that, particularly
since wc think the laxity that brought on the protest can be
blamed on a very few Baker men while the stigma of pun
ishment must lie borne by the entire school community.
Usually in a case of this kind any tendency to be lax on
eligibility and to violate the spirit of tho rules can lie traced
to a few over-zealous fans outside the school's official circle.
Wo are inclined to think that this may have happened at
Baker and we are quite confident that the athletic policy
indicated by evidence in the case is not one that has received
the support or Supt. Coknian of Baker or of a great major
ity of its citizens.
The whole situation developed because of thoughtlessness
and unguarded enthusiasm on the part of a few who wished
to see Baker have a strong team. Maker people are, as a
whole we are sure, good sports and as observant of both the
spirit and the letter of the law as can be found in any com
lmmily. They have merely suffered the misfortune f a
few leaders making a misl.ike that could and should have'
been avoided.
For other Oregon schools the I'.aker case should serve as
n lesson that will long be remembered. Inteischolastie ath
letics are of great value in our educational system when thev
promote good health, keen competition d elean sportsman
ship. Any policy that will tend to destroy any of these ad
vantages c.umot. be fostered and the Satuiday ruling of the'
state board will help emphasize that fad in every school
belonging to the association.

For the benefit of our many friends and patrons in the, La Grande
community I wish to announce the purchase of the interest of Mr. W.
O. dinger in the La Grande Hotel and that its operation is now beinif
taken over under my direction.
I feel that my present investment plus the advantages of the oper
ating end of the business well justified my further investment to this
extent, and I want to extend a hearty invitation to the citizens of La
Grande and the traveling public to continue to make use of the facili
ties we have here for their comfort.
I expect to be here a great deal myself but it will take me a few
months, possibly as long as a year, to liquidate my other interests, and
as soon as this can be done I am moving to La Grande to live and rive
the La Grande Hotel my entire attention.
I am contemplating some improvements in the; building and will
make a further announcement a little later as to these, as well as to the
personnel of the hotel. We again invite your continued patronage and
pledge you unexcelled hotel service.
