Valuable New Metal The nev7 metal, beryllium, comes from beryl, which is a bard . gem stone, of which emerald and aqua marine are variations. Beryl con tains about 14 per cent beryllium oxide and occurs In feldspar, espe cially in New Hampshire and North Carolina. Beryllium is the world's lightest metal, being only about twice as heavy as water. - Russian Progress History tells, us that Russia rulers recognized the value of west ern science, and took advantage of It whenever they could.

THE OBSERVER SOLD Sale of The Observer, announced elsewhere in today's issue, corrtes to us almost as much a surprise as it does to most of our readers. A few weeks ago such a possibility was most remote in our thoughts but every business man will sell any business he owns for a price. That, and the natural desire to find a larger field of opportunity, are our chief reasons for selling. The La Grande community has been1 exceedingly kind to The Observer under the present ownership. The paper has grown and prospered and we have sought constantly to make worthwhile improvements, to give better service, to produce a better newspaper in return. Our one desire has been to make The Observer a stronger asset to the community to give increasingly larger values to readers and advertisers alike, to be a constructive force for the development and bet terment of this territory. If we have only partially accomplished this, we are doubly compensated for the five years of enjoyable work and pleas ant associations afforded us in the La Grande newspaper field. as they have been. The city has the material but it means real self-sacrifice for good men, busy men to take municipal office. Hawaiian Island Although far to the south of the Hawaiian Islands, Palmyra Island belongs to that group. It Is six miles long and one and one-half miles wide.

Mr. Finlay's purchase is a loss for the middle west and a distinct gain for Oregon. He buys here because he is "sold" on Oregon and on this community, because he wishes to establish a permanent home here and engage in a worthy activity. We know that he will lie welcomed, that he will continue and increase the success and the standards of ser vice of The Observer. The present ownership will publish only two more issues. The new owners will take over the management for Tuesday's publication.

OLD COMMISSIONERS AND NEW While people throughout the state are' wondenno- u-hn will be the republican nominee for governor. La Grande citizens ! are beginning to wonder who will run for city commissioners at the fall election. The terms of all three commissioners expire and A. T. Hill and Charles Playle say positively that they will not run again. After six years on the job, they will retire, although Dick Melville, put on the commission at the last election, and a thoroughly competent man, will prob ably continue. We have no idea who will seek the office but if the new commissioners elected this fall measure up to the standard of those now in office, I -a Grande will le very, very for tunate. Such men in public office are rare, and we do not hesitate in saying that succeeding years will add much honor to the work and fine service of the present commission. Mr. Hill and Mr. Playle will retire with a memory of some strife, considerable criticism and possibly a few regrets. l!e ing human it has been impossible for them to please every body. But it is our sincere opinion that they have done a better job considering the size of the city's job these past six years than any other men in the conummitv could have done. La Grande hits gone forward unnristnkably dining their administrations. One improvement lias followed another. With a better, cleaner, more attractive city their sole object, they have a record of conscientious, impartial and construc tive service to their credit that will stand for many vears. Serving in a civic of fice of authority is, at best, a thankless job. There can be and is only one rompen.sation for such service and A. T. Hill and Charley Playle have received it in good measure. It is this: The satisfaction of knowing that their time, their effort and their thought has been success fully employed in making their home city a better place in which to live. As they grow older and near the retrospective stage of life, those men most worth while often find greatest interest in some work that will contribute to the wellbeing of the city Ihey call home. Here these men found opportunity; here they found a home and friends. Here it was only natural that they should accept the responsibility of civic service as tne means of paying a debt of gratitude to friends and neigh lor.s with whom the years had associated them. I A. T. Hill and Charley Playle have served the city from : that viewpoint. They have had at heart only the city's best interests as they saw them. Surely their accomplishments have compensated them for their work. Surely the pleasures ; of their associations and the joy of their success have far i outweighed the few difficulties.

Underworld and Slums The underworld Is the debased or criminal .nortlon of humanity. It does not necessarily have any rela tion to slums, which limy be mere ly a low or squalid neighborhood, although they are frequently found together.
