The Observer greets its readers this week as an eight-page, all home print newspaper, in which form it will appear regularly in future. In adopt ing this form, the publisher has chosen what he has always considered the ideal size of a country newspaper. The change has been contemplated for several months, the advertising patronage of the paperhaving reached a mark where a four-page paper was inadequate to the demands for space, but it was only last week that we were able to procure the material and equipment necessary to enable us to print the paper in its enlarged form. It will be noticed that the Obsebver now contains a little more than 50 per cent more space than it did in its old form, the exact proportion being 960 incnes to 616 inches. The new arrangement will make it possible for us to take care of our advertisers better than ever before and still have more room for news matter. With the increased number of pages, it will no longer be necessary to crowd a lot of advertisements together on one page, and we are in a position to give all advertisements better position than ever before. The rush of work incident to the holiday season, such as Christmas job printing and the re-setting of all mercantile ads, made it impossible f r us to give this number of the paper the attention it deserved, but we ex pect to have everything working smoothly within the next two weeks. The growth of the Obsebveb sub scription list this year has exceeded that of any former year and has enabled us to make the desired changes and improvements. New features and departments will be added to the paper from time to time, and it shall be our constant endeavor to make each number of the Obsebveb better than the preceding one. With gratitude for all patronage accorded us in the past, and with pleasant anticipation of still better things for the future, we wish our readers, one and all, a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Mr. William McHardy and Mrs. Bessie B. Kimball were united in marriage Tuesday afternoon, County Judge Cwd officiating.

In political circles there is some evidence of a desire to have a little fun at the expense of Governor Chamberlain. In the campaign of 1906 he claimed credit for the low state tax levy of this year, the small amount of revenue needed being due to the holding up of an appropriation bill by referendum petition. The Re publican campaign managers asserted that this was merely a putting-off of the day of payment and that ultimately the amount of the appropriation would be paid. Such proves to be the case, and the amount of money to be raised for state purposes in 1907 will be double that raised in 1906. The ques tion now being asked is whether Governor Chamberlain will assume responsibility for the high levy of! 1907 as he assumed credit for the low levy of 1906. Oregon Ian. Marriage Licenses.
