WEEDS.
Prolific Growth of Weeds a Bad
Advertisement.
EDITOR TRIBUNE:

EDITOR TRIBUNE:
ssAre the citizens of this town losing
their public spirit?" els your town
dead?" "What is the matter with
you people" The above are three
questions that have been asked the
writer within two weeks by strangers
upon walking around the town and
seeing everywhere on every street
and vacant lot, weeds from to 5
feet in height.
This year has been a wet one and
hence the weeds have grown more
prolifcly but there is certainly no ex-
cuse for allowing them to remain as
tuey are.
A strangers first view coming down
Main St. from the depot are the weeds
next to Mr.. Finnegan's barn which
are at least five feet high and are the
more noticeable because an attempt
has been made to cut few of them.
Another unsightly spot is found
around the edges of the slough back
of the La Grande. Of course it is i'm.
possible to cut them entirely but a
man with sycthe could cut the lar
gest of the weeds in half day.
Another very bad spot is the three
corner lot opposite Mr.. Perry's house
This lot has been vacant nearly all
summer and the house is now nearly
hidden by the weeds.
1t is not only these lots but the
streets themselves around the outer
edge of town are sight not fit for a
visitor to see.
The council should take this matter
up and see that the streets were
cleaned and then force the property
owners to clear their lots. AS it is
we are only pushing ourselves farther
into the "slough of despond." 1t is
bad enough to attempt to interest
outside buyers with the poor GRO s
that we have had, but when on top
of this they have to put up in town
over-run with weeds, it caps the
climax,
Let something be done.
