Pendleton Wants Fair Grounds.
At citizens meeting held in PEN
dleton last Wednesday committee
was appointed to solicit subscriptions
to stock company which it is pro-
posed to organize for the purpose of
building an agricultural fair ground
in that city. When Pendleton starts
after anything it generally gets it, and
will very likely not fail in this under
taking. Should it succeed in erecting
fair ground, it is not altogether i'm
probable that an effort will be made to
get an appropriation from the state for
premiums, and the amount heretofore
donated to the second district associa-
tion for The Daltes fair may be trans
ferred, especially if fair is not held
here this fall. We cannot afford this,
hence The Dalles should get things
moving and perfect arrangements for
fair here next month. There is
little question but the state appropri-
alton is available, and if sufficient
amount is raised by subscription to
offer, good purses for speed program
the fair can be made success.
Will go to Klondike.
J. P. Hurbrick, who for some time
past has been engaged in the livery
business at Pasco, is in the city max
ing preparations to go to Klondike.
He has located his family with Mrs.
Hulbrick's father, j. J. Paddock, on
Mill creek. and will leave here Satur-
day for Seattle to take passage on a
steamer that sails from Ft. Wrangle |
on the 18th. At Seattle he will be |
Joined by Ell Alverson. an experienced
mountaineer, and from Ft. Wrargle |
they expect to proceed across the |
Stickeen pass to Circle City. They |
will take 80 dogs with them to draw
their sledges across the divide. They |
expect to get to Circle City within
month from the time they leave Ft. /
Wrangle. Mr.. Hurbrick will take
supplies to last year, and contem-
plates that he will experience no un-
surmountable obstacles in reaching
the gold fields.
The Situation In the Palouse.
The situation throughout the Pa
louise country is grave. Rain began
falling at o'clock Saturday night and
continued with only short cessations
for "a hours. says dispatch from Pull
man. About three quarters of an inch
fell during that time. The rain fell |
gently and was not accompanied by !
wind, in consequence of which very |
little wheat was knocked down. At /
dark Saturday evening little damage
had been done. and should the weather
turn dry so that harvest can be resum-
ed in a few days the damage will have
been light. The wheat was unusually |
dry and hard and there has not been +
rainfall yet to soften the
berry, consequently very little dry
weather is necessary to dry the grain
so that harvesting can be resumed.
1t will not cure everything. 1t is
not claimed that it will cui but one
that is, dyspepsia. We
cannot say that it win cure AYery case
of dyspepsia, butit will cure large
majority of them. Such cases as are
adapted to it's use will derive i'm
mediate benefit. One small bottle will
be sufficient to test it.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is
adapted for emaciated or
elderly people whose food does but little
or no good because 1t is not digested.
The Cordial contains .on artifcially-
food and is digester of food
happily combined. Read one of the
little books which your druggist is
now giving away and learn of this
wonderful remedy.
A really palatable Caster Oil can
now be had under the name of Laxol.
