ASKS FOR
II IRRIGATION
Delegation viii Present
Strong Argument.

| Umatilla county will be we'll repre-
sented at the session Of the irrigation
congress which meets at Ogden Septem.
Der 15. Every endeavor will be put
forth to show why the county is greatly
in need of irrigation in certain sections.
Exhibits Of all kinds Of produce from
all parts Of the country where irrigation
is now conducted on small scale will
be taken by the Umatilla delegation.
COLLECTIONS are now being made.
All the delegates from the county have

been scheduled are: f. II. Holbrook of
Umatilla, B. W. Hoffman, State Senator
W, NJ. Pierce, County Judge q. IA.

the various towns OF the county will
doubtless be in attendance.
Considerable data is being gathered
by our delegates said Mr.. Haley,
"and weexpect to make a good showing
at the coming convention. We will have
a large number Of exhibits to present.
"We are getting some fruit from the
famous Milton fruit belt; and we al
ready have a collection Of apples from
some of thefruits tsEanchesalong the Una

We will obtain samples Of alfalfa and
some grain which is raised from irrigat-
ed sections.
"The principal sections of the county
which are greatly in need of irrigation at
present are Milton, Butter creek and
the Echo district. We wish to show at
the meeting that reservoirs are needed
in the Butter creek sections. Under the
small irrigation system now In use three
crops Of alfalfa can be raised and better
results could be obtained il regular

When Henry r. Redline, of Camp
bell Bros. Show, departed from Athena
the other day he left in the care OF Ds..
aSponogle a section of his lower jaw
bone. The doctor has it preserved in
alcohol and it representa- the result Of
one of the most difficult dental opera
tions ever performed in the Northwest.
Redline, before his visit to DIR. Spon-
ogle, had been suffering torture for
weeks, and pus was escaping from
hole under the chin. The mans con-
dition emanated from the extraction of
the second vicuspid tooth several
months ago. LIP the operation Of remov-
ing the tooth portion of the lower jaw
was fractured. All, result the bone
became diseased and seven otlier teeth
became affected and were removed with
only temporary relief to the afflicted
man.
On examination DR.. sponoele found
portion Of the Jaw bo ne in an advanced
stage of decay, and after painlessly re-
moyingit, the pus ceased flowing and
the patient was given instant relief.
Mr.. Redline had been given treatment
byiwell known dentists Of Seattle and,
other cities in the Northwest, but until
the diseased bone was discovered and
successfully removed BY Or. sponogle
his condition had been going from bad
to worse.
