Dust, stones and chuck holes in a
piece of new road in the South Cold
Spring canyon have driven the resi-
dents of that section to petition the
county court to assist in strawing
about three miles of the canyon road
Immediately to make it passable to
the heavy travel from the locality to
the county seat
Thomas Campbell, ]. b. Grubb, and
other farmers of that vicinity have
offered to donate the straw, free of
charge, if the county will place the
straw upon the roads, and an effort Is
being made to have the county court
act in the matter at once.
1t is said by residents of that dis
trict that the new road on the hillside
in the South Cold Spring canyon is in
bad condition and that as an enor-
nous amount Of travel passes over it
in hauling the crops to this city and
other nearby stations, something
should be done at once to improve its
condition.
Later in the fall, after the crops are
all threshed and hauling begins, it is
hoped that the court will straw the
entire distance from the head of the
canyon to Cold Springs station, on
the o. r. & n. distance of about IA
miles. Most of the wheat from that
district is hauled to Cold Springs sta
ton, and the condition of the road is
such that the hauling will be delayed
1t is said If, some kind Of repairs are
not made before that time,
1t is said that one team can straw
one mile of the road per day one foot
deep in straw. where the straw is
within one mile of the road, so the
cost of placing it upon the road is not
heavy and the people feel tlat If they
furnish the material free. the county
should place 1t upon the road.
In the opinion of the residents OF
that section one thorough strawing
from one foot to IS inches in depth
would make an excellent road Of it
for a full year, when the treatment
could be repeated at small cost.

Died of Dlphtheria.

The 14-months-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Mclaughlin Of this city,
died this morning in Portland, after
a two weeks illness with diphtheria,
contracted on the train while going
to Portland. Mrs. Mclaughlin went
down two weeks ago to visit the fair
and the child Immediately took sick
on their arrival in Portland, and a few
days ago it became very much worse
and Mr.. Mclaughlin, who is cashier
for the o. r. & N company in this
city, was called there by wire. The
child was not exposed here, and the
supposition is that 1t was exposed
while on the train, as 1t was taken
sick soon after reaching Portland.

Well Known Pendleton Implement
Dealer Speaks of Crops.

A. Kunkel, the well known agent
of the Peerless traction engine, was
an arrival in the city yesterday from
the Asotin country, where he has been
looking over the crop conditions of
that country.
'I visited the Montgomery and
Weissenfelss and the Asotin flat coun-
try" said Mr.. Kunkel last night, land
have never seen a better outlook for
crops in any country. 1 am told a
conservative estimate for the yield OF
wheat in that section will be 80 BUSH
els to the acre, and this is not an ex-
traordlnary yield. George Appleford
assures me that the country has been
giving about that yield for the past
six or seven years, but the yield would
have been larger this season had II
not been for the warm weather OF
two weeks ago. In the timber and on
the breaks of the Grand Ronde river
some damage will result. which will
reduce the yield for the county"

GOOD RESTAURANT TRADE.
Two Popular Places Are Doing an I'm
mense Business for Dull Season.


Both the French restaurant and
Mrs. Cooper's restaurant in the st.
George building, are doing an i'm
mense business, although it Is one of
the dullest months ever experienced
in the city because of so many people
being at the Lewis and Clark fair,
and at the various summer resorts.
These popular restaurants are modern
and up-to-date, and country patrons
and transients as we'll as those from
the city receive excellent service at
both places.
1t is said that the best 25 cent
meals served anywhere in the Inland
Empire are served at these places.
Better service than can be had for
80 and so cents at many alleged first
class hotels, is to be had at these
places. Travelling men are changing
from the so cent houses, largely to
such popular resorts as these mem
toned.

Accident to Power Plant.

Manager F. w. Vincent, of the
electric light and power service in
this city, says the failure of the cleo
trio power to reach this city on Sun
day, was due to an accident to the
machinery at the plant near Milton,
and not to any desire to oppress the
city because of the Sunday closing or
dinance. It happened that the acci-
dent occurred on Sunday and he re-
grets very much the fact that the

If you did what would you say OF

rid of Dandruff and to prevent Bald
ness by feeding the germs which cause
1t, with Canthrarides. Vasellne, Glycer-
