THERE'S NONE BETTER.
Cement Deposits Near This City
Best in the World.


OF its cement deposits as there is none
better on the face of the globe. This
seems like a broad assertion but
it can be easily backed up by repeated
tests of experts who pronounce it so
The great value of the Florence
formation, which distinguishes it
from all other largely used cement
bodies in America, consists in Its
chemical and physical character.
There is a small trace of magnesia
present, it is true. but the most
valuable feature is its almost purity
from carbonate of magnesia. What
little magnesia that is found, lies in
the form of silicate of msgnesia
When go combined q small amount
of magnesia DOES not lnjure the ce-
ment. as it will not combine with
water or acids But when present as
carbonate it forms magnesia oxide
in burning. aud in the presence of an
excess Of lime remains caustic In the
cement and instead OF crvstalizing in
hydration it swells. or tends to do
no, which exerts a tension in the ce.
ment which in time weskens it to the
point OF easy disin.eRration.
A most notable feature In the
cretaceous material near here is the
exact proportioninR OF the chemical
components proper and desirable both
for quality nf cement and facility of
manufacturing. Another vast nd.
vantage resides In the fact that this
formation il a comparatively modern
one and the substance originally de-
posted in gelstipous form. free
frou grit, has never Teen exposed to
heat and pressure to metamorphose It
into crystalline rock Of inert or refrso-
tory character. These qualities IN.

The o. r. & n. car famine is hav-
ing its effect on Baker stock ship
ments. As a result of the lack of
cars. b. F. Saunders, the big Utah
sheep king, has been forced to feed
10000 head of Baker county sheep at
Baker City, while he awaited the con-
venience of the o. r. & N, or its
ability to furnish the cars promised
him weeks ago.
The shipment of the sheep is the

over the flocks, placed upon them his
approval and they are now after a
long delay where they We're in the

Cured OF Bright's Disease.

Mr.. Robert o. Burke, Elnora, N. Y.
writes: Before I started to use Fo-
ley's Kidney Cure I had to get up
from IL to 20 times night, and was
all bloated up with dropsy and my
eyesight was so impaired could
scarcely see one Of my family across
the room. I had given up hope Of

bottle worked wonders and before I
had taken the third bottle the dropsy
had gone, as well as all other symp-

Accuses Fathcr-in-Law of Theft.
s.ssssssssssesssss'

on a charge of breaking into the
house of James Gibson while he was
away from home and stealing S140o,
which was locked in a trunk, Mr.
Beasley. fathcr-in-law of Gibson, is
today before Justice J. F. Edwards.
He Is defended by Attorney a. j.
Green, and John Green is conducting
the prosecution for Gibson.
The trial is developing into an air
ing of family troubles, present and
past. Little evidence of direct ma
ture has been submitted, and the case
at present seems to hinge on the
point of Whether horse tracks seen In
front of the house the next day were
made by n horse ridden by Beasley.
The prosecution contends that there
was a peculiar cork on the shoe of
horse owned by Beasley, and that the
horses tracks in front of the house
bore the print of this particular cork.

Seven Carloads of Hons,

A. e. Poole & Co. have bought the
500 bales of hops OF George S. Ran

The firm loaded seven cars of $50
bales which are waiting in the yards
here to be sent to the east.
The hop market is very quiet.

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook,
It will not be fair for many to lay
the blame on the cook IL they begin
the Christmas dinner with little APP
petite and end it with distress or
nausea. 1t may not be fair for any
to do that-let us hope so for the
sake of the cook! The disease dys-
pepsia indicates bad stomach, that
is a weak stomach, rather than a bad
cook, and for a weak stomach there
is nothing else equal to Hoods Sar-
saparilla. 1t gives the stomach vigor
and tone, cures dyspepsia, creates APP
petite, and makes eating the pleasure
it should be.
