la GRANDF Is BOOMING.
Richest Section of Oregon and Hope,
to Have 10000 Population.

The La Crande Chronicle in speak
ing of the prospects ahead of La
Grande says: Land in the vicinity of
La Grande is rapidly advancing in
values. Tracts near the city are be-
ing sold to orchardists and gardeners
who will make this portion of the
county q garden spot. Such highly
productive land is known nowhere
else in the west
AS an illustration of the income
from land in this vicinity John Mar
tin, of the Cove, gathered 244O pounds
of Royal Ann cherries from eight
trees or about one-twentieth part of
an acre. At cents per pound this
would amount to about s2440 per
year income from one acre of cher
ries. other lines offer equal advan-
tages.
Several tracts near the city are now
being placed on the market. The elec-
trio belt line will penetrate all these
rich tracts making one continuous
city for miles. La Grande is laying
the foundations for a population of

THE POWER OF STEAM,
Many May See But II Takes Genius to
Realize.

When James Watt saw the steam
causing the kettle lid to jump up and
down he said "There must be power in
that steam that 1t can lift such a
weight"
There was.
Millions prior to him had seen the
same phenomenon and regarded It as
an unexplained mystery.
Recent scientific research has put its
finger on the cause" of Dandruff, Fall
ing Hair. and consequent Badness. and
has unearthed a tiny germ which eats
the life from the roots OF human hair.
Newbro's Herpicide destroys this
germ and consequently restores the
hair to it's natural state.

Mothers Doughnuts

I've just been down to John Dyer's,
boys,
And feeling kind of blue,
thought I'd look in at the store,
To find ont what was new:
When l saw this sign a hanging
Back on the cookie case;'
Here's where you get the doughnr. s
Like mother used to make"
And nice, warm bread at p. m.
Every day you'll see,
And "FAULTLEss" Butter, just ~
And "99" COFFEE.
The gallon cans of pie fruit
l next did espy,
And It made me think of mother,
And of my mothers pies.
A sort or mist shut out the store,
And standin there lstead,
l saw an old white farm house,
With its doors all painted red:
A whiff came through the open door,
Was l sleeping or awake?
The smell was that o. doughnuts,
Like my mother used to make.
But then the old door creaked,
Here's where you get the doughnut,
Like mother used to make"

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some Lar
annie People Know How to Save 1t.

Many Laramie people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kid
neys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are respon-
sible for a vast amount of suffering
and i'll health, but there is no need to
suffer nor to remain IN danger when
all diseases and aches n pains due
to weak kidneys can be quickly and
permanently cured by the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills. Here is the statement
of a Laramie citizen who has reclaimed
good health by the use of this remedy:
John Johnson, night policeman, 357
West Garfield street, Laramie, Wyo.,
says: Before coming here l was en-
ployed as bridge builder, which occu-
patton forced me to be in the water a
great deal Of the time, causing, un.
doubtedly my kidney trouble. When
ever / got my feet wet l was sure to
take cold and it settled in my kidneys
and meant a severe spell of backache.
Bladder trouble also existed, as l had
to arise three or four times during the
night. The secretions were dark and
the passages scalded. l was troubled
this way until l procured Doan's Kid
ney Pills of the Laramie Drug company.
They cured NE of all the pains and
aches. Since that time whenever
feel symptoms of kidney trouble
an appeal to Doan's Kidney Pills never
fails. Two or three doses always ban
ished the trouble"

AUTO MEN ARE GIVING
BOUND BROOK WIDE BERTH

BOUND BROOK, June 1S:-"Loolx
out for Bound Brook" is the word
that was passed around among fast
drivers of automobiles last week on
account of the unpleasant experience
which several of them had Sunday
The authorities down that way have
determined to stop speeding. They
have measured off certain parts of
the road and equipped each member
of the police force with stop watches.
When an automobilist gets within
the restricted territory he is timed,
and if he is exceeding the speed limit
he finds stout wire cable stretched
across the road when he reaches the
end of the measured course He
doesn't run into it, because the re-
sulting complications and injuries to
his machine would be too great.
Then the waiting minion of the law
makes him prisoner, or, if he is
sufficiently well known, accepts his
card and promise to appear when
ever he is wanted to pay the penalty
for his folly.

AGED WOMAN SCARED
BY FIRST TRAIN RIDE.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, June 1S.-
Mrs. Charles Skinner, of Jackson,
seventy years old, took her first ride
on a railroad train Saturday. She
was so frightened that the train was
stopped and she was permitted to
alight, as it was feared that she
would die of fright.
With her son, she started from her
home near Benton, to go to Danville
to visit relatives. They drove to the
Benton station, and there the old
lady, after much persuasion, was in
duced to board the train. When she
saw the landscape moving past and
heard the rumble of the wheels and
felt the motion of the train, she be-
gan to scream and struggled to get
off.
The passengers induced the con-
ductor to stop the train. Mrs. Skin.
ner alighted half mile from the sta
ton, and as soon as she recovered
she walked home.

Outing at Midland Beach Had
DisagreeahIe Ending Yesterday
Passengers Safely Landed
in Small Boats Many
Women and Children.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-Four hun
dred passengers on the steamer Mid
land Beach, which left the Battery in
this city, en- route to Midland Beach,
on the Staten Island shore in the low
er bay, had terrifying experience
last night when the steamer ran
aground on the sand bank just north
of Midland Beach proper. For the
last couple of days misty fog has
made navigation in and about New
York dangerous, excepting in the
middle of the day,
The fog lifted, apparently shortly
before noon yesterday, and all of the
resort steamers resumed their regular
trips. A rain storm set in early last
night of the very light and misty Or
der, and when the steamer got down
toward her landing place, it was i'm
possible for the captain to pick up
the shore signals, and the steamer
went hard and fast on the bar.
The passengers, among whom were
many women, became greatly excited
when they discovered the predica-
ment they were in, and number of
them started to fasten the life pre-
servers about their waists, apparent
ly fearing that the steamer would
sink. The fire call was sounded, and
the crew took up their positions at
the life boats and life raft, while the
captain and his assistants in the pilot
house proceeded to reassure the
frightened crowd.
In a few moments normal condi-
tions were restored, and as it was
seen. to be unlikely that the steamer
could be floated before morning, the
passengers were transferred in small
lboats to the shore. All were landed
safely, and no one was hurt.

The PEACE.

The large Hungarian tenement
house at Eagleswood, which has been
the scene of many fights, fires, MUIR
ders and all kinds of disturbances,
again figures in the police court.
Saturday night dance was being
held, and the participants failing to
recognize the law that says dancing
must stop at p o'clock, were inter
rupted by the police, but no sooner
had the officers disappeared when
pistol shots, screams, and cries of
murder and help alarmed the neigh
borhood.
A number of citizens, who reside
nearby, appeared in the court this
morning and charge was made
against the place as being disorderly.
Recorder Pickersgill promised to
aid the parties in breaking up the
place, which is claimed to be a men
ace to the peace and quiet of the
neighborhood.
The hearing will be held at Z
o'clock tomorrow night.
