DENIES HERMnsTON STORY.
j. +. Mcknight Says Blacksmith
Shop Is Not Being Removed to
East Side of Railroad Track.

J. F. Mcknight, the pioneer set
tier and business man of Hermiston,
is in the city today and to the East
Oregonian this afternoon emphati-
cally denied the story published in
the Prndleton morning paper to the
effect that the Grant building had
been purchased by William Binham
and would be moved to the east side
of the D. r. & n. track.
Mr. Mcknight says that no trans
fer of the Grant building has been
made and that Mr.. Grant is conduct
ing a successful blacksmith and re-
pair shop and is doing a good busi-
ness.
He cannot understand the motive
of the morning paper in publishing
stories detrimental to the interests
of development of Hermiston and re-
grets that the item should have been
given publicly.
He says that Hermiston is rapidly
growing and that many new set
tiers are arriving there every week.

in the club rooms Saturday afternoon
at o'clock to discuss ways and means
Of importing a large number Of farm
hands.
1t was suggested that by the farmers
organizing and sending a representa-
tive to the state of the middle west,
enough good men could be secured to
provide the farmers with the help for
which there is such an immediate de-
mand.
This plan will be presented to the
mass meeting Saturday afternoon, and
some of the farmers present were Of
the opinion that the employers would
be only too willing to provide a fund
for the purpose Of establishing farm
ers' employment bureau and sending a
competent man to the east in order to
secure a large number Of reliable agri-
culturalists.
The wages in the Walla Walla val
ley are far in excess of that paid in
the east and middle west and it is be-
lieved that with an employment agent
in the field. no trouble will be exper-
fenced in bringing about an immigra-
ton of necessary laborers.

already coming into Morrow county
after cattle with which to stock their
depleted ranges, says the Rural
Spirit That state looks largely to
Oregon for young cattle and breeding

heavy losses the past winter will Gre
ate a demand for all the cattle Ore

DEAF MUTES WILL WORK.
Superintendent Ackerman VIII Es-
tahlish New System of Training.

The Salem Statesman says of a
new scheme of training at the state
deaf mute school:
An innovation in the training Of
the boys and girls at the state school
for deaf mutes has just been insti-
tuted by Superintendent of Public
Instruction Alderman, which prom
ises to be a very beneficial one, from
an educational as well as a psysical
standpoint.
Each child old enough to work out
of doors, will be given small strip
of ground. to be their own, ard will
be furnished with potatoes and other
vegetable seeds. With hoes, rakes
and shovels provided by the state
they will be required to raise their
own little gardens.
When the produce is ready for the
market. the hovs will dig up the good
things. send them to the local deal
ers, ard receive the proceeds there
from. which they will be required to
yut in the bank. Each boy will be
furnished with a hank book. and be
taught how to take care of his mon
ey.
The boys will all be required to do
this work. but 1t is not compulsory
with the girls. The experiment prom
ises to be a very interesting one, as 1t
embraces some of the manual train
ing elements which is carried on in
most of the public schools nowadays.

WILL IMPORT HELP
WALLA WALLA FARM
HELP is SCARCE.
Farmers Combining to Send East to
Secure Laborers for the Wheat Dis
tricts-Mass Meeting VIII Be Held
Next Saturday-High Wages Will
Be Paid for Help.

So sharp is the demand for farm
representative farmers have planned
meeting for next Saturday for the
purpose of discussing the advisability
of sending agents east to secure help
for the Walia Walla district. The
Walla Walla Union says Of the move
ment:
In order to secure the necessary la
Dor to put in the crops in the Walla
Walla valley this spring, it is propos-
ed by the Commercial club that the
farmers send out representatives into
the highways and byways of Iowa,
Illinois, Missouri and other states of
the middle west and compel the
husky corn huskers to come to the
feast of good things prepared for
them in this land of plenty.
At the meeting of the club last night
the problem of providing labor for
the farmers was suggested and in a
very few minutes there developed an
experience meeting, some of the mem
bers present telling of the many trials
they had suffered at the hands of the
employment agents, and the tribula-
tions through which they had passed
while dealing with laborers.
A committee composed of P. NJ.
Winans, Thomas Drumheller and NJ.
H. Paxton was appointed to arrange
for a mass meeting of the farmers of
the valley to consider ways and means
of relieving the situation.
The committee went into session
Immediately and in a few minutes re-
ported that it had been decided to call
a meeting of the farmers to be held

WEAK STOMACH
CAUSES SICKNESS

CAOSfS SINhNboo
Different Symptoms That Result
from IndigestIOn-IIow to Cure by
Strengthening the Stomach.
If you have ever suffered with a
weak stomach you must realize that
the digestive system is to the body
what the foundation is to the house
he base Of support and strength.
Whatever hurts your stomach or
lessons its power, hurts all other
parts of the body and impairs their
powers If the stomach Is weak and
distressed, one organ after another
will be involved until the heart, kid
neys and liver are all distressed,
Get the stomach right and the
health will naturally come to the
other organs. This explains why
good many people who have doctor
ed for years for diseases of the heart,
kidneys or liver, have at last been
cured by Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
They found to their astonishment
and happiness that, when the weak
stomach was strengthened their
health returned, the heart became
regular, the torpid liver active and
the kidneys healthy.
Do not think we clam Mi-o-na is
"cure-all." 1t is not. 1t is a spe-
cific for all distresses of the stom-
ach, and when it strengthens the
stomach and cures indigestion, you
will soon be well all over without
further medicine.
Mi-o-na is sold only in soc boxes,
never in bulk. 1t is sold under an
absolute guarantee by Tallman &
Co. to refund money unless it cures.
