'THE SUNNY SIDE
OF BROADWAY

II has been generally acknowledged
by critics that the popularity of a
musical comedy depends in large
measure on the coherency of its
plot and that while the music may
save a piece with a poor plot from
immediate failure it cannot carry it
to success. The writer's of the book
Of The Sunny Side of Broadway
have evidently borne this point well
In mind, and it has a well defined
story as well as music and lyrics of
a high order. The choruses, ensem-
bles and lyrical numbers are of type
that make a general appeal to theater
, goers. and the entertainment through
out sparkles with snappy comedy and
tuneful melody. Max Bloom, the
leading funmaker, is surrounded with
an able company of singing comedi-
ans with a splendid chorus of pretty
and shapely show girls. One of the
gems of the many song hits that will
be heard in the production is Rain
ing" 1t is a genuine classic and will
doubtless be received with much ap-
plause during the engagement of
"The Sunny Side of Broadway at the
Oregon theater, Monday, October %.

NEWSPAPER MAN WILL
WRITE UP PROJECT
(sneclal Correspondence. ]

Hermiston, oct. 1S.--A. d. Cridge.
associate editor Of the Labor Press OF
Portland, stopped off to view Herms-
ton and the project the first Of the
week. He was at one time a printer
and publisher in Echo, and knows
many of the old settlers who are To-
Gated in this valley and expressed him
self as much pleased with the growth
and development Of the town.
Mr.. Cridge drove over the ground
when there were only the reclamation
buildings and a small store or two.
The things that impressed him most
were the substantial buildings that
lifts Hermiston out Of the shack town
class. the thorough manner in which
the laterals are constructed and the
rapid growth of trees which were
twigs when he was here two years ago.
He inquired particularly into the reg
ulations of the government to discour-
age the idle speculator and prophesled
still greater development in the future
than in the past, along the lines OF
permanent and solid growth of the
town.
Crldge is by nature booster and
does not have to be shown everything
in sight in order to realize what is
awaiting the small investor in an irri-
gated country, and will write several
descriptive articles on irrigation and
the results obtained therefrom to be
published in eastern papers.

HERE IS A REAL
DYSPEPSIA CURE
NO INDIGESTION, GAS OR
HEARTBURN IN FIVE MINUTES
A Little Diapepsln Now Will Make
Your Out-of- Order Stomach Feel
Fine-Digests All Your Food Loav-
ing Nothing TO Ferment and Sour.

The question as to how long you
are going to continue a sufferer from
Indigestion, dyspepsia or out-of-order
stomach is merely a matter of how
soon you begin taking some Diapep-
sin
If your stomach is lacking in diges-
tive power, why not help the stomach
to do its work, not with drastic drugs,
but reinforcement of digestive
agents, such as are naturally at work
in the stomach.
People with weak stomachs should
take q little Diapepsin occasionally,
and there will be no more indigestion,
no feeling like a lump of lead in the
stomach. no heartburn, sour risings,
gas on stomach or belching of undi-
gested food, headaches, dizziness or
sick stomach, and besides, what you
eat will not ferment and poison your
breath with nauseous odors. All
these symptoms resulting from a sour
out-of-order stomach and dyspepsia
are generally relieved five minutes af-
ter taking a little Diapepsin.
Go to your druggist and get So
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now,
and you will always go to the table
with hearty appetite. and what you
eat will taste good, because your
stomach and intestines will be clean
and fresh, and you will know there
are not going to be any more bad
nights and miserable days for you.
They freshen you and make You feel
like life is worth living.
