success and crcditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy OF
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetcns and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, As it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug

T. j. Skaggs. editor of Rocky
Mountain Resources" of Colorado
Springs, was at Sanford week
ago. His journal is said to have a
state and national reputation and
will contain in the next monthly
issue a voluminous write up of
Sanford and its immediate vicinity.
The ball in the opera hall given
by the Civic Improvement League
last Friday was not so well attend
ed as the dances have generally
been of late. But for that very
reason it was all the more enjoy
able to those who took part. For
generally the dances here are over
crowded,
Last Tuesday was election day
in Sanford. As there was only
one ticket in the field, there was
no excitement and but little
interest in evidence. G. j. Block
was elected mayor and Anthem
Nelson, Erastus Beck and Heber
Cornum were elected city council
men.
That was a delightful serenade
that greeted the guests of the
Peterson House last Wednesday
evening. 1t was the night of the
Tabernacle choir practice and after
its conclusion a portion of the
choir, with Prof. briggs, essayed
to effect the musical surprise which
was greatly appreciated.
There is somewhat of a scare
prevalent in consequence of the
appearance of that dreaded disease
diphtheria and the schools are
somewhat decimated. There is no
occasion, however, for fear as
rigid qearentiue has been enforced
for over a week, and all exposed
persons have had ample time for
development.
One of the prevalent discom-
moding conditions long expert
enced in this county is to have the
county seat away to the southern
end. No wonder Alamosa has
been in a grumbling mood over
this matter for some time. The
county seat should be transferred
to Sanford or La Jara which are
near the population center of
Conejos county.
Andrew Hansen, of Sanford re-
turning from a trip into the west
mountains, the great Continental
Divide, reports the snow unusually
deep. Travellers on snow shoes
say that there are fully eight feet
of snow on the level at Platora
about 30 miles up the Alamosa
river This prognosticates an
abundance of water this season for
irrigation, with possible floods de
stroying bridges and reservoirs.
The Civic Improvement League,
i'll regular session had meager
attendance last Tuesday. Half the
number present were of the fem
mime gender, ladies now being
eligible for membership. In con-
sequence of the slim turn out little
business was transacted. A motion
was carried providing for a
banquet and ball in the near
future, particulars to be arranged
at the next session of the club.
The matter of petitioning the city
council for an ordinance for the
improvement of Sanford's streets
and sidewalks was laid on the
table, also, until the next meeting
to be held in two weeks.
On the 29th the outgoing city
council held their last monthly
session and transacted closing up
business. All bills presented were
allowed and ordered paid, but the
marshal generously refunded to

M'KAY FARMERS
after UNCLE SAM
Especial Correspondence.)

Mckay, Ore, July 6.-The farmers
and stockmen on upper Mckay have
a grievance against Uncle Sam. In
one of the small gulches running down
to Mckay creek there has been very
bad place for a year.
Originally logs were placed across
this gulch and then covered with
earth. The logs have become rotten
and partly fallen in, so that the place
is quite dangerous at the present
time.
The road supervisor has no juris-
diction as this part of the road is on
the reservation. The matter has
been brought to the attention Of U.
S. Commissioner John HALEY, and
was requested to write the East Ore
gonian concerning the same.
1t is practically impossible to drive
over this hole in the night and has
been since last October.
Since the rains Of last month only
an experienced driver can get across
in daylight. Should another rain
come, or one more log fall in, it.
would stop the stage with Uncle
Sans mall Then Uncle Sam would
unwind about 'steen yards of red tape
with a violent jerk and fix the road
in a hurry.
Altogether, it is very bad hole
that will bear looking into.

! Milton, July 10.-W. A. Allison, a
farmer living about two and one-half
miles east of Milton, has recently dis
I covered a new and very successful
method Of curing alfalfa hay.
Instead of the old way of leaving
eral days after it has been cut, Mr..
+ Allison puts his hay in the barn i'm
mediately by sprinkling salt over it.
He uses about two pounds of salt for
each ton of hay and he says that the
hay keeps and is in perfect condition
as long as if it were allowed to dry
/ in the sun.
Aside from the danger of having
the hay ruined by being rained on
while lying in the field, the salt gives
an additional flavor to the hay which
the horses and cattle like very much
and instead of wasting any of the
hay they will eat all of it.

II WoNDERBERRY.

Mr.. Luther Burbank, the plant Wiz
ard of California, has originated a
wonderful new plant which grows any
where, in any soil or climate, and bears
great quantities of luscious berries all
the season. Plants are grown from
seed, and it takes only three months
to get them in bearing, and they may
be grown and fruited all summer in
the garden, or in pots during the win
ter. 1t is unquestionably the greatest
Fruit Novelty ever known, and Mr..
Burbank has made MI. John Lewis
'Childs, of Floral Park, N. Y, the in
PRODUCER. He says that Mr.. Childs is
one of the largest, b~est-known, fair
est and most reliable Scotsman in
America. Mr.. Childs is advertising
