Shipping Eggs Eastward.

AS conclusive proof that the climate
and other conditions of this section,
of eastern Oregon are conducive to
the production OF the very best quail
ity OF chickens is the fact that locar
breeders are daily gaining more than
n local reputation. A significant
shipment Of eggs for Matching was
made yesterday by e. F. Averill when
he sent a setting of eggs from his
prize winning Buff Orpingtons to
ogden, Utah. Another setting will
be sent by this same breeder to Spo-
kane, Washington, to a prominent
poultryman who after a visit to the
Averill yards pronounced the Pen
dleton mans chickens TO be the best
he had seen in the inland empire.
other breeders of standard bred
chickens in this vicinity are gaining
almost as great reputation for
themselves and this section with their
birds. In the past Pendleton chick
en- fanciers have thought It necessary
to send east for birds and eggs to i'm
prove their flocks but 1t seems the
tide Is about to turn.

"The best meeting the county un-
ion has ever held" This is the way
in which members of the farmers
union speak of the session they held
at Secret Society hall yesterday and
which was we'll attended by farmers
from all parts of the county.
Aside from the address by Prof.

he devoted his time to the work he
is doing for the union. F. A. Sykes
state secretary, was another speaker.
C. c. Connor, past president of the

insurance company.
During the business meeting of the
union Manuel Friedly, who is head
of the Farmers insurance company,
was delegated as a committee of one
TO ask the county court to call a meet
ing of the road supervisors of the
county. 1t is the desire to hold such
a convention so that the supervisors
may be given instructions that will
prevent any of them from working at
cross purposes.

the district fair association the un-
ion named two men as candidates for
membership on the district fair board

Negro Claims to Be Greek.

During the grand jury's investiga-
ton of the boxcar robbery, there were
many Greeks present and an inter-
prefer became necessary. One was Sc
cured and he proved to be as black
as the shades of Hades, albeit he
spoke the classic tongue with a great
fluency. He denied emphatically
that he is a negro declaring that he
is q black Greek but finally admitted
that he was born in Kentucky, and
it is a safe bet that his immediate an
cestors picked the cotton blossoms
on an old plantation in the days of
Uncle Tom and Little Eva.

CATARRH
A specific BLOOD IMpURTY

Catarrh is deep-seated blood dis
ease, one which no amount of local
treatment will ever permanently cure.
The beneficial effects of washes,
sprays, inhalations, ETC., are only
temporary, and when left off the old
condition returns, because the blood
is infected with catarrhal matter and
impurities. This impure condition
of the circulation irritates and in
flames the delicate mucous mem
branes and tissues and produces the
well known symptoms of ringing
noises in the head and ears, mucus in
the throat, headaches, watery eyes,
partial deafness, sore throat, general
impairment of health, etc. This con-
dition will remain, growing worse as
long as the catarrhal matter is al
lowed to remain in the blood. Being
aspecific blood impurity, there is only
one way to cure Catarrh, and that is
to purify the blood. Nothing equals
