TO read the wild west stories of In
dians and cowboys and glory in the
time when we would don our hunting
suit, shoulder our "old trusty" rifle,
and go forth to kill the grizzly bear
and fight the Indians.
But those days are past forever. Not
that adventure has gone from the
land. but the Indians are living on
reservations peaceful and lawabiding
now; and the grizzly has gone to al
most extinction. But what about this
prairie schooner? Where's the story ?
What's all this talk about anyway?
Here's the secret. It's about sum

incident part was we'll to the forefront.
The schooner In question was fitted
up by Bob Fletcher. a local fellow
who rides spotted horse much OF
the time when not taking care OF the
circulation work OF the East Oregon
ian, and who also plays trap drums
and blows several different kinds OF
horns. He conceived the plan OF
spending a trip in the open. living the
simple life; talking newspaper bust

covered. He passed through three
different counties. stopping in many
towns and at many ranches along the
way. He traversed plain and noun
tain; hill and valley; verdant vale and
barren waste. And everywhere he
went he found anxious persons want
Ing to know about the Roundup.
The prairie schooner was fitted out
to carry all the necessities OF living.
There was a covered grub box, which
when opened formed a table. Shelves
and compartments were arranged
neatly to hold things. a small tent
was used at night in which to sleep.
1t was rigged alongside the wagon.
With this outfit. and two weeks of
leisure ahead, 1t was possible to make
35 or 40 miles a day.
As said, the party set out on the
seventh of August. The first stop
was made at Pilot Rock. which with
its new buildings and business hustle
IS considerable different from the
Pilot Rock of former days. Then
came Nye and finally Vinson. Here
is the home of Donald Ross, who Is
large sheep owner and the party
stopped for visit.
Vinson was left next morning and
the journey that day took the party
to Lena. then on to Heppner via the
famous Franklin" grade. At Hep
pner the party stopped two days and
nights.

county seat OF Morrow county. was

cemetery and being interested in
things historical, allowed his footsteps
to stray among the broken slabs and
tombstones. AS he turned TO leave,
a lady, well advanced in middle years
approached him from across the
graveyard and inquired IL he sought
some particular grave. Upon him
explaining his only general interest,
she told him OF how she had many
times OF late searched amid those
ruined monuments for the grave OF a
girlhood friend. Together the two
searched again for the lost spot and,
finally on a fragment OF marble half
buried beside a weed grown mound,
they found the name Of Dora Luney
scarcely traceable. The sight OF II
brought back flood Of remembrances

infinitesimal part of the history which
lies buried within those many tombs.

few remaining of those who knew the
man who bore it can tell how the
hand of death interposed to prevent
the attainment OF an ambition just as
its gates were reached Elected to
represent his state in the national con-
gress he died before he could take
his seat. What his political adver-
saries could not accomplish in long
and strenuous battle, the grim reaper
effected with one fell blow. Walking
on Main street with Major Moor
house after a successful consumma-
ton of his campaign, weakened and
worn by the long strain of worry and
labor, he suddenly collapsed and his
unconscious form was born to his
home. where he soon expired. Thus

A MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Who Are "Just Ready to Drop"

Who Are "Just Ready to Drop"
When you are "just ready to drop"
when you feel SO weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about-and be-
cause you have not slept well, you
get I'D as tired-out next morning as
when you went to bed, you need help.
Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma
lone, N. Y, saying: g" was in a bad
ly rundown condition for several
weeks but two bottles of Vinol put
me on my feet again and made me
strong and well Vinol has done me
more good than all the other medi-
cines / ever took"
If the careworn, rundown women,
the pale, sickly children and feeble
old folks around here would follow
Miss Dumas example, they, too, would
soon be able to say that Vinol, our
delicious cod liver and iron remedy,
had built them up and made them
strong.
1t is a wonderful, strength creator
and body-builder, and we sell it un-
der a guarantee of satisfaction. You
get your money back If Vinol does
not help you.
p. S.. For any skin trouble try our
Saxo Salve. We guarantee it.

Nursing the Raby.

A baby should always be nursed by
it's mother, unless the mother has tu-
herculosis or some other grave dis
ease. The mother saves herself trou-
BILE by nursing her baby. When she
figures up the saving from diminish
ed illness an dadds to it the trouble
OF fixing the baby's bottle during dur
ing the night as we'll as the day, she
finds that she nets a gain by nursing
her baby.
During the first two days the baby
should be nursed four times a day and
once at night. From the third day to
six weeks the baby should be nursed
every two hours during the day and
twice at night; from six weeks to six
months every three hours and once at
hight; from six months to a year, six
times between 6 o'clock a. m. and 10
o'clock p. m, and not at all during the
night.
In addition to milk, babies require
water from the very first. The old
granny who gave the baby teas was
a pretty good scientist, though she
did not know it. Of course. the herbs
which she used to make the tea had
10 particular effect, but she was CIV
A@S TN SSOS. SNNAA $4,000 $1,000 -
and that was as it should be.
After about the second month the
taby should have some orange Juice
every day. The juice should be given
freed from pulp. The amount should
b< gin with two te%aspoonfuls a day
and should be gradually increased to
four tablespoonful, especially where
there is a tendency to constipation.
Il SC no1I0h hnffor 10 rolioU0 -nnnCfino-
ton with orange juice than by enemas,
and certainly than by medicine. since
tables need a little fruit juice to or
rect any tendency to scurvy and rick
cts.
That the mother may give enough
milk to supply the baby, it is neces-
sary that she be free from worry and
not called upon to do a great amount
of physical labor. Emotion has more
effect on the secretion of milk than
does the food taken. Occasionally u
woman will overeat until she becomes
obese trying to give milk enough for
her baby, and then worry so, fearing
her milk will fail, that she gains moth
ing for her trouble.
There ore no special foods which
make milk. Beer does not; neithe'
does milk. SOm6 WOLl6u nave lily
idea that milk taken as a food runs
without much change into milk for the
baby. This is not correct. A mother
should eat good, nutritious, simple,
staple food containing a good deal of
fluids.
That which she eats does not go
directly to milk. 1t is digested and
changed chemically thereby. 1t is OBJ
sorbed and still further changed.
Eventually it is changed into milk.
She should increase the quantity of
food eaten, since, for her W use,
she needs more than she usually
does, and. in addition. she is eating
70 rthe baby.
The average nursing one
taby can supply the child with food
out of her surplus if she will keep
her mind calm, her rest ~unbroken,
and not have too much work to do.
The average woman who thinks she
cannot nurse her baby can do so II
she will try.-Dr. w. A. Evans in Chi
