HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Durability of Wallpaper to be Con
sidered.

When selecting a wallpaper it is
well to give due consideration to the
durability as we'll as the beauty and
style. In large cities, where the
rooms are often small in size, light
colors are suitable because they add
to the effect OF distance" whereas
a dark paper closely covered with a
large, glaring design makes the
whole room appear somewhat like
the interior of bandbox lined with
cretonne.
Do not put a paper having red
shades in room where the sunshine
gets in during the greater part of
the day; the best paper for those
walls is one having a small pattern,
say cream white paper with tiny
gold design, or, for living or reading
rooms, sage green paper is excel
lent taste and very sensible because
it will outlast any other color for
genral wear.
Soft yellow shades are lovely
where you intend to hang many pic
lures, and are especially adaptable
for dining rooms where there is a
wainscoting of either white or dark
wood. Striped papers make a room
look brighter, and papers that have
small horizontal figures give cozy
effect to the apartment.
A light rose shade or pale gray
paper is beautiful on the bedroom
walls; 1t is both dainty in appear
ance and brings out the beauty of
the other furnishings, whether they
be elaborate or simple.
Care is necessary in order to pre-
vent the wallpaper from being 'the
whole thing" Remember that the
original purpose of wallpaper was to
serve as a background for the arti
cies in the room and not as a decora-
ton. If the paper is bold in design
and bright in color do not hang any
pictures on the wall; let the paper be
seen.

WARRANT FOR DEAD MAN.
Four Live Medfordites and One Dead
One Arrested for Leaving
Fire in Forests.

Warrants we're served Tuesday on
Basil Gregory, Dr. E. R. Seeley, Will
Muller, M. S. Biden and Shorty Miles
charging them with leaving a fire
burning on hunting trip to the
Grassy Range country two years ago.
A warrant was also issued for E. c.
Hart, but as he had committed sui
eide some months ago it was not
issued.
The defendants claim that the fire
was extinguished and that photos OF
the steaming rocks, where water had
been thrown on the fire, was the
basis of the arrest.

Health a Factor in Success.

The largest factor contributing to
mans success is undoubtedly
health. 1t has been observed that a
man is seldom sick when his bowels
are regular-he is never we'll when
they are constipated. For constipa-
tion you will find nothing quite so
good as Chamberlain Tablets. They
not only move the bowels but i'm
prove the appetite and strengthen
the digestion. They are sold by all
dealers.

The Talent Tidings
.

Talent Defeated in Snappy Game.
Mail Tribune: The game Sunday
between Talent and Shorty's veterans
was a most agreeable surprise to the
fans who braved the elements.
Probably on account of the wind
and rain the boys seemed in hurry
to finish and played such fast ball
that the first five innings only took
25 minutes and the game was over
in one hour and 8 minutes, making
it the fastest game played on the
local grounds.
In the first four innings only 12
men came to bat on each side-no
hits, no runs. Rudy Schultz, with his
home run, and Coffeen and Boltz in
left field showed up well alongside
the old timers and the whole team
played good snappy ball, which was
true of the Talent team also.
The fact that there were only 10
/ hits and II strike-outs and only six
left on bases is sufficient indication
trat both teams showed some classy
fielding, and the work on the mound
was good on both sides, only one pass
being given and that in the ninth
when the game was practically over.
There were no scratch hits, both
Rudy and Shorty clouting the ball
over the fence and the other hits
being clean drives.
The score: R. H. E

investigating Water Rights,

l.. ID. Rowland, representative
Of Water Commissioner Cochran,
has returned to La Grande, hay
ing given the water users Of this
section the allotted period to i'm
spect the claims fled for water
on Silvies River. During the
time he was here the Water
Users Association had a COM
mittee consisting of Sam Mothers
head, II. c. Levens, X. X. Sitz,
Dan Varien and j. G. Foley to 20
over the claims and they are to
make report at a meeting OF the
Association today. 1t is given
out that some conflicting rights
were found among the water
users but none of a serious char
acter that would likely lead 10
litigation among them.
The problem will be the claims
of the large holders of land along
the river and it Is the opinion OF
many that the smaller users will
have to stand together to secure
an equitable distribution of the
water for irrigation purposes.
At best this will be a long drawn
out contest and the spirit Of give
and take should prevail as pre-
sent conditions are not salts
factory and the sooner the rights
are definitely settled the sooner
the development of the countr,
and the lands served placed in
state where they will yield thu
best returns.

Advertise to Hold Business

II A year or 50 ago National
4 Biscuit company spent $50, 600
in one year in advertising in
HNew York City, where they
already had 98,per cent of the
\ business. When asked the rea-
/ son for expending this big sum
Hin one place where they already
llhad the business they said it
was to hold their business.
The object of advertising is
\ not only to get business but
/ TO hold business.
1t is folly fora merchant to
Il have the idea that because his
\ business is running smoothly
II today it will continue so with
out proper effort back OF the
| business. The power that
built up a business is needed
/ to keep it going and more
\ business sagacity is needed
4 each year. Every year sees
i new and changing conditions
! and forces in business. The
4 merchant must be ever watch
|l full and gain every particle of
4 knowledge possible in regard
f to his business.
Nothing is so important to
his business as advertising,
because it supplies the informa-
I ton the public wants. The
\ people are looking for every
/ particle of information about
4 goods that will add to their
comfort and happiness.
The merchant who is back
J ward about telling of those
! things that will give the in
! dividual greater comfort will
find his business going to the
I more successful merchant who
! is not backward in giving the
! people the information they
crave. Advertising is con-
stantly creating and satisfying
wants.
1t is likewise folly for a
merchant to be peeved over
competition. A merchant t
should get ahead and stay
ahead of competition by carry
ing such a stock of goods,
adopting such advertising
methods, etc., that will place
his store in the lead. Then
competition will not bother
him, trade will come to him
ahd old customers will stay by
Nhim.

If your team will haul 250C
pounds in July when the roads
are at their best and only 1000
pounds when the roadsare muddy.
how much tax are you paying for
bad roads? You are paying 1900
pounds for each trip. Why is il
the freight rates advance in the
winter? If you live in Canyon
City and haye freight hauled in
the summer it will cost 20 cents
a hundred but if you wait until
the roads get bad you may pay
as high as so cents a hundred.
This is a tax for bad roads.
Would it not be better to pay a
tax for good roads rather than
pay for bad roads. Bad roads
cost more than good roads. You
object to interest on bonds with
which to build good roads and
yet are content to pay a higher
rate of interest on bad roads.
The decreased load over bad
roads is the interest on the $25. =
600 which is spent annually to
maintain the bad road. You get
double shot" with a bad road
because you haye to pay more to
haul over it and pay more in
taxes to maintain it.-Blue Mt.
Eagle.

Greatest Country Out Doors

Melvin E. Ballard and Charles
f. Reeves have been looking
over this big Valley during the
past week in company with Frank
Johnson of the Oregon & West
ern Colonization Co.. and as a
result it is quite likely several
townships of this fertile section
will be taken over by a colony of
people. These gentlemen repre-
sent a large number of Norman
families and as they are familiar
with the Salt Lake Valley see
wonderful possibilities here.
Both are most fayorably. Impress
ed with the country and will
certainly make a favorable re-
port.
They have secured data re-
specting the irrigation possibili-
ties and Mr.. Ballard is a very
practical soil man. He is entirely
satisfied with conditions and Mr..
Reeves. who is an attorney con-
nected with the work of Mr.. Bal
lard in securing locations for
families, says in his extensive
travels over the West he knows
of no other place where such a
magnificent body Of undeyeloped
land may be had at reasonable
prices.
