TAKING ON NEW LIFE TOWN OF IJiXnUTON IS ON TIIK iriovi?. Surrounded by a Rich .Agricultural District A I'rospcrout Co in in ii ii it)'. t Lexington, Oct. 26. In keeping in touch with the rapid in crease in agricultural development and the steady and solid growth of Morrow c.unty, the little city of Lexingto is taking on new life after a long siege of quietude. Lexington is beautifully located in a rich Valley of Willow creek. Being on the line of the Heppner branch of the O.K. .t N., the town has railroad con nection with the outside world. Lexington has many beautiful homes, with shade and fruit trees and other pleasant surroundings. The town is looking up. Improvements are going on. Buildings are being painted, giving the little city a thrifty appearance. Like lone ani other wheat centers, this is the busy season. The roads leading to Lexington are lined with teams loaded with wheat, and where the products of the farm are marketed, the farmers are sure to do more or less trad ing. I visited the Pecland warehouse is charge of W. P. McMillan. This is one of the largest grain warehouses in the county, and in taking care of the big wheat crop is doing a "land office" business. Mr. McMillan is a thorough warehouseman and is geting his full share of the wheat business. Lexington will this season have 160, 000 bushels of wheat for export The town is surrounded by a rich country. Like the Eight Mile and other wheat district", Hp to within a few years ago, this land had little or no value. It was considered worthless for anything but range land, but with proper cultivation, ,it has proven' to be very productive. I talked with Geo. Turner, one of the progressive larmers of the Lexington district. A few years ago Mr. Turner bought land for $2 an acre. It is now 1AIACU M .MHV iim:ic. November 2, VM2.

The country contiguous to Lexington is capable of producing an immense amount of wheat and other cereals. All it needs is more farmers, and I might add, more cultivation. Several farms have changed hands in the vicinity of Lexington lately. People are coming in and they will con tinue to come in to take advantage of the cheap lands. Mo better lands are selling today in other portions of the state of Oregon for from $15 to $50 an acre. In the town of Lexington, Nichols & Leach have the principal store. This store would be a credit to any town much larger than Lexington. They have just moved into a large building which is being repainted and fitted up. Tbev are doing a big business and have a large and very complete general stock. A noticeable feature upon entering Lexington, is the public school building. Standing prominently upon a slight ele vation, it is a monument to the enter prise of the citizens. A neat, roomy and comfortable building with a good public school is a good recommendation for any town. This is one of the at tractive features of Lexington. Lexington has two churches, the M. . church, South, and the Congrega tional. ' Several new business enterprises will be launched in Lexington in the near future. A new grocery store is to be put in right away. There is talk of a drug Btore, and a newspaper. With the sure advancement of Mor row county, Lexington and surrounding country will increase in population, for the natural resources of this district are as great as in any other portion of the county. I predict that some day this will be a populous district, for it has the country to back it up. The soil is fertile, easily worked and ready for the plow. Along Willow creek and wherever water can be obtained in the vicinity of Lexing ton, alfalfa can be grown in great quani ties. Right in the town surrounding many of the comfortable homes are fine fruit trees. I noticed that the apple trees were hanging full of as fine apples as I ever saw growing. With proper attention this would be a good fruit country. At one place our friend Attorney S. . Notson was engaged in picking apples. He was using a noyel machine to do the work, and it was entirely of his own in vention, but out of respect to a promise the machine will not be described here. The Lexington district can be recom mended as a good country, which will build up the town of Lexington. F. W. Old People Have Their Troubles. Mr. Francis Little of BeDton Harbor, Mich., is over eighty years of age. Since 1865 he bas been troubled more or less with indigestion and constipation and bas tried almost everything in use for those ailments. Last August be began using Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver tablets and was soon feeling much bet ter. In a recent letter be says, "1 have used three boxes of the Tablets and now think I am well." These Tablets im prove the appetite and invigorate the slomacb, liver and bowels. For sale by Slooum Drug Co. Everything is moving rapidly at the Amalgamated Sugar Company's factory at La Grande. About 9000 tons of beets have been received up to date, of which 7000 tons htve been ground up. The percentage of sugar saved is about 13 to 14 per cent a very high average. A new beet-shed has just been erect ed to accommodate the increase in delivery of beets, and will soon be filled with the loads which are pouring in from all parts of the valley.

The recent ceneaB, of Ireland shows a marked deorease in its population wbioh bas been largely attributed to the famine throughout the island, caus ing the death of thousands of people, and forcing many others to emigrate. This brings to mind quite forcibly the absolute necessity of having plenty of good food if we would prolongue life, bat after all it is pot a question of the amount eaten that makes the people strong and healthy, bnt the way it is digested. Dyspeptic people cannot en joy tbeir meals, and consequently al ways feel depressed, irritable and ner vous. Tney should try Hostetter's Stoiusob bitters si once. It is a sped flo remedy for flatulency, belcbiog, in digestion, dyspepsia and nervousness, and is backed by a reoord of fifty years of cares.
