Editor Observer,
Dear Editor-
I am now seated in the Union coon
ty Exhibit Department at the Lewis
and Clark lair, which I must say is a
grand affair. The person who does
not visit ths (air some time daring the
summer will tniee one of the oasis in
life tlut baa to be seen to be appreciat
ed. It is worth all It oosts just to see
the grounds and people and to study
human nature and genius, to aay no
thing ol ths many, many grand dis
plays of everything that human gen
ins can produce. Ths words simply
immense, only mildly states it.
From where I sit I cen look upon
the Eastern Oregon Experimental
Station whioh I believe is the best on
ths whole grounds, and every man.
woman and child from Eastern Ore
gon should shout the praises of ths
managemant of tbst institution.
The Union county exhibit is not the
worst on the ground, and many useful
articles are on our tables, but we need
more. I know whereof 1 speak when
I ssy thai if our people will io what
they can, Union county can be made
to shine among the bright stars here
if only each one will do a little. I am
proud of what liittle we bavu here and
say it is equal to any other, do
friends of Union county, get a move
on you and rend your stuff along.
The vitcb tbst Mrs 8 E Williamson
sent is the beet on the erouuds. o
dou't think your little might not be
worth sending, but send it along and
try to get. your neighbors to do like
wise. Now as to accomodations; we are
now looatrd withiu two blocks of the
entrance to the grounds, good rooms
ready furnished for two, at $1 per day.
Meals, more than you can eat for 25
cent. Lunches fiom 10 cents up So
don't be afraid of being rubbed by get
ting too near the firour.de.
We are now having one of the best
of times.
There is not a m k of Hour or any
mao'jtacturtd grains from our county
except from North Powder, so Mr
Miller get a twist ca you and fill up
some of this vacaut tpsce.
The pl gar company have their busi
ness shown bp, from the beet as it
coitus 'rem the field, to the finished
product, ,v,tich bUrnte rrTcbYtun

CATARRH
A UNIVERSAL DISEASE
Catarrh usually begins "with' a cold in
the head, but does not stop there. Tbe
mucous membranes all become inflamed
tnd secrete a filthy, unhealthy matter
which is absorbed by the blood and dis
tributed to all parts of the body. The
patient Is then continually hawking
end spitting, the nose is stopped up,
the ears have a ringing or buzzing noise,
the throat becomes sore, and as the un
healthy matter more thoroughly satu
rates the blood a general feeling of des
pondency takes possession of the system.
I had Catarrh for about fifteen veara.
and no man could liava been worna. I
tried every , hinff I could hear of, but no
(rood resulted. I then bnan S. S. S.,
and could sre a little improvement from
ths first bottle, and after taking: it a
short while whs cured. Thia was six
years aaro, and I am aa well today as any
man. I think Catarrh is a blood dis
ease, and know there is nothing on earth
nener xor me Diooa iimn o. a. a. .no
body think inoreoiS. B. S. than I do.
.Lapeer, jM.icn. in. u&ibum.
Local applications cannot cure Catarrh,
because tby do not reach the seat of the
trouble. They allay the inflammation
aud temporarily relieve the disease, but
as soon as they are left off the trouble re
turns. The only way to cure Catarrh is
to treat it through the blood. S. S. S. soon
clears the blood of all Catarrhal matter and
fiurges it of all irritating poisons, checks
urlher progress of the trouble and com
pletely cures the disease. S. S. S. keeps
trie Diooa hi per
fectordersothat it can eliminate
from the system
all waste matter
that will pro
duce Catarrh.
Nothing equals
this great vegetable remedy in the cure
of this disease. Write for our book aud
any medical advice you wish, We make
no cnarge tor euner.
