Reports from the mines during January has
warranted a raise, consequently stock has gone
up to 7 cents, and this is not all, it will keep
going up ajs long as the property gets better, as
it is you should buy before another raise in
price, or you will miss a good investment. You
should consider this as being a home enterprise
and help " the matter along, thereby helping

Milk Talk No. 2.
CLEANLINESS
At milk ii the natural food for the
young, containing within itself all
the requirements of the body, and
as any adulteration is injurious to
the system, (either from absorp
tion or otherwise) therefore the
health of the consumer, and espec
ially the young, depend to a
great extent upon those who handle
the milk. And as there are so
many ways in handling the cow as
well as the milk after being drawn
from the cow. Every consumer
should visit the place from whence
he gets his milk (no matter if it is
surrounded by a high board fence)
and see how the cow and the milk
are handled before using it as a
food for the baby.

. Jie following dispatch from North
Yak. tnA E' an Illustration of the ex
perien enjoyed by "Rev,'.' Swackham
mer, a, ' itinerant colored minister, who
was in L Grande, Elgin and Wallowa
county 8W months ago on a lecturing
toun : '
Thedispa ten says:
Re. Mr. & Vackhammer, colored, made
a complaint to ' officers that as he was
commencing his ' celebrated lectureon "The
Philippines" last' light at a house in the
Nachee valley, th audience, which was
mostly composed i laborers, on the North
Yakima 4 Valley t milroad, instead of re
ceiving hie oratorio ' efforts with ap
ntatnn. mnrnvftH him with overripe teat
and decayed vegetable nd other unsav
ory articles. .' ' ''
The lecturer says that .he did not care
much for the ancient e ve and vegeta
bles, for he has met with t.Su knid of re
ception before, but what he slid object to
and what forced him to Me a" complaint
was that during the lecture some one in
the audience heaved a rode in hi direc
tion, -which struck him with
great force and violence a he was with
drawing from the rostrum. As evidence
the assault he "carries the very rock"
hie pocket, and upon this evidence is
willing to submit his case.
Rev. Mr. Swackhammer says that when
his audience finally became to demonstrat
ive he was forced to flee to escape being
overwhelmed. He sought refuge in 'an
outhouse and locked himself in. He states
that the building was bombarded by the
zealous members of his audience, but the
door remained firm. After remaining
some time under cover the lecturer sought
refuge in flight. He eays that he has ex
perienced his share of the strenuous life
in this section of the country and will go
to St Louis, Chicago and Pittsburg and
other large eastern cities where his mas
terly lecture will be appreciated.

Officers and teachers of the several
Sunday schools in this city met Sunday
afternoon in the Central church for the
purpose of listening to Mr. Merrit. who is
one of the inter-denominational Sunday
school secretaries, who is on his way to
Wallowa county. Mr. Merrit soon dem
onstrated that ha was perfectly familiar
with the Sunday school in all of its many
phases and it was unaminously voUd to
arrange for a county convention whereby
representatives of all of the schools in
the valley couid have an opportunity of
meeting with Mr. Merritt. It was ar
ranged to have the convention in La
Grande the first week in June, the c
act date will soon be arranged.
ANDREW JACKSON
A great many good things are told of
Andrew Jackson. One was, that when
he was about to fight the British troops
at the battle of New Orleans, and a dep
utation of the city government went
down to ask that he would not fight the
battle, but retreat, because if he fought
the battle, the British troops would burn
the city he replied that "they need not
concern themselves, for if he was obliged
to retreat he should not leave anything in
the city of New Orleans for the British to
burn." 1

"HUMAN HEARTS"
Arkansas has often been the theme of
song and story, and no melody evSr writ-
en has evolved more genuine pleasure than
'The Arkansas Traveler." The same
may be said of "Human Hearts" which is
a strong story, dealing with life in . the
Arkansas hills, only in addition to laugh
ter, it is mingled with heart interest and
tears.
This season's company secured by Man
ager Nankeville will be far superior to any
ever engaged to portray this strongest of

ton; 32.S 1 6.8 1 0, and Idaho, 1 0.34 1 ,532.

season will be entirely new; the past sum
mer having been devoted to securing new
models and the building and painting of
new scenery. Consequently, this year.
"Human Hearts" will be practically a
brand new production. It has been Man
ager Nankeville's aim to improve the
performance each season and to this fact
he attributes its great success and lasting
popularity.
"Human Hearts" will be seen at Stew
ard's opera house, Tuesday, March 6.
"HOOLIGAN IN NEW YORK"
The greatest successecpred by any
comedy drama produced last season was
credited by the critics of all the eastern
cities to "Hooligan in New York." The
character of Hooligan is known wherever
newspapers are read and is naturally as
sociated with broad farce in stage repre
sentation. However, in the production
which will be seen at Steward's opera
house, Tuesday Feb. 27, he is more than
the happy-go-lucky careless tramp of the
cartoons. The author has made him the
principal role in a drama of intense hu
man interest a play with a plot a story
taken from life in the great metropolis.
He not only gets into continual trouble,
thus causing screams of laughter, but he
saves the innocent and punishes the
guilty, thus gaining the hearty applause
of the auditor.
THEY WOULDN'T HEAR HIM
Angie invited her young man to supper,
everything passed off harmonously until
the seven-year-old brother broke the
blissful silence by saying:
1 "Oh, ma, yer oughter seen Mr.
the other night when he called to take
Angie u me ariu. ne looked . so nice
sittin" alongside of her with his arm "
"Fred!" screamed the maiden, quickly
placing her hand over the boy's mouth.
"Yer oughter seen him," continued the
persistent informant after gaining his
breath. "He had his arm4"
"Freddie!" shouted the mother, as, in
her frantic attempt to reach the boy's
auricular appendage, she upset the con
tents of the teapot.
"I was only just going to say," the
half-frightened hoy pleaded, between
cry and an injured whine, "he had his
arm"
"John, thundered the father, "leave
the table!"
And the boy did so, exclaiming as he
went "I was only going to say Mr.
had his army clothes on. and 1, leave it to
