MODERN D E NTI STR Y DIDN'T HURT A BIT In the past few years has advanced withgiant strides. The methods of today have made those of yesterday practically obsolete. If You require dental work of any kind You should consult the dentist who is up-to-date in his methods. The success attained by Dr. H. A. Sturdevant, of the La Grande Dental Co., successors to Reavis Bros., proves that he is master of the latest and most successful methods of his profession. Office at Reavis Bros'.

THE BE8T OF EVERYTHINO. For further inlormatioa ppl to W. A. Cox, OmkmI Art. C. N.-W. Ry. I Si Third MrMt, Portland, Or.. mm Of Mill arrested There is now lodged in the County jail. about the boldest and perhaps the clever est woman pickpocket that has visited La Orande for a long time. In fact she is the smoothest that La Orande has seen since she was here last. Saturday evening Henry Betmer and two other gentlemen from La Grande were making for a nud dle joint when the party reached the liv ery barn on Adams Avenue, their conver sation was suddenly interrupted by the approach of a woman, who might in years gone by, have passed for a well dressed and prepossing person, but is now the picture of shabbin.-. with the odors and outward signs of opium branding her with unmistakable plainness.The excuse for a woman liked the looks of Henry and flew to him, threw her arms about his neck, and lovingly complimented him on his pipe, good looks and various at tractions which she claimed he possessed. Meanwhile Henry's companions were watching the manifestations of affection but saying nothing. Henry claims that she had one of her knees against his ab domen and one arm tightly wound about his neck. It must have been with the other hand then, that she found a well-filled wallet in Belmer's hip pocket and clever ly relieved him thereof. She all of a sud den discovered that she had mistaken him for an intimate friend of hers, and politely withdrew, offering many profuse excuses. Mr. Belmer was of course rather taken aback with all this lovingness and in fact was a little nervous. When he cool ed down and happened to want his money he awoke, and realized that he had been the victm of the old old game Quickly giving the alarm he brought the police to the scene. No arrests were made however, as the "dtar old girl" had made herself scarce. On Monday the police managed to locate the woman and her accomplice in the hills and they were Brought to the city for hearing yesterday afternoon. The warrant calls for the arrest of Bernice Lockard and James Koberts. The woman is known to the police here as she is suspected of having "Touched a citizen of La Grande not many months past to the extent of a diamond pin. The man in the case is neatly dressed and seems to regret his connection with the bad lady. TRIAL AGAIN POSTPONED The hold up trial scheduled foi last eve ning injustice of the Peace Hough's office was again postponed on account of sud den illness of the principal defendant. The circumstances surrounding thejeap tured of prisoners, would form the nucle us for a modern detective story. Chief R ayburr. had his bherlook Holmes eye on a vertain individual who was. rooming at the Foley House. Early Monday morn ing this particular gentleman came down from his room and eat a hearty break fast and saved a morsel for his friend, the lady who did the clever pick pocket ng. Rayburn secured the assistance of Constable MacLachen and followed theman with a lunch under his arm. The shad -owers followed the accomplice to the canyon near China Lewis. Here Mac Lachen neld the Fort while the Chief made flank attack and soon rounded up the accomplice and his principal who by the way had lived in the hills since late Sat urday evening until Monday morning, with out any shelter. She is a noted character in La Grande and her trial is creating a sensation. ; BID f OR BONDS ' Notice is hereby given that sealed bids will be received by the City Recorder of the City-of La Grande, up to August 1st 1906, for the purchase $30,000 Water Bonds, of City of La Grande, said bonds to bear 6 interest, payable semi-an-ually, and to run for a period of 20 years with privilege of redemption at any time after 10 years, upon giving three months notice.

The annual report of the State labor Commissioner, places Union Gount third in the state, in the emploment of labor - It requires 194 solid trains of fourtv cars each to carr the produce of our ' c ount to the market, more than a tr ai n ever other da throughout the ear. "An admirable climate." The past winter only for a few hours did the mercury reach zero. No excessive heat in the summer and our cool refreshing nights cannot be appreciated by the residents of the east until they are permitted to enjoy them. Our soil is rich and productive. Were we to mention yields they would 1 not be believed. The only way to become acquainted with this "Garden of Eden" is to personl visit this land of diversity, as when you see the crops growing and harvested they speak for themselves.
