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.

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.

"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. '
Our forrests will require many many' decades of the present activity befote they
begin to yield and we now have thirty or more saw mills which give employment the
