If proper training is enjoyed there are few indeed who cannot develop a credit able skill in either vocal or instrumental music. Parents will never regret en couraging their sons" and daughter's in terest in whatever form of music most Pfste to them. Twf La Grande School of Music, under the direction of Prof, and Mrs. E. Porter Day, affords an ooportunity that should not be overlooked. It is astonishing how rapid is the progress made by those who are favored with a course at this school. Pupils may enter at any time. Tuition fees are very reasonable. Of course, while there is no age limit in regard to pupils, it is undeniably true that children are quicker in acquiring profici ency, and that the best time to gain a knowledge of music and a love for the aMs in youth. very latest German system is taught, which is recommended by the world's leading musicians. It is the com posite of some fifteen systems embodying the best features of all. On request. however, any system desired will be taught. The La Grande School of Music began its present term on Monday, September 10th, with more than eighty pupils. The institution is now in its sixth year here, and its steady growth in patronage is the best evidence of the satisfactory instruc tion it imparts. iNurs are arranged so that students uayiuing tne puoiio schools may also attend the School of Music m fact, pu pils come at various hours from 6 a. m. to 9 p. m. The first three grades are taught by Mrs. Day, whose pupils vary in age from five to ten years. The other twelve grades (fifteen grades complete the course) receive the personal instruction of Prof. Day. He numbers among his pu pils some who have come from a distance as far as Chicago. Prof. Day came West for reasons of health, and has found La Grande all tha he expected. He is much impressed with the great future of this section. As a musician he is known in Boston, New Ysrk. and Chicago, where he was very tfytessful, and he comes from a family of Americans wl.i.h has in each g.n. ra tion had musicians among its number. The La Grande School of Music has already acquired a more than local repu tation, and it is recognized as being one of the best musical institutions in the State. The instruments taught include. not only the piano, but the guitar, mando lin, bass viol and violin as well. Write Prof. Day, La Grande, for rates of tuition or any additional information desired. J. B. HILSE. PHOTOGRAPHS. There is nothing in this world so much prized as photographs of absent friends and relatives. It is a duty owed to one's family to have in existence a speaking likeness of oneself. See J. B. Hulse and you will be sure of getting excellent work at a moderate price. He has devoted many years of his life to the making of pictures, and possesses a true conception of the art. In the study of light and shade, pose of subject and gei.eral effect, he has acquired a distinctive style, to please the most exacting patron t'S had exDerience in California sure He and Estno as well as Oregon, Mr. Hulse operates galleries in both La Grande and Union. Orders are taken for absolutely every thing possible to photography. Mr. Hulse came to Oregon from Idaho several years ago. He formerly lived at Hailey, Idaho, and has served that district as representative in the Idaho Legisla ture. Sixteen years as a photographer is his record, and his work is second to none.

In 1864 John Blokland came to the Grande Ronde Valley, and today his two sons Andrew and Garrett Blokland, are among the leading farmers of this sec tion.

RUCKMAN WHO FARMS OVES 800 ACRES CF GRANDE RONDE VALLEY LAND Mr. Ruckman came to the Grand' Ronde Valley in 1873. He has made a marked success in small gram. Last year he sold 5.0C0 bushels of wheat and 5.000 bushels of oats, and his crops are usually very large. He owns 680 acres and leases 176 acres more, most of which is planted to wheat and oats. On his own place he has a SOO-tree orchard. and about 50 acres in potatoes. This year he has put in 200 acres of fall wheat. He has about thirty head of horses and mules and employs from two to four men. Mr. Ruckman believes in up-to-date farming. He has a steam plow that turns thirteen furrows a width of sixteen feet and with it, three men an a traction engine of 60 horse power, he can plow forty acres a day He can average cutting thirty acres of grain a day with h s large header, wh'ch is propelled by eight mules abreast. Mr. Ruckman has a splendid team of driving horses, and is comfortably fixed in all re spects. His home is of sphndid arrange ment, with a style of architecture peculiar to itself. There are fourteen rooms, in cluding the cement-floored cellar. The barn, 53x80 feet, will hold 150 tons of hay. This barn has a basement 24x80 feet. Within a short time water will be conducted to tne house for sink, bath and toilet purposes. A cedar tank, with a capacity of 3.000 gallons, has already been erected. The top of this tank is 1 8 feet from the ground. It will thus be seen that the Grande Ronde Valley farmers need lack no com fort that makes life enjoyable. GEO. KRIFGER.

Do not confound osteopathy with Christian science, with magnetic hjai- liu, with massage treatment, or any of the other "healing methods that have sprung up during recent years. Ost opvithy Is thi? onl y exact science of treutlng disease, and In many of the states It already has acquired recognized position at leaet equal to that of the allopathic or homeopathic schoo'a. Thousands and thousands of cures of the worst possible cases have been effected, and there are few If any disease that do not yield readily to oste opathic treatment. The results e.itained do not come haphazard or from guesswork, as Is the case where drugs are useJ, but are the direct s quenc of well-defined rules of treatment. It has been large' ly true, that only chronlo cases which have bullied the skill of medlcnl prac tltlon rs have offered themselves to the osteopaths, but this fact simply serves to accentuate the value of oste npothy. for the percentage of cures Is astonishingly large. With the spread of information on the nature of the treatment and Its efllclency, the gen oral public Is awakening to the grea possibilities of this natural treatment, and today patients by the hundreds nre availing thi mselvs of the chance t afford to regain perfect heal th.
