A. Worstell, volunteer ob server, who has kept a careful and ac curate dally record. In five and a half years the ther mometer has gone below s ro on only even days, viz: January, 1901, i de- nees; January 25, 1902, 8 degrees: nuery 26. 1902, 10 degrets; January 1902, 6 degrees; February 1, 1902, 7 degrees; February 11, 1905, 7 de grees. The coldest mean temperature for any month, however, was 22 above during January 1902. The hottest day experienced In this valley was 10S degives on the 22d of July, 1905. It was 101 on the 21st, 103 on the 22d end 102 on the 23d, yet the mean temperature for that month was only 88 degrees. The hottest weather usually occurs In 'August, al though 100 degrees Is seldom reached, and with the exception of the three days noted above, there is no record filter that temperature tin eonlnn4 toff two days successively. It must be remembered that even extreme heat Is not oppressive here.

Mesdames James Ireland and B. F Scott yesterday drove out to the farm of the Oregon Red Apple Co.. aid brought back sufficient strawberries to make a short cake, f 1 om plants set out this year, also several varieties of apples, among them Red June's which would be prize winners atany fair, and Hawley's. although summer fruit, were as large as the Wolf Rivers. ' This tract was originally the Jemison farm situated upon the mountain side a tew miles north of the city and is among tht highest altitudes upon which orchards have been planted. This fruit was grown on the old family orchard. Since its pur chase by the Oregon Red Apple Co., fifty acres have been set out Into apples and twenty acres into strawberries, black berries and raspberries, seventy acres more have been cleared which will be set not required and the samples of the family orchard which Mrs. Ireland exhibited at the Observer office this morning are sufficient to prove the adaptibility of this site for an orchard and the investors will certainly reap a handsome profit when their 1 4C acres of orchard and berries come into bearing. Next year their 20 acres of berries will produce a large crop. This fall thirty acres more will be planted ;n berries. La Grande Evening.OBSERvER Sept. 7.

No matter what order you belong to. when you start for this county put on your pin ind you will find someone who will hail your signal of distress as a stranger in a strange land anrf who will extend the right hand of fellowship and brotherly love. SACR ED HEART ACADEMY The Sacred Heart Academy is one of the recognized educational institutions of this citv and county. It is under the direction of the Sisters of the order of St. Francis. ThVir three story building is situated on high ground overlooking the beautiful Grande Ronde valley. Students from a distance can secure reasonable board at the academy as many are now doing. A nine months school is taught. Everyone knows how the Catholic de nomination conduct their first class schools ar.d the Sacred Heatt Academy is up to their standard in every particular. PRODUCTS La Ra s La Orande visitors at the stats fair grounds at Salem are still excited over the spectacular race that Satin Royal, owned by rt. k. west of this city, won last Thursday in a 2:17 class trot. Hit race is vividly described as follows by the Oregonian. Satin Royal, the lion-hearted son of Bonner N. B., won the Lewis and Clark $2000 stake her this afternoon in three straight heats, beating Altholham in a terrific drive in each trial for the mile The track was as heavy as lead and all of the starters carried a ton of mud. Seven horses faced Starting Judge Woods. The first heat and the going was enough for four of the starters. . They got the flag in the first heat. Lindsay gave the N. K. West horse on of the best drives seen at the races so far. In all three heats it was a two horsa race between Satin Royal and Altholham. From the first turn in the opening heat Lindsay took the lead with Satin Royal He picked the best going on a track that was sticky and holding. As they rounded the way horn Lindsay took the overland and finished on the ex treme outside with Altholham in the mid die of the track. In this position they raced to the wire and the finish was one that brought the crowd to its feet cheering loudly. The other two heats were fin ished in the same gruelling style. The last heat was the closest of all, and Lind' sey had to call for all the gameness and speed that Satin Royal had in him. Walt ers had a gamester in Altholhar, for he always was up fighting like a demon with Satin Royal. MILITIA COMPANY Company L, Third regiment of the Oregon National Guard is composed of Union county boys, mostly of this city. During th bpanish-American war our boys were in th thickest of it and dis tinguished themselves with honor. The Company is on of th best in th state and attentive to alt regular drills and take great interest in th work. STEWARD'S OPERA HOUSE Steward's Opera House, La Orande, ii commodious and well equipped. The peo ple love amusement, and high class shows are always well attended. The man who does not take advantage of the opportunity now offered to secure a timber claim will find the opportunity gone in a few years. Timber claims to be had at government rates will be a thing of the past in no very great length of time.

We discovered that long ago. It is only a question which typewriter, for the word is well and truly used in the singular sense. The typewriter that has coma to stay Is not the on of ten years back, when in novation caused such a stir in business circles. Then nobody aver thoucht of as sociating the word "alignment" with a typewriter; it satisfied the user so long as the machine would writ some fashion or other, and with constant break-downs ever-present repair bills were paid smil ingly. But things ar different now. 1 im tests ail things. The business man has become wis. He wants what h 1 pays for. He has learned the value (from dearly-bought experience) of a machine which will writ properly, not only the day it is bought, but perpetually. He also want to be satisfied upon the tmwmnues ot me many machines now before the public. Th individual claims of our product places its position beyond all question, and th few particular w give on th following pages will, no doubt be found of interest to those buyer who want what they pay for" ABOUT THE OLIVER The No. 5 Model, which has secured such a firm foothold on th universal markets, constitutes what is reckoned as th most perfect typewriter possible. WHY? Her is our answer IT WRITES IN SIGHT There is no carriage to lift; no con structional parts to peer over. Your work is there right before you. ALIGNMENT Each type-bar is a double or U-shaped one and the alignment is secured thereby, No slots or so-called "guides" are neces sary to preserve the alignment of the Oliver. Th U-shaped type-bar does it. SIMPLlClYY In the construction of the Oliver less than one-half the usual number of parts is employed, consequently what there is to learn is learnt quickly. MANIFOLDING The freedom of the Oliver type-bar permits of any desired force, so that in heavy manifolding equally good results ar obtained first to last copy, From on to twenty copies can be made simultaneously, without materially increased exertion. STENCILING No extra-heavy touch is needed to cut a perfect stencil on th Oliver. Th or dinary touch is sufficient, therefor all risk of "cutting out" is avoided. Th type of the Oliver cut th finest stencil pos sible. OPERATION The Oliver never tires. Its operation s a pleasure, even when used 'without intermission. Its truch is beautifully elastic and most responsive, Th fastest operator cannot overtake its speed. NON-LOCKING TYPE-BARS The type-bars of the Oliver cannot lock, no matter how many keys be depressed at one time. TYPE CLEANING The type of the Oliver are not, as with other machines, cleaned individually, but collectively, and the case with which thi cleaning in done makes excuse for dli ty type imp ssible. LINE RULING Lines, either vertical or horizontal, and in any color, may be ruled upon paper whilst it is in the machine, and without the aid of a ruler. Ordinarily, any neces sary ruling is left, of course, until it can be done in the usual way, but is usually forgotten. REMOVABLE CARRIAGE The carriage is removed from the ma chineffor cleaning an4 other purposes) instantly, without manual interferences with any fastenings whatever, and is just as easily replaced. HOUSE AT COVE. PAPER RELEASE By a single movement absolute freedom is given to the paper, leaving it to b ither straightened or ' otherwise moved in any desired position. No fore is nec essary, consequently no soiling or tearing, of th paper occurs. CARD WORK The Oliver typewriter will feed th stiffest and stoutest card as easily as a single sheet of paper. A WORD ON INVOICING If there is anything which demonstrates to th full th valu of the Oliver for tab ular work, it is invoicing. To those user of hidden-writing machir.es who attempt to satisfactorily prepare Invoices thereon. th futility of such a task must surely b apparent. Mechanical contrivance (known as "tabulator") hav been da vised, it 1 true, to assist them, but so much time I lost in "setting" th mch- anism. to which must be added th eon- MM!, 4i,ti u, ui MMfMftue toccasionea - by th operator's lack of confidence la th tabulator), that thainvoic could vary wall be written by hand in half thetim. Fur thermore, tabulator on other than Oliver typewriter, interfere very seriously with vital parts of th typewriter itself, render ing it very unreliable for ordinary us. Th Oliver 1 th ideal machine for in voicing. With It visibl writing, per manent printing point, Indicator and par fact release key, margin ar instantly . found and maintained all with greatest simplicity. No tabulator is necessary 00 the Oliver, but, if on is wanted, w sup ply th best tabulator mad. Bear in mind, however, that w save extra cost and give better results. Again, 'with th wonderful manifolding power of the Oliver, it will make a man copies of an invoice as required, and very- copy clear and distinct. The use of an Oliver for invoicing in sures Speed, legibility, efficiency, economy. neatness and regularity. The Oliver is already adopted by soma of th largest business houses for Invoicing as well as correspondence purposes, fur ther particulars of which w shall b pleased to furnish on application.
