APRIL r.'.r.z x'.ro. e.::;g crlr-.vri;. la c Befflweiiser HIOW many living men can squarely I stand uo and honestly compare themselves as the equal or supe rior (in any way whatsoever) to ! rot Iron Chancellor of the Hohenzollern's, who made Goethe's dream of Germanic unity a realistic drama of "iron and of blood?" How many dare declare, "I have greater brain power than he" "I have a stronger body" "I am healthier" "I have a saner knowledge" "I am more successful" or "I have more force of character? " Bismarck, during his marvelous career, outwitted the most celebrated statesmen of his time ; terrified the mightiest kings and emperors; overthrew and conquered three armed nations; and ruled over the empire he created with enlightened and practical wisdom for nearly half a century, dying at the ripe old age of 89, famous throughout the world as the "Grealat of the Germans." Now, upon what nutriment was this colossus fed that he grew so mighty ; what i put the iron into his blood? This we know that like all Germans he believed in good eating and drinking, hence the juices of malt and hbps were never absent from his table. S a Leer of redoubtable name and tame. Healtn, strength and vigor glows and sparkles in every glass. Fifty years ago "ye began to brew it. Tor fifty years tbe most fastidious nave pronounced it witliout an equal in any land.

How many people were In the city? No one knows, but they were here. The merchants had no holiday, they were busy from the early morning un til the close of the stores In the eve ning. Hpw many goods were sold? Only the merchants know and they are telling no secrets. It's enough to know that there will be no holding back when the next Horse show and Market day comes around. Promptly at 1 o'clock the parade started at the lower end of Center street, headed by the Baker City Con cert band, followeA by an exhibition of Percheron stallions, running and trotting horses, Jacks and ponies. William S. Levins mounted on a store box, a la street vendor, called the horses as they passed. He did It well and to the satisfaction of the owners and the crowd. After the parade there was a wedding? No, there was a bluff at a wedding, that's all, but It satisfied the crowd that something was doing. After the parade and the announce ments of the horses by Judge Levens, there was an auction sale In front of Kelly's implement house, conducted by W. A. Gossott. i CHOICE ALFALFA n AY There are several kinds of Alfalfa, but t :ere is but one right kind. ' We have that kind. .
