Xotlee of Annual Fair.
The management of the First Eas
tern Oregon District Agricultural
society, wishes to announce that the
county fair will be held this year at
La Grande, beginning October 4th.
and lasting one week.
The new catalogue will be out now
In a short time, the cause of the de
lay bo far has been due to the effort
to get the Wallowa county people
to join us and combine the two fairs.
The new catalogue will be practic
ally the same as the old one, but with
this exception, many of the premiums
have been raised and new features
added, and also a large special list
of premiums will be offered by the
business men of La Grande.
Get your exhibits ready for the
largest fair that Union county has
ever had.

George, on Hilltop, Given Toor Sup.
port Score One Sidttf.
La Grande was soundly spanked
yesterday by the Cove cherry pickers
in a listless game at Lincoln play
grounds. . The fracas was error be
smirched and characterized by but
little real classy ball. La Grande
started out nicely. George who was
on the, hilltop throughout the game,
morgued Walters the fleetfoot right
off the bat, and did It twice more,
Carter flew out to Alstott and the side
retired when Proe handled Steven's
hit handily, spelling death for the
runner at Wood's station. La Grande
came to the bat with Stoddard lead
ing off, and though he flew out to
third base, and George was wigwag-
S?d b"??t to th b""h tw hm timnlr
on the three strikes path, Proe warm
ed things up with a stiff two bagger.
Bradley followed with a single and
Proe scored on Cotner's long drive
to right field.
From then on the game commenced
to lag and wild heaves, boneheaded
base running, bad coaching at bases,
juggling and the like made the con
test anything ' but classical. Cove
held together quite well until the
fourth when Bradley scored on a
comedy of errors, and Cotner was.
thrown out at the home plate on a
close decision. From the grandstand
it looked like Jack had missed it,
but Cotner was really out by a nar
row margin. In the elgth a batting
rally cheered the fans up a wee bit.
Cotner, Clark and Woods each got
safe bingles, and these . augmented
by errors, gave La Grande three runs.
But the looseness that broke out oc
casionally is told in the eight canto
when without a single hit Cove tapp
ed the pan four times. It was no use,
Cove had La Grande hooked on and
the spasmodic fits of good playing
could not hold out long enough to
win out.
George the stellar mound artist,
had fairly good control, throws a
swift ball and all that, but got liUlo
support on bases, and he soon quU

to make them hug in. Wit 1 La
Grande playing its customary ball,
George would do very well on the
pivotable position.

H. EICHENBERGER,
(July 20, Aug 20) " La Grande.
Union and Baker City's baseball
teams have gone up In smoke and
from now on the Eastern Oregon
league . will be composed of four
clubs, Elgin, La Grande, Cove and
Huntington. The Baker City bubble
was anticipated to burst any time, as
the team had the rather unusual dis
tinction of playing 12 straight games
without a single victory.
The surprise of the day however,
is the action ot Union which held a
position in the first division of the
league, and to all appearances was
playing a fair game ot ball. It has
been known for some time that there
was trouble brewing In the ranks of
tha tAm. end It cams to a climax
yesterday, when the manager was
unable to muster a crowd sufficient In
strength or size to cope with Elgin.
It is said In Union today that the
team died without a struggle, as the
members went each his own direct
way on and the citizens themselves
were unaware of the raptd strides
toward disbandment taken by the
team. ,
It Is supposed that after a few
weeks a team will be resurrected to
play unscheduled games, but at the
present time, the league team is up
In smoke with no information as to
when the smoke will be reconverted
into a team.
Baker City's departure is not la
mented in the least. The prearrang
ed schedule Is of course void, and
Manager Grant Lincoln has written
to the other three clubs for informa
tion as to another schedule. It is
probable that one will be arranged
before next Sunday so that the four
club teams may continue.

PURELY
The absolute vegetable purity of S. 3. S. has always been one of the
strongest points in its favor, and is one of the principal roasons why it is
the most widelv known and universally used of all blood medicines. A
great many of the so-called blood purifiers are really nothing more than
strong mineral mixtures which act so unpleasantly and disastrously on
the delicate membranes and tissues of the stomach and bowels, that even
If such treattnont purified the blood, the condition- in whioh the digestive
system is left would often be more damaging to tlio health than the original
trouble. Not so with.S. S. S. it is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and
at the sumo time is an absolutely safe and harmless remedy. It is mado
entirely of tho healing and cleansing extracts and juices of roots, herbs
and barks, each of wnich is m dally use in some lorm Dy pnysicians xa
their practice. Years of work and research have proven S. 8. 3. to contain
everything necessary to purify the blood and at the same time supply tho
system with the purest and best tonio effects. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism,
Oatarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison
and all other blood troubles, and it leaves the system In perfect condition
when it has purified the blood. Book containing much valuable Informa
tion on the blood and any modical advice desired sent free to all who write.
