Speed Limit Suspended And Traffic
Withheld For a Minute or Two.
Chief of Police Rayburn has receiv
ed a letter from the Philadelphia Press
asking that the speed limit in the city
of La Grande be temporarily suspend
ed when the Press Auto relay race
reaches this city, in about 10 days
from now. Being extremely anxious
to follow the precedent being set by
other cities, the Chief and Mayor Hall
are taking steps not only to suspend
the speed limit, but also to keep
Adams avenue clear of traffic for the
steamer from Baker City will end its
mad dash and the Franklin that is to
carry the message to Pendleton, can
be handed the missive and be on its
way. The entire transaction will not
require more- than a minutes time,
and the courtesy would be highly ap
preciated. Baker City received a black eye
last spring when the pathfinder car
was stopped and the driver arrested
for violating the speed limits. : Baker
City : autolsts paid the fine, much
chagrined that the police had acted
In that manner. ,-V
Clearing the streets would be an
Innovation which not all cities do for
the runners.
By making Hot Lake a Blgnal bu
reau, it can be ascertained Just what
hour and minute the car will reach
the city limits. In that way traffic
will be suspended, but a ml&ure or
two at the most.
The message which will be carried
by the runners from President Taft
to President Chlldberg of the Seattle
fair, follows: ..
Beverly, Massachusetts,
.September 4, 1909.
c The president sends to the presi
dent of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific ex
position, greetings and congratulations
on the exposition which illustrates the
development , of the great Northwest.
This message is conveyed by a relay
of automobiles from the city of Phila
delphia to Seattle, and the speed with
whlch.lt Is delivered will be a good
Illustration of the wonderful develop
ments In road locomotion achieved in
the last five years.

The usual symptoms of Scrofula are enlarced glands of the neefc.
sores and ulcers on the body, skin affections, catarrhal troubles,' weals,
eyes, and general poor health. The inherited poison, transmitted through
the blood, pollutes and weakens this fluid, and in place of Its nutritive
qualities flila tha circulation with scrofulous matter, which saps the vitality
of thd entire system. Thousands of children, born with a scrofulous taint,
have spent tbelr childhood in constant physical suffering, and grown to
manhood or womanhood handicapped by 111 health and stunted growth,
and perhaps later some disease of the bones or Joints developed. 8. S. 8.,
given in their early life, would have prevented this. It would have
cleansod and purified the blood of the taint, nourished and stengthened
their systems, and assisted each to grow into strong, healthful manhood
or womanhood. S. S. S. is the very best remedy for Scrofula. It goes
down to the bottom of the trouble, and cleanses the circulation of all
scrofulous matter. It supplies the weak, diseased blood with strength
and health-building qualities, and under the purifying effects of this great
remedy all symptoms of Scrofula pass away.- 8. 8. 8. contains no minerals
