Many people ask what it cost to run an automo-
bile. We reproduce herewith a letter from Mr. W. B. a
ttacti, which shows his total expense for a run; &f
8500 miles. Mr. Bacli has kept an acurate account of ,
every item of expense and the figures in his letter
are all taken from his books. The item for which he
mentions tires are for extra inner tubes, as the tires
on Mr, Bach's machine, as well as all tires on all,
Fords sold during the season 1909, are the tiresthat
were on the car at the time it left the' factory;

DBEADED DISEASE TO OK1E.M
1LS CLAIM YICTI3L
Uncontagions disease of terjr rare ap
pearance foond here
Berl-Berl an ' oriental disease
brought on by an overindulgence in
a rice diet, and extremely rare in
this section of the state has broken
out in La Grande with one death al
ready recorded, two acute' cases sent
to PorUahd and three others suffer
ing with less acute attacks. The dis
ease is not contagious - but is one
of the dangerous maladies affecting
a rice eating nation.' , K. Omura, the
Japanese burled last Saturday, died
from the' pernaclous cardiac form of
the, dreaded disease, and among the
cases coming to the attention of the
local physicians, : are .seen tooth of
the ' two other forms, namely, the
dropsical and atrophic! forms.-' Doc
tors Bacon and Hall discovered the
presence of the disease. It had been
fully, determined" " that the sudden
death of Omura was occasioned by
this disease,' perhaps the first time
it has been seen in La Grande. v
v Two Other Cases.
- Yesterday t-vo other Japs were
brought' In to Bacon & Hall's office"
and after careful diagnosing were de
clared to have the dropsical and
Atrophic forma. They were sent to a
Portland hospital immediately, j Three
others are suffering from less seri
ous attacks of the same disease near
Ho Lake. V

The matter of electing Union coun
ty's delegation to the state assembly

consulted In the matter that sugges
tions laid down by the Btate Sub

pose, and of which Mr. Cochran is a
member, may" be followed out. The
State Central Committee last Satur
day elected Judge George of Port
land to succeed Cake; At that meet
ing it was suggested that all coun

ate basis y preelnct conventions,
and 30 delegates were apportioned to

slope of the Blue Mountains just be

because of the lateness of the season.
No. six, the eastbound passenger,
was held west of the trouble for- sev

time. The rotary, which has been
the panacea of many griefs of the
railroad company this year, was sent
from here to clear the track.

. . Baying a Lawsuit
Did you know that placing your re
liance up a warranty deed is simply
bidding for a lawsuit? -
In California this fact is so well
understood that a warranty deed Is
looked upon with suspicion. .
' It is for this reason: .
If the title Is good it passes with
the deed, and that it all there is to
it no need of a warranty, If bad,
the adding of a warranty does not
make it good. . ; ... .
A warranty Is only a sort of bet
a' wager that you will have no trou
ble; but if you do, and finally lose
out, I'll pay your money back. ,
A better plan Is to require an ab
stract Consult
