Don'ts on Rheumatism.
Rheumatism is stubborn as a mule.
Hangs on like a leech, wears you out,
worries you with pain, drags your vi
tality, depresses your mind and health.
Don't give up to it. Don't let it hang
on; Don't over-look Foley Kidney
Pills. They are a natural enemy to
the conditions that cause rheumatism,
which they will promptly remove.

IS AUTHOR.

iman Magazine Carries Descrip
tive Article of Valley.
(By C M. Humphreys, Secretary La
Grande Commercial club, in Har-
riman magazine.)
Let us enter tit) Grande Ronde val
ley practically along the same route
that John Jacob Astor's, party entered
more than a hundred years ago. While
they traveled under the most adverse
circumstances', we can travel with a
degree of comfort unsurpassed.
Ctoming from the east by the line
of the Oregon-Washington Railroad &
.Navigation company, one gets the first
view of this wonderful valley on
rounding a point of the mountain in
Pyle's canyon, between Telocaset and
Union Junction, about fifteen miles
east of La Grande. Near this poinl
there is now located a passing track
named in honor of C. T. Bacon, who
is at present, and has been for many
years, a phvsician for the O.-W. com
pany at La Grande. , '
As the trains round the point,, the
traveler looks to the- northward and
beholds a scene that has but very
few rivals in' the whole world. I can-,
not attempt a description, but suffice1
it to say that when once seen will
never be forgotten. Stretching away
to the nortli for- 35 miles lies the
Grande Ronde valley, one of the most
fertile spots' in the northwest. Like
a checkerboard; tne rarms extend as
far as the eye can reach, and forest
covered hills come down and hem in
the valley, which some one has truly
said, "is a walled garden of Eden.
Nearly two hundred feet below us and
a mile away is the town of Union, a
hustling little city of some 2000 peo--pie.
It is an ideal home town, where
giant old trees spread their arching
branches across well-kept lawns, and
Catherine creek pours an ice-cold
stream from the everlasting snows of
Eagle mountain, right through the
heart of the town. At Union is lo
cated the Eastern Oregon branch o.
the state agricultural experiment sta
tion, an institution that furnishes val
uable information to the fruit growers
st xk raisers and farmers, in fact, ev
eryone that has to do with tilling the
soil.
The Grand Ronde valley comprises
some 400 square ' miles of territory
and with an annual rainfall of about
21 inches, almost any product of the
temperate zone can be successfully
and profitably grown.
Coming on westward, we soon reach
Union Junction, where a connection is
made with the Central Railro o
Oregon, a small steam line that runs
to the towns of Union and Cove. We
have 'now reached the level of the
valley and about three miles fro
Union Junction we come to Hot Lake
a health resor.t of more than local I
fame. This institution has recently
been taken under the control of the.
iJ.-W. K. fi N. company and is attract
ing attention from all the northwest
on account of the wonderful cures
made by its healing waters. A large
spring pours out of the earth at a'
temperature of 190 degrees F. and
besides being used for bathing pur
poses, is utilized in the heating of the;
immense hotel and hospital maintained
here. The overflow forms a lake- s?v-;
eral acres in extent. i
Coming on .westward, we soon reach
La Grande, the metropolis of East
ern Oregon, both in population and
business. She is the second payroll
jity in the state, the railroad, lumber
and various other resources ably as
sisting in maintaining this record. The
O.-W. R. & N. .has its shops for the
Eastern Division here; these give em
ployment to several hundred men. The
freight division for this territory i
also located here and a large. num
ber of - engine and train crews make
the city ;ir home. La Grande is
also the junction point for the Joseph
branch of the O.-W.. which serves the
northern Dart of Union county and
the whole of Wallowa county, extend-
nig 84 miles, to Joseph, Ore.
Elgin, in Union county, and Wal
lowa, Lostine, Enterprise and Joseph
in Wallowa county, are prosperous
towns located along the line of rail
road above referred t. Near Joseph
narpd in honor of the Nez Perce chief,
is Wallowa lake, a summer resort of
no mean pretensions.
La Grande has a conservatively esti
mated population of 7000 and within
a radius of three miles from the post-
office no less than 10,000 people have
their homes. La Grande maintains a
municipal water system, securing a
bcuntcous supply of pure water from
Beaver creek, 18 miles back in the
mountains. The improvements which
the city has, made in the last few
years are completely modern in every
respect. Nearly ten miles of hard-surface
pavement grace her streets; the
sidewalks are of concrete; her sewer
system has been pronounced one of the
most sanitary in the west by the
state board of health; a telegraph
fire alarm system, paid fire depart
ment and an auto chemical truck are
also included in her up to date civic
equipment. Of course, there are the
usual modern conveniences, such as
telephone and electric light and power.
Her school facilities are the best; the
public schools boast of a very modern I
and complete high school building and ,
four trade school buildings. ;The!
Catholic church also maintains the St. '
Francis academy, which institution an-1
nually sends out a large number of
well equipped graduates.
' In May of this year over $41,000 was
subscribed in eight days for the erec
tion of a Y. M. C. A. building, on which
work will be commenced at an early
do. Several new and large church
buildings are being erected and a city
library will be built this fall at a cost
of . $12,000. Enterprises of various
ikinds are being pushed forward with
an energy that can only result in
success.
The George Palmer Lumber com'
pany operates a large saw mill and
lumber business at this place as does
also the Grande Ronde Lumber com
pany, whose mill is located three miles
west of the city. The Masters-Ewoldt
Lumber company is another concern
that has its headquarters in the city
and furnishes employment to many
men. The Mt Emily Timber com
pany has also decided on La Grande
for their permanent location and in
the near future will commence the
erection and operation of a large lum
ber plant. There are other enterpris
es, too numerous to mention in an
article of this kind, which must neces
sarily be brief. ,
It has been said quite truthfully that
"success is yours, in the Grande' Ronde
valley" if you desire to make it so.
We do not know what it is to boom,
nor do we wish to find out. No in
flation of land values has ever been
known here and he who w,ould work
can make a success in the valley.
The Commercial club has an ele
gant home on the fifth floor of the
new Folev building and visitors are al
ways welcome. A number of rail
licu men already hold membership in
the institution and there is room for
many more. "

City Heads Wrangle.
Salem, Ore'., Aug. 5. (Special)
"My shoulders are broad enough to
take all the blows aimed at me by the
city council," said. Dr. B. L. Steeves,
mayor of Salem, today. "They struc'i
at Councilman Rigdon and thought
they would hit me. I was missed en
tirely and only an innocent man was
hurt;'
Mayor Steeves and members of the
council have been out of harmony for
months. When he announced recently
that he would take a vacation trip he
appointed Councilman Rigdon Acting
Mayor. Another councilman was elect-j
ed by the board to preside over its
meetings, after Mayor Steeves left the
city. That angered Councilman Rig-1
don, who created a scene at the meet-j
ing by declaring he had been "struck
from behind" and would leave the
chamber, not to return until the coun-
cil apologized to him. He left, and as
soon as Mayor Steeves learned of the
situation he returned post haste to
the city.
Fire Threatens Wheat.
What threatened for a time to b
one of the most disastrous stubble fire
of the season occurred Friday after
noon on the Willis Reser farm south
of town, when sparks from a tractior
engine ignited the dry strw in the field
that had just been threshed. For three
hours the crew fought the flames
plowing large strips around the pilet
of wheat sacks, .and finally the spread
of the fire was chcckejl, though not un
til it had burned within a few feet of
one of the larcest piles of threshec
grain. Walla Walla Union.
