Mrs. Jessie Mutntt, La Grande's
postmistress, lias been very sick dur

there is a slight improvement.

stall the heating and lighting systems.
After a careful investigation by the
building committee of 'the board of re
gents the firm of K. A. Erixon, Salem,
was awarded the building contract for
the sum of $31, 609. Contracts for in-
stalling the heating and lighting sys
tems were awarded Theodore M. Barr,

The old Souder building on Adams
avenue hus been torn down the ground
having been sold to J. D. McKennon
who will put up a brick building there
on. Chas. Johnson, a man about twenty
three years of age, was killed yester
- day evening while hauline logs down
the mountains. He was thrown be
tween a log which he was dragging
down and a stump and his head was
crushed resulting in instant death.
It is settled.
The $20,000 water fund secured by
the common council of La Grande two
years ago is now available for use.
The history involving the unfortu
nate litigation over this water fund
would be a long story too long to
tell and it probably could not be told
straight by the brightest mind this
side of the Wuibash. It doesn't need to
be told anyway.
Draw the cover and let her go Gal
lagher. The city has the money and
that is all that is necessary.
A water system for La Grande is
now assured.

FARM AGENT NOTES 1
f I I I I i I
I price or nearly so. The following di
i rections for the use of formaldehyde
I in treating grain for smut are taken
from bulletin No., 12, Washington
I Experiment Station.
I 1. To make the solution use a 40
I pe? cent solution, one pound, which is
practically a pint, to 30 or 40 gallons
' of water.
j 2. Put a sufficient amount of the
; solution (30 to 40 gallons) into a bar
,rel, to completely immerse a sack of
' seed or use n larger amount in a tank.
I 8. Put seed to be (treated into
sacks, and dip each sack into the so-
: lution, allowing 'it to remain ten. min-
utes. .
! 4. Remove the suck and drain, al-
I lowing the exfeess Solution to ru,i
back into the barrel. Replenish the
solution as often as necessary from
a stock solution so as to have the
sack always completely immersed. !
6. Allow the treated seed to re
main over night in the wet sacks and
1 use the following day.
I 6. A new solution should be pre-
I pared each day? acid looses its
strength very rapidly. ...
1.7. Be accurate in the measurement
of both water and formaldehyde.

You are undoubtedly keeping the
poultry for what you can make out of
'them and not just for the fun of feed
I ing them. Prof. Dryden of O. A. C.
'says that there is very little protit in
! millets that have been hatched later
than the first of May. Leghorns and
other small breeds saiould toe hatched
from March 20 to April 20. Plym-
. dth rocks and similar breeds any
I time to March. Pullets hatched about
I these dates make the best late fall and
winter layers.
f ruit inspection.
There will bo a blight cutting dem
onstration held in Union on Monday,
Feb. 21et. The object of this dem
1 onstration is to show the proper
I method of. cutting out the holdover
'cankers, the most fertile source of
! blight --infection. This will give tree
. owners an opportunity to better un
derstand the cutting out of this dis
1 ease, as afte'r March 1st blight in
1 spection will begin in Union. This
j program to be followed in La Grande
! after the Union section is cleaned up.
These two points have as yet not had
to cut out their infection as has been
the case in the rest of the valley
i Points that were cleaned up last year
j will be inspected again-this year, and
every effort will be put forth to keep
, this trouble in check.

Our Readers.
After reading of so many people
in our town who have been cured by
Doan's Kidney Pills, the question na
turally arises: "Is this medicine
equally successful in our neighboring
towns?" The generous statement of
this Union resident leaves no room
for doubt on this point. 1
