A Sparkling
Aperient
During warm weather there is often an
urgent need for a good laxative. The
safest and most satisfactory remedy of
the kind is '
Our Solution Citrate
Magnesia
It is a quick cure for bilious headache,
and is safer than (headache powders or
pills. It sweetens the stomach, cools
the blood and acts on the bowels
promptly and pleasantly. It is as pal
atable as lemonade.
We prepare this preparation in our own
.laboratory, so you will always find it
fresh and sparkling.

PLACE AT NORTH POWDER.
.Farmers Lines May Have a General
Central.
North Powder, July 21. The
Farmers Co-Operative Telephone line
nas purcnaseu tne locnl telephone ex
chango from .M R. Shourds nnd will
take possession of the same on Aug,
I, 1910. This company now have
several shifts of men at work on their
line between Union and North Powder
and expect to have the line completed
in a short time. This is a matter of
congratulation to the people of this
town and vicinity as this company is
noted for its fine service to its patrons
in the places whero it already has ex
&nnges. Farmers from out of town
rhu.w been unable to got linos and the
company proposes to get these built
as rapidly as possible. It is to be
hoped that the different farmers' lines
that come into North Powder will now
affiliate with the new central. There
are a number of such lines and it is
a matter of great inconvenience to
the people on sucK lines not to have
connection with central.
A number of pcoplo from this town
attended the Cherry fair at Cove.
They all had n fine time but were a
unit in denouncing the noise made by
the "Squawkcrs" in the hands of the
smaller try. The music ana tno pro
gram were hue.
This town has been having a short
age in gas and it 'tons been a matter of
great inconvenience to owners of ma
chines. It is to be hoped that the
businessmen will remedy this so that
anyone can get gas whenever they
need it.

Officials of the club one and all,
have abandoned their own business to
1 mnk the tJbincr a go: men not con-
I nected with the club threw themselves
into the harness, and officials, in
charge of the races and all its depart
ments, officers and the club members
are entitled to credit for putting on a
stunt that 'has put La Grande into
the Associated and United Press re
ports two days hand running, into
trade journals from New York to Los
Angeles and given it more publicity
than it has had since the last motor
cycle races. Every big daily in the
country got the race results Sunday
morning and this morning.
As to the financial end the balances
haven't been struck.
Some question of the outcome of
fourth and fifth place developed and
Indian riders and supporters claim
that the third man should have been
fourth and vice versa. The judge's
decision is given in the summary.
