"North Powder, Dee. IX (Special) Snow has been falling nearly every clay for the past week but the warm weather hus melted much of it, so that it is not as deep as it would be othcr 'arise. There are several inches, on the level, and it is fretting deeper very tasX. A few people arc still running their cars, but it will not be for long if Jthc snow keeps falling. The deep sumtw is fine for fall grain and the Jfamiera are not complaining. The weather is not very cold so we are Jiaving ideal winter weather. City Election Held. North Powder had its city election 5ast Tuesday. Mayor Kiordan suc ceeded himself, Grant Dalton and tChris Johnson succeeded themselves us councilman, and R. W. Parker will 3 the. only new member of the body. Ellis Hess was elected recorder and Merman Rothchild treasurer. There was not as much excitement over the city election as there was over the presidential election. There is very strong talk of a com pany being formed to build a new theatre or playhouse. The high school basket ball team and the town basket ball team have no hall to meet in and the different lodges and other so cial societies want some place to have their meetings, so there is strong talk of a stock company being formed and I building an up-to-date building. If the company is not formed several in dividuals have signified ther willing ness to put up a building themselves. .Many Kial Estate Deals. Several real estate transactions have been made in this city in the 1 past 'week. Chris Peterson disposed of 120 acres to Charles Moore for $10,000. John T. Shaw purchased of Chris Johnson the 120-acre tract ad joining the Dalton farm. Oscar Smith tml.l n Aft-nnvn 4-.,..f In 17 W ! Parker and James,Riggs an adjoining ' forty. Oscar Smith purchased a 1 nino-acre tract from James Simonis on Wolf creek and will move thereon so that his children will be nearer school. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Watkins have I been visiting with friends in Idaho and returned a few days ago, but will 1 not remajn but go to some lower alti tude for the benefit of Mrs. Watkin's health. ( Rig Ice Plant Sold. A. Lun sold his ice pond and nine acres of land to Chris Johnson a few days ago. Mr. Johnson will now go into the ice business. Walter Cool has been wrestling with an attack of pneumonia the past few days. Lon Davis sold eight cars of cattle to parties from Weiser the latter part of last week and they were immedi ately shipped to that point for feed ing. R. H. Lewis is very proud of the fact that he took third prize on his cattle at the Portland Livestock show. The stock of Eastern Oregon always carries off the ribbons for their own ers as we have some very fine stock. Will Coughanour shipped a car of cattle and one of hogs last Saturday to Portland. 'Sloan's Liniment Eases Pain. Sloan's Liniment is first thought of mothers for bumps, bruisss and sprains that are continually happen ing to children. It quickly penetrates and soothes without rubbing. Cleaner f.iid more effective than mussy plas ters or ointments. For rheumatic . the pains and aches following expos- acnes, neuralgia pain anu cnai grippy soreness after colds, Sloan's Liniment fives prompt relief. Have a bottle hai.dy for bruises, strains, sprains and all external pain. For ti-r thou sands whose work calls them outdoors, ure are relieved by Sloan's Liniment. At all Druggists, 25c. Adv.
