Martin of Council, Ida. is visiting friends here. Mrs. Honan, of La Grande, was visiting in Pendleton, Monday. Mrs. Myrtle Bunker has returned from a short vacation in Portland. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Ghcring of TUain St. r.t tho Hospital Sunday after noon, a boy. Mr. W. IB. Denny has purchased a new Chevrolet touring car from Geo. H Richardson. Miss Anderson, Mrs. W. M. Wilson and Mrs. C. Wilson motored across the valley this morning. Mr. C. J. Black and fr.mily went to tho mountains this morning to spend the day picking huckleberries. Eli Burdett returned to Parson, Oregon this morning after spending a few days with his family here. A. A. Kerr, City Manager of the Home Independent Telephone Com pany, went to Portland last night. Mrs. Tickner, wife of ORev. T. J. Tickner, has returned from a two weeks' visit to her son in Payette. Mrs. J. P. Graham and Miss Bertha Wallsingcr started this afternoon to motor to Portland and expect to be gone two or three weeks. Mr. Miller an Internal Revenue man, and a .brother of Milton, A. Miller of Portland, was in town yes terday. Mrs. Andrey Loney and Mrs. 'Jake Lindsay went out thik dorlning to spend a few days at the Lciter's camp on the Wallowa. Mrs. Schwaiger and family of North Platte, Neb. are visiting Mr. and Mrs. E. Pollack. Mrs. Schwaiger is a sister-in-law of Mrs. Pollack. Miss Margaret Newlin leaves to night to spend a few days at Buyers' Week in Portland. Her little nephew, Master Paul Meyers will accompany Uer. Two harvest hands arrived here yesterday in their own car from Navada to seek work in tho harvest fields here. It seems odd to see a man drive up in a car and nak for work. The meeting of the missionary so ciety of the Christian church was held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30. The at tendance was good and the program excellent. One new member was added. Yesterday cars bearing tho follow ing Stnto Licenses wer seo here: iTaxns, Wyoming, New Mexico, Ne braska, and oven one from Maryland. This goes to show that we are getting on the map when it comes to tourist travel. On a card received by Rev. Upton H. Gibbs, from J. W. Laughlin, of Damarriscotfa, Maine, the latter writes that he is in the service, First Lieutenant Medical Corps, U. S. A., and expects to be in France before long. Mr. Mathews of the Dwight-Ed- wnrds Co. is calling on the local trade today, having just completed tho Wal lowa County district, and arriving here this morning from that country in his car. Ray Buum visited his folks up on Mt. Emily last night. They are campi ed up there for a week after huckle berries. He reports that they have quite a few berries and had the ex citing experience of killing a rattle snake Monday. Mrs. Baum was with in a few feet of it when sho discovered tho snr.ko and upon giving the alarm, Will Garrick, one of the party, shot the snake. It had seven rattles. A party who has received a letter from one of tho soldier boys in, train ing at Clackamas tells us that the writer of the letter is a teamster for the Quartermasters Department, and that he has to get up at 3:30 and "hit the ball" until nine at night, on account of preparing for the incoming of more troops. Otherwise the hours ate 4:30 for arising Mid then eight hours drill during the day. That will be pretty hard on some of the boys who are not used to getting up so early. George M. Gray and wife passed through here on a return visit to their former home in lower Cove. About tho last of Juno Mr. Gray bought a big stocks ranch near Hoppner and they have been living there since that time. Ho has contracted the sheep that he bought with tho stock ranch for $13.50 a head for the older ones and the lambs for $9.00. , He sold a 'bunch of sheep some time ago for $io.uu a head for the old ones. eCetters from C7he front (Letter from Chas. Bradley, son of Mr, and Mrs. F. J. Bradley, of La Grande, who is in the Navy.) Dear Mother: Just a line before we pull into port. Have been to sea for three days and a half. I don't get seasick although day before yes terday morning I didn't feel very well. On the whole though I like the sea fine. I saw a school of porpoises the oth er day and several whales yesterday. The porpoises were real close in, in fact they followed alongside the ship for quite a while and then just flap ped their tails and left us behind as easily as a freight train leaves a tramp. The whales were farther out. I just went down to sick bay to get a boil on my neck fixed and they put a dressing on that feels like a box-car hanging onto my head. I expect to get a letter when the mail orderly gets back this afternoon. I ought to get one from Nell; too, as I wrote her just before we left and told her how to address it. Well, I guess I'll close now, as I have some work to do. Write often and tell me all the news. Your loving son, CHAS . BRADLEY. . . . Ask Anyone Who Has Used It There are families who always aim to keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house for use in case it is needed, and find that it is not only a good investment but saves them no end of suffering. As to its reliability, ask anyone who has used it. Adv. 8-1-17 Spoitts IBB NOT PROMOTED BY MR. EMAHISER Mr. C. D. Emahiser today made the following statement: "A number of my friends and wrestling fans have asked me wheth er or not I am promoting the wrest ling match for Zuber Hall. "The inquiries I have had and tho interest I have taken in sports which resulted in building the wrestling game up to the present healthy status prompts me to make a statement. "I was prevailed upon by Mr. Chris ten sen to make a return match with our local man and I refused, believ- We Have a Right to be Enthusiastic i About the New Welworth Blouses For They are Delightfully Pretty and Charmingly Different IThe Welworth is the Nationally Favored $2.00 Blouse Every woman who has ever worn one' shares our enthusiasm for every Welworth ppsseses those at tributes simplicity, refinement, elegance, distinc tion that endear them to those who love the simple and modest in attire.

Stomach and Liver Troubles No end of misery and actual suffer ing is caused by disorders of the stom ach and liver, and may be avoided by the .use of Chamberlain's Tablets. Give thorn a trial. They only cost a Quarter. Adv. 8-1-17 : Anxious To Help G. W. Walker of the Observer Cir culation Department says he going to the front to help.
