LEGAL NOTICES
...
Notice of Meeting of Board of Equali
zation Notice is hereby given that the
County Board of Equalization for
Union County, Oregon, will convene at
the court house, La Grande, on Mon
day, September 10, 1917, and publicly
examine the assessment roll, correct
all errors In valuation, descriptions
or qualities of land, lots or other
Always
the same good smoke
Why?
Because, as nearly as mind
and hands can do it, we make
each OWL just like every other
OWL in blend and' burning
qualities.
"If you like one OWL, you'll
like them all." We can say that
with certainty because the flavor
and even-burning of the OWL
are insured by a million dollars
worth of selected, carefully mel
lowed leaf.

. Weekly Report
August 29, 1917.
To the Hon. Commission, City of La
v Grande, Oregon. ,
I herewith submit my report for the
week ending August 29, 1917.
Fire chief reports one call for the
week. This was at the home of Mr.
Cook in Connerdale. Origin of lire
was thought to have been children
playing with matches and setting fire
to wood-lift : Fire was out by the
time fire department reached there.
General aall to which njyie volun
teers responded.
Chief of police reports six arrests
for the week, two of them state cases,
three charged with drunkenness, one
traffic violation. Number of meals
served, one. - ' V . 1 ,
Street and Water Superintendent re
ports the total expense for the two
departments for the week to be
$172.62,; 70.62 of which is charged
to tUe water department, $102.00 to
the street department This Includes
the cost of crew making crosswalk
repairs.
Reportof Engineer relative to Beav
er Creek pipoline herewith submitted.

for a certainty whether pipe is filled
with rock and gravel or 'not. Indica
tions ail point to this condition. ' We
are gaining quite a little in town res
ervoir now and in a few days there
will be a sufficient head of water.
Inspected Coal Creek intake and
found that pipe line was taking no
water. Drained basin, opened flush
pipe, removed sticks, rubbish, etc.,
from intake, then allowed basin to re
fill but no water would flow through
pipe. This would convince us that
stoppage in min pipe is near Union
of Coal Creek with pipe line proper.
Contractor has material on hand for
Turner Oliver sidewalk. .
Asked Mr. Gore, of the 3. O. L. &
P. Co., to submit suggestions relative
to lighting viaduct. He suggests that -we
do away with the arc lights at Pal- ;
mer and Second and Main avenue and
North Second, and substitute 250-watt
circuit lights, putting one in center of
steel span and one at end of each ap
proach.
Frank Bradley, janitor-fireman, has
tendered his resignation to take effect
September 10. 1917.
Yours respectfully, .
. . , . F. B. CURREY,
' General Manager.
Summer Complaint'
During the hot weather of the sum
mer months some member of almost
every family is likely to be troubled
with an unusual looseness of the
'bowels, and it is of the greatest im
portance that wis be treated prompt
ly, which can only be done when the
medicine is kept at hand. Mrs. F. F.
Scott Scottsville, N. Y., states, "I
first' used Chamberlain's Colic and
Diarrhoea Remedy as much as five
years ago. At that time I had a se
vere attack of summer complaint and
was suffering intense pain. One dose
relieved me. Other members of my
family have since used it with like
results."

Water Superintendent Hoyt and
manager visited Beaver Creek intake
and dam. The level from present in
take up stream is 850 feet and found
that at this point there seems to be
well defined bedrock at bottom of the
stream. If small dam were located
here it would result in 24 feet addition
al head over present intake. This
would result in considerable increased
flow of water over entire line. Dam
necessary to cross canyon at this point
would have to be about 60 feet long
and possibly five feet high. A five-
foot dam would give us about 30 feet
additional head, which means a 10 per
cent increase of water supply. Vis
ited reservoir and found that surface
of lake was about 26 inches below
spillway. We have material 01 hand
sufficient to plank top of dam and
make a handrail, also platform on
which valve wheel can be set. These
wheels should be in position as present
arrangement is dangerous to intake
caretaker. As soon as water in town
reservoir fills sufficiently to furnish
city for 24 hours, we will open Beav
er Creek pipe line in order to ascertain
property, as assessed by the county
assessor, and it shall be the duty of
all persons interested to appear at
the time and place given.
All persons having grievance re
garding the 1917 assessment may ap
pear before such board and present
their affidavits containing grounds for
complaint. All such affidavits must
be prosented during the first 15 days
of the meeting of the board.

Assessor for Union County.

BLUE TIP ON TAIL OF
WATERMELON STOPS ROT
Washington, Aug. . 31. (United
Press) Housewives, don't fight shy
of the watermelon with a blue tip on
its tail. That's the style. Official
ly adopted and vouched for by the de
partment of agriculture.
It also makes .the watermelon the
most patriotic fruit we grow. Red
center, white rind, blue tail.
Painting the tails of watermelons
with a paste made of bluestone and
starch prevents stem-end rots, which
have caused vast losses heretofore in
shipments of melons. The blue tip

Substitute
We have built up our grocery business on the
principle that people know what they want and -
are entitled to get it. If you ask for an adver- .
Used article in this store, and it is a meritorious
one, you get it. If you ask our opinion as '.tor ;
what is best in a certain line, we will tell you to
; the best of our judgment, but we never try to
induce a customer to buy something "just as
good" because we make more profit on it than
on advertised articles.

on its tail doesn't hurt the fruit at all,
just keeps it.
You needn't worry either if some
hurried, careless grower lets the blue
tip wander splotchily up. on the body
of the melon. That doesn't hurt it
either. :
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 them a trial. They only cost a
quarter.
