MMNC'H LINK IMPORTANT.
In many respects the brunch of
the O.-W. R. & N. from La Oiande
to Joseph Is as Important as the
main llne. Tlio traffic In growing
progressively and Is reaching a vol
ume of, groat Importance. Th9
fact that the railroad facilities for
..-.Wallowa county territory Is deemetl
of great consequence is shown by
the work that has been done in
hooping the track and road bed la
, good physical repair. Thore has
just been completed au Immense
amount of Improvement work alon?
the roadbed through the Wallowa
canyon to guard against damage
from high water" A large amount
of other expenditures have beoa
mado to keep ; tlio branch lino
abreast of the demands.
When the road was extended to
Joseph, less lhan ten years ago, It
r .r" - f 4-'
was done almoBt tinder a protest
V
and It was the expressed belief of
tonic of the railroad officials that
no reasonable returns could be ox-
pected from, the Investment. But
thore have been some great changes
since that time. The branch line
long ago ceased to be a minor fac
tor In the company's business. This
was a result almost wholly due to
the rnpld advancement and , devel
opment of tlio great Wallowa
country. This progress Is destin
ed to continue and the branch lino
- will become of still greater magni
tude and Importance

' Fairly prompt and 'accurate re

of operations In France and the

. fairly good track of the events as
they are now piling over ono ano

to the effect tho fifth big drive Is
having on the people of normnny.
' Thero Is no chanco Tor them to got
accurate Information from the ller
II it w,ur office. Tho following in
the dispatches of Saturday Is .1
fair sample:
"That the Franco-American for
cos broke through it some points

reserves were brooch', up and 'held
J the enemy.' "
v Tho German populace will De
fed on that sort of smothered re
ports for a while, but tho Inch
must dawn on them before loug
that their big offensive lias boeu
turned Into a defeat.'
For a long while there was much
dlscus8lo.il going on as to the con
dition or the Oorman mind re
garding tho war. A spoaker, . Dr.
Wirt, who was at the recent Chau
tauqua, said that as long as the
German forces were taking terrl-
tory the German people were amply
'-satisfied, but he believed there
-would be a reaction In this condl-j
. tlon when It became evident that
bore were. chances of nillltnry re
ive rscg.
They will anon have a chance ti
express thonisulveB that l If by
any means .limy uro allowed to
know even a small part of the
truth. , V
This would ho the kind of news
that would of Interest Just now.
AN'XIKTV IS l-'Kl.T.
The mala cause of solicitude for
the recruits now leaving for the
training camps Is that they may
not ho able to reach -Prance In
Unto for the main show.
Whllo It was an extravagance;
the wounded soldier quoted In ti
dispatches the other day elicits a
certain feeling of sympathy. Ho
thought he would he able to get
back, to the ranks In a. couple of
weoks, but he sold, dejectedly,
"The war will ho over by thai
time."
While this wbb' overdrawn In a
chronological sense, thero l-i iu
doubt as to the feeling which this
soldier had In the matter of bclne
In with the grand rush. It may ho
that the soldiers leaving tomorrow
will not bo as fortunate us tlioii"

fircnt strides have been mnde in our
country In wenvlng and coloring mate
rials, since the war hits thrown us on
our own resources. And among the
novelties lhat demonstrate how sue
eessfully'cotton has been turned Into
lovely dress fabrics, there is the new
cotton foulard. It Is very llxht and
stipple, has a pretty sheen, and Is
printed In the same smart and striking
patterns as silk foulard. Two drosses
are shown, above, ono of silk foulard
and crepe grorgetro and the other of
cotton foulard, figured and plain, with
sleeves of georgette. The cotton dress
Is In every way a match for Its silk
rlvnl.
The dress at the left combines geor
gette crepe In a warm tan color, with
foulard In the same color, covered with
a liicellko pattern In white. Whether
the background Is printed In on the
foulard, or the figured pattern Is
blenched out, the fern leaf and flower
motif that covers tho surface Is very
delicate and henutlful. In the skirt
the foulnrd is set on over the georgette
crepe but In the bodice the order Is re
versed. There Is a short plain bodice
of tho silk with an overbodlce of crepe.
This has short kimono sleeves length
ened by n broad bund of foulard mid
finished with a shaped flounce of crepe.

The same tiny buttons are placed In a

So far ns beauty is concerned, one of
these frocks Is as pretty as the other.
The cotton frock Is likely to otitlnst
Its rival and costs less for the materials,
so It Is worth considering where econ

money. '
Ht Not Doing Things by Halve?.
Hats are not doing anything by
halves this season. If small, they are
tres petit. If expenslveness of trim
Is their ambition, they go the limit In
breadth and to emphasize It add a
flatness In crown and trimming, says
the Dry Goods Economist. i
' When they are of straw they are Jhe :
roughest straw, and If they started
out to be tailored, the severity of their
lines is perfection. At the moment,!!
Ihey wish to simulate perfect purity i
in ull white creations. Wings, breasts, '
straw, ribbon, flowers ajl are In spot-
less white1, notvtfn dimly shhdowed
by an unpleasant thought of how long
they can remaln'cleun.
Are Von Ono Of Them?
There are a great many people
who would be very much benefited
by taking Chamberlain's Tablets for
a weak or disordered stomach. Aro
you one of them? Mrs. M. It. Searl
Baldwlnsvlllc, N.Y.t relates her ex
perience In the use of these tablets:
"I had a bad spell with my stomach
about six months ago, and was
troubled for two or three weeks
with gas and severe pains In the pit
of my stomach. Our druggist ad
vised me to take Chamberlain's
Tablets. I took a bottle home and
the first dose relieved me wonoor
fully, and I kept on taking them
until I was cured." These tablets
do not relieve pain, but nttor tlio
pain has been relieved may prevent j
Its recurrence. (Adv.)
