The Argus is a new publication, but it has vim and -speaks without profuse qualification The Argus is a strong represepta: tive of the "wet" side of Jthe' lopal -option question. A new Studebaker 16-passeng-er wagonette is a recent acquisition , to the facilities of the Occidental SEfotel. . This is an elegant rig and ' -would be a credit to any hotel.

Mr. Wilbanks, Johnny Zeis -arid Dick Smith returned Tuesday from their fishing trip to Nash Sake and vicinity.

Two carloads -each were shipped-a weSkagoMon-r doy, two carlords last Monday, and an additional two carloads, are to go next Monday. About 135 head are shipped in each carload. The price which has been five and five and a half cents -is declining and now only three" and three-fourths to four cents is offered.

Avery is the retiring councilman, and Alex Rennie in the middle ward. The interest in the contest is very i-Slight, ven the campaigns for the salaried offices running along under low pressure, so far, all in very .strong contrast to the days of yore. Judge J. J.

"At the suggestion of the honor able secretary of agriculture and his director of the office of public roads, L- W. Page, I am also calling your attention to the plan of the govern ment to demonstrate modern road building methods at Salem and Pendleton, Oregon, later during the present months.

IMPORTANT TO CORVALLIS. Profit by This and Find Safeguard Against Many Ills. Nothing is more important to Corrallis Hi" a tne good health of her people.

Fortunately a combination of rente div s, called Mi-o-na stomach tablets, has ben discovered that absolutely cares in digestion and restores to health and strength the whole digestivesystern. The use of Mi-o-na is a safeguard against ma ny ills. : it acts directly upon the3 eastric gianas, restores perfect action to the di gestive organs, aids the assimilation of lood, and so strengthens the whole di gestive system that you can eat anything at any time without fear of indigestion. - Just one little tablet out of a 50 cent box of Mi-o-na before meals for a few days, and you will soon regain perfect health and strength, and be able to eat anything digestible without fear ofstom- achdifhculties. ' So reliable is Mi-o-na in curing all forms of stomach weakness and troubles that Graham & Wells give a signed guar antee that the remedy will cost nothing unless it cures. Mi-o-na sells for 5O cents and is invaluable to any one who suffers with indigestion, nervousness or- week stomach. Inoculated Red Clover Alsike Rape, Alfalfa, Speltz White clover and Arti chokes.
