It was a long line and. a merry one. Mayor Gordon opened the Commercial Club meeting, but introduced Jesse Ed wards. ex-Mayor, who delivered the address of welcome. Mr. Edwards called attention to the fact that when he first arrived at New berg. 82 years ago, the farmers in the vicinity grew little else than wheat, and not. very much of that.

Moore Brothers, who own a big duck ranch Just north of Rex, also were out with a nice display. Several boxes of high grade apples were dis tributed and eagerly consumed. The crowd was growing hungry by this time. The handiwork of Rex's women was phown in the decorations that beautl fled the station and its immediate surroundings. One of the women called attention to the fact that Rex annually sends to the Portland markets more than 000 crates of strawberries and that other small fruit are produced in pro Jportlonate volume. v Mr. Strahorn Speaks. Mr. Strahorn was permitted to make Jiis speech at Rex without interrup tion. He expressed his interest in the enthusiasm manifested by the size of the crowd at the station. Springbrook was allotted only a few minutes on the schedule. Some of the travelers got out and saw the big cannery that annually turns a lot of fruit produced in the district into money. Then they were off again. By the time the train got to Newberg the sun was doing a good business, and overcoats were left in the cars. Every top, including this one, was made on schedule time.

ULL TIME WORK PROMISE Portland Man Indorsed on Two Tick ets at Primary Election First to Announce Himself to Suc ceed A. M. Crairford. Frank S. Grant, City Attorney of Portland from 1910 to 1913, and prior to that Chief Deputy City Attorney for three years, yesterday announced him self a candidate for the Republican nomination for Attorney - General of Oregon.

I desire to have printed alter my name, on the nomination ballot, these words: 'Will devote entire time to or fice and endeavor to give conscientious service. Mr. Grant Known Widely. Mr. Grant is known widely through the state as well as in Portland. Among the many important cases he handled while City Attorney of Portland was the Broadway-bridge case, which he carried to the Supreme Court of the United States and won. Ho also argued the litigation over the steam railway in Fourth street before the United States Supreme Court, and won that. It was rather an unusual coincidence that steam service in that street gave way to the new electric service yester day.

Both Tickets Indorse ' Ulna. In the city election of last June, at which commission form of government was also before the voters, Mr. Grant was renominated for another term as City Attorney, being indorsed for the office on both the Republican and Democratic tickets.

A decision wiR be rendered as ood as possible. The Commission placed a valuation of $140,000 on the plant. City Attorney Goss contended that the valuation was too high and if allowed to stand would make the water rentals in the two cities too high. Attorneys J. N. Teal and W. C. McCulloch, representing the -water company, contend that the valuation Is too low and does not rep resent the investment on which the company should earn some return. he had to offer should surely gain him admission to the service. He was dis appointed, however, being shut out in the physical test. The first representative of the en thusiasm of the Spanish - American war, which produced numbtrless namesakes for Admiral Dewey, was noted this week also. George Dewey Tagpart, who said he was born Juno 11, 1896. applied for enli-itment. Lieutenant Smith did a bit ot arithmetic and then asked the boy: "Were you named after Admiral Dewey because of his success at Manila Bay?" "Yes." was the proud reply. "Weil, I am sorry to say that the battle of Manila Bay was fought May 1, 1898, and if you were named after that .you are only 16 years old Instead of 18 as you have said," re marked the Lieutenant. The young fellow whose anxiety to follow in the footsteps of his illustri ous namesake had led him to "fudge" two years on his acre, went out into the world to grow older.

Acid Stomachs Are Dangerous Common Benso Ad vine by a DltlneruJhhed specialist. "A eld" stomachs are dangerous because acid irritates and Inflames the delicate lin ing of tho etomacn. thus hindering and preventing th proper action of tho stom ach, and leading to probably nine-tenths of the cases of stomacn trouble from w hich people suffer. Ordinary medicines and medicinal treatments are useless in cucli cases, for they Jeave the source oC tht trouble, the acid In the stomach, as danger ous as ever. The acid must be neutralised, and its formation prevented, and the best thin for this purpose ts a teaspoon ful ot bieurated magnesia, a- simple ant-acid, taken in a little warm or cold water after eating, which not only neutralizes the aeld. but also prevents the fermentation from which acidity Is developed. Foods which ordinarily cause greatest distress may be eaten with Impunity If the meal Is followed with & little bl sura ted magnesia, which can be obtained from any druggist, and should always bo kept handy.
