AVnde. For a Jew hours Saturday afternoon E. T. Wade, a local real estate dealer, was minus a house and lot, and all he had to show lor It was a worthless check tor J2000 drawn on the First National bank at Grants Pass. Today A. C Chamberlain, who gave Wade the check In exchange for the real es tate Is In the county Jail with a charge of obtaining goods and money by lalse pretenses hanging over him. Chamberlain represented to Wade, It Is alleged, that he had several thousand dollars In the Grants Pass bank and desired to purchase prop erty In Pendleton. A deal was soon consummated by which Wade deed ed to Chamberlain a house and lot and received from the latter the check for $2400. The real estate dealer then wired the Grants Pass bank to see if the money was on deposit there. The re ply was in the negative, but Cham berlain had disappeared. Wade hur ried to the county recorder's office to prevent the transfer from being re corded, but he was too late. The of ficers were notified and a search made for Chamberlain. He was ar rested two hours later by Wade, when it was discovered that Chamberlain had gone to the Commercial National bank and mortgaged the property for J350. Wade compelled the prisoner to deed the property back to him and secured $322 of the mortgage money. Wade this morning paid back the money to the bank and satisfied the racrtgage. "I am out about $25 or $30 on the transaction." he said. When placed under arrest Cham Lerlaln had in his possession a ticket to Omaha. He had deposited some or the money secured through the mortgaging of the property in the bank. The bank book was found several miles south of this city, lying beside the county road. It is thought Chamberlain threw it there to mis lead the officers, and then returned to Pendleton for the purpose of tak ing the night train. DAILY EAST OREGO.VIAX.

It Is easy to say "pure drugs." So easy that many druggists say so from force of habit. The reality requires more than mere "say so." It requires knowledge, experience, con stant and conscientious vigi lance. We eay we have pure drugs because we have. We spent time and money to make sure of the fact. There are no better drugs to be had than we provide. There are no pure drugs that can be had for lower prices than ours. Taliman 2b Co. LEADING DRUCC1STS t New Laundry Machinery.
