GROCERIES ARE AN ABSOLUTE
necessity to every human bein?.
From the day you enter the world
until the day you leave it you have
to patronize, directly or indirectly, some
grocery store. You "have to eat to keep
alive. ' Among the earliest lessons taught
in lite is a regard for your diet, by select
ing only fresh and wholesome food, and a
regard for your purse by practicing the well
established rules of economy. We can sell
you fresher and better goods and more of
them for cash than you can buy elsewhere
on open account. Look over our stock,
get our prices, and be convinced.

SEAV CHURCH OF COX
CRETE BLOCKS PLAXXED.
Estlnnteg for a $15,000 Building fo
the Site of the Owe Destroyed by
Lu.t Week's Fire. Are Being Pre.
pared Congregation Is Extremely
Optimistic and Will Go to Work
With a TO
At a meeting of the church board
and members of the Christian church
held last evening at the home of Mrs.
M. S. Whitman It was decided to
build another church as soon as pos
sible. Regarding the rebuilding plans
the following explanation was made
tHs morning by Fred Taylor, a prom
inent member of the church.
"We will rebuild the church as
soon as we can have the plans drawn
and agreed upon. The new church
will be made of concrete blocks and
will cost In the neighborhood of $15.
000. "In rebuilding we will try to put up
a more practical building than the
old one. We will try to get as large
and commodious a church for the
amount of money we will have t
spare. It Is the Intention to cont
inence the building work this fall."
When the old Christian church
burned It was insured -for the sum of
JfOOO. Some of this money the
church people will have to use In pay
ing off a debt and the remainder will
be applied upon a new building. In
order to finance the new building the
church will have to raise money from
different source.
Up to this time definite plans for
r rising the money have not been
worked out but it Is said a man from
the state association will be brought
here to assist In the matter. At thlf
time Rev. Meldrum, pastor of the
church. Is In Scotland, having gone
there to be married. He is greatly
missed by the members of the church
at this time.
The location of the new church Is
not yet settled. The new building
may go up on the site of the burned
house of worship or It may go to an
entirely different portion of the city,
provided a new location can be se
cured and the old one disposed of ad.
vantageously. ,

Bl? Peaches From Echo.
Clifton Cleaver brought up a few
samples of Echo peaches last evening
which will be preserved for the Echo
exhibit al the coming district fair.
The samples were from the orchard
of O. D. Teel In the outskirts of the
tewn of Echo and they were remark
able for size, color and flavor. Large
'quantities of these peaches are going
to waste for want of a market and it
is believed that with orchards well
cared for and crops harvested prop
erly the peach growing Industry will
become one of the finest in the west
end of the county.

Idaho, on June 2, 1903, and the wife

husband mistreated her and failed to
provide a livelihood for herself and
three children. Finally In August,
1907, he deserted her and has since
lived apart. Since that time he has

SI XT1 EX-HOIK LAW KEEPS

Freight Trains "Tied I'p" Hie
Mountain Flvo Engines Coupled
Together and Hun to Kninelu Where
There Was Coal for Engines and
Food for Crews.
Because of the working of the 16
hour day for railroad employes, some
Interesting situations are brought out
on the mountain division of the O. R.
& N.where trains move slowly and
where often since the law went Into
effect it has been necessary to "tie
up" the train crews at a mountain
station.
Recently two freight trains reach
ed Duncan, or formerly North Fork
station, and because of tho expiration
of their 16-hour day both were "tied
up" there by the officials. As there
was no coal for the engines there nor
place for the crews to eat, the engines
five In number, including their help
ers, were coupled together and run to
Kamela, a distance of 23 miles, where
the crews remained until they could
resume work under the federal law,
which requires 10 hours rest after a
16-hour day.
Several times since the law went In
to effect crews have been forced to
lay at a mountain station until their
rest period waa up before resuming
their run.
While the law works a hardship on
the men in this way by keeping them
away from their homes during their
rest period, It Is yet heartily sup
ported by the employes generally and
no serious complaints have been
made.
The officials make every effort to
get a train to the terminal before the
expiration of the 16-hour day for the
crew, but often accidents happen
which make this Impossible.

Pilot Rock Machines Finish Season's
Ran.
Harvest Is practically over in this
section of Umatilla county and about
all that remains. to be done Is for the
farmers to get their grain to the
warehouses, says the Pilot Rock
News. The remainder of the sum
mer will be the farmer's annual
pleasure the selling of their grain.
Charles Lobaugh finished his work
with his combined harvester the first
of the week, when he completed the
threshing of Winifred Jacqpes' west of
town. Mr. Lobaugh reports having
had a very successful run this sea
son despite the disadvantage of a dry
season. The shortage of crops re
duced the regular run about half.
Most of the threshers have com
pleed their runs and are now In the
sheds. While they had not expected
much of a run this year, most of the
threshing men had figured on a long
er run than they wera wide to get.
Many of the farmers are busy haul
ing grain and are making every ef
fort to get It to the warehouses In as
short a time as possible.
, Japanese to work, but being able to
; procure white help, the officials have
seized the opportunity, knowing they
will get better results.
The crew may be Increased In num
bers from time to time, until the mon
ster coal bin is filled to the required
amount.
