Wo Guarantee our J. I. Case "AGITATOR" Separator, Shown Above, io bo the
Grain-saving Machine in the World.
Over four hundred of theso celebrated machines were in operation last season in
Oregon and Washincton. all of which gave the verv highest satisfaction. There are
twice as many "Agitators" sold each year throughout the United States as any other
make of thresher. This large sale, double that of npy other thresher, is the very stiong
est proof of their superiority.
Wc unhesitatingly guarantee the J. I. Case "Agitator" Thresher to thresh as much
and thresh better in bundles and headed grain, long and short straw and tlax; to bo
more durable and run with less expense for repairs than any other thresher ever lrndo.
Remember that the best machines command the large and paying jobs. If yon
want a thresher, buy the J. I. Case "Aultator," which is guaranteed to lie the best, mid
which has proven Itself Io be so by years of trial in tho hands of the leading farmers and
thrcshcrmcn of the Northwest, arid is known to be a perfect success. Is it not. much
safer and better for you to purchase a machine which has been thoroughly tested for
years in Oregon atid'Wushington, and is known to be a perfect success, than to purchase
"a new and untried machine?
Write to us for special pamphlet, containing numerous testimonials from the leading
farmers of the Xorthwest. as to the superiority of tho J. I. Case machinery. It will pay
you to write to us for prices and terms before purchasing n thresher, no matter what
representations are made nor what inducements are held out to you by others We

It Is comparatively a rare thing for us to
be able to announce an entertainment
which wo honestly feel will be in no sense
a disappointment to our people. Such wc
arc confident will be given by the Koycc it
Lansing Company to-morrow evening In
addition to their entire company of last
season they have secured Mrs. E. Owen
Flint, the famous English comedienne and
character impersonator; also Maude Flint
(7 years f age), the most accomplished
child actress before the public. Her great
success has been attained through her
beautiful rendition of the role of LMitha in
that dellghtfnl little sketch Kditha's Burg
lar. This little sketch will bo remembered
by many us having made such a decided
hit at the Lyceum Theater in Xew York
the past season. Koycc & Lansing's sue
cess is accounted for by their strict adher
ence of presenting a strictly refined enter
tainment, composed of the best artists and
the best vocal and instrumental music.
A Peculiar Mine.
A correspondent writing from Portland
says: "Ciiarley .Miner is tnc owner oi a
mine of peculiar deposit. Samples of tho
find have been examined by numerous ex
perts, including the mineral sharp of the
Smithsonian Institute, but as yet no one
has been found who is able or willing to
name it. A chunk of the stufT about tho
size of a bean was handed your correspon
dent yesterday. It is lighter than chalk,
almost as whlto, has no grit, bnt crumbles
easily. It has no smell, is tasteless, but
burns like blazes. The niece mentioned
was ignited with a mutch and burned brll
liantly, giving evidence of great heating
properties, for fully two minutes, leaving
residue resembling tar. Miller thinks he
has a bonanza, as the stuff, he claims, is
better for fuel than any coal in the world.
The mine is loeated somewhere in the Bine
Mountains, but Just where Mr. Miller dc
clined to state."

As heretofore announced in the columns
of this paper, the lirst game ot tho series
of three, between the Union-Cove anil the
La Oraudo baseball teams, for tho cham
pionship of the valley, was played last Fri
day afternoon on tho grounds of tho Un
ion baseball club, In North Union, name
was called at 2:15 p. t., with La Orando at
bat. They secured ono run, by a miserable
funiblo by a fielder of tho home team, and
Union-Covo picked up the club feeling con
fident nnd succeeded in scoring two runs.
In the next innings our La (iraude friends
scored, by hard work, and the most incx
cusablc blunders on tho part of the home
team, two runs, while five, of the members
of tho Union-Cove succeeded in making the
circuit, l' roin this tunc on our hoys, in
spired to a great e.vlunt by tho cheers of
the jubilant spectators, of whom there
were quite :i number, kept constantly gain
ing ground, and it was evident that, unless
.something extraordinary happened, the
Union boys would win a game tho first in
four years. Their spirits rose and they
played with a vim and energy that was
commendable, wliilo on the contrary the
La (irandc team seemed depressed and
every movement on their part was an effort.

well as the gentlemen, harry Deacon, on
third, made numerous good plays, demon
strating the fact that he Is a ball player.
Smith , in the box, pitched a remarkably
good game, striking out sixteen men.
His outs and ins, ups nud downs, and
zig-zags wore too much for tho visitors, they
being unable to find him. .lap Stevens,
on second, was fine and much credit is
due him for his good playing. Milton Levy
had no opportunity to display his ability,
but was always ''thai'" ready to "freczuon"
to anything that camo Within his reach.
The playing of the other members of the
home team would not bear much criticism.
Tho La (irandc boys arc baseball players,
many of them having participated in league
games in tho eastern states, hut they played
decidedly out of luck, which is the only
thing that v can attribute io their being so
badly defeated. Owing to this fact of tin
visiting club being good play rs tho boys
hero have more cause to feel in good spirits
over thoir success, for had they been
matched against a 'scrub'' team, the lion
o.s would Imvo been slight. This victory
gives Uniou-Covo a lair chance to carry
away the coveted ch.impiniishlp honors,
and also demonstrates tho fact (hat this
section of the state contains "some'' good
handlers of the chili and sphere.

It is not everyone that Is aware of tho
fact that a new game law wut. passed ut tho
last session of the legislature. Tho main
features are as follows: ' It shall bo un
lawful to hunt, pursue or kill any deer or
elk between Nov. 1st. and August 1st.,
leaving just three months In the year. Au
gust, cepteuibcr and October. In winch
they may bo killed. Also uiiy person is
guilty of u misdemeanor who will 1:111 those
animals at any time for their skins or
horns, and during the cIomi season prima
facie evidence against the licensed Is even
having in possession, or offering for sale
any skins or meat. The law is a good ono
and if enforced, as it should bo, will virtu
ally stop deer killing out of season, and
prove n great protection to Oregon's finest
game.
