Almost Blind
Scrofula Affects the Eyes-Little
Boy Treated by an Oculist With
out Relief -But Now He Is Well.
"When my little boy was three months
old his eyes became very sore and he was
almost blind. I took him to an oculist
who treated him for six months, and left
him as bad as he was at the beginning.
Finally Hood's Sarsaparilla was recom
mended and I began giving It to him.
In less than three weeks he was able
to go into the sun without covering
his eyes, and today his eyes are perfectly
well, and his ears and nose, which were
badly affected, are also well. Hood's
Sarsaparilla has certainly done wonders
lor my boy." Mkb. James H. Painteb,

BRUSQUE BREVITIES.
By That Baay Reporter, Sport News Notes
and Bard Facts.
Well, the streets are yet nnspriokled,
bat that condition of affairs will not last
long. Sport bad a long "wah wah" with
Lee Cant well, the boss teamster of the
Heppner Transfer Co., Wednesday, and
Lee is very oertaia that la the very near
future he oan do some business with
Heppner'a dusty thoroughfares, having
borrowed the hot air pump from the
Palaoe Hotel Co , with which he will
pomp the necessary amount of dampen
ing. This is the best news that Sport
oonld give.
Speaking of the water company, they
must be awfully bad people. Their
deep well putnp'tok every drop of
water oat of Pap Minor's well and now
the water is "rotten" and not St to
drink. They pumped all of tbe water
out of tbe Gazette's well one hot, dry
summer, but this year they were good
enough to pump it baok again. That's
horse and borse." So tbe Gazette
doesn't kick.
Why, that water company must have
a set of pings and valves that beat the
world, for it they don't like you yon
won't' get a drop of water, while your
neighbor baa more than enough for all
purposes. They don't do anything in
sight, bat they mast have a set of un
derground wires which they work like a
fresh "girl graduate" does piano keys.
That man Ennia must be a hard oase,
and a pretty shrewd ope, too, if half
what Sport hears about him is true.
One thing that the water company
don't do, even if. like the town of
Heppner, they fail to keep their con
tract, they don't sanction this stealing
of water wbicb is going on pretty gen
erally. It does not hurt tbe water com
pany. It (alls 00 tbe poor consumer
wbo hasn't any cbanoe to steal, even if
he wanted to do so. Suppose the Ga
zette man and a half dozen of bis neigh
bors stay at borne all day Sunday and
turn the water loose on tbe oabbage,
potatoes, squashes and tbe like, what is
the result? We have used more water
than the wbole town oan legitimately
get away with in twenty-four boars.
That night the supply of water is short
and muoh kioking is heard tborughoat
tbe corporation, lathe water oompany
lo blame? Not 00 your "tintype." This
corporation has oorna and bunions like
other people, but Hive satan what is
coming" to bim.
People who want to be honest in tbs
oss of water for Irrigation purposes
should join in ttoppiug this purloining
of water.
Nearly every person io Heppner has
something to say about that celebrated
oontraot between tbe town and the
water company. After all we plebeians
gat in oar opinions, and tbe matter still
remaina unsettled, then tbe lawyers will
get a ohauoe at tt.
j-no wan a wane water oompany are
having a big law suit with tbe town us
at present. Tbia sort of thing seeing to
be a oatoral result.
What ever beoame of that $50 jug of
water that was sent down to Portland lo
be analyzed? It woald be e terrible
blow if Sport should get a few oanoea of
apriug water Into bis system.
No person in Heppner is better able
to make an xplanation that is consider
ed an "ample sufficiency" than Bro.
Harris, of Gilliam ft Bisbee's.
Harry Myers is tbs only person in
Heppner wbo has taken any "Trix"
lately. Harry ia ail rigbl.

In the dintrict of Roiimait is customary
