Oil, How Thankfu
Pain Wa3 Maddening and Hope
Had Been Abandoned Wonder
ful Results of Purifying the Blood.
" A very severe pain came iu my left
knee, which grew worse and worse, and
finally a sore broke out above the knee.
It discharged a great deal and the pain
from my thigh down was maddening.
Large, hard, purple spots appeared on my
leg. I suffered in this way for years,
and gave up all hope of ever being cured.
My wife was reading of a case like mine
cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, and Bhe
advised me to try it. I began taking It
and when I had used a few bottles I
found relief from my suffering. Oh,
how thankful I am for this relief 1 I am
stronger than I have ever been in my life.
I am in the best of health, have a good
appetite and am a new man altogether."

THE
"HEPPNER AGGRIEVED"
Under the above beading, after qnot
ing tbe Gazette in detail in its oritioism
of the iterview of Dr. Bla'.ock, as pub
lished in the Walla WBlia Union, tbe
Walla Walla Htatesman defends the
doctor in tbe following vigorous manner:
"It gives Ibe Statesman great pleasure
to inform tbe Gf.zttte that Dr. Dlalook
gave a correct statement to the Union,
wbiob they garbled iu publication ; that
when the doctor saw the Union bad mis
represented tbe condition, he imme
diately demanded a correction, tbat tbe
correction was promised, but bus never
been forthcoming. Dr. Blalook w
ratber indignant tbat a report so unjust
to Heppner should go out through tbe
looseneea of tbe Uoion's methods, and
be h)mo bad a right to be indigtiant that
be should be made responsible for the
misreureeentation. He stated 1 1 1 (it be
raised tbe quarantine on tbe town aud
on some of tbe bouses, and declared to
the Heppueritea that there was no dan
ger io communicating with them.
'It was bid enough that the morning
paper should so ihgrantly misrepresent
and injure our sister town; but it was
far wor8 to call down on Dr. Blalock,
who deserves only the highest credit aud
praise flora all tbis Northwest ouutry,
tbe blume of a town to wbiob he had
done a great service, as well as the oriti-
ciem of other places which were not
aware of tbe true ciroumstauoes.
"The Blatesmon ia glad to set this
matter right, and ad viae tbe Union to be
more careful in the future."
Dr. Blalook considerately writes tbe
Gazette a most satisfactory explanation
embracing the sentiment expressed in
the (Statesman's comment. In view of
tbe neoessary saonfice subsequent to tbe
announcement of the three mild oases
by onr business men ia goneral, we
naturally took exception to nntruo re
oitals of tbe situation.

Home Enterprise.
Geo. Whiteie made a trip to Portland
this week buyiug extensively for Tbe
Fair. Mr. Wbiteis is proving himself a
wide-awake business man, and through
his energy, tne outside business con
cerns, wuioh round morrow county a
fruitful field for tbeir catalogue dealing,
nre more than alarmed, and will meet
with a deserved routing. Tbe farmers
ami property owners in general are be
ginning to realize that every dollar sent
outside their own county for goods that
oan be obtained here is working tbe
deetruotion of their own property values
and increasing their taxttion. The
business men of Heppner, appreciating
the unjust competition from the outside
ore doubling tbeir vigilauce, and are
united in tbeir efforts to aocommodate
tbe trade of their county. The Fair tbis
week will start "swell team" for tbe
interior witb tbeir special "New Home"
sewing maohioe in obarge of a thorough
eewmg machine man, and it ia safe to
predict that be will meet with encourage
ment, as he deserves, at every farm
house. His team oomus from the famoua
Matlock ranges, and later on will be
matched in a way tbat attention will be
attracted to tbem.
Horses Hold.
Jas, Keeney bas returned to Heppner
from St. Louis aud Kansas City, where
be went tbree weeks ago witb 75 bead of
mixed horses. Mr. Keeney recites his
experiences in an Merestiug manner,
aud attributes big quick sales to his
good tort'inein not falling iuto the bauds
of ' sharks" wbo run the oommissiou
barns, where a man if usually jobbed
out ot his horses and sent home a
'moneyless man" sadder aud wiser,
Tbe prioes there average about as they
would here, judging from tbe recent
anotion sulcs, the advantage there be.
ing that you bave more buyers aud oau
diepose of them in carload lots. Like
nil otber products, a combination
stands at tbe "forks of the road" to
meet you aud "do you," if you fail to do
them first. At Kansas City ba sold tbe
first carload, while the otber two found
buyers io Ht. Louis, .fames seemed to
enjoy the little game, and may try them
onoe more some time in tbe future.
(iinllilf lies Iti-stiiretl.
Tbe personal and brevity odlumns of
tbe Gazette, registering tbe influx of
farmers and stockmen to onr oity since
last Saturday is evidence enough of the
exaggerate ! report of smallpox here, nnd
tbe faot tbat tbe false alarm io tbe
country is at an end. A majority of
lone' business men have been with us
and our streets have been well lined
witb teams from John Day, Canyon City
and Long Creek. Among those loading
freight for these points were Drowning,
Frye, Vegas, Hiotoo aud Tip Williams.
As many express it, "tbe c hid try in
general is loyal to Heppner, and tbe pre
tense of I'endlttou, Baker City and
ather poiols natobing most of out trade
is all talk. As long as Heppner baa the
goods aud prioes, she will bold the trade
she is entitled to."
