Mr. Howard states that haying is well along in his neighbor hood. He is row Hooding his alfalfa fields which works a hardship on the grasshoppers but is good for the alfalfa He expects to get a fair yield for a sec ond crop. The Palace hotel has its old cook back again, Tome Iheda, the pleasant little .Tap, having arrived Saturday, after an absence of about eight months. In Hepimer the Japanese have established a reputation for courage long before the opening of the Russo-Japanef e war Tome and another of Ids countrymen walked right out in the Hood and res cued two women who were floating by when all the Americans who were watching considered the feat too haz ardous. Impaired Digestion May not be all that is meant by dyspepsia now, but it will be if neglected. The uneasiness after eating, fits of nerv ous headache, sourness of the stomach, and disagreeable belching may not be very bad now, but they will be if the stomach is Buffered to grow weaker. Dyspepsia Is such a miserable disease that the tendency to it should be given early attention.

The storm Monday evening, though not to be compared with the memorable one of June 14, 1903, in volume or mo mentum, was nevertheless of sufficient vigor to alarm many of the residents of Heppner and Willow creek who had passed through the great disaster of last I Reason. The storm of this week gathered about 7:30 o'clock in the evening of Monday, heavy, rain clouds extending north and west over the valleys of Wil low, Ilinton and lthea creeks. There was nothing of the cloudburst order about it, but for an hour or more the rain came down yiolently, tapering off to a drizzle by midnight. The feature most noteworthy ot the storm was its brilliant electrical display, which, to those in a mood to appreciate it, was truly sublime. The moonless night was almost continuously illuminated from the vivid and frequent lightning flashes, bolts extending apparently from the zenith to the earth, sometimes branching off laterally from the main streak. In Heppner the first freshet arrived about 10 o'clock, duly heralded by ner vous watchers who had stationed them selves along the valley. They were de termined the people should not te caught napping again. This did what damage was done in the town, which, however, was much smaller than it Beemed. All ot the temporary bridges built shortly after last year's flood were washed away or loosened, and a few low-lying gardens were flooded. The damage to the city will be trifling, since the structures were but temporary af fairs, with mud sills resting in the bot tom of the creek. It is probable they will be replaced in a more substantial manner. A noticeable effect is the widening of the main channel, so that should the fume amount ever be pre cipitated again on Willow creek it will be confined within its banks. On Hinton creek Frank McKmght and Thns. Matlock were damaged by flooding the alfalfa fields. Considerable hav was also lost. A MIKACI'l.orS ESCAPE. Freight Far Separates Horses and Omnibus without Injury. One of the most remarkable escapes from imminent death was that of Sam Meadows, 'bus driver of the Palace hotel, Monday morning. He had reached bis stand at the depot, fastened the lines securely, as he supposed, and left the vehicle for a moment, as is fre quently necessary in looking after pass encers and baegage. During Ins mo mentary absence the horses, it is sup posed, got to kicking at the flies, when they pulled the lines down and started to run across the track. Meadows made a run for it and landed in the 'bus from the rear, making one or two efforts to reach the lines. He did not notice an acvancing freight car, how ever, in time to control the team or even to jump. The locomotive was making a flying switch, and the brakeman on top of the separated car could not stop it. It plunged into the rig exactly between the horses and 'bus. The horses were Worst of all Experiences. Can anything be worse than to feel that every minnte will be yonr last? Such was tbe experience of Mre. S. H. New son, Decatur, Ala "For three years, she writes, "I endured insufferable pain from indigestion, stomach and bowel trouble. Death seemed inevitable when doctors and all remedies failed. At length I was induced to try Electric Bit ters sod the result was miraculous. I Im proved at onoe and now I'm completely recovered." For Liver, Kidney, Stom f cb and Ecwel troubles Electrio Bitters is tbe only medicine. Only 50o. It's guaranteed by . J. Slooam, Drnggiet. Is it true you want to look old ? then use Hall's Hair Renewer, of early life restored to your H V mm am .mw w freed by the impact and thrown to one side, while the 'bus, with Meadows aboard, was thrown on the other. Truth is stranger than fiction, and we are pleased to record that neither Mead ows nor the horses were seriously hurt. A few bruises to the quadrupeds com prised the injury and they trotted home in good order. Even the 'bus will be on duty again before Iodu, one of the Bprings having been somewhat bent up, but otherwise as sound as ever. The car was shocked the worst, having left the track as if in sheer disgust. NATURE'S LAWS. All ImpoFtant Provision Observed by . VV. Vincent. G. W. Vincent is one of Morrow county's most successful alfalfa growers in the rich alfalfa growing district of Butter creek, as well as a practical all 'round ranchman whose advice is valued and whose counsel is frequently fol lowed by his neighbors. A large meas ure of that success is due to his habitB of observation and his predilection to utilize or adopt the circumstances and phenomena of nature. For instance, seven years ago he ob- served tbati the grasshoppers were dy- ing. Until very recent years the grass- hopper has been the most destructive pest with which the altalfa and wheat grower has had to 'contend. Mr. Yin- cent's curiosity was immediately aroused, and examining one of the dead grasshoppers he found a hole in the in- sects body which apparently had been eaten out, extending to and including the intestinal structure. This led him to observe aflected insects when he dis- covered the eggs of ally which had been laid under the butt of the wing, in all processes of development from the newly laid egg to the fully developed larvae. From this time on the grass hopper decreased in numbers until it was no longer a pest. He sought and found the fly which laid the egg and communicated his discovery to the Cor- vallis Agricultural College, at whose re- quest he sent some of the flies and some unaffected grasshoppers. With these the proiessors developed the same con- ditions which Mr. Vincent discovered. Again the squirrel used to be an in- sufferable pest. All methods of fight- ing it proved inadequal and costly, and the farmers were becoming disheart- ened when finally Mr. Vincent noticed tl at nature had risen to the emergency. lie noticed that the animals were losing thefr flesh, growing Btupid and occn- sionally dying. He captured one of the enfeebled squirrels and examining . it found a red parasite somewhat re- sembling a chicken louse, which in- fested the skin and denuded it of fur. Today, the euuirrel is a rarity and Heppner druggists say they do not sell as much squirrel poison in a year as they used formerly to sell in a day. A third time Mr. Vincent records an observation in his cherry orchard. Of this he is very proud, but his hopes of realizing fruit were ever dashed by rca- son of the predatory robin and other birds, which while cheerful visitors, took too much toll for a just compensa tion. This spring the blackbirds visited him and he allowed them to nest in the orchard unmolested, He found that the blackbirds brooked no rivalry of their feathered neighbors and invariably drove them away. The blackbirds, however did uot molest the cherries and for the first time, Mr. Vincent revelled in a nlaniiflll Blinnlr nf tliiia f'ltr rvrlta early fruit. We note these instances as tending to show how the habit of observation ben efits the farmer. It seems to be a law of nature to prevent an over-abundance of anything in creation, and that sooner or later she provides a parasite to com bat and minimize it.

The phenomena of Nature are ever about us and its benefits within our grasp if we but chooso to observe and recognize them. mt; it i : ii. estate i)i:Ai., Hugh 1'icUls ICitm-li Nought by Heo. J. C'nrrin. One ot the largest real estate deals ever recorded in Morrow county oc curred this week. The Hugh Fields stock ranch containing between 11,000 and 12,000 acres of land was sold at sheriff's sale to Geo. J. Currin, of Hepp ner. (The consideration was $.'10,000, which is considered a very reasonable figure. The place which belonged to the Field's estate is operated by Mc Knight Bros, the big sheepixen. FOU 10O5 FA I1C.

The Modern School of Commerce TEACHES PRACTICAL SUBJECTS PREPARES FOR BUSINESS Write for Catalogue Pendleton. Oregon As to Exhibit. Judge Avers, of the Mcrtow connfcj committee on advertising for the Lew'K and Clark Exposition, has the following to say to exhibitors : "In th fir st, place wo want a full and honest exhibit. W;, want to show what grows on our poo? lands as well as on our $125 an acre val ley lands. Every cereal exhibit should bear a label containing the name of thf grower, and a description of the kind oi land p-odiicing it. Something like this . 'damp'e ot rye, grown by John Smith, on semi-arid land.' Any other pert I nent detail may be added, such a ele vation, rainfall or the entire absence oi it, methods of cultivation, tc. Ou the other hand care should be taken not to make the descriptions too wordy just a pithy statement of important facte. Another important thing to remember is to furnish good generous samples. The committee can make no uso of lit tl o wisps of grain that you can hold be tween yonr thumb and finger. Furnish good generous bundles from eight inch es to a foot through. The grain should be carefully pulled up by the roots and' encased in good stiff wrappings so the heads will not break or droop. Mark on the outside label: 'Exhibit for the Lewis and Clark Exposition Handle with Care. To Geo. Conser, Fair Com missioner, Heppner, Or.

A Husband's Soliloquy Well, well, I never happened to think of it, but that wife of mine hi a pretty good frau. sfie's been niggering alonj.: for years saving the nickels at her e;u. while I have been squandeiing dollars at mine, and she hns been satisfied will the reward of a pleasant loo!:.

I have been taking it as a. matlur o.' comse all the time, and I Iiiivh acfiullv been more courteous and went out o! mv way many more times to do things for other people that it would n't oecui to me to do for her. Now I hear Phi! Metschan is going to spread himself or. a dinner Sunday, an anniversary event or something or other, and I believe I'll give her the time of her life. Sun day morning, just after breakfast, I'U go up to her and I'll kiss her and say "Darling, never mind making up a fire today. We'll go down to the PaL'.ce for dinner. It's been quite a while shit:, you took a holiday, and probably jo!"l! enjoy a change from your iv n cuok ing." That will kind of ple.i.e hvr .net remind her of our r mrNii i ; days.
