. OF BENEFIT TO ALL
Kssparilla is the name of a new remedy
most successfully prescribed for a "world
of troubles. For derangements of the
digestive organs it is a natural corrective,
; operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating a healthy activity. Its bene-
) ficial influence extends, however, to every
portion of the system, aiding in the I
processe of digestion and assimilation or !
t food, promoting a wholesome, natural !
; appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad ,
' breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
I stipation and the long list of troubles '
directly traceable to those nnwfaolesome '
i conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi- '
ness, headache, back acne and despond
i ency due to inactivity of the liver,
' kidney and digestive tract. It is a .
strengthening tonic of the highest value.

IT MADE
OF RAILROAD RATES
IS FILED WITH STATE COMMIS
SION BY ENTERPRISE COM
MERCIAL CLUB.
Salem, April 28. Formal complaint
has been filed with the railroad com
mission by the Enterprise Commer
cial club, charging unjust dlscrlml-r-atlsa
against Enterprise and Joseph
on 'tho ?art of the O. R. and N. The
complaint alleges that the railroad
favors Elgin and the other towns
nearer the mail line, and that con
tinuous distance tariffs are applied
to all towns on main or branch lines
except those on the Wallowa exten
sion, and that the branch rate there
Is proportional to mileage added to
continuous tariff on all , business
originating or destined to the towns
beyond Elgin. Wool is the principal
commodity shipped In sacks and
bales from these town.
The railroad commission has noti
fied the Oregon Railway ft Navi
gation company and It will be asked
to show the alleged discrimination
does not exist and why the condi
tions complained of are maintained.
The foregoing dispatch is in the
main correct. The complaint if suc
cessful will do away with the double
local rate 3 betwean Wallowa valley
points and La Grande on both incom
ing and outgoing freight, and bene
fit every consumer and producer ' in
the county. The reductions in
freight would amount to thousands of
dollars annually. .
In Favor of Homesteader.
The suit of the government against
the homestead entry of Frank Cum
mlngs, over on Snake river, ho been
decided by the La Grande office In
favor of Mr. Cummlngs, who was
represented by Attorney D. W. Shea-han.
