New Method vs- the Old-
As a comparison in cost of harvesting
with a Holt Combine and harvesting
with the nld header thresher method,
Mr. E. L. Smith, ngent for tho Holt
C., submit I !m following figures:
l.'tmt if Henri lug..
1000 acres ut $1.25 per acre $1250
Cost to thresh 1000 acres of 30 bu.
grain at Go 1800
Lobs of 1 sack per acre on 1000
acres at $1.85 per sack 1350
Totul crmt , $1400
Tu liny Holt llnivriler.
Cost $1800
20 head horses i,000
10 set harness 300
Cost of labor 280
Total cost of outfit and help.... $4380
' j The aove figures show that a furmer
. can pay for entire outfit, pay cost of
' help ami u ivo $2) to his credit. This
is done in the harvesting of 1000 acres.
County Seat Contest.
, Citizens of Union have filed a re
" straining order a?ainat County Clork J.
II. Miiuaugh, forbidding him to place
the names of Union and LaGrande on
the oMciiil ballot for a vote on county
.', a M removal. TLe courts will be called
to puss upon the order immediately, as
the ballots must be printed soon. The
petitions presented to the county court
by LaGrande asking for the renoval
are said to contain at least 1,500 fictiti
ous names and names not on the regis
tration hook, hence the restraining
order from the taxpayers.
Good Races
The prospects for the spring race
meeting of the Walla Walla County
Fuir association. May 25, 2G, 27 and 28,
are extremely flattering. Walla Walla
is conceded by all horsemen to have the
fastest track on the circuit, in fact, it is
even better than last year when it turn
ed out to be a marvel of speed. Already
200 horses have been entered for the 4
days' meet, and many of thorn are al
ready in Walla Walla working out for
the event.
A Secret Method.

It is said that nothing is sure except
death and taxes, but that is not all to
gether true. Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption is a sure cure for all
lung and throat troubles. Thousands
can testify to that. Mrs. C. B. VanMe
tre of Shepherdtown, W. Va., says "I
bad a severe case of bronchitis and for a
year tried everything I heard of, but got
no relief. One bottle of Dr. Kings New
Discovery then cured me absolutely."
It's infallible for croup, whooping
