A reader from Holloway Michigan describes six months of severe itching covering arms legs and body. He reports sleepless nights and extensive medical bills before finding relief, dated November 1906 and initials R. R. Bloom. The clipped notice notes a U.S. patent medicine claim and internal testimonial from the era.
A committee weighs possible origins of baseball with focus on early figures like General Doubleday and his links to the sport. The debate notes that Doubleday never claimed founders status, suggesting fresh light could have emerged if he had lived longer.
An advertising notice from LeRaysville New York touts Bucklen’s Arnica Salve as curing bleeding piles and other wounds. The claim cites a twenty year history and urges purchase at Tallman & Co. drug store as part of East Oregonian promotions.
The American Falls Canal and Power company has applied for an acre-foot of water per acre under the Carey project from the government’s Jackson Lake reservoir. Water is optional for landowners, priced near cost, likely around zero to one dollar per acre, with two and a half acre-feet delivered annually for the irrigation season. The government storage reservoir will hold spring flood waters for summer and fall use, with Twin Falls and other systems drawing from it. The plan is the first application by American Falls, seen as cheap insurance against dry years. Also notes brand products and local engagements for a tonic, and a voice teacher available for engagements.
Judge Burnett upheld the Salem city license ordinance for real estate brokers in the case of 8 Page vs Brasher. The ruling overruled a demurrer arguing the ordinance taxed brokers rather than licensing them, thereby barring unlicensed curb stone operators from collecting commissions. The decision weakens curb stone operations and reinforces licensing and tax compliance.
Foreman Massie and a three man crew repair damage to the block signal system caused by recent washouts. Massie has been based in Pendleton for several months and has not yet been supplied with a regulation gang due to the washout disruptions.
Gen Abner Doubleday is credited with origin by Spaulding's Baseball Guide though evidence only traces the diamond concept to a 1839 scene where Doubleday marks the field. The report notes the testimony of an elderly witness, deemed credible by the committee, but stops short of confirming his role.
Petition blanks titled Petition of Candidate and Elector's Nominating Petition are printed and available for purchase at the East Oregonian office, usable by either party for local elections.
A late ad touts a grocery seller offering refunds on poor goods if customers insist on Schilling's Best brand. It urges paying the shopkeeper or returning money, emphasizing a name not on the goods and a crediting policy.
