Teal Tells Benefits or Conceit, trated Erfort of Railroads. Farm ers and Others in Sherman, Gilliam and Morrow. In Its present campaign to develop the agricultural Interests of Gilliam. Sherman and Morrow counties in the eastern part of the state, Oregon al ready Is doing a work that many East ern states are Just beginning to talk about as a probable benefit for them selves. Nearly every commercial and indus trial Interest In the state has Joined In the co-operative and public-spirited plan to aid the farms of the three so called "backward" counties In secur ing bigger and better crops, a diversity of crops and mors happiness and pros perity on the farms. Since the work was started three years ago some won derful results have been attained. J. It. Teal Marvels at Results. J. N. Teal, who. probably more than mr other one nerson. haa been Instru mental In securing a reformation of agricultural methods in those three counties, has Just returned from a trip to various points In that territory and marvels at his observations. He was accompanied by ft. T. Cox, manager for the D. P. Thompson Company, who, also, haa done much toward the devel opment of that section; K. B. Allller, traffic manager for the O.-W. R- at N. Co.. and C. L. Smith, agriculturist for tha same company. Mr. Miller has been preaching liog-ralslng and diversified farming to the farmers in Kastern and Central Oregon for years, and recently added Mr. Smith to his staff, so that he would be able to assist the farm ers personally In this new line of work. "Three years ago when I flrat be ame Interested In the development of these c. unties." said Mr. Teal yester day, "tue fanners there were shipping In ranaed milk by the carload, eggs by the case and even butter. They raised nothing but wheat and very lit tle of that. They were dissatisfied, discouraged, disgruntled and dis gusted. Aid ' Rallraada Kallated. "I saw then that something ought to be done and In a quiet way I en listed tha aid of the Conservation Com mission, the Oregon Development Lerague, the railroads and other Inter ests. They set about to encourage the farmers In diversified farming and In hog-ralslng. -This week, when Mr. Miller. Mr. Cox. Mr. Smith and I stopped at the home of a farmer In Ullliam County for dinner, everything on the table had been raised right there on the place, with the exception or the augar and the coffee. We had some of the flneat ham I ever ate. a variety of vegeta bles; nice, flakey maahed potatoes, ex cellent cream. good. fresh butter, strawberries and a variety of other things, all of which were grown at home. It proved to us what could be done In the way of diversified farm ing. What that farmer had accom plished was but a fair example of what others are doing. Three years ago they used to tell me that It was Im possible to grow potatoes there. Now I know better. And what can be grown In Ullliam, Sherman and Morrow coun ties also can be grown In Central Ore gon. No one can tell me otherwise." Next October the first Tri-County Fair will be held at Condon to exhibit the products of the three counties In cluded in tha newly-organlxed Tri County Development Ieeague. A liberal premium list already has been an nounced, but In addition to these a large number of patriotic Portland firms and Individuals will give rash prises and cups for excellence in sev eral departments. Practical Prises Offered. Soma of the agricultural Implement houaea In Portland have arranged to give farm machinery and toola for the best wheat grown In each county. The prizes will be awarded at the fair. Mitchell.

CITY ANSWERS UNION OIL Building and Operation of Tank In ' City Limits Is Question Involved. An answer was filed by the city of Portland yesterday In tha suit of toe This Week A fine, large lot of strong Suits for sturdy boys; special values at $3.85 For ages 2 to 12 years. Boys' Washable Suits, 50c to $3.00. Boys' Straw Hats priced 50c to $2.00. Boys' Shoes, $1.35 to $2.50. LION CLOTHING CO. 166-170 Third St. Always Reliable Union OH Company to restrain it from interfering with the latter company building and operating an oil tank supply station in South Portland. The complaint in the suit alleged that after an ordinance had been passed by the City Council and approved by the Mayor fixing the oil tank limits of the city, the plaintiff had purchased property and started to erect a plant, when an other ordinance was passed making new limits for such business. This second ordinance was alleged to be in violation of the United States Consti tution in depriving the plaintiff of Its vested right The answer, a voluminous document of SO typewritttn pages, practically acknowledges all the allegations of the complaint, but sets out as a defense that the original ordinance fixing the oil tank limits was not passed legally and therefore was nota legal act of the city under its charter. The Constitu tional questions raised In the complaint were not specially mentioned in the answer. This answer, however, will court the question involved. If the ordinance Is sustained, the Union Oil Company cannot but have a decision in Its favor. EX-OREGON MAN CHOSEN BOISK KLECTS ARTHCR HODGES COMMISSION MAYOR. Four Commissioners Are Thomas B.

MASHER TO POUND ROCK Annoyer of Girls Gets Xlnety Days In Tazvrell's Court. Nick George, accused of annoying girls In a 5, 10 and 15-cent store by staring at them and jingling money In their faces, was sentenced to 90 days on the rockpile yesterday by Judge Tazwell. A girl, who appeared as a o A c Not only Its proven ability to cure, but its absolute safety as a remedy, has made S. S. 8. the most extensively used of all medicines In the treat ment of Contagious Blood Poison. Unlike the strong mineral mixtures, which temporarily remove the outward symptoms and shut the disease up in the system, there to carry on its destructive work on the delicate and vital organs, 8. S. S. strikes directly at the root, and by purifying the blood of every trace of the virus, completely and permanently cures the trouble. 8. S. S. is Nature's blood purifier, harmless in its action and certain in its good results. It is made from a combination of roots and herbs, each of which has a definite and specific action in purifying the blood. Years were spent In selecting and proportioning the different ingredients, but when 8. S. 8. was perfected it soon demonstrated its superiority over all other blood medicines, and now, after 40 years, it is still the one and only certain cure for Contagious Blood Poison. While driving out the poison from the circulation 8. 8. 8. builds up and strengthens the system by its fine vegetabla tonic effects. If you are suffering with Contagious Blood Poison S. S. S. is your most certain reliance, and because of its freedom from mercury, potash or any other mineral, it is absolutely safe for every one.
