HOME FOLK FIRST. (in the ground that "charity begins at home," if for no better reason it is time to draw a halt on this immigration business In iaci, ihe time for doing this is long overdue. This is a fact generally recognized by the more enlightened and better clas3 of foreigners who have come to our shores to make their homes. They understand that it is now time for the enactment of strin gent immigration laws. It is a duty we owe our native born sons and daughters and is to the advantage of foreigners who are already here. Consider the present population of the United States and what it will be f fty years hence, notwith standing Roosevelt's fear to the contrary- The increase of pop ulation will make it hard for a fellow, to find a place to hang his hat, and as for owning a piece of fertile soil, few men of the com mon herd will be so fortunate and to aspire to be a land owner will be bordering on insan ty. Twenty years ago this coast was waging a bitter fight for the exclusion of the Chinese Final ly the desired result was realiz ed. Today a struggle, similar in many respects to that cf twenty years ago is being waged. Then it was a-rains. the Chinese, today it is for the exclusion of the Jap anese. California was the great est force against the admission of the Chinese and is today leading the campaign for tha exclusion of the Japs. Recently prominent Califor nians have been in conforenca with the president for the purposo of securing his promise to throw his power and authority in favor of Japanese exclusion. The Cil'fomians desire an ironclad treaty by the provisions of which Jimnesp cooiies will be absolute ly debarred from this country. Whether they are justified in singling out a certain and dis tinct race of people for exclusion need not enter into the discus sion, for there is no longer rea son or excuse for admitting hordes of people here from any country. If the matter is treated on broad grounds in the spirit of fair play all foreign immi gr ition should be stopped. This would be fair to the people of all nations as all would be treated alike and none could be spoken of as the favored people. would be particularly fair for Americans, either native born or adopted. "America for Amer icans" should be the slogan henceforth. Home folk come first, and first come first served This is not a matter of sentiment it is a question of self protection, the survival of the fittest. Report has it that Francis J. Heney will again conduct the prosecution when the land fraud cases are once more taken up in Portland. For those who desire to see the guilty punished this will be good news. It is equally satisfying to have assurance that Judge Hunt, of Montana, will be on the bench. This is enough to make the guilty wince, but no innocent men need be afraid. Receives Favorable Mention. In the Gazette last week was reproduced an article ou "silos" by Byron Hunter of OAC. In the last issue of the Oregon Agri cuUurist Mr. Hunter's bulletin receives favorable notice and is quoted as follows: "This bulletin goes into the practical methods followed by good farmers in this section of the country, and will be found es pecially valuable by those who I 'SI are coming here from other states. "The several forage jrops dis cussed are red clover, alsike clo j ver, common vetch, pearl vetch, Id peas, alialfa, timothy, the rye-grasses, orchard grass, mea- ciow: fescqe, veJvet grass, corn, ra pe,. thousand-headed kale and root crops. A "For growing thousand head-1 ed kale it is recommended that seed be sown in d. ills in well pre pared and well drained soil as soon afier the 15th ot March as the season will permit. This is to raise plants for setting out. The land on which the crop is to be grown should be well manured and plowed two or three times between the first of March and the first of June. When in per fect titlth, about the first of June, or soon after, plow the land again and drop the plants about three feet apart in each urrow. (They should be so dropped that the gteater part of each plant will be covered by the turning ot the next furrow.) In the evening of the day they are planted roll the land. Two or three cultivations are usually all that can be given before the plants meet. "The bulletin which contains 40 pages can be obtained free of charge by writing to the Oregon Experiment Station, Corvallis." RALLY FRIDAY NIGHT. Endeavorers of Corvallis Elect Of ficers Plan for Convention. The Christian Endeavorers of the city held an enthusiastic rally Friday night at the Congrega tional church, The watchword of the evening was, "Seattle '07," which was put before the society in yellow and white, the state C. E. colors- The eve ning', program was opened with an organ voluntary by Prof. Taillandier. After singing and prayer Mr. M. M. Long, Pres. of the Congregationol C. E. society spoke kind words of welcome to all endeavorers and others who were present- The first address delivered by Rev. C. T. Hurd, was upon the great International C. E. Con vention to be held in Seattle in July next. This convention is a biennial event and was last held in Baltimore, Md-, at which at least 16,000 delegates were present . Some years ago one was hold in San Francisco but this is the first time that one has been held in the Nortwest. The Endeavorers of Corvallis hope to send a number of dele gatesin fact they would like to be able with Endeavorers of Albany and other points to char ter a Pullman for the trip. The fare is to be one fare for the round trip. The convention lasts for five or six days and brings together representatives of Endeavor societies from all over the world. It will be a great privilege to all who can go. Rav. T. S. Handsaker delivered a helpful address on the subject of Consecration. Misses Rose Adams and Emma Thompson sang a duet. The officers of the local feder ation of Endeavor societies were then chosen to serve one year. They are: President, Miss Emma Crawford; vice Pres. Prof. F. E. Edwards; sec'y Miss Margaret Foweils, Treas. Miss Emma Thompson. C. T. Hurd was appointed to serve as counsellor for and with the united society of Christian Endeavorers whose headquarters are in Boston, Mass. The rally closed with a social hour. The expectation is that the rally is only one of several to be held during the year. Worthy of Encouragement. The churches of this city are planning to take up a course of work that it persevered in will ultimately result in vast and far reaching good. Believing that the young boys of from 12 to 15 years of age are as a rule rather eft to their own resources in the way of amusements, they pro pose to organize m each church a club of young boys, the object to be the study of the Bible, but with pientv of wholesome amuse- ments thrown in to keep ail in terested and to give them the so cial advantages and opportunities that the yonng boy so. much needs and so seldom has provided taim.,!;-Tbe line of work to be" followed will be in many-respects similar to t'-at;of the Y. MvC.' A, and each clb will make, an effort to secure all the members possible. When the Y. M. C A. build ing is completed . it is hoped to have these clubs so thoroughly organized and interested that quarters for regular meetings can be secured in the new building probably adjoining the Y. M. C A. rooms. The Christian church organ ized its club last Sunday with an initial enrollment of 28, made up ot the young boys who attend the Sunday school there. Rev. Handsaker and Carl Clark are at be head of the movement at that church, and it is probahle that organization will be perfected in the other churches at once. The move is a worthy one, for the boy of today is the man of tomorrow, or as has been aptly re marked, "Children are the to morrow of society," and on their training largely depends the wel fare of the nation in the years to come. Found a "What-Is-It." Friday night the citizens of Seaside were thrown into a whirlwind of excitement by the announcement that a sea monster with horns three feet long had been washed up on the beach near the mouth of the Necaui- cum river. Quite a number of Deople went down to investigate. They found . , . , J , sometnmg unknown to geolo- gis-s. n loosed llKe a Duncn 01 India rubber, with all kind ot horns on it. A geologist might have called it a gi antic sq ,id but it did not fill the bill. It had onlv one tentacle; it had a head which would hae taken a No. 7 hat and was without eyes. So far a is known, no other specimen has ever been washed up from the depths of old ocean, and the citizeas are waiting to have it named. It has nippers like a seal, a horu like an elk, a head like a turtle, without eyes and the body of an octopus. Men who looked at it were readv to admit that thev had the jim-jims, J J 1 and those who did not see t said that they were glad they were alive. Altogether it was conced ed to be the most tearful monster ever seen on Clatsop Beach. A note from the Oregoaian's Seaside correspondent says: ''Whimsical as this account may seem, it is true. I never saw or heard ot such a monster, and honestly I do not know how to classify it. I: is all I have described it, and if you can throw any light on the subject you will lav me under lasting ob ligations." Real Estate Transfers. Chas. E. Bailey and wile to M. B.

' Additional Local. The largest theatre party in the history of this city is schedu led ,to attend the performance of Th.8;Missouri Girl at the opera bouse on Friday night. . One hundred and twenty seats have been reserved for the senior and junior classes of the college. 17 Miss Ella Johnson left Sunday for Portland to remain ten days. The "New Thought Clnb" which meets at the Miss Helen V. Crawford home every Thursday afternoon was delight fully surprised last Thursday by their hostess giving a unique yalentine party. Dainty refreshments were served and very unique souvenirs were given. All departed declaring "hearts" to be "trumps" and Modern Knights too timid to attack the "Castle Faire." Miss Melvena Elgin visited friends at Peoria Sunday. She took a driver with her. Fresh country butter all the time, at the City Market, 50c per toll. 17if What an Err Is. The average weight of a hen's egg Is two ounces, containing nearly 200 grains of solids, divided as follows: Ten parts shell, sixty parts white, thir ty parts yolk. White of egg consists of about 14 per cent egg albumen and 86 per cent water. There is some fat in it; also salt, chiefly chlorides. Egg al bumen and the albumen of meat coag ulate at the temperature of 103 de grees F. The yolk consists principally of fat, coloring matter and water; 52 per cent is water. It contains also grape sugar and salts, chiefly phos phates and iron compounds. A Pointer For Pigeon Breeders. Those who grow for the fancy and the exhibition hall always divide the males and the females into separate rooms during the winter months. This is thought to strengthen them and im prove their health and producing qual ities. However, this is not the best for squab breeders, as they should be ! continually mated and kept together as j los asJ?ey are mstant one to the other. Whenever they grow tired, one of the otheri they wi drift apapt an(1 j select other matings if the opportunity presents itself. Soft Roasters. The soft roaster is becoming quite an attractive feature with the best growers. Thousands of these roasters are grown throughout New England, fatted, dressed and sent to market about the same time that the capons are in demand. Some clnim that some of the best finished Brahma cockerels, dressed capon fashion, as it is called that is, leaving the neck feathers aud the feathers around the shanks will sell for as much as the capons. Poultry Utilize Waste. On the farm poultry can utilize lots of food that would otherwise be wnst- ea- a ror n poultry raising on The farm snonlrl he mnpp nrnfirnhla than elsewhere. The fowls must be kept in a good average condition all the time. Don't let tbern starve one week and feast the next. Shipping Baby Chicks. Some people claim that shipping young chicks throughout the country Is a cruelty. On the other hand, poul trymen who have received them .a thou sand miles away from their place of birth give evidence that they reached them in good conditio. Notice of Sewer Assessment.

We refer to that boon to weak, nervous. suffering women known as Dr. Pierce' Favorite Prescription. Dr. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staff of The Eclectic Medical Review says of Unicorn root (Helonias Dloica) which Is one of tho chief ingredients of the "Fa vorite Prescription "A remedy which invariably acts as a uter ine invicorator makes tor normal ac tivity ot the entire reproductive system. Be continues "In Melon las we hare a medica ment which more fully answers the above purposes than any uOiar drug with uhich I am acquainted. In ihe treatment of diseases pe culiar to women it Is seldom that a case is seen which do-s not present some indication for this remedial agent." Dr. Fyfe further says: "The following are among the leading Indications for Helonias (Unicorn root). Pain or aching in the back, with Jeucorrhcea : atonic (weak) condition of ihe reproductive organs of cmen. mental depression and Ir ritability, associated witl)chronic diseases of the reproductive organs of women: constant sensation tn neat in the region or the Kid' neys; metrorrhagia (flooding), due to a weak ened consition ofthe rerjroductive system amenoifiresuirressed or absent monthly period.lWsinefrom or accomoaniing an abnoKnai condition of the digestive organs and firjaemic ( thin blood ) habit; dragging sensf jions in the extreme lower part of the abdomen.''

BEWARE OP "DIGESTIVES. The Only Way to Care Stomach Disorders is by Strengthening the Digestive Organs. The ordinary "dyspepsia" tablet ha; r.iined more stomachs than all othe causes combined. Giving temporary re lief, it leaves the digestive system weak er than ever, t r.d the tablets must be con tinued with increasing frequancy. The only way to completely cure stom ach troubles is by strengthening the dige-tive oruans with a Mi-o-na stomach tablet taken before meals. Used in this wav, Mi-o-na excites tin secretion of gastric juice, and when tie food is swal lowed, the stomach is ready to digest it. Mi-o-na stomach tablets are never sold in bulk, but in a neat box convenient for the puree or vest pocket, at 50c. A guarantee is given by Graham & Wells with every box of Mi o-na, that money will bs refunded if the remedy fails to give satisfaction. This shows their faith in the merits of the remedy.
