for the alum compounds.
NOTE. Safety lies in buying only
Royal Baking Powder, which is a
pure, cream of tartar baking powder,
and the best that can be made.

It is gratifying to every citizen of thi
state to know that the progress of city of
Portland was not retarded by the fact the
great Lewis and Ciark fair of 1905 was
held there, on the contrary was the step
ping stone to wonderful increased develop
ment. A greater Portland means a
greater Oregon.
There is an increasing demand in the
west for deposits of lime for Portland
cement of magnesite of gypsum, and of
o her materials used in industrial lines. Dar-
.e.ul.rlyin connect oi with construction
work. This impetus is due to the great
demand for Portland cement in connect
ion with the railroads and extensions, the
buildiug of the large government irrigat
ion enterprises. Recently the prospective
demand for an immense amount of builJ
ing material in connection with the re
construction of San Francisco has given
a new acceleration to the demand.
Plans have recently been completed I
for two additional large Portland cement1
plants to be located in California. Another
plant is just completed at Ogden Utah,
and negotiations for still another plant in
Utah are still under way. The develo
ment of these economic minerals and of
building materials will add a large factor
to the wealth of the western states.

DAIRYING IN JAPAN
A famine is predicted th is year in Rus
sia, in addition to the other troubles now
threatening that unfortunate country.
The exceptionally dry spring has greatly
affected the crops and from many pro
vinces come reports that the peasants
will be unable to get aicrg without gov
ernment help. In a report just issued by
the Department of Agriculture it is stated
that crop prospects in Rusv.a are probably
less promising than a mortn ago.
Wonderful has been the advance in
electricity. The ue of e'ectr c ty for heat
has advanced bt little ard we are pract
ically as far frcrn heatxg for practical
purposes as we were fifteen years ago
when it was p e::lc;ed that hy this time
cities the size of La Gi ancle would be
heated from distant or local power stat
ions. Tne tiinj iruy yet cvna bjt it is
not looked for soon. Experiments so
far make it too exper.si.e for practical
util.ty.
Articles have appeared in some of the
papers recently to the effect that Japan
is developing the dairy industry with such
rapidity that it will probably soon shut
j out, by home production, imports of dairy
I products from United States. As the
taste for dairy products has not yet been
accquired to any great extent by the
Japanese people and farming land is
utilized in that coun'.ry in suJ) a way as
to make it difficult to profitably keep
many milch cows, the reports of the
rapidity of the development of the dairy
industry published appeared to be not
well founded. The only dairy product
largely used in Japan and other Oriental
countries by the natives is condensed
milk. Of this article Japan imported to
the value of $325 154 in 1901 and $804.

Mrs. Mary H. Walters, of St. Clair bt.,
Columbus. O.. was literally starving to
death. She writes: "My stomach was so
weak from useless drugs that 1 could not
eat. and my nerves so wrecked that I
could not sleep: and not before I was given
up to d;e was I induced to try Electric

improvement began at once, and a com
