THE RUSH TO THE IHIERRY FAIR
Today the people of Cove are holding
their first cherry festival and the at
tendance is large. Long has it been
generally known that Cove Is one of
the Ideal fruit .pots of the northwest.
Long has It been' known that Cove Is
tine horns of the best cherries. In or
der to .further 'illustrate and show to
the outside world the merit of its claim
the ' little town and community has
gone to considerable expense to pre
pare an exhibit that is par excellence.
This wa9 not considered an Ideal
cherry year in most section of Oreponj
yet In Cove the growers have cher
ries in large quantities and tbiey are
willing to back their crop by holding
an exhibit, which is evidence of their
faith Jn the Industry.
Cove people are to be commended
for thus pushng to the front and plac-
-.- on exhibition a crop that is bound
to give wide publicity to the Grand
Ronde alley. - ' . ; .
There was but one thought in the
minds of the Grande Ronde people to
day and that was Cove Early in the
morning the big "chod-ebbo' drays be
gan hauling their human loads of buz
zing and expectant freight across the
valley toward the welcome shades of
Mt. Fannie. The trip is especially en
joyable to resident and Granger alike,
for the bumper crops laughingly sway
and nod their golden heads that so
soon are to fall before the crisp step
ping of the. giant "combines" and the
golden coins can be heard tumbling
Into the enlarged pockets of the happy
farmers. '
The commonly thronged bitullthic
trailed through our city were almost
depopulated and the sad-faeed ones
cooped up In their stern office walls
were sad only because they , couldn't
"go to Cove." . .'
CATTLE IX EASTERN OREGON.
: Several loads of Wallowa county
cattle, were shipped through La Grande
last night on their way to the Portland
market. Each load meant a bunch of
money for It has been many, many
years since cattle growers received the
price for cattle they are receiving this
summer. The suppjy is very short and
the demand is heavy, hence the high
price. It tg JuBt as Impossible to di
vorce supply from demand and vlca
versa as it Is to make the sun Mop
shining.
There Is always more or less Jug
gling by trusts and packing houses to
govern prlees, but the great main
spring of the cattle business Is the
supply and demand, after all. In this
I Eastern Oregon country flew people
are raislnit cattle as compared with a
' few1 years ago. Sheep became profit
: able and many entered the business.
' ' ? j .flange for cattle becauw curtailed and
No worse nfw could reach ; the oa(! bjr one rattlemen either went out
northwest than the story of crop fall- r of buginesg voluntarily or were forced
ures in the miauie west. At present pUt
It Is said the stateg over the mountains i The effect of this whole transaction
."will have practically a failure which , l8 now belng fejt Xhe ghortage is on
: mean that a period of close tlms and all over the coontry.' What few cat
financial depression is bound to roi- Ud are jeft ar bringing very high
, low In that region.
Tho reason that this Is bad news to
ganize
years ago to get their business inte
ests effectively represented In con-'
gress in other words, to keop from
being eaten alive, first by the transpor
tation Interestg, then by the manufac
turing interests and finally by- the
sheepmen who, when profits in cattle
took a slump, sprang up on every hand
like the mythical dragon's teeth. The
cowmen call themselves by the go d
mou'.h-filling name of the-'American
National LIto Stock association. All
stockmen are welcome, but the mem
bership Is made up chiefly of cattle
men, the sheepmen prff erring to flock
by themselves. These men represent
over 1500,000,000 In live stock", a source
of gigantic p wer In an age when mon
ey la the ruling force if organized.

MIDDLE STATES CHOPS.
the northwest Is that hard times in
the middle states means a slow lum
ber market Whn the people of Kan
tas, Iowa and Nebraska have light
crops they cannot build many houses
and barns hience the demand for Ore
gon pine Is lessened and the mills of
ths section fee J It. '
No one doubts the fact that Orepon,'s
lumber market Is In the middle states
and no one can doubt another fact: Not so many years ago the cowboy
that the money producing business of. had orders to keep his finger on the
the northwest country Is her lumber trigger; today such actions savor, of
prices and beefsteak Is a luxury carry
ing a heavy expense. It will take
number of yars to change this condi
tion for a cow Is not raised In a year,
Meanwhile there Is nothing to do but
encourage cattle raising. : It Is the
staple Industry of the hills and will In
time prevail again.

It Has Bean Proved That Microbes
Cause Baldness. '
rrofessor Utiiiu of Hamburg. Ger
many, and Dr. Sabourand. the leading
French dermatologist, discovered that
a microbe causes baldness. Tbelr the
ory has time and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried on under the observation of
eminent scientists. This microbe lodges
In the Sebum, which Is the natural
hair oil, and when permitted to flour
ish It destroys the hair follicles and lu
time the pores entirely close, and the
scalp gradually tukea ou a shiny ap
pearance. When this hapMns there
la no hope of the growth of buir being
revived.
We have a remedy which will, we
honestly believe., remove dandruff, ex
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation in the scalp and around
the hair roots, tighten and revitalize
the hair roots and overcome, baldness,

hair roots.
