In 1872 there gas a great deal of diarrhea, dysentery and cholera in fantum. It was at this time that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy was first brought into use. It proved more successful than any other remedy or treatment and has for 35 years maintained that record. From a small beginning It sale and use has extended to every part of the United States and to many foreign countries. Nine drug gists out of ten will recommend it when their opinion Is asked, al though they have other medicines that pay them a greater profit. It can always be depended upon, even In the most severe and dangerous cases. For sale by Charles Strang. ORKM FRVIT CROP. Much has been received from ap parently reliable sources to l"dcfcate that the Oregon fruit crop would be short on one end this season, but it doesn't look so bad to C. A. Malboeuf district freight agent of the Southern Pacific, who has been up acd down the line a good deal of late. H says: 'I do not believe that any living man today can have a conception of what this country will be In ten years from now," said Mr. Malboeuf. He continued: "The green fruit crop In Oregon will be the biggest on record this year. It appears now that It will be twice as large as last year. The value of green fruit grown In Western Oregon lest year was estimated at $4,825,000 and there Is no doubt that these figures will exceed $5,000,000 this year. There are over 35,000 acres of green fruit In bearing and more than this not In bearing. The acreage is In creasing at a phenomenal rate. In five years we should be shipping 5,000 cars of fruit. Up to this date the number has never reached 1,000. The increase is due partly to the fact that the old settlers are setting ont fruit and partly because nearly all tne easterners who are coming In are going Into the fruit growing business. This year. In the neigh borhood of 10,000 acres of apples and pears were planted, including about 500,000 trees. 'The Southern Pacific is doing everthlng it can to promote the fruit growing business and allied Indus tries in Oregon. We have done some little work in encouraging the start ing of canneries, because the more canneries the more freight there will be to haul, and the more freight there is the more prosperous the peo ple as a whole, which Includes the railroads. Two years ago there were four canneries In this section with a capacity of 70,000 cases, last year thee were six canneries with a capa city of 100,000 cases, this year there are twelve canneries with a capacity of 200,000 cases. And still there are not enough. There are not enough to handle the present output of the fruit farms to say nothing of the en ormous Increase in the acreage that Is being made every year. Medford neds a cannery, Salem needs one and needs It badly, and I understand there is a good chance for another one next year. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy Would Have Saved Him $100.00. "In 1902 I had a very severe at tack of diarrhea," says R. N.. Far rar of Cat Island, La. "For several weeks I was unable to do anything On March IS, 1907, I had a similar attack, and took Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy, which gave me prompt relief. I consider It one of the best medicines of ltd kln In the world, and nad I used it in 1902 I believe It would hare saved me a hundred dollar doctor bill." Sold by Charles Strang. lOORIU. THAN THIS IHKfK. NEW YORK, July 17. Persons in the flfteen-a-week class will be inter ested in learning that Stuyvesaut Fish, former president of the Illinois Central railroad, says this: "la my opinion, it li really harder for persons who have had an Income of say, $250,000 a year, to come down to live on a $50,000 a year basis than for a man who baa been earning $15 a week to accustom himself to living on $10 a week." In Mr. Flail's opinion, the relative suffering is greater. The financial made this statement today to a reporter, as he boarded the steamer New York, of the Amer ican line, with Mrs. FiBh, bound to tour Europe in their automobile un til September. They have no fixed Itinerary. "There Is no indication of a re vlval in business," went on Mr. Fish, with an air of gloom. "I hase this observation on conditions as they exist In Newport. Wealthy persons there are not paying cash for their customary expenditures, but are stretching their credit as far as pos sible. There are many who are un able to find the needed cash." Having stated the outlook as one gets It through the windows of a stone cottage at Newport, Mr. Fish continued: "The railroads this year will show big gross earnings, but the net profit will lie sma., .als being due to the excessive wages demanded by labor There are signs of splendid crops, but the farmers will get moat of the profits. "The army of the unemployed will grow. Rich men who stay in tnis country will be heavily bled for cam paign contributions, on the plea that the election of some candidate who can restore normal conditions must be insured. August will be dull in all lines, as Is customary In a cam paign year, and I look for a louder chorus of the hard times cry." When questioned about railroad rates and wages, Mr. Fish replied: "Our getting gold from Europe last fall when we needed it sorely was no miracle. We got the gold be cause we had shipped our wheat and cotton over there. It was simply the working out of the law of supply and demand, and that same law and no other will eventually regulate the question of wages and freight rates." When asked If the demand for capital was not increasing, Mr. Fish replied : 'Yes. by charity organizations " FRENZIED FINANCE. NEW YORK, July 20. Lloyds, the London underwriting Arm, has ac cepted a new risk. During the last tew days the firm has been writing policies on the election of William J Bryan. It bas placed over $500,000 worth In the Wall street district since Tues day. The rate Is 10 per cent. The have been taken out mainly by brokers and financiers who are long on e market, and who were anxious to hedge against a smash in stocks in the event of Bryan's elec tion. In other words, at the 10 per cent rate, a policyholder has but, say $10,000 against $100,000 that Bryan will be elected. The only difference Is that in either event Lloyds keep the $10,000, thus making the oddj against Bryan 9 to 1. Bertschmann and Maloy, Insur ance brokers of No. 16 Exchange Place, said today tbey did a busi ness of $445,000 in one day and have applications for $1,000,000 more, to: which they were awaiting Lloyd's confirmation. SCAB ON VALLEV APPLES. OREGON CITY, Or., July 20. County Fruit Inspector Lewis is au thority for the assertion that many of the apples In the Willamette valley are affected with scab, due to the wet and backward spring. While the red apples are not seriously affected, scab has appeared on the light skinned fruit, such as Yellow Newtowns and Belltlowers. Had the apples been sprayed with the right kind of ma terlal In time the scab would have al most entirely disappeared, but it was not noticed until late. Only the ex terior aopearunce of the fruit is In jured, as the fruit under tbe cVIn Is In prime condition. San Jose scale is not nearly so gen eral this season as In former years, and the Clackamas county growers are learning modern methods In car ing for their fruit. AFTER NEGRO VOTE. FAIRVIEW FARM, Neb., July 18. William J. Bryan and Don Farns worth of Chicago, who managed Charles A. Towne's candidacy for the presidency, discussed organization of negro Democratic clubs in Indiana. Ohio and ..nols today. An effort will be made to poll as large a negro vote as possible. The matter will be further discussed at Chicago next wee, when Bryan goes tbere. WILDS i..- ..HUT EVAPORATOR. COTTAGE GROVE, Or., July 20. The Cottage Grove Fruit company, which was organise din this city last spring, with C. M. Denswore of E gene as manasger, is now rapidly completing Its building on ground ad' jacent to the Southern Pacific com pany's right-of-way. The dryer will be one of the best tn Lane county, with a capacity of 20 tons of green fruit every 24 hours. The building Is 40x70 feet, and is built on the tunnel dryer plan. The company Is Incorporated with a capital stock of $5,000. Manager Densmore will have the plan In full operation for the pruno crop. The erection of the drier is prov ing an incentive for the laying out of a number of large orchards. Hoy's Life Saved. My little boy, 4 years old, had a severe attack of dysentery. We bad two physicians, both of them gave him up. We then gave him Cham berlaln's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy, which cured him and be. lteve that saved my life. William H. Strollng, Carbon Hill, Ala. There Is no doubt but this remedy saves the lives of many children each year. Give it with castor oil according to the plain printed directions and a cure Is certain.

Gar field proposes to make the volcano of Kilauea a National monument similar In all respects to the Yellow stone Park reserve, and the petrified forests of Arizona. The same action may also be taken with regard to Mount Haleakala, the world's great est extinct crater. Secretary Garfield visited both of these natural wonders during bis vi sit to tbe Territory Just ended, and be was enthusiastic regarding the volcano which for the past several months bas been exceptionally spec tacular In Its activity. At the time of his visit the crater contained an area of seventeen acres of molten lava in constant violent ebullition. An excursion party of ISO made the trip at the same time. The Secretary will also take steps to declare the site of Capt. Cook's death a national monument also. This spot on a beautiful little bay on the west coast of the Island of Hawaii is now marked by an impos ing stone column erected by the Eng lish government and until the pre sent time cared for by that nation. A great many tourists and others annually visit the place where the famous discoverer of the Islands met his death, and tbe maintenance of of the place may very appropriately be taken over by the Federal govern ment. n the matter of making a Nation al reserve of the Kilauea volcano it will be necessary to secure a trans fer of title to a portion of tbe tract of territory on which It Is located which at the present time Is a por tion of a private estate, but it is be lieved that there will be no difficulty in this matter, and that the nation will then possess one of the greatest natural wonders, and one without a duplicate any place on earth.
