OREGON, TUEflDAY, JULY VALE RAISES SEED ALFALFA f AND GETS GOOD RESULTS! VALK, (Jr., July 13. Owing to the backward iichh of the Spring, the al falfa crop will be comparatively light this year in Malheur county. How ever, the M-ed crop bids fair to ba pxwdingly good. This is a new feat urc that has been introduced into the f anning within the last two yeara, and one that is gaining ground every year. Heretofore the alfalfa hay crop ha been the major crop in tliij part of Oregon, but it haw been found that the soil is betcr adapted to the raining of the need, and that it is more profitable to cut only one early crop and then allow the alfalfa to seed. The farmers in this section realize from $50 to $100 an acre from the seed, and it is not uncommon for the yield to bring $120 an acre. This is exclusive of the first hay crop. WOULD PAY $500 FOR RIDE IN AEROPLANE WASHINGTON', July 133-Secre tury William B. Ilnyward of the re publican committee is willing to pay $.100 fora ride in a Wright brothers' aeroplane. Ho so declared himself to a (.'roup of Nebrnskans in the lob by of the Hotel Willard. 'I had the first automobile in the state of Nebraska," said Ilayward, "and I played in the first pnme of golf in that state outside of Omaha, but I never was so crazy about nnv- thing as I am about the Wright fly in? machine. . I would be willing ti give .4.100 for the glory of being their first regular fare." Prepaid Raiiroao Orders. "Something which is of consider known is the system of prepaid or ible interest to the public generally and which is perhaps not generally ders now in effect between stations of the Southern Pacific company and all points, in the United States.

Approved June 22d, 190ft. W. n. CANON, Mayor. Attest: BEN.T. M. COLLINS, Recorder, 13, 1900. On. w. En.ugfa. The British academy once had print- rl a few copies of an important work for presentation to some foreigners ivho, from their prominence in the sol intlflc world, were best entitled to be honored with the sift. Professor Airy, tho astronomer royal, was requested to make a selection of the names. A few days after lie had sent In his list he was Informed ly tlie secretary of tbo admiralty that "my lords" were struck by the number of unknown names included mid that they wished j to make an Inquiry on the subject. Airy asked the secretary for some specifications as to the names referred to. "Well, as au example," said the sec retary, "here is the name of Profegsor XI. F. Gauss of Gottlngen. Who Is be?" "Gauss is one of the greatest mathe maticians of the age and stands among the two or three most eminent masters in physical astronomy now living. Who else do you wish to know about?" "No one else. That will do," replied the secretary. What Man Owe to Bird. "It should be realized." said a nat uralist, "that without birds to bold in check the insects vegetable life soon would cense and lift) for man would become imimssible upon the earth. Birds are nature's check to the amaz ing power of Insects to increase. If insect life were allowed free course it would soon overpower plant life, and therefore animal life. Including that of man. would be impossible. This is an astounding conclusion, but It Is the conclusion of science. If tbe birds were gone very soon the leaves would disappear from the trees, and tbe limbs would be festooned with the webs of caterpillars or with masses of their nests. These would move from tree to tree, increasing by the million as they advanced. In the course of a few seasons there would be no trees. In the fields other species of insects would destroy tbe grass and the grain and all vegetable life, and tbe ground would be as if a sea of devouring mouths had passed over it." . Laziness. "Laziness is responsible for too much of the misery we see abont us,' said a clergyman. "It is all very well to blame alcohol for this misery, to blame oppression and injustice, but to what heights might we not all have climbed but for our laziness? We are too much like the supernumerary In the drama." he went on, "who had to enter from tbe right and say, 'My lord. the carriage waits." " 'Look here, super. saM the stage manager one night 'I want you to come on from the left instead of tbe right after this, and I want you to transpose your speech. Make it run hereafter, "The carriage waits, my lord' ' ( . "The super pressed his hand to hii brow. " 'More study, more , study r he groaned. The Dragon Tree. The dragon tree of Tenerife Is per haps the strangest vegetable in the world. It is thought to be a kind of giant asparagus, whose dead branches serve as a support for the crowns. New roots as tbey come into being encircle and conceal the original stem, which is far away inside, and the roots which become detached from the stem may be seen banging withered In the upper tree. The trunk is generally hollow, and in tbe case of an old tree which was destroyed in 18G7 there was a spacious chamber which had served the natives as a temple tor gen erations. The tree was forty-eight feet around and ulncty-flve feet high and Is supposed to have been origi nally watered with dragon's blood, which is the name now given to the sap. This is a regular article of commerce. WANTED Timber and Coal Lands ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING CON TRACTS TAKEN AND ESTIMATES FURNISHED. B. H. Harris & Co.

No more money will be collected in tha saloons by the Salvation Army las sies in Spokane. Adjutant Dean states that many of the supporters of the army and many of the active members have been compluining against this work for some time, holding that the omney should se cured in some other way. The fact that women of the army are the ones who will sell the paper is responsible for this action. The officers and supoprtera of the army ure not in favor of having women enter these places to sell the publi cation. Help for Those Who Have Stomach Trouble. After doctoring for about 12 years for a bad stomach trouble, and spend ing near $500 for medicine and doc tors' fees, I purchased my wife one box' of Chamberlain's Stonach and Liver Tablets, which did her so much good that she continued to nse them and they have done her more good than all of the medicine I bought be fore.
