Hki-ohtkk, Orafon llalry AaauoUtlnn, Prof. C H. HdmddtT of Alhauy, ex pnamsiawllllugmss to do tho work ueoeasary for bringing alsait the o gsnlnstlon of a stale Dairy Association for Oregon. The need of such an as sochitlou Is strongly set forth In Prof. Hcbmldt's article. The work which he Is willing to uudertuke Involves a large exwudlture of time as well n oouslderulile rinunclnl outlsyou bis part. He should ecrtaluly have the nearty co-operation of every one lu Oregon who is Interested In seeing the greitt Industry of dairying properly de veloped In this state. No piilillc splrlted citizen of the state Mil full to feci that Ills both nn economic detri ment ends ft'tloet Ion upon the enter prise of the state that so Inrgo a pro portion of the dairy products of the state are brought here from the East. Itlsslso. unfortunately, true that In spite of the high prices of dnlry pro ducts In this section, a very large pro nnrilnn nt tliul. u lili'h la nroduecd here brings no profits to Its producers owing to men oi anowiougu sim ooso Icte methods In vogue among pro ducers. ' 'I'lta nrnttfir iluvnlontiient nf tills In dustry will do great things for the general prosperity oi too suite. We trust that tbe press of Oregon will generally give publicity to Prof. Bclunldt's article and that every dairy man In the state will write to him as he requests. Ibtatty'i I'laqo and Organ., Hon, Daniel P. Uciitty, the great or- gitu and piano muuuracturcr, is uinui ing and shipping more organs and pianos than ever. In 1870 Mr. Ileal ty left home a penniless plow-boy. and by his Indomitable will he has worked his way up so as to sell so far, ueurly 100,000 of Realty's organs and pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to dishearten him: ob stacles mid In bis way that would nave wrecked any ordinary man forever, he turns to an advertisement and oomcs out of It brighter than ever.

When osalfloation attscked bis bead and his Misnaming Things The experienced huntsman in tho woods never wastes time looking: for bear in Bear Hollow, nor deer along Deer Creek, nor would he hope to shoot any great number of ducks on Duck Lake, for his experience has taught him that such points are always misnamed, and this lesson holds good with almost everything in life. For instance, in the case of the brands on articles of food, spices and other ground food products, the things branded or labeled "pure", "strictly pure" or "absolutely pure," are without exception the most villainously adulterated. Tis the wolf in sheep's clothing The most brazen case is that of the Royal Baking Powder. This article is branded and paraded before the people as "absolutely pure" when it contains ammonia. You can smell it in the can and often in the biscuit while hot - What woman would use an ammonia or alum baking powder if she knew it ? They not only destroy the stomach, but ammonia will destroy the complexion. , - Not so with Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, the only pure cream tartar powder to be obtained, and the only baking powder made by a physician.

Jake Hhaefer, tba billiard player, is not only an expert with tba cue, bat Is an Interesting talker and a good ra conteur. He had an experience several yearn ago when he was running the old Pine street room In St. Louis, which la worth telling. "It was shortly after X moved to 8L Louis from Leavenworth,! said be to a group of listeners yester day, "sud I had some reputation even then. One night I bad come in from a short trip out ot town, and bad gone to bed early. My sleeping-room waa Just over tbe billiard hall. At 11 o'clock my clerk came up stairs and woke me up, saying a Chicago drummer waa down stain, who was bragging that ho could beat anything in 8t Louis at bil llarda. He waa not aware at that tine that I owned the room. This drummer wss a rattling good player, and except ing Day and MoCreery, waa about the best that caroe Into 81 Louis. I put on my clothes and went down. A good slxed crowd waa watching tho man knocking the balls around. I strolled over by tbe table and looked on with thereat. Tbe drummer did not know me, and when I offered to play him, bo Jumped at the chance. The first game I beat bim a few points. This nettled him a little, ao he proposed to play for drinks. I agreed, and tbe crowd began to smile, lbeat him again, and then he made the stake s dollar s aide. It was an easy dollar for tne. My man wss game, though, and just aa we were about to bank for tbe next game, he turned to me, aud In a half-lndiflerent way, said, 'Say, who are you, anywayf Oh, my name Is Bkteson,' I amid. Tbe crowd waa laughing, and tho drummer, thinking I was Joking, aa I was, quickly replied: 'Huh, that 'a nothiug. ou got none the beat of me. My name Is Bhaefer.' There waa a big laugh at this, but no one undeceived him Well, we ployed on, and I won several of his dollars, Finally, some one tapped him on the shoulder and told him he was playing with Hhaafer. He would not believe it until he was sbown a picture of me, banging on the wall When tbe truth had fully dawned upon the traveler, he reached in his pocket, pulled out a dollar bill, aud held it toward me, saying, "Here I was going to play one more game, but you might as well take the money now, and save me the trouble.'
