Tom Johnson has been raising the wind for some time; now he proposes to have what he calls "a whirlwind campaign." Probably all Tom wants anyway is the dust A New Jersey police justice re cently fined a young man 110 for kissing his sweetheart in a public ' park, and a similar fine was col lected from the young lady. Jersey- justice is very particular. The Commoner says: "The off; spring of two rabbits in ten years "may number 70,000,000." ' So they might, but the offspring of two failures in Presidential aspirations "will never amount to the rotes "of 70,000,000 people. - Henry L. IShattuck, of 8hellsburg Iowa, was cured of a stomach trouble with which he had been afflicted for years, by four boxes of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. He had previously tried many other remedies and a number of physicians without relief. F01 sale by all druggists. President Roosevelt is himself a sufferer from strikes. He will be kept out of the White House two months longer than necessary be cause of a number of incipient strikes among the workmen who are doing the renovating and those who are preparing the material. A Shocking Calamity. "Lately befell a railroad laborer," writes Dr.A. Kellet, of Willord Ark. His foot was badly crushed, but Bucklen's Arnica Salve quickly cured him.

Agricultural display nt the fair, as a typical exhibition of the fruit, vegetables and. grain of Crook county, the Fair certainly was us comprehensive as could be made. Highlands and lowland, with and without irrigation, East, West, North and South, from every sec tion of this great country came the farmer and horticulturist, bringing the products of their labor. No more will be heard the pessimist saying, Owing to frost fruit, grain and vegetables cannot be grown, for we have seen, felt and tasted. We saw apples weighing 18 ounces; boxes of three peaches, 12 ounces, prunes, i ounces, onions, 2 lbs, potatoes, 2J lbs., carrots, 3 lbs., cabbage, 35 lbs., and other things in proportion. The taste lold the 1 1 . . same story nut more empnauc. The writer has lived in every set- tioiiof the " United States,' except New England, bnt nowhere has he found. fruiOo'flttVoreilv." Apples prunes, plums, peaclies,- pears and tomatoes, solid, firm, uniform in texture, unci delicious; in flavor, smooth and clean, with no work of spray or worms. In other words, absolutely perfect.' The exhibitors all deserve special mention, as well as prizes, but many of the best ex hibits did not compete for prizes. In fruit those competing for prizes were: T. F. McAllister, low coun try. C. W. Circle, middle upland F. Slayton and Roscoe Knox, upland. James Wood, Nellie Sum mers, Prineville. R. W. Breese upland, C. W. Circle took first premium for apples and prunes. E. F. Slayton, two prizes for apples. Justice to Mr. McAllister, demands that we state, he deliberately se lected the only faulty upples he could find in order he should be certain not to get first premium on general display. McAllister ex hibited 8 varieties, whose circum ference ranges from Hi inches to 103 inches; in addition loaches, quinces, almonds, English walnuts, urns, prunes and tomatoes 14j inches in circumference. C. tt. Circle exhibited 14 varieties of ap ples, somewhat smaller, but equally perfect. E. T. Slayton, 10 varitics Harvey Powell, 7 varieties. New ton Johnson, 4 varieties. B. F. Allen, 3 varieties. Leo Lafollett, 7 varieties; special mention is nec cessary for the Blue Pearmain, 11 i inches in circumference. Chas. Lister, 3 apples, 2 pears and prunes. James Woods, 5 varieties. Roscoe Knox, 5 varieties. "These mountain land displays, were, if possible, more interesting than the lowland, in that although the fruit is smaller it cannot be ex celled in beauty of flavor. This fact must be borne in mind always, that but laziness and carelessness need prevent any householder in 1 Crook county from having and en joying his own grown fruit. Next in importance commercially, was the display of prunes and plums McAllister, Circle, Hudson, llreese Slayton, Wurzweiler and Lafollett each exhibited from 1 to 7 varie ties. McAllister and Wurzweile tied 111 largest at yj inches in cir enmference by 8 in the other, the others slightly smaller. Circle showed 'Jho finest Petito prunes, Pears came, next in importance, Space will forbid us giving an ac tount of these in detail, sulhcu it to say 15 plates were shown, with 10 varieties, ranging from 4 ok to 16 oz in weight. Only ono variety of peach was exhibited. Had the lair oecurcd six weeks earlier, or had the peach growers been as en ergetic as the apple grower, as gooe a showing could have been made (Snipes were wanting, not because no grab's are grown in the county but because each grower failed ti bring them in. Cherries straw Hemes and earlier fruits were shown in jars so temptingly, the remark of the small boy covers the ground more fully than a column, "Aint them bully." We shall not attempt to do jus tice to the vegetables. Only make mention of onu grower, R. W. Breese.' Wheat, 26 bushel to the acre, oat, 60 bushel, barley, 60 bushel, on high ground without ir riuation. This attracted no atten- twn, because it is "only "ordinary here, but to the prospective home builder it means a comjietence Potatoes weighing 4 llw and pro ducing 400 bushels per acre, with potatoes 1J cents per lb means too mucti cattle in proportion to the garden. Carrots that are too -large to dig comfortably, Cabbage too heavy for any little woman to lift, Artichokes a peck to the vine or bush. Corn sweet corn and pop corn, that compares favorably with Iowa. Hubbard squash and puni kins, " too big for me, " was the remark of a bright young house wife. Last, the grasses. No alfalfa was shown as an exhibit, nor bunch grass, the two best grasses in Crook county, but there was Timothy, Blue-joint, Redtop and Bronius, from 3 feet to 5 j feet long. The showing here was only indi cations of what can, and is being grown in the county. We close with the inscription on a bottle; " (ireen Currants, put up 111 1M3 beforo jars were in use in Oregon, by Mrs. A. E. Logan, proierty of Mrs. B. F. Jones." .A wonderful story to the young.
