Columbia Semi-Malleable Ra
nge
In the Columbia Range, we believe we are offering one of the very best and most
attractive ranges made. It's a sanitary range. No place for dirt and scrubbing water to lodge
year after year until the dirtiest place in the house is under the kitchen range, as is the case with
all ranges running to the floor. It is a handy range, too. The polished top makes it easy to
clean. The lift-up plate in front makes it handy to empty trash, etc. The damper handle in
front is always cool. We are selling these ranges at a very low figure considering quality and
will put them out on the easy payment plan.
WE WOULD BE GLAD TO HAWE YOU CALL AND MAKE A PERSONAL INSPECTION

Alfalfa Seed
Tho increased interest in alfalfa
growing in the Central Oregon
country is shown in the fact that
W, C. Wilkes, assistant genera'
freight and passenger agent of the
Oregon Trunk Railway, has received
over 150 applications for seed for
dry farm cropping. Working in
conjunction with Senator Geo. E.
Chamberlain.of Washington, the Ore
gon Trunk officials have asked and
have been granted several times the
amount of the original allottment of
alfalfa seed for this section. About
six pounds of the seed are estimated
to be necessary for one acre. Appli
cants who indicate they will try hard
to get the best results for the seed
ing and follow instructions literally
regarding planting, preparation,
care of ground, etc., are usually
given first consideration. No one,
however, has been refused. It is
believed that if there is a general
cultivation of alfalfa it will be bet
ter for all concerned.

Palmer Writing System
The Text-book Commission last
June adopted the A. N. Palmer
Writing System for use throughout
the state of Oregon. This adoption
i i good for six years.
In order that the people may
have full benefit of the system the
I'ulmer people have agreed to give
free instruction to every public
school teacher in Oregon. These
drill patiers are received once a
week and the course continues until j
each teacher shall have developed
her skill in this muscular movement
writing system to such an extent
that she may be granted a diploma.
Of course it will require a much
longer time for some than for
others. It is most gratifying to
note that most of our teachers are
taking up this special writing sys
tem offered by the Palmer people.
The graded school teachers make
application for membership through
their various principals. The rural
teachers make application for mem
bership through the county superin
tendents of each county.
