He informs us that he is willing to distribute circulars relating to the in dustries and resources of this countv. This opportunity of advertising should not be overlooked. . We should Bend carefully prepared circulars, describing the climate, the horticultural, agricul tural and dairying interests, the splen did opportunities offered to capital bv the undeveloped water power of our nu merous streams, the hiah standard of our schools, and all the varied induce ments which our county offers to the homeseeker. Such circulars distributed among the visitors t the St Louis ex position would no doubt be instrumen tal in bringing large numbers of invest ors to our state and county. Mr. Gallo way's address ia 30GO Thomas St., Ot.L,OU18. . . The manufacturing plant of the Ore gon City Ice and Cold Storage Company ia now being operated to its full capa city. Tbe output is six tons per day. Tbe process of manufacture it the latest and quite interesting in its de tails The water is obtained from an artesian well 121 feet deep, thus pro viding an inexhaustible supply of water as pure as nature affords. The water is first converted into Iteam, which pro cess removes anv vegetable matter that may chance to be held in solution. The steam is then passed through conden sing pipes into a re-boiler. Tbis re boiler, or skimmer, is so arranged that all oily substances rising to the surface, flow off through a waste pipe. After this the water passes through a cooling coil. Tbe sudden cooling causes all mineral substance to be precipitated. Tbe cooled water 'hen filters through Charcoal, and is conducted to the fore cooler, which reduc.s the temperature almost to the freezing point. It would seem that no impurities could possibly remain in the water now, but to be all tbe more sure, it is then passed through a sponge filter. Thence It goes to an antomatic filter which can be adjusted to put into each can exactly the same number of pounds of water. Tbe water Is frozen by tbe ammonia gas system. The company hag , arrtnued with the Williams Bros. Express Company to de liver ice in any part ol the city, Cane mah, Gladstone, Parkplace, and the WeatSide.

It is without doubt superior to any paint m made of lead or oil only. v feaj Lead and nil i nnw tmdmcr mv its k0$ m m tion. It is seldom used i B a tnorough knowledge of painting. The modem chemeist no longer specifies a paint pigment made wholly of lead. If he did he would display his ignor- m ance, for it has been proved beyond a question of ry doubt that lead in itself is not a satisfactory pro- JwJ tective coating. IT NEVER WAS SATlSFAC- 8 TORY. Before good prepared paint like Sherwin- flj Williams was made, it WAS best. It is through ffj long use that many people still think it best, but jij lead and oil is dying a natural death simply because flj something better has come to take its place. If you are going to paint this year, send in Ki your name so that we may put you on our mailing W list for paint literature. It will cost you nothing (Y but a postal card and we know we .can save you v dollars unless you have already decided to use feja Sherwin-Williams paint and even then we have in- W formation which will be of value to you. (jh to imtley Druggistsf and Kl Married. Mr. Dee Wright, the well known live stock man, and Miss Cora Ross were married at noon Sunday at the residence of Mr. Eli Williams, Rev. R C. Ramsby officiating. A large number of local friends beside several from Portland and Salem were in attendance. Mr. C. E. Ramsby and Miss Mulvey acted as best man and bridesmaid. After the cere mony a bountiful lunch was served. The young couple will reside at Liberal. School Notes. Miss Delia Withey will this week con clude her third term of school in the Holcomb district. That her services are appreciated is evidenced by the fact that tbu board nas substantially in creased her salary during the time she has been the teacher of their school. Sues for Division of Property. Mrs. Geo. Brown has begun action in tbe Circuit Court for the division of property belouuing to Mr. Brown from whom she has been divorced. A farm of 14S acres is a part of tbe property Mrs. Brown desires divided. Robbed the Grave. A startling Incident is narrated by John Oliver, of Philadelphia, as follows : " was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by dav. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided Improvement. I con tinued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they rob bed the grave of another victim' No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents, guaranteed at Charman & Co'a. urug store. Salmon Scarce. The fishing season did not open very well for the fishermen in this vicinity. Last year several tons were shipped on the opening day, but this year a sinorle box was seen where a car load was seen last year. This is partly due to the high water occasioned by the melting anow and partly to the scarcity of the salmon. It is to be hoped that tbe Government will soon take up the pro pagation of the apring salmon instead of tne questionable fall salmon. A Dandy for Burns. Dr. Bergin, Paca, 111., writes : "I have used Ballard's Snow Liniment; always recommended it to my friends, as I am confident there is no better made. 'It is a dandy for burns.' Those who live on farms are especially liable to many accidental cuts, hums, bruies, which heal rapidly when Ballard's Snow Lini ment is applied. It should always be kept in the house fot oases of emer gency." 25c, 60c, $1 bottle. Sold by Charman & Co. Drowning at Oswego, William H.
