THERE IS MONEY IN
GROWING GINSENG
Prof. W, L. Howard, of the Missouri State Agricultural
College says: "I advise American farmers to cultivate Gin
seng. Big profits may be realized. It is a hardy plant and
is easily prown." A recent bulletin issued by the Pennsyl
vania State Agricultural College in part says: "The sup
ply of native Ginseng root is continually diminishing and
the price per pound is correspondingly increasing, while the
constant demand for the drug in China stan Js as a guaran
tee of a steady market for Ginseng in the future. The
maiket for our cultivated root will exist as long as the
Chinamen exist." Counsel General W. A. Rublee, of
Hong Kong, says in the U. S. Consular Reports. "The sale
of Ginseng root grown in America is very large here and
the demand is so great that much n ore coul 1 be deposed of
advantageously. The root is as .indispensable to the 410,
000,000 Chinese as is their rice."
Ginseng is a staple on the market the same as corn,
wheat and cotton. The present market, price varies from
&5.CO to $8.00 per pound, according to qualiiy, while the
cost of production does not exceed Si. 50. There is room
in an ordinary garden to grow several hundred dollars'
worth each year. The plant is hardy and thrives in all
parts of the United States and Canada, except in the arid
regions. We are successful growers and can show y; u how
to make money growing Ginseng. You can get good start
in the business for a small outlay, and soon have a comfort
able income. We have several thousand choice roots for
sale for fall delivery. The planting season begins in Aug
ust and continues till the ground is frozen. Write us to day
for furfher particulars. i

Dissatisfied with tho census of Ore
gon (Jity taken by tho county asses
sor, the Hoard of Trade has under
taken to make another enumeretion of
tlie pooplo of this city. Work was
co nmenced Monday by J. W. Mc
Auulty, who has had considerable ex
perience along this lino, and was em
ployed iu taking the census for the
government .some years ago. Ho will
make a careful and painstaking cen
sus of the pooplo residing within the
corporate limits of Oregon Oity, and
expects to complete the work single
handed within two or three weeks.
It is generally believed that Oregon
Oity's population exceeds S837, the
figures given out by the county asses
sor, and the Board of Trade will seek
to demonstrate to the world that the
growth of the city has boen iu excoss
of the amount certified to by the offi
cial of the county.
The expenses of the new census will
be borne by public-spirited citizens
and will be made under a direction ot
a special committee appointed by the
Board of Trade.
"111 bet," said Deputy County As
sessor Froderick J. Nelson, "that no
man can take a census in Oreeoti City,
and find more people than I did, the
Board of Trade to tho contrary not
withstnnd ng. The census shows a
gain of about 300 in about four years.
I am prepared to stand behind mv
count of 3837 in the corporate limits
of Orogoi City, and am willing to bet
that no one can find more people, and
I really believe that a recount will
not show as many people, unless it is
very carefully made.
"Ot course, 1 understand that there
are people who are not satisfied with
the result, and they never will be sat
isfied until a recount is made, so by
all means let them have it, and let
them abide by the result, no matter
if a recount shows a decrease from
our figures. "
Beautiful Women.
Plump cheeks, flushed witlfthe soft
glow of health and a pure complex
ion mako all women beautiful, take
a small dose of Herbiue after each
meal ; it will prevent couspipatiou
and help digest what you have eaten.
Mrs. Win. M. Stroud, Midothian,
Tex., writes, May 81, 1901 :
"We have used Herbiue in our fam
ily for eight years, and found it the
host medicine we ever used for consti
pation, billions fever and ma'aria.
Farewell Party.
Large party of relatives and friends
gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Jones Monday night, to tender
to Mrs. 0. H. Talbert, of Mrxieo,
and Mrs. Koy C. Harden and little
daughter, Gwladys, of Colorado
Spri gs, Colo., a party, before their
departure for thoir respective homos.
Cards were the order of the evening
and at a late hour delicious r efresh
ments were served. Mrs. Talbert and
Mrs. Harden have been visiting their
oousins, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Mr. and
Mrs. Straight, Mr. and Mrs. Hankins,
and Mr. and Mrs. Reuner, of Oregon
City, and thoir undo and aunt, Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Davios, of Maple
Lane, for the past six weeks. They
left Tuesday for thoir homes, via California.
Abscess.
Abscesses, with fow exceptions, are
indicative, of constipation or debility.
W. II. Harrison, Cleveland, Mis
issippi, writes, August 1", 11)02 :
"I want to say a word of
praise for Ballard's Snow JLini
nient. I. stepped on a nail, which
caused the cords in my leg to con
tract and an abscess to rise iu my
knee, and tho doctor told me that I
would have a stitt leg, so one day I
went to .). F. Lord's rugstoro (who
is now in Homer, Colo.)' He recom
mended a botte of Snow Liniment; I
got a 0O0 size, and it cured my leg.
It is tho best liuinient in the world.

WHY DO YOU COUGH?
Do you know that a little cough is
! a dangerous thing? Are you aware
I that it often fastens on tho lungs, and
1 so far too often runs into Consump
1 tion and ends in death. Can you
altord to trifle with so serious a mat
j tor? Acker's English Kemedy for
coughs, colds and consumption is be
yond question the greatest of all mod
ern remedies. It will stop a cough in
ouo night ana it win chock a cold in
in day. It will prevent croup, relieve
asthma and cure consumption. Our
! faith in it is so strong that we guar

THREE JURORS CURED
Of Cholera Morbus With One Small Bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy.
Mr. G. W. Fowler, of Hightower,
Ala., relates an experience he had
while serving on a petit jury in a
uiurdor case at Edwardsville, county
seat of Cleliourno county, Alabama.
He says: "While there I ate some
fresh moat and some souse neat and
it gave me cholera morbus in a very
severe ;torm. I was never more sick
in my life and sent to the drugstore
for a certain cholera mixture, but the
druggist sent me a bottlo of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea.Kemedy instead, saying that he
ml what 1 sent tor, but. .that this
medicine was so much betetr he would
rather send it to mo in the fix I was
iu. I took one close of it and was
better in livo minutes. The second
dose cure mo entirely. Two fellow
jurors were afflicted 111 the same man
uer and one small bottle cured the
threo of us.
