SCHUEBEL WINS COVETED PLUM Continued from page 1 lamette Pulp & Paper Company, which manl lfactnrea newsnaDer exclusively, and the Crown-Columbia Pulp & Pa per Company, which makes bom ma nlln ami news at its mills at Oregon City and Cainas. It is regarded as un likely that the buildings or tne imper ial mills can be used for a paper mm, and in that, event they will be re moved to make room for new build ings. The brick mill will probably not be used to any extent, out tins prop erty will he held in reserve until It is needed by the growth of the business of the company. It is stated tnat tne two paper machines to ne installed will be among the largest manufac tured. There will he no difilculty In the new company obtaining sufficient pow er to operate its plant. It will have all the power of tho Portland Flour ing Mills Company, which has the rlirht. to use enough water to operate six stones at the Imperial Mill and a stated number of inclies at tne dhck mill and as the Portland General Elec- trle fVimnanv has nlontv of water to sell, Mr. Hawley's mill will have water In abundance to push its wneeis. During the last five years the Im nnrlal Mills have been operated only a few months each year by the Port land Flouring Mills Company. Most nf the Willamette Valley wheat has been carried to Portland and ground Into (lour at the Portland branch, and the Oregon City mills have not been a source of profit to tho company. Facts of Production Wanted. Tho corresponding secretary of the Willamette Valley Development l.naenn has undertaken the most gi gantic work of collecting data for the proper advertising of this section in the East. He wants 1000 facts of prod ucts from the growers tnemseives, fnnta about vour crons of Eraln. fruit, dairy products, wool, mohair, or any product of the soil, and or mis col lection of 1000 facts, statements made hv tho iiriulnrprs nf tho elirht counties of the Willamette Valley, 100,000 cop ies will bo distributed lu tne next six ty days. In March the immigration rates will be put into effect and we want to break all records and secure for the eight counties of Western Oregon Included in the Willamette Valley at least fifty thousand addi tional home-seekers In 1908. This can bo done if we but give the facts of our products to the world. The homo-seekers are coming West as never before, and the eight counties In the Willamette Valley can make a showing of products in variety and richness that will surpass any part of tho world.

Co. have seen so many cures, even of the worst cases of ca tarrh, with offensive breath, raising of mucous, frequent sneezing, droppings In the throat and spasmodic coughing, that they feel warranted in selling llyomel under an absolute guarantee to refund the money If It does not do all that is claimed for it They take all the risk. RECENT RAINS HINDER WORK BUT EARLY SOWN GRAIN IN MANY SECTIONS MAKES FINE SHOWING. PRICE OF PORK GOES UP Fruit and Vegetable Trade In Local Markets Is Good Some Prod ucts in Lowlands Ruined By High Water. The rain of the past week has been a hindrance to many of the farmers in Clackamas County, and many are uneasy about not getting their crops In the ground before it is late, and if so it will make the crops much later. Many of the farmers have finished sowing. The early sown wheat and oats are, In many sections of the county, looking fine, and there Is no doubt but that there will be a splen did yield this year. Red clover did not make a very good stand, but will make a fair crop. Mr. Irish, one of Carus' thrifty farmers, will sow a large field with vetch, and there will be also a great deal of alfalfa sown in the Carus district. Grass is still in ex cellent condition, and Is greatly bene- GEORGE A. STEEL, State Treasurer, Whose New Bond Will Probably Be Approved by the Governor. fited by the rains, with no frosts to Injure it. Many of the farmers are making good use of the time between showers, but from the present condi tion of the weather the prospects are that they will be able to accomplish the work that was not done before the rain set in. In some sections of the county po tatoes are being fed to hogs, as the price of pork has gone up considera bly, and the farmers think it better to use the potatoes for feed than to haul the produce over the muddy roads to market for the price that is in it. Pork is bringing a price of 6 rents to 7 cents Der nound. There has been no change whatever In the price of eggs, and they are still bringing a price of 35 cents per dozen for fresh ranch eggs, and 30 cents for Eastern eggs. There is a larger de mand for the ranch eggs at a higher nripn than fnr the Eastern enes at a lower price, and the ranch eggs that aro brought to market are easily dis posed of to the local merchants. Nn nhanee during the past week nas been made in the grain, flour and feed mnrltet. The fruit and vegetable trade of the market Is cood. and every day the merchants are receiving fresh lots. A o-rpHt ilea nf the veeetabie products that are grown in tne lowlands nave beeu ruined by tne recent nign water, but there is a probability that the mar keta will bo able to sunnly the de mand for some time to come, unless a cold snap comes and destroys mem. There is an unusually large amount nf vegetables In the market at pres ent, owing to the mild winter we are hnvlner and in manv Instances rasp berries are still ripening on the bushes, which is an illustration of an unusually warm winter.

In a recent issue of your paper you published an item headed, "Macksburg School Has Trouble." I do not wish to take exception to the item, but as a matter of justice to myself I would ask that you give as much prominence to the folowing sign ed statement. As the item stated, what trouble there was was In the following way: I contracted to teach only the first eight grades. Upon learning that I was expected to teach the ninth grade, I immediately noti fied the board of my intention to re sign, but the directors would not ac cept my resignation. After refusing to teach the ninth grade, when school had started, the four last-named gen tlemen signing this statement entered protest, as was their right. The statement is as follows: "Macksburg, Or., Nov. 26, 1907. Thia is to certify that this exonerates R. H. Trulllnger from all blame In any trouble whatever since the begin ning of the present term of school in the Macksburg school district, No. 20 (Clackamas County, Oregon). Directors F. W. Barth, D. Harms, P. J. Kraxberger. Parents of ninth grade students R. P. Wallace, J. D. Craig, G. Graves, W. H. Seward. (Signed) R. H. TRULLINGER. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed conditon of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it 1b entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflam mation can be taken out and this tube restorod to its normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca tarrh, which is nothing nut an in flamed conditon of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by ca tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

MIX AT THE FIRST SIGN Says Home-Made Mixture Is Easily Prepared, and Cures Weak Kid neys and Bladder. Here Is a simple home-made mix ture as given by an eminent authority on Kidney diseases, who makes the statement In a New York dally news paper that it will relieve almost any case of Kidney trouble If taken be fore the stage of Brlght's disease. He states that such symptoms as lame back, pain in the side, frequent desire to urinate, especially at night; pain ful and discolored urination, are read ily overcome. Here is the recipe; try it: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparllla, three ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. A well-known druggist here in town Is authority that these ingredients are all harmless and easily mixed at home by shaking well in a bottle. This mixture has a peculiar healing and soothing effect upon the entire Kid ney and Urinary structure, and often overcomes the worst forms of Rheu matism in just a little while. This mixture is said to remove all blood disorders and cure the Rheumatism by forcing the Kidneys to filter and strain from the blood and system all uric acid and foul, decomposed waste matter, which cause these afflictions.

The market is always looking forward to the earliest apples. Dessert and winter apples should not be picked until well colored. Those that stay on the tree late tire bejr flavored than those picked early. Win ter apples will usually keep !:?iler if allowed to ripen in the 'vw weather of the fall. The ease wllh which some fruit separates from the hvltf by n nip sldewlse gives a good Id of maturity.

Two strips are nailed perpendicular on the front corner, projertins n foot be low the bottom of tho box. This raises the front and gives the roof the neces sary pitch when facing a downhill po- HILLSIDE CHICKEN COOP, Itlon, explains a writer in American Agriculturist. Two strips nailed on each side form a support for perches which are fastened together by cross pieces so all aiuy be removed at one operation to be sprayed. We move this coop twice a week, and It Is always clean and fresh. The open front and bottom seem a little risky, considering the possibility of wandering cats, rats or weasels. But we are willing to run some risks it we can fill our own and customers' pens In the fall with large, robust stock.
