6 OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1908 BRIEF NEWS NOTES. A petition under the Initiative and referendum law Is being circulated to have certain amendments made to the Port of Tillamook, and to sub mit the same to a vote of the people next November. It will reform the Port of Tillamook, making the offi cers' elective Instead of being ap pointed by the mayor, but the prin cipal object of the amendment Is to give the Port of Tillamook power to Improve the water front and straight en and deepen Hoquarton Slough so that any vessel that can croBs Tilla mook bar will be able to reach Tilla mook City. Through the United States Land Offlce In Roseburg contests have been Instituted by the Federal Govern ment against 15 coal entries In what Is known as the Eden Ridge Coal Field, In township 32-1, north of the Coquille River, in Coos county. It is the belief of tho government that the claims are wanted principally for the magnificent timber that stands on them and not for what coal they might contain. The lands are em braced In a forest reserve, but under the law it they are proven to be chiefly valuable for coal deposits they will pass from the reserve, timber and all, Into th handi of the applicants. On and after September 1, 1908, I will stop all credit, and sell for CASH ONLY. This change I have .adopted after studying the financial points of business from all sides of the question. All over the United States the dealers are contemplating, or adopting, the CASH STORE, and the -reports are, so far as I can learn (and I have looked the matter up very carefully) that they are successful in every instance. They can give better service to their customers, by using the time put in on collec tions to attend to their customer's wants, and using the time put in on bookkeeping in keeping themselves up-to-date in -their stock of goods, and in using -the money of "Lost Accounts" to buy goods and take discounts' thereby selling cheaper than is possible under credit system.' Also they keep their friends and customers by not having arguments over errors in balances on accounts, or failing to credit a certain payment or in charg ing to the wrong party. Then 'too,, the customer don't have to pay for day books, ledgers, sales slips and patent bookkeeping devices; and the pro- prietor is not accused of being dishonest when something goes wrong in an account and the customers never feel like they had been cheated or over charged or charged twice whjn they pay their bills, and customers never feel as though they have to trade at a certain store because the dealer credited them in time of need. IP HE PAID HIS BILLS HE HAS PAID FOR HIS CREDIT. Therefore if you buy on credit you pay for your goods and also pay for your credit and more you pay the bookkeeper and for the books and sale slips and the collectors and you also pay for lost discounts and bad bills. Cash down stops all this. It makes the clerks more courteous; it makes the proprietor try harder to please you, the delivery boy will get . your goods delivered a little, sooner he will drive a little faster and be a little more careful. In fact you have all to gain and nothing to lose. The goods must be paid for anyway and in this way you only pay for yours. On and after the above date please don't ask for credit, as money down and prices in proportion will be the iron rule thereafter. Hoping you will co-operate with me to make this a complete success, I am yours truly,' W. A. HOLMES, ' Proprietor of the Parkplace CASH Store.

Pione Farmets 26 A. tKlLlVMJiN, rlOp. A deplorable accident happened last week, whereby Mrs. Emma Hughes' right hand was blown off by the explosion of a giant firecracker. Mrs. Hughes took the firecracker out in the yard in front of the house and in the presence of her children and neighbors, lighted a match and set it off. Mrs. Hughes ,is a widow and has two young children and herself to support. She is 27 years old. The 1908 wool clip of the Baldwin Sheep & Land Company was sold last week at Shaniko at private sale. George Abbott, representing the Bot any Worsted Works of Passaic, was the purchaser of the entire clip, ag gregating 250,000 pounds. The ex act price paid was not made public, but it is understood to have been about 16 cents. This clip is one of the largest west of the Rocky Moun tains and has a well established rep utation for quality among dealers and manufacturers. BIO CIRCUS AT PORTLAND. Baroum and Bailey Show to Exhibit There. It is a pleasure to announce the fact that on Tuesday and Wedensday, Aug. 25 and 26, the Barnum and Bail Important ey Greatest Show on Earth will Rive two performances in Portland, thus affording an opportunity to the people of this oity to visit the greatest amusement uiterprise the world lias ever known. For fifty years the Barnum and Bailey show has led the world in all matters pertainiug to big amuse ments There is not a country on earth where it is not as well known as iu America, nor a city of any sue( in ine wumi wiu;io itrj uimiuuwiii tents have not been pitched. Royalty 1ms applauded it and the peasantry has marveled at it, and all the world civilized and savage, has contributed to its multiplicity of attractions. The spirit of its great founder, one of the niot wonderful men iu all his tory, V. T. Barnum, still lives in the policy of the present management, while the perfect system nut into op eration by the great James A. Bailey, is Btill iu operation. This season the show is much larger than ever before, and additional interest attaches to it because the parade, a feature which for several sousons has been missing, is again in its customary place. For four years artists, sculptors and me chanics have been working day and night at the foreigii workshops of the show at Stockton Trout, England, building this great street pageant, and the -result of their labors now is ex pressing itself iu the most costly and longest street parade that ever passed through the streets of any city. The program in the great exhibition Notice! n f lull i tent rpens with a new speotacle'. The acts that follow are all European and of great noselty aud variety. Of the 375 performers, nearly 800 have never toured America before. The climax of the bill is the most daring and aw ful exhibition of nerve and death daring ever attempted. The act is called "Autos tlmt Pass in the Air. " As the name briefly exDlaius, it is the passing of two automobiles high above the heads of tho people, while leaping a 50-foot gap. The velocity is gained by a lightning-like dash down a steep incline, one machinj hngging close behind the other. A sharp upward terminal of the track sends the automobiles up into spaoe. One gracefully arches across the gap to a spring platform, the other turn ing a complete somersault around it and lauding behind it. The circus this season numbers 1,500 people, 700 horses, 108 cages of animals, 5 railroad trail s, 30 camels and nearly all the elephants in America. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.

Y., PreM Cmreapnndtnt New Toilt State Grange A HELP TO ALL FARMERS. The Grange Benefit to Nonmemben M Well as Members of the Order. Special Correspondence. "Is the grange a benefit to farmers who are not members of the Order?" The grange is an organization whose chief aim 1 to work for the improve ment of conditions which will benefit Its members and In so doing must be a benefit to those outside of the Order. It Is a benefit financially from the fact that the grange as a body Is able to purchase various articles at cheaper rates, and this naturally' creates com petition In prices which benefits others. The discussions on the various topics In which farmers are Interested which are brought up in the meetings help to enlighten and educate us, and In that as In all other lines of education the better Informed, we are tho better ablo are we to help those with whom we come in contact, so In our intercourse with others they would reap some of the benefits thus derived. When the grange brings its Influence to bear upon the making or defeating of a law or laws which would benefit Its members It cannot be otherwise than a benefit to farmers outside of the Order. As every one needs some rec reation and entertainment, so the grange Is a benefit to outsiders social ly by furnishing some entertainments to which they are made welcome. The words, acts and deeds of all men and all nations have an influence for good or ill upon those with whom they min gle. So It must be with all organiza tions. They cannot be so exclusive that their Influence will not reach be yond their own members, and with that fact ever before us the grange should try to maintain a high standard of usefulness In the community where it exists. MRS. H. T. COLLINS. PENNSYLVANIA GRANGE. A Committee Visits Washington to Se cure a Change In the Oleo Laws. In accordance with the Instructions from the last state grange a commit tee consisting of State Master Hill, State Lecturer Dorsett and others went to Washington last month for the pur pose of laying before the members of congress and department officials the desires of the Pennsylvania state grange with reference to legislation for better protection of the dairy In terests. The department of agricul ture of Tennsylvanla was also repre sented by a committee. They had a spirited and interesting hearing for an hour and a half before the house com mittee on agriculture, after which they waited on Senators Knox aud Penrose, both of whom assured tho committee of their willingness and desire to do what they could to protect the interests of legitimate dairying. Later they call ed upon Secretary of Agriculture Wil son, Secretary of Treasury Cortelyou, Commissioner of Internal Revenue Capers and Dr. Wiley, chief chemist From these gentlemen they secured much valuable Information. One of the members of the committee exhibited to the internal revenue officials a number of samples of butter as yellow as June butter, but which had paid but one fourth of a cent taxes. These officials alluded to the difficulties they expe rience in collecting the proper amount of taxes and In suppressing violations of the law. The fact was unearthed that the government does not have rev enue collectors stationed at the licensed oleo manufactories. This matter was also brought to the attention of the congressmen, and It is not improbable that congress will take steps to reme dy this defect In the laws. W. F. HILL. Dancing at Grange Meetings. A New ,York paper has recently called attention to that which It be lieved to be a fact and which was not namely, that State Master Stetson of Maine had issued a ban against danc ing In grange halls, which seemed to forbid dancing at any and all times whether preceding, during or after the session of the grange and, Indeed, on every other evening In the week. Mr. Stetson's attention being called to the statement In the paper, he denied he had promulgated any such order. He said he was following the rulings of his predecessors, which allowed no dancing during the grange session. Mr. Stet son says that he does not own the grange halls, and he does not clainj the right to say what they shall be naad for the other five nights In the week. Political Discussion. It Is n mistaken Idea of some that It Is Improper to discuss political mat ters In a grange meeting. Nothing could be more Inconsistent. Ou the other hand, It Is our duty to take up any and all questions that concera our welfare, not as partisans, but In a fair, candid aud Intelligent manner, and thus arrive at conclusions that will be for the best Interest of agricul ture and for the greatest good t the greatest number. W. H. Vary. The Wide Field. The grange Is, not a one Idea oia Izatlon. Its fields of usefulness ore as many, as wide and as diversified as are the fields, orchards and gnrdena tt our farms. Keep them all well tilled. We have heard of granges where several candidates for membership are balloted on all at one time. That is absolutely unconstitutional and should never be done.

As the noise came from the room of a new lodger, nothing was said. The next night the same running noises were heard. Still it was thought best to say nothing. But the third night the noise differed. The boarders huddled together In the parlor as the chande liers shook, as the man ahove appar ently came down at ln!inals will! a thump, thump that fairly shook the house.

Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the blood that is their work. Therefore, w hen your kidneys are w eak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or " feel badly," begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will hcli all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. If you are sick you can make no mis take by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, "the great kidney remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases, and is sold on its merits by all dniL'iristsiu fiftv-cent . and one-dollar size iffiKSyw-l EM!'?H!i bottles.
