Jefferson Pomona is discussing the advisability of discontinuing the Pa trons' assembly, a suborganlzation con nected with the Pomona. In an ad dress before this Pomona Senator Cobb spoke very highly of the work of the legislative committee at Albany and said that "from no body of men have more reasonable and Intelligent re quests been received." Lieutenant Governor Chanler was also present and delivered an address. At the Genesee Pomona It was announced that eight granges will exhibit at the county fair, and probably the Juvenile grange will also send an exhibit At the Dutchess Pomona a special train was run from Poughkeepsie and conveyed about 200 Patrons. At the Chautauqua Pomona the question of representation at the state grange was discussed, and a plan was suggested allowing each subordi nate grange credit each year for the total membership, counting to a time when such credit shall equal 400, and when its membership shall equal that It will be entitled to name a delegate from its own membership. That is, a grange with a membership of 100 would get a delegate of its own every four years, one 'with 300 members ev ery second year and would have a sur plus of 200 to carry forward to the next year. Clinton Pomona offers cash prizes to subordinate granges whose A CHEAP, RELIABLE, STEADY O) HI S DEVELOPED BY THE STOVER GASOLINE ENGINE J WL f 1 m..j. nil,, fri'l'iiniimf j !J I f f 1 ' i ' , . ..Ili.J '.. '11 I ' I . ; W. H. Miller, 10th and Main Streets Oregon City AGENT FOR s(Jil3i Portland Spokane Boise Salem Stover Engines are made in both vertical and horizontal styles and range from 2- to 40-horse power. The Stover has been demonstrated as the most sim ple engine on the market. The gasoline pump the ignitor and the exhaust are all operated on one rod. The Stover engine is easy to start and furnishes a steady power. No man needs to be a machinist to understand and operate this engine. All its working parts, with the exception of the piston and piston-rod, are on the outside of the cylinder and in plain view. The STOVER often develops more than its rated power. Less troublesome to operate than a steam engine and cheaper than electricity. The Stover is certainly an ideal en gine for the small shop and farm where the power must be ready at any time. ; ; The Stover furnishes an excellent power for pumping water. The outfit shown below will furnish enough water for any sub urban or country home, and it is very economical in cost. Small cities, contemplating the installation of a water outfit, will do well to investigate our water systems. Send for Stover Engine Catalogue. Noksack, Wash., Sept 10, 1907 Mitchell, Lewis & Staver Co. Portland, Oregon. Gentlemen: Your favor of September 5th at hand, con tents noted. In reply will say that it gives me pleasure to' add my testimony with many others who have and still use the Stover Engine. When I bought the 5-Horse Power Stover Gasoline Engine a year ago for the purpose of grinding feed, etc., I knew nothing of i gasoline engine and was fearful to learn, but the Sto ver is so simple in construction t h a t I easily saw how to run it, and keep it in repair. It has given me perfect satisfac tion and does all that can be expected offany engine of its size, even the heavy grinding I often do with it. ( Signed ) C. W. STEVENS. Ore, Wash Idaho Oreg DODGE.

Yon go to your bank with a bundle f checks and drafts and deposit them to your credit Against that account thus opened, you draw checks. They pass into the world of business, are accepted at face value, and circu late virtually as does gold, silver and currency. If you pay your bills In checks, often you pass through weeks at a time when you have only a trifle of loose change In your pocket for street car fare and the small things you need from day to day costing too little to bother to draw a check. "A check cancelled is a voucher," has become a maxim In the business world. 11 For Dyspepsia Gives rest to tha stomach.
