April kept it up till the last.
We have a right to expect better
wenther this month.
One thing certain and that is there
were never better fall prospects any
year.
James A. Bolkin and wife, of Esta
cada, are visiting with their people
here for a few days. They say but
little farm work was done last month
in their vicinity and that early pota
toes will have to be planted over
again as they mostly rotted in the
ground.
Horace Kohera, the gentlemanly
Jap from Portland, was here the first
of the week looking after the farm
which he will have seeded down to
oats and clover. He intends to clear
more of the land this fall.
Now that the land grant has been
decided again in favor of the gov
ernment, it is to be hoped that any
one having the coinage and the heart
to try and make a home in these hills
will be given encouragement. It has
taken a miserable long time to get
simple act of justice done and a plain
case of intended fraud and open vio
lation of the law finally, after many
weary years, settled and the state of
Oregon given a chance to provide
homes for thousands of people. It
true a poor man without capital has
a desperate struggle to make a farm
in the timber. Why shouldn't the
government loan money direct
these people at a low rate of inter
est on long time. They loan money
to the Federal Reserve bank people
at 2 per cent and no limit to time
and take commercial paper as secur
ity, which is often pretty flimsy
Will some of these wise ( ? ) states
men please tell us why the people
who do the work of the world should
not be given an equal show at least
in the battle of life. Don't all speak
at once. Its one thing to favor the
rich and powerful who don't need any
favor, and another thing to help the
poor in a desperate fight for a bare
existence. The only rich man who
ever did justice to the poor and gave
them a chance to get a home is Ecu
son, who don't pretend to be a Chris
tian at all. Northcliffe, editor of the
London Times, in an article in Col
lier's says that the trouble with the
United States is that it is run by a
lot of lawyer-politicians, who run the
government for the benefit of the
privileged few.

PERSONALITIES
It is unfortunate that so worthy
a citizen of Clackamas county and
the state of Oregon as is C. E. Spence,
state grange master, should be ac
cused of stooping to more or less
questionable tactics in his fight
against the proposed bond issue. Mr.
Spence's motives are not subject to
the slightest criticism from any rep
utable source, and it is regrettable
that his methods should be worthy of
the scoring they are generally receiv
ing. There isn't a question about the
sincerity with which Mr. Spence at
tacks or supports any measure. He
puts his best effort and his whole
heart into the fray; but the trouble
seems to be that he sometimes in
jects personalities into his arguments.
Whether we support or attack the
proposed bond issue is ordinarily a
matter of our own opinion and the
view we take of the facts that are
presented. Mr. Spence has seen fit
to fight the proposal and as a free
citizen in a free country he is at per
fect liberty to go as far as he likes
and to accomplish what he can for
his side of the question without sub
jecting himself to the denunciation
of the bond issue supporters. It is
probable that Mr. Spence and the
few who are with him in fighting the
bonds are just as good citizens as the
best of the bond issue sponsors; a
difference of opinion does not make
a difference in men.
Mr. Spence has unfortunately
brought upon himself many unkind
remarks and allusions, and the only
way that he can avoid a repetition of
these things is to steer clear of per
sonalities himself. The bond issue
must be decided entirely upon its
merits and both sides will enjoy
greater success for their efforts if
they abide by honorable methods in
their fight.
PARKPLACE
The grange session was held Sat
urday with a large number of mem

Mothers' day program.
The Ladies' Aid society of the

Wallace. She was assisted by her

had a lovely time. Miss Wallace
and Miss Holmes entertained the

Had Terrible Pains
in Kidneys and Back.
Lear Mr. Editor 1 want to write you
about "Anuria." I was very sick, could
hardly be up ; I was in bed most of the
time. Had terrible pains in my kidneys
and back, so much so that I bad to
scream sometimes when I was sitting
down and wanted to get up, the pain
wrs so great. I had tried a well-known
kidney medicine but it didn't help me.
I heard of Dr. Pierce's Anurio Tablets
so I thought I would try them. I took
only one box of the Tablets, and my
back is now free from pain and I can
work and take care of my family. I
feel I cannot say enough for this medi
cine. Sincerely, Mrs. Wm. Keller.
LOGAN

Creek near the McCubbin farm.
The showery weather does not
seem to have satised the women
folks, as a large number of them
gathered last week and gave Miss
Lillian Anderson a shower, the ef
fects of which will be felt for some
time.
Note: This "Anurio" Is adapted
especially for kidney complaints and
diseases arising from disorders of the
kidneys and bladder, such as backache,
weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con
gestion of the kidneys, inflammation
of the bladder, scalding urine and
urinary troubles. The physicians and
specialists at Dr. Pierce's great Institu
tion, at Buffalo, N. Y., have thoroughly
tested this prescription and have been
with one accord successful in eradicat
ing these troubles, and in most cases
absolutely curing the diseased kidneys.
Patients having once used "Anurio"
at Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, have re-
Seatedly sent back for more. 8uch a
emand has been created that Dr. Pierce
has decided to put "Anurio" in the drug
stores of this country, in a ready-to-use
form. If not obtainable send one dime
by mail to Dr. Pierce for trial package
or 50 cents for full treatment.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery

starts the liver and stomach into vigorous
action. It thus assists the body to make
