Rain, rain, ami still it rains, though the ground is soaked and cer--Uin garden stuff begins to have t bleachei look. Farmers begin to cry "enough!" "The ground is sufficiently wet for all plow big purposes and 'tis getting late. Strawberries are beginning to ripen, Mr. Johnson taking the first to market yester day. Tlve crop promises to be a fair one, while all other small trails promise an abundant yieM. Grain is looking well, and certainly there is moisture enough to insure good bay rop. Children's day will be appropriately ob served at Bettiel church on Sunday, theth Inst. An euriwrate program is being pre pared, and a pleasant time is assured. The 11. K. Sabbath school will join the other in the exercises, which will commence at 2 o'clock T. M. The pastor, Rev. Kirktope, will be present to assist. Li Mondav being the sixteenth birth day of Miss Lydia Cutting, her young friends gave her a pleasant surprise party. With metty games the time sped quickly away till the wee small hours when the fcappy crowd departed with many good wishes for their voung hostess. There ie still a good deal of sickness in the neighborhood. Dan Evans has been confined o his bed for eome weeks with what be supposed was measles. Charles Cutting, Mrs. Mosher, and others, are also on the sick list. Mr. Kritchevskv and family have moved back here trom Portland. Bcstic. STAFFORD STAFFS. Frog Fond and Stafford Schools "Will (JIts an iBtesesling Program Oeeorattea Day. Stafford, May 24. "A little rain, now and thea, is relished by the best of men," and it has come now, just between hay and grass, as 41 were, and the grass and grain are putting on an added green, and gardens are taking a step forward, while hops grow like weeds, and roses are coming into such full bloom that we ebail have an abundance for Decoration Day. The schools of Staf ford and Frog Pond, under the able man agement of Mr. Bert Beattie ot 'Oregon City and Miss Laura Thompson of Tualatin, are making preparations to appropriately cele brate the day by marches, speeches, songs .and recitations. Cherry trees hang very full of fruit, but there will be but few peaches. Strawberries are ripening sad there will be a full crop. P. A. Baker keeps steadily at work mend ing our highways, grubbing bere, plowing there, scraping, putting in needed culverts, -etc., etc. The general health of the community is very good again. The infant son of Mrs. Henry Shrader was buried last Friday. It had never been a healthy cbild, ant! we understand was cut ting teeth. The mother has also been very -sick. The new buildings in this vicinity are nearing completion. Johnnie Eeichle, who attends the school for the deal and dumb at Salem, has return ed home for vacation. He is a bright boy, and there is always rejoicing in the family and among Wie school children when be .comes back. Miss Lydiaeicble and her frietxl, Miss Jlosa Weiser, ace down from Salem on a visit. Miss Ollie Gage, who was kicked just above the ankle week ortwoago, wasiburt more seriously than at Bret supposed, as the bone seems to be fractured slightly, though she still continues her school in the Shipley neighborhood. It will be remembered tfaat she was hurt In a .puna ay accident, caused by theihold-back snap breaking, while coal ing down Shipley kill, letting the buggy upon the. horse, wbioh caused him to kick through the dash-board, one hoof hitting Jier and the other ber lather, wko was driv ing. Mr. Moser is hatching chickens by the wholesale now with an incubator. John ficheweba just finished a brick bailding for him. Mr. Heinle has been blasting stumps. We think times are changing for the bet ter. One sign is that there are not as many men coming sJong asking for work. Mrs. Woodruff 's neicefrom East Portland is making her a short visit. We think the bicycle riders might make it pay to come out this way with their Sun day Oregonian, and so on to Aurora. Toe roads are good. May 27, Whoop ! but aint things looking green, though ? Some clover fields have be gun to blossom. Flowers in the yards are in their prime, and garden sass, corn and potatoes are looking splendid. It is reported that Oscar Whitten, of Ha zalia, has led out in the harvesting of grain, his rye baring got ripe and was gathered last week. John Gage, Jr., returned home Saturday after a fortnight's sojourn in Tillamook eounty. He made the trip in from the 'briny deep, ' with borse and buggy, in less than sixteen hours travel, which would lead us stay-at-homes to believe that it would be possible to go and return without being gone forever. He reports the people there as be ing somewhat backward this season with their crops, and most all enjoying good health, barring colds. Mrs. Rentier has returned home after a few days visit at Jefferson. F. Neibauer's 10-acre patch is most ready for the plow, lie having had it cleared for the small sum of J.50 per acre, the men lurnishing their own tools and board. Wm. Keibauer, of Portland, visited his parents Sunday. We Uks. Harmony Notes. Habmoky, May 24. Indications are now that there will be an abundant crop of most all kinds of fruit. A recent hail storm, how ever, damaged it somewhat in different parts of our neighborhood. The bail is re jorted to have been an inch deep in some places while In the Immediate vicinity It barely hailed at all. The strawberry crop appears to be about all that could be expected. It has begun to ripen, and a few have already been tent to market. The tall and spring grain crops all appear to be In a good condition. Road Supervisor Roots has been grading some of the roads in our vMnlty, which will make them better for the summer travel. About IIW have been subscribed In work to clear out the Price-Fuller road for one mile, beginning at the school bouse and running north-east to Mr. Kaiue's, where it connects with the main road to Portland. The subscription In the shape of a petition is to be sent to the next term of the county court, where, it Is hoped by those who have subscribed, a like amount will be allowed In money. If this is done it is probable that the road can be graded, and as there is com paratively but little travel on this road It would probably sullies to make It a good road for all seasons of the year. A BUILDER TALKS. A Wreat Sufferer For Years Cured In Two Weeks. A- H. Tonpkina, of Orcgoa City, Belates a Wonderful Story. A representative or the Okxuos Citt En terprise visited Mr. A. N. Tompkins, the well known carpenter and builder of Ore gon City, and finding him hard at work, asked II he was the man who bail been ill of rheumatism. Receiving an affirmative an swer, the reporter asked if he would have any objections to making a statement ot bis case, bow he was cured, etc., for the benefit of the public. "No objections at all," said Mr. Tomp kins, "I have suffered with lumbago for years. Having bad spells oft and on. Some times it would lay me up entirely. When ever I did any heavy lifting, or got wet or caught cold, I would have a bad spell. Sometimes I would be so bad that I could not straighten up. I tried about all kindsof patent medicines I beard ol, in fact, was always reading advertisements to see if I could find anything on which I could count for certain relief, if not absolute cure. I tried many physicians, one nearly sneceeded in making a morphine fiend of me by in jecting morphine into my body to relieve the pain he could not cure and was not hon est enoughto admit. All these medicines and doctors did me no good, some even as in this case, doing me harm. "While working on the Barclay building some months ago, I bad an attack. I im mediately went to Cbarman 4 Co.'s drug store and bought a porous plaster, and while there picked up an advertisement of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Here was something that promised relief. I found a statement by one Marshall, somewhere in New York, which Impressed me. I thought quite seriously about it, but started eut without purchasing any of the new remedy. Outside the store, however, I stopped and thought about it again. Then I went back and told Mr. Charman to give me a box of the Pink Pills, it was only SO cents anyway, and I had spent a good many times that try ing to find a cure and I might as well try an other one. the pills could not do me any harm if they did not cure. Having bought them, I commenced taking them at once, and after the first day I experienced relief, and in two weeks I was entirely well. I had in that time used part of the second box. Being at the home of my daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lena Tompkins, and hearing her com plain of rheumatism I gave her the balance. "Now, I have worked right along, and in spite of the present wet weather (this is the midst of the Pacific Coast rainy seasonEd.) and the fact that I have a heavy cold just now, I have no indication of the presence of my old disease, and any one ot the three things (heavy work, wet weather, and a osld) which I now have combined would have given me bad spell heretofore. I consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a great remedy and I believe they have absolutely cured me. At least, if they have not, it is only a question of continuing the remedy long enough, and if 1 ever have a return of the pain I shall fly to Pink Pills." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not looked upon as a patent medicine but rather as a prescription. They have been used as such in general practice for many years, and their success in curing various al&ictions without any other medicines was so great tfaat they were prepared in quantities and placed within the reach of every one. An analysis of their properties shows that tbev contain, in condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vi tus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions and the tired feeling re sulting from nervous prostration, all diseases resulting from vitiated humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregulari ties and all forms of weakness. Tbey build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks, In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising Irom mental worry, overwork or excesses of what ever nature. These pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark and wrapper, at SO cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and are never sold in bulk. They may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Wil liams' Medicine Company. Mulino Kites. Mdmko, May 26. For the past two days we have been having a heavy, cold rain storm coming from the south, which makes it uncomfortably pleasant for the sheep that have just been sheared. Mr. Wallace is commencing a dwelling house on his land one mile east of Mulino. Lee Jones will soon commence building a barn on his lot in Mulino, as part of the lumber is on the ground. Fred Pembroke is going to work for Ben Linn. The hop lice have made their appearance in the yards. Otherwise the prospect for a large crop is very flattering. Ws will have plenty of fruit in this neigh borhood this year. JUTIVE SONS AM) DAUGHTERS. A Preliminary Orgunlintlon Effected In Oregon City. A number of native sons and danglitsrs of pioneers met at the residence of Mrs. 0. A. Harding last Thursday evening for the pur pose of discussing the advisability of organ ising an association. On motion of 11. K. Cross R. A. Miller was elected temporary president, and Mrs. 0. A. Harding was elected temporary secretary. Short ad dresses were made by Col. Miller, H. K. Cross, 0. O. Riuearson, J. E. Hedges and others, all earnestly favoring organisation. Col. Miller had been president of a similar organltation in Jackson county, which met annually with the county pioneer associa tion. After some discussion committees were appointed to arrange plans toward a permanent organisation, as follows: Constitution and by-laws: J. E. Hedges, O. 0. Riuearson, F. U Charman, Mrs.G. A. Hauling, and Mrs. Mlna Kelly. Permanent Organisation : II, E. Cross, R. L. Holman, K. 11. Oabbert, Mrs. J. K. Hedges, and Charles Cautleld. Canvassing committee: D. C, Latourette, Hiram Straight. C. 0. Albright, Mrs. T. W. Clark and Miss Um Clark. It was decided to hold a meeting at the residence of Mrs. 0. A. Harding next Sat urday evening, to hear the report of the committees and sllect a permanent organ isation. Among the objects of the association are the cultivation of a more friendly feeling between native sons and daughters; to keep In reverence the memory of the early strug gles of pioneers in the settlement of this country ; to preserve relics and obtain his torical facts concerning the early history of the state; to encourage the organization of native sons and daughters in other counties in the state, and to form a state association of these organizations ; to act in conjunction with the pioneers of the state in associa tions, and to help to properly observe Pio neer and Native Son's Day at the meeting of the Willamette Chautauqua assembly In July. The dues will probably be placed at fifty cents per annum, which will include the initiation fee. Senator McBride has been invited to be present at the meeting Saturday night, as he is the first native born United States senator from Oregon. No county in the state affords more pioneers connected with the early history ot the state, than does Clackamas, and it is Im portant too, that they should form an asso ciation to work hand in hand with the na tive sons and daughters. Here the first set tlements were made in Oregon, ami no part of the state is so rich in historical lore and relics of the aborigines of the Northwest, One of the objects of this association will he to establish and preserve a museum of rel ics. Last Thursday evening Mrs. 0. A. Harding exhibited a stone hesd, well made, that had evidently been the head of a stone idol in possession of the Indians at one time. It was found on the Abemethy, and had likely been broken of the main body of the image at some remote time. FROM NULALLA. Death of Mrs. Alice Day Dart on Xay 25- Otlier Notes. Molalia, Ma 27. Three Inches of grain fell the past three days, a damper on camp meetings and picnics. The Governor ol the Universe has been doing some good spraying, sprinkling and pouring letrly, simply with pure cold wuter. The special " silver spraying" (some have it sulphuri ous) for the " goldbud," will be applied fur ther on, wTien the " yellow" fruit is further advanced. Dr. Ieavitt's barn is ready for shingling. It will be a solid structure when completed Grain generally looks well in this locality. Grass and garden truck could hardly do better; fruit prospect is fine; wild strawber ries prime and bursting. That Portland League that knocked out " Free Silver," last week ?) sounds much like unto that "cut and dried" assurance that was proclaimed by the Oregonian pre vious to the Dolph defeat. Died, Msy 25, Alice May Dart, wife of Edward K. Dart, leaving a son thirteen months old, a daughter ten months old, and a devoted husband. Deceased was born in Doniphan county, Kansas, in 1H72, and came with her parents, O. P. and Nancy Rich, to Oregon in 187fi. When 13 years of age she professed Christ, and lived and died a consistent Christian. A kind mother, a devoted wife and a warm friend, she will be sadly missed in I he home and neighbor hood. The remains were buried in the C. C. cemetery. The grave was covered with flowers. J. W. T Letter List.

Experiments oouducUxl uudor the aus pices of thu Ohio station and iu vu rions sections and covering several years justify at the present date theso conclu sions: The use of superphosphate and pot Rhh, separately or in combination, but without nitrogen, has frequently caused a loss of rain in crops of corn and wheat on soils deficient in. vegotahlo mutter. The yield of straw or stalks has al most invariably been increased by tho use of snpcrphoHphnta The use of superphosphate has fre quently and that of potash has occa sionally been followed by a cousiderablo increase of crop, both of grain and straw or stalks, on sod ground or land con taining an abundance of decomposing vegetable matter. An increase of grain in the crop Was generally followed the use of nitrate of soda, and this has happened in almost every case when the nitrate has boon used In combination with superphos phate or potush. When complete fertilizer has been nsed, containing both phoHphorio acid and potash, in combination with nitro gen, the phosphorio acid being carriod In less active forms than bone black su perphosphate, an increaso of crop has resulted in practically every cane, but at present prices of fertilizers and grain respectively this increase has invaria bly cost more than its value in the mar kot While, therefore, these experiments demonstrate the possibility of producing a regular and certain increase in tho yield of cereal crops by the use of a complete chemical fertilizer, yet they show that (if such fertilizers are to be nsed with any prospect of profit in Ohio in the production of cereal crops and as a part of a regular system of agricul ture) that system must provide for the accumulation in the soil of the largest possible quantity of organic nitrogen through the culture, in short rotations, of plants which have the power of ob taining nitrogen from louroes inaccessi ble to the cereals.
