After the Doctor--
THO DRUGGIST
The doctor's work is only half
what has to be donefor the pa
tient. And if the druggist be
lacking in ability and care the
prescription might as well have
never been written. But we
make a special study of each case
and our own medical knowledge
is thorough enough to be of great
use to us in those sometimes oc
curring cases when the doctor,
in his haste, makes a slight error.

NEWS NOTES FROM
AROUNDJHE STATE
At a meeting called by the West
Staytou Commercial Club a movement
was started for the construction there
of a co-operative cannery and pickling
works, by which it la planned to
handle the farm products of the farm
ers of that section. Some 75 farmers
and business men were In attendance
and many of them signed for stock In
the proposed company and most of
the farmers agreed to cultivate from
one to ten acres of vegetables each
year to supply the factory.
Portland's Population 246,000
Portland's population, within corpor
ate limits, is 246,000, according to an
estimate made by S. C. Beach, super
visor of the 1910 census. This means
a gain of 39,000 approximately, in two
years. The census of 1910 gave Port
land a population of 207.214. In the
districts outside of the city limits, yet
properly part of Portland, the census
supervisor says there has been even
swifter growth. These are St. Johns,
Part of Lents, Mount Scott, Milwaukle
and so forth, and were credited by the
census with about 23, 000 population,
which has since nearly doubled, says
Mr. Beach, and giving Portland gener
ally a populatiun pproching 300, 000.
State Poultry Plant Wanted
At the midwinter meeting of the
Board of Regents of the Oregon Agri
cultural College at Salem It was voted
to ask the legislature for $12,000 to
purchase land and establish and equip
a poultry breeding plant. George M.
Cornwall, the newly appointed mem
ber, also informed the board that the
timbermen of the stae were going to
ask the legislature for $50,000 with
which to establish a logging engineer
ing course at the college.
A hog eight months old and weigh
ing 320 pounds was recently sold at
Canby for $25. If the man who raised
it, William Tice, will furnish the par
ticulars he can win the gratitude of
thousands of Oregon farmers. This
beats yearling steers by a whole town
ship. It costs about one-half cent per day
to feed a hen, If you feed her a "form
ula ration.'To find whether the bird is
profitable or not, a ledger account
must be kept; food and care on one
side, eggs and wishbones on the other
side. Chicken raising pays well If
handled as a business. If little atten
tion Is paid to the subject there will
be little profit.
Poultrymen Take Notice
A good authority on chicken rais
ing says that 400 hens will earn a man
a better than average wage if he gives
the time to the work that he would
have to in order to keep a job working
for somebody else. Net earnings of
$1000 a year can be averaged by con
scientious attention to that number of
fowls, and it does not require that
they be thoroughbreds or high-priced
stock.
HUGE GIFT FOR THE
PACIFIC HIGHWAY
A huge gift for the Pacific High
way, of which the Portland-Hood River
road will be a link, was proffered by
the Northern Pacific last week, when
it offered to give Its abandoned right
of way and old road beds between
Tacoma and Vancouver, Wash., for
this proposed north and south high
way. Such was the announcement
made by Samuel Hill of Maryhill,
Wash., who has made frequent visits
to Hood River In behalf of the Oregon
portion of the highway.
The Northern Pacific spent more
than $2,000,000 for the property which
It now proposes to give to the state
in consideration of $1.
"Should the state of Washintgon de
cide to accept this generous offer.there
is no reason why, with a liberal appro
priation and the liberal use of convict
labor, the Pacific Highway should not
be finished by October 1, "said Mr.
Hill." The railroad company had plan
ned to build four steel bridges across
the Cowlitz and Tootle Rivers and the
Big Draw. The stone piers of these
proposed bridges, built at a big ex
pense, are as good today as ever, and
may be made available for highway
bridges. Clark and Cowlitz counties
are now building a bridge over the
Lewis River.
"Some of the roadbed has stood for
30 years and may readily be converted
to the uses of a public highway. In
eluded In the roadway Is a stretch of
graded right of way on which Jay
Gould spent $1,000,000 In 1S89 and
18H0.
"The Legislature of Washington will
not be Importuned to accept the gift.
President LUiott will simply make the
offer and the state may take It or
leave It."
Spurgron was once asked if the man
who learned to play a cornet on Sun
day would go to heaven.
The great preacher's reply was char
acteristic. Said he: "I don't see why
he should not, but" after a pause
"I doubt whether the man next door
will."
MASON GUNNING
FOR HOTEL BILL
A. I. Mason, who had rather talk
good roads than eat, is now out gun
ning for the state hotelmen's good
roads bill. At the meeting of about
150 good roads enthusiasts in Port
land Thursday evening Mr. Mason en
gaged In a clash with President Jor-
gensen of the State Hotelmen's Asso
ciation and delivered a solar plexus
blow which put Mr. JorgenBen under
the table, figuratively speaking, for the
remainder of the evening.
Publicity work on the hotelmen's bill
has not yet been started and the con
tents of the measure have been held
in abeyance until the physcholgoical
moment should arrive. However, Mr.
Mason had succeeded in securing a
draft of the bill from one of the com
mitteemen and thereby hangs the
tale.
Thinking to prime those present for
the bill which the hotel men have
espoused, Mr. Jorgensen took the op
portunity to address the meeting in
favor of the measure, incidentally tak
ing a few shots at the "fanatical grang
ers" who insist upon roads from the
farm to the market in preference to
trunk highways.
Mr. Mason's well-known fighting
blood was aroused and he "came back"
at the speaker by reciting the provis
ions of the hotelmen's measure and
shooting it as full of holes as a fine
screen sieve. It is said that Mr. Jor
gensen was considerably taken aback
and he replied by declaring that Mr.
Mason had drawn upon a resourceful
imagination in outlining the proposed
bill.
In reply to the intimation that he
was an eligible candidate for the An
anias Club, Mr. Mason Informed the
assemblage that he had a copy of the
bill in his inside pocket and declared
that if they cared to look in Mr. Jor
gensen's inside pocket they would
probably find a duplicate of the docu
ment. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Mason's
remarks Mr. Jorgnesen "took the
count" and failed to reappear in the
forensic ring for another round.
The discussion at the meeting was
chiefly concerning the construction of
trunk highways versus the road from
the farmer's door to market. The sub
ject was discussed particularly with
reference to measures which will be
introduced at the coming session of
the legislature. Many of the leading
road men of the state expressed their
opinion on the subject. lt is said that
the majority were in favor of building
the local roads first on the ground that
the trunk lines would be built after
the local roads were constructed.
SOLICITORS MUST
SHOWJjREOENTIALS
Solicitors who undertake a canvass
for funds here must hereafter have an
interview with Secretary Scott of the
Commercial Club and convince him
that their proposition is a legitimate
one and deserving of support before
they can undertake to gather in the
shekels. Local merchants have fre
quently been sollcitated of late for
contributions to causes that have in
cluded everything from wounded Turks
to starving Chinese. Some of them
prefer to hand out a small donation
rather than engage in a wrangle with
the solicitors or ask for credentials.
The same Is true of solicitors for ad
vertising other than advertising in the
local papers.
The club Is co-operating with the
merchants in this regard and signs
have appeared conspicuously in the
doors and windows of local business
places as follows:
"NOTICE TO SOLICITORS: This
business refers all solicitors of ad
vertising, other than for local news
papers, and all seekers of money for
charitable purposes, other than local
charities, to the seen tary of the Com
mercial Club for an endorsement of
their plans before advertising will be
placed or monies given. Vendors
should have a city license."
Hundreds Attend Short Course
From New York and Texas, British
Columbia and Maine, the students for
the annual winter short course at the
Oregon Agricultural College flocked in
to register by the hundreds last week,
so that an attendance much In advance
of that of any previous year is assured.
Notice to Pensioner
Under a recent ruling of the
United States Pension Department two
witnesses are required to the endorse
ment on a pension chock and the wit
nesses are required to certify that
they have seen the pension certificate
and that the number on the check cor
responds to the number on the certifi
cate. In order to facilitate cashing these
pension checks, we will be glad to have
pensioners who care to do so leave
their certificates with us for safe keep
ing ,and our tellers can then sign as
witnesses when the checks are cashed.

BIG DEAL MADE
IN DUFURPROPERTY
A large transfer of Dufur Valley
real estate was made the past week
when the Dufur-Balch holdings in that
vicinity passed into the ownership of
J. J. McGilllcuddy and F. B. Ingel. The
deal has been on for some time but
was just brought to a close during the
past week. The transfer embodies
practically all the real estate that was
contracted to the Hart Land Company
of Portland almost two years ago and
which reverted to Messrs. Dufur and
Balch some time later. It embraces
the hotel property, the large orchards
as well as several hundred acres that
are not yet planted.
Mr. McGillicuddy was for quite a
while connected with the U .S. govern
ment work on the Panama Canal but
has been in Dufur several different
times during the past two years. He
has large real estate holdings at Se
attle, Spokane and other Washington
points. Mr. Ingels has for some years
past, and has yet, large holdings in
Alaska. Mr. McGillicuddy is sole own
er of the hotel while he and Mr. Ingels
own the other property jointly.
It is the intention of the above par
ties to plant the remaining vacant
parts of the tract to fruit at once,
though none of it is to be sold. They
will develop and handle it themselves.
