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.

HEROISM OF LOCAL MAN RECOGNIZED Announcement wag made the last of the week that the Carnegie hero com mittee has named Ernest E. I3og;ebs, until recently a resident of Hood illv er, as one of the winners in the Car negie fund distribution. Mr. Boggess was awarded a bronze medal, $415 disablement benefits and the 11000 as needed. The award was made In recognition of Mr. Boggess' heroism In attempt ing to save the life of Ray S. Utter, who was burned to death In the fire which destroyed the plant of the Hood River Manufacturing & Engineering Company In this city May 18, 1910. Both men were machinists. Utter was working with a gasoline brazier. This exploded and Utter was envelop ed In flames. The room in which he was working also caught Ore. Boggess was in an adjoining room at the time and, discovering the fire, rushed through the flames which then filled the room and attempted to pull Utter from the building. Although bis clothes caught fire and he suffered excruciating pain, Boggess persisted In his heroic effort and did not desist until he saw that his efforts were in vain. He effected his own escape from the building only in the nick of time to save his own life. His hands arms, and face were baldy burned and he was in the hospital for about two months recovering from the injuries. Boggess worked in this city for a year after the occurance. He then mov ed to Portland, where he now resides. His many friends here were much pleased at the public recognition of his heroism. SUMMER FALLOWING INJURIOUS Practice Should Be Discontinued in Western Oregon Section That summer fallowing is a practice long ago discontinued in humid dis tricts, is a statement made recently by Prof. H. D. Scudder of the Oregon Agricultural College. "It is throwing money in the river to summer fallow here in this moist part of the state, as four times the amount of plant foods that the crop can use is brought out and leaches away in the drainage," he said. "It is necessary in Eastern Oregon, how ever, where the climate is dry. "The yield per acre is the measure of successful farming. Farmers of Oregon have for too long spread them selves over too much land, and thus cut their profits and into their store of soil fertility. The problem of the Oregon farmer is to maintain the fer tility of his land, taking off crops of increasing value without depleting the yielding power of the soil."

GETS A GREWSOME GIFT A human skull with a decidedly vacant look greeted the editor of this paper when he entered the office one day last week. Alongside was a paid up subscription, which clear'y indicat ed that if there were any connection between the two It was no dead-head Into whose empty sockets we gazed. It had come from the sand pit on the flat below. We sent for Jake Hunt and he failed to recognize It as one of his friends, but thought it might bo Leaves In the Wind, a noted beauty of 100 years go. The skull Is that of an early Chinook. There is little fore head because of the custom of coast Indians to bind the head with a board in such a way that it pressed the skull back and loft no forehead, only a wide flat head. It was anything but a level headed Idea. White Salmon Enterprise. HARD TIMES DANCE IS AJEAL FROLIC It was a Jolly crowd which gathered for the Hard Times Dance given for the benefit of the University Club dance fund. Ia reality it was more like a costume ball, there being pres ent representatives of all walks in life except the respectable. Gentle men and ladies of color were conspic uous, while Weary Willies, Rubes, cow boys and the like were much in evi dence. Captain McCan, made up as a second Bill Sikes, conducted a booth and dispensed choice confections, in cluding chewing gum, which met with speedy consumption on the part of the ladies present The latter's gowns were all stunning creations, the mater ials ranging from the latest Imported flour racking to the finest of cheese cloth and bunting. Chandler's orchestra, composed of a big, black coon, Farmer Corntossel, and Professor Francois, leader, fur nished some splendid dance music. Several old-fashioned dances, includ ing the minuet and Virginia reel, were Indulged In, everybody taking part with a zest and jollity that made the occasion one of the pleasantest of its kind. One of the features of the evening was the Siwash Indian war dance lead by Heap Big Chief Fredricy in com plete costume. While the orchestra manipulated the tomtoms, the string of savages executed the steps in a way which reminded one of a Sing Sing chain gan, the costumes not as sisting materially to dispel the illusion. Many of the young women appeared in the guise of Sunbonnet Sue at sweet sixteen, with braids down their backs. Several old-fashioned costumes, pre served the past quarter century or more, were also worn. PASTOR TO DISCUSS SOCIAL PROBLEMS A notable series of lectures on the social problem by Rev. Edward A. Harris began at Riverside church last Sunday evening. These lectures are based upon the findings of the Ameri can Institute of Social Service In New York and each one is illustrated by fifty stereoptlcon views of conditions as they exist. The lecture Sunday evening was on "How the Other Half Lives" and dealt with the wages and hours of the laboring class in this country, what the employers are doing and with the effects of labor organi zations. Mr. Harris pointed out in the begin ning that there is in reality no such thing "as the other half," that man is really one but that there is a dis cernible cleavage in society developed around the difference between those who work by the hand and those who work by the brain. These differences were vividly brought to mind by the scenes presented from the steel mills, coal mines, factories, railroads, sweat shops, etc. The lecture was compre hensive and very instructive. The subject for next Sunday night is "Where the Other Half Lives", considering the housing of the poor and contrasting the conditions in this and other countries. These lectures are free to the public and deserve hearty support. SIEG BREAKS INTO PRINT Manager of Union Gets Publicity at Cincinnati Convention WUmer Sieg of the local Union was given honorable mention in one of the Cincinnati papers last week for hav ing traveled about 3000 miles to at tend the gathering of commission mer chants held there. The item says: WUmer Sieg of Hood River, Oregon, representing the Bex Apple Distribu tors' Association of the Northwest, traveled approximatoly 3000 miles to attend the convention of the National League of Commission Merchants In this city. Mr. Sieg looks after the in terest of Eastern consumers of apples In the Hood River district in Oregon, where he declares the finest apples in the world are grow n. After he had been In Cincinnati three hours during which time he viewed the ruins of the two recent downtown fires, paid a visit to two large office buildings and sur veyed the new Union Central Life In surance skyscraper, Mr. Sieg declared that he believed Cincinnati Is the best most progressive and thoroughly up-to- date city in the United Staes. R. D. Carrier Nearly Perishes White Salmon Worn out tramping through tho snow after his team hail broken w ay from tho sled, W. L. Olsen, mail carrier, fell exhausted In his tracks while on his way to the Bristol postoffice and would have perished had not Bert Ra'h, a rancher found him. The team pulled Olsen over the dash board and dragged him some distance before stopping. Placing the mall sacks, made heavy by parcels post, on the horses, he endeavored to follow them to some house but finally dropped. PACKER PREOICTS STRONGER MARKET A dispatch to the latest Issue of The Packer from Chicago states that ap ple holders consider that the outlook for a successful close to this year's apple deal is far more promising now, due to the disastrous freeze this week in the California citrus fruit belt Ap ple operators to a man express sym pathy for the orange growers on the coast and regret is heard on every hand. Reports Indicate that fully 60 per cent of the oranges in Southern California have been ruined and the balance may show more or less poor quality due to the freeze. Apples and oranges are strong competitors and It is figured that a material decrease in the citrus fruit supply will cause a corresponding increase in the demand for apples. It Is therefore predicted that the prevailing prices of apples from now on will be higher than might have been expected had not the California freeze occurred. NOTED MUSICIANS Waldteufel, the greatest French waltz composer of the present day, Dudley Buck and other noted music ians have written some fine selections especially for the peerless Schubert Lady Quartette of Chicago.
