Fkee Mistletoe for the Majjt. Mis tletoe has within a few years past be come one of the prime necessaries for the proper celebration of Christmas, and is considered even more desirable, and Is more expensive, than holly. Yesterday a Yamhill County farmer wag standing on "Washington street, near Third, with a wagonload of mistletoe for sale. For a lino bunch, with plenty of berries, he asked JL This Is the first wagonload seen on the streets for .sale this teason, but a large quantity ' of the parasite has been distributed free, through peculiar cir cumstances. A well-known department store firm a day or two ago procured a "box of mistletoe nearly as big as a box car, from somewhere up the "Willamette "Valley, and piled the whole on the tope of two evergreen-decorated porches, put up In front of the entrances to their store. One of the proprietors said his idea was to give all the- young people in the city a chanco to get "under the mistletoe bough," In hope that this might have a tendency to increaw the number of mat rimonial alliances during the coming year. Whether a great many couples took aa vantage of the opportunity, and each car ried off a bough as relic, or just how it -., 0 . -- -- - ,,, happened. Is not known; but It was found jcsicuay ii.Un11UB uit uw v. "-""" tletoc had evaporated. The remainder was therefore removed and piled on the sidewalk, and by the time it had been replaced by more common evergreen the whole lot had disappeared, and so many homes have been decorated with mistle toe free of cost. It Is probable that there will be plenty of the stuff on the market before Christmas. Milk Eleven Cents a Gallon. The projectors of the concentrated milk fac tory shortly to be started In Portland ex pect to pay about 11 cents per gallon for the milk they use. As milk delivered to Portland consumers brings the milkman about 25 cents a gallon, this 11 cents may appear small; but according to Food Com missioner Bailey the producer will get more for hla milk than by retailing at the greater price. "Milkmen." he said, "have to maintain a pair of horses, wag ons, and a driver, who goes all over tne city, leaving a pint here and a quart there, and so on, while the factory will take all the producer has at one time, be the amount great or small. Thus the milkman's troubles will be ended for tho day. as he will have no anxiety over col lecting; no worry over the loss of bills, no surplus milk to throw away; and no shortage to make up by purchase. The 11 cents will pay the milkman much bet ter than the 25 cents does now." How Bohemia Country Looks. A phy sical picture of the Bohemia mines, made of plaster of paris, is on exhibition at an office in the Sherlock building. It show3 the mountains In that part of Lane County to be rather high and rugged, and, as the roads wind around the steep points. It suggests hard work for the horses engaged Jn drawing supplies to the Helena, the Champion and the Muslck mines among the deep, wooded canyons. Ciampion Basin, the terminus of the pro posed new railroad from Cottage Grove, Is a narrow defile, beyond which tunnels will have to be run should the line be ex tended, as there Is no pass to go through. Government Too Stingy. The Agricul tural Department at Washington did not succeed in getting any bids for the con struction of buildings for the Weather Bureau at North Head, Tatoosh and Port Crescent, Wash., and contractors are again Invited to send In sealed proposals. A Portland contractor said yesterday that there was no money in such jobs, as the Government only appropriates sums tor which tho buildings could have been erect ed several years ago. These appropria tions, he said, would have to be raised ir the department desires, any response to its advertisements. Boxing. Boxing. Boxing. Neill vs. Tract. - Twenty Rounds.

Hershberg, a bank er of Independence, is making the exper iment, which Mr. Watson feels sure will be successful, as oil has seeped into many of the wells In that vicinity In such a way as to render the water unfit for use. He thinks he will strike a good flow at a depth of S00 to 1203 feet. Mrs. Thielsen's Funeral Today.

Judge Cake does not think It lies within the province of the County Court to provide a Deptuy Sheriff and pay him a monthly salary to do police duty at Montavllla. The residents of that suburb have peti tioned for such an officer, and state that a suitable man can be obtained for $50 per month. Judge Cake expressed the following opinion on the subject: "The Sheriff - the peace officer, but can hard ly be expected to police the county. We don't see how we can grant the petition, although we can have a man deputized as a snerin, it tne people at ju-omavuia wui pay hlra ,tlieinsiavcs.1 u we grant one re- quest we may have them quest we may have them coming in irom all over the county. If Individual com munities will pay the salaries the Coun ty Court will have no hesitation in having the commissions Issued." Portland's Great Sewers. There have been more sewers constructed In Portland this year, and at a larger aggregate cost, than In any previous year. The Beech fitreet sewer is ono of the largest on this Coast, The Holiaday-avenue sewer Is also an extensive one. The East Oak-street aewer is a long one, and there Is also the extension of tho East Davis-street sewer on the Sandy road, and a. large number of smaller sewers. The greater part of this work has been done on the East Side, and there has also been a very large amount expended In the construction of gravel roadways on that side of the river, all of which has materially promoted the growth of that part of the city. Busy at PoStofficd. The clerks in the postoffice are all kept on the rush these days, and in front of the stamp window there Is a crowd waiting most of tht time. Three additional clerks have al ready been granted, but they were so badly needed In other parts of the office that not ono could be spared to open an other stamp window. Two more addi tional clerks have been asked for, and. as soon as these arc granted, one of them will be put In charge of the extra stamp window opened during the holiday season. This accommodation for the public is sadly needed. Did Wiley Rob This House?

In a recent interview, one of the bright est retail men of New York said that a reaction has set in during the post few years from giving trumpery, ornamental articles as Christmas gifts In favor of presents that aro sensible and useful. This reaction has also reached the Pa cific Coast, as Is most strikingly Illustrat ed In the large display window of Ellers Piano House, where a half-dosen pianos "sold," one to a Portland Hotel man; one j to a physician; one to a planing mill mant I one to a turnlture aeaier; one to a grocer, and ono to the bookkeeper of a prominent wholesale house. Every one of these instruments are In tended as Christmas surprises, and will "be delivered at their respective homes on Christmas ove. Nor are these by any means all the Instruments tha- have been selected by provident buyers. A piano or organ brought home Christ mas eve will gladden the hearts of the entire family, and nothing can be secured that will add so much to the general en joyment as a first-class musical instru ment. It Is not s. mero toy, but a house hold necessity, .an aid to higher culture, an Indication of refinement. Thoughtful parents should consider this before It is too late. Select an instrument now, while the assortment Is complete, at Ellers Pi ano House, and if you are not prepared to .pay the cash down for ai Instrument, make a reasonable cash payment and ar rangements to pay the balance as best suits your convenience. ., Remember, too, that piano stools, piano scarfs and music cabinets make most ac ceptable gifts.

A sick stomach sours tho disposition, and prevents sleep and brain rest, and a sick brain sours the stomach and clogs the bowels Men of sedentary habits, brain workers who don't get much exercise, have sick stomachs and bowels, and wear out their brains and nerves.
