Pekln. Buch reports were not sent by
the United Stateo or .British Legations,
which posses Rood facilities for JudgtaB

claims to have come to an understanding
with them whereby they are to agree to
refrain from hostilities. It is believed that
the government Is supplying them with
funda on condition that they remain quiet.
The ofaclals promise the Foreign Minis
ter that the Indemnity bonds will soon

concluded that it will be impossible to ob
tain any concession In the terms of the

started today on their Journey to the
Western Tombs. They will be absent
from Pekln 18 days. Other tralrm will

cassy. Is much opposed, not because he
would be starting from the residence of
an Ambassador accredited to the Qulr
lnal. for the King once there, say the
Vatican authorities. It ceases to be an
Embassy to become the house ot the
sovereign, but because Cardinal Rampolla
must return the royal visit to the pontiff,
and he would arrive at the house when.
King Edward having left. It bad become
again an Embassy accredited to the King
of Italy.
It is suggested that King Edward on
leaving the Vatican thould return to the
British Embassy, followed closely by
Cardinal Rampolla, who would arrive
while the King was there. The objection
against this coune is that It would create
a precedent. The nuncio at Lisbon has
been charged to sound King Edward on
the subject.

began.
He attended church both In the morn
ing and evening and in the afternoon went
for a horseback ride, accompanied by Beth
Bullock, superintendent of the Black Hills
forest reserve. The fact that President
Roosevelt attended church service twice
today was due to a mistake on the part
of the local committee. The committee
had . the impression that the President
was a member ot the German Lutheran
Church, and accordingly arranged to have
him attend that church this morning.
Later It was learned that the. President
worshlDDed at the Dutch Reformed
Church, and arrangement were at once
made to have service held In the evening
at the Livingstone Kerormea unurcn nere.

CRY FOR MARKET PLACE
Benverton -Former Objects to Peddle
His Potatoes.
BEAVERTON. Or., April . To the
Editor.) We tanners need a market place
In Portland. I am a farmer Jiving near
Beaverton and market allvmy produce In
Portland, and I do not peddle, either. I
am a subscriber of your paper and keep
DOated on the markets through tha same.
Well, Tuesday's Oregonlan gave prices
on potatoes at 4Q3S0 " cents per cental,
'growers prices, and. as I had not sold
any ot my potato crop, I loaded 27 sacks.
hitched up three horses and drove eight
mile.
When I got to the dty the potato buy.
ens would hardly look at me. No one
seemed to want potatoes. I went to one
place and offered to take trade for my
load, but, like the rest, the man said
there was no market for them. I finally
found a buyer who would only give me
S cents per sack, and I either had to
take that or go and peddle my load. I
thanked the buyer when he paid me J5.TS
for 27 sacks of Oregon Burbanks.
Now, if .we had a market placer In
Portland I could have at least stood
some show ot getting a reasonable price
for mv Dotatoes. I told the buyer that
he would not see me any more; as I would
feed the rest of my potatoes to-my pigs.
I am a member of Beaverton Grange. We
heartily Indorse the Lewis, and Clark
Fair, but can't do much- In a financial
way when we can only get & cents per
sack for potatoes. So let us nave a mar

Happy
To Say I Have Gained
in Weight and
Am Well After Years
of Heart Trouble.
Dr.
Miles' Heart Cure
Cured Me.
"For three years I suffered much from
heart trouble and at times I thought I would
drop dead. There was a feeling ot oppres
sion about rnr heart: smothering and chok
mg spelts, and I could not sleep en my left
side. At times I was so depressed that I
could hardly walk. I began talcing Dr.
Miles' Nervine and Heart Cute and am
happy to say that I no longer hste that
worn-out look. I have gained in weight and
feel perfectly welL I will never be without
your Nervine and Heart Cure. My son, now
eighteen, suffered exceedingly from nerv
ousness. 1 gave him Nervine with the best
of results. His health has been good ever
since. I gladly recommend your remedies."
Mas. ANSA BkOWje, Red Lodet, Montana.
A person who Is suffering from heart dis
ease is In jest as much dancer as the fool
hardy lad who ventures on thin ice at the
first appearance of freezing weather. Heart
disease Is the most common cause of sudden
death. Statistics show that one person in
every four have a weak heart, that weak
hearts are as common as a weakness of any
ether oman. When the heart is weak the
pulse Is irregular, the blood is thin and poor,
the circulation sluggish, causing cold extrem
ities. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure is a great heart
and blood tonic. It regulates the heart's
action, improves the circulation and sends a
streun of pure, red blood through every vein
and artery, renewing health ana strength.
