FT HARHT J. BROTVX.
OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU. "Wash
ington. Dc. 1. As a result of the re
cent election, a large number of desir
able committee places will be vacant
In the next House of Representatives,
and Congressmen from the far West
will certainly receive their share of
Kood appointments when the new House
of Representatives Is organized. The
most Important places will, of course,
fro to men of the longest service.
Most Western men are anxious to
become members of the committee on
public lands. There will be three va
cancies on this committee next time,
and Inasmuch as one is left by Repre
sentative French, or Idaho, it is possi
ble that the new Congressman from
that state. Colonel Hamer, will be fa
vored. It has been some time since
the North Pacific Coast has been rep
resented oil this committee, and it Is
possible tlrat Representative Polndex-
ter. of Washington, or one of the Con
gressmen from Oregon may secure one
or the other vacancies.
Place oq Harbor Committee Sure.
The committee of rivers and harbors
Is as valuable to the Pacific Coast men
as any committee in the House; prob
ably more valuable than any other com
mittee In the House; probably more
valuable than any other committee,
riot even excepting public lands, and
there will be five vacancies on this
committee atter the 4th of March, and
six if Chairman Burton Is elected to
the Senate. Representative Jones leaves
one vacancy, and Oregon or Washing
ton wllL almost certainly secure the
place, and In view of the large num
ber of vacancies occurring, it is barely
possible that both staes may be repre
sented on the committee. There are
no states of the Rocky Mountain re
gion represented on this committee, be
cause they have no interest In river
and harbor Improvements.
Vacancies on Ways and Means.
Washington and Wyoming are the
only far Western states which stand
any show of beln represented on the
big ways and means committee." which
will frame the tariff bill. That Is be
cause the Congressmen from those
states ere the only Western men of
any conslderabel length of service. If
Wyoming is to secure one or two va
cancies. Representative Mondell must
give up the chairmanship of the com
mittee on public lands. If a Washing
ton man Is chosen, it will probably be
sir) uo Mou 'Hsuiusn.) a.ntMuK4jdAH
Interstate commerce committee. or
Representative Humphrey, who is on
the committee on merchant marine.
Humphrey wants to go on the naval
committee and Cushman wants to go
on rivers and harbors, and It is possi
ble that - under these circumstances
neither Washington or Wyoming will
get the place on ways and means
left by Representative Bonynge of
Colorado.
May Help to Make Tariff.
However, the vast importance of the
tariff bill to the West, and the com
parative weakness of the West in both
branches of Congress makes it abso
lutely essential that Western men
should do everything possible to secure
positions on the committees handling
tne tariff bill, even If they are com
pelled to sacrifice committee assign
ments which to them seem more at
tractive. For Instance, It Is more nec
essary that the- Faclflc Coast states
Khould have representation on . the
ways and means committee than on
the committee handling river and har
bor bills, fo:- the waterways will be
taken care of anyhow, while the in
dustries affected by the tariff may be
very seriously injuicd If the forthcom
ing bill is not properly framed in
committee.
Good Vacancies to Secure.
Not all f the members from the West
can expect to go o.i the foremost com
mittee of the Hous:.
But there are other good committee
vacancies woich may be secured by
ome of the men from the Rocky Moun
tain states. There are three vacancies
on the committee of public buildings,
one on naval affaJrs. two on the mer
chant marine, where the ship subsidy
bill is pending, and two on the irriga
tion committee. Representative Ellis,
of Oregon. Is the only far Western man
on this latter committee at the pres
ent time.
To lawyers the judiciary committee
is always attractive, and under the
next administration, when efforts will
be made to perfect laws to regulate
the trusts, etc.. and when further ef
forts will be made to regulate the in
terstate shipment of liquor, a place on
this committee will be more than or
dinarily desirable. This committee will
be one of the highest Importance for
the next four years. There are five
vacancies, and any member who has
served at least one term In Congress
is tliglhle for appointment, provided
he is a lawyer.
Census Patronage Big Plum.
If the Interstate commerce law Is to
be further n. edified it must be done
through the committee on interstate
commerce, on whlh there are two va
cancies. There are three vacancies on
the committee on Indian affairs, a
committee of not much importance be
cause its work Is largely perfunctory.
The committee on census In the next
Congress will have to handle legisla
tion affecting the census to be taken
in 1910. A great deal of patronage
goes with membership on this com
mittee, and therefore the two existing
vacancies will be much sought. It is
only once In ten years that this com
mittee is important, and the coming
year is the cne when members desire
to sit at Its table.
It is conceded that the Aldrlch cur
rency bill, passed last session, was only
a makeshift, and that a permanent cur
rency bill will have to be framed and
enacted during the coming administra
tion. Kuch a bill will be reported by
the House committee on banking and
currency, on which there will be two,
and possibly four, vacancies after the
4th of March. If Representative Bur
ton of Ohio goes to the Senate there
will be three vacancies, and if Speaker
Cannon punishes Representative Fow
ler for entering the Speakership race,
Che chairmanship of that committee
will be vacated, and the fourth vacancy
created.
Xot on Appropriations.
On the big committee of appropria
tions which handles most all of tho big
appropriation bills there Is one va
cancy, but there is little likelihood
that this position will be given to a
Western man.
The only other vaacncles worth men
tioning are those on the committee on
agriculture, a committee of consider
able importance, especially to Western
states. Oregon is now represented on
this committee. There are four va
cancies to be filled, one left by Con
gressman Cook, of Colorado, and It 1
morar than likely that some Rocky
Mountain state will be given his place
on tte committee.
MOTHER KILLS OWN CHILD
Then Commits Suicide by Swallow
ing Carbolic Acid.
MEMPHIS. Tenn.. Dec. L A woman,
apparently about 35 years of age, who
registered at a local hotel yesterday un
der the name of Mrs. Schmidt, Hot
Springs, Ark., committed suicide early to
day by swallowing carbolic'acid after ad
ministering a portion of the drug to a
child of seven years who accompanied
her. Among her effects were found the
address of N. P. Errington, 242 Schiller

LAUD OREGON APPLE
Growers Proclaim It State's
Best Advertisement.
SESSION WITH AD CLUB
Speakers at Joint Meeting Tell of
Benefits to Be Derived .From Co
operation Between Orchard
lsts and Publicity Men.
Rival applegrowers of the Willamette
Valley, the Rogue River Valley and
Hood River last night Joined hands and
proclaimed the apple Oregon's greatest
medium for advertising purposes. Th
keynote of the addresses was "Oregon
and Oregon apples,' sentiment unani
mously favoring the elimination of sec
tional differences and discussions. There
prevailed a general feeling of the get-
inal Garden of Eden virtually had been
transplanted and established in Western
Oregon. Although statistics were sup
posed to be excluded from the discussions
of the evening. Judge Colvlg could not
refrain from citing figures relative to
Jackson County as a practical demonstra
tion of what the apple meant for that
section of the state.
Jackson County Possibilities.
"Jackson Ctmnty has nearly 2,000,000
acres," he said. "The county has an as
sessed valuation on orchards alone of
about $10,000,000. We have 20,000 acres in
apple trees, all of which are not in bear
ing, however, but when this acreage la
In full bearing, 20,000 freight cars will be
required to transport the crop to the mar
kets of the world every year. At $1.50
a box. and that Is a very moderate price
for this fruit, such a. crop would net
Jackson County $23,500,000 annually, and
this estimate does not Include pears and
peaches, of which we produce the finest
that are grown In the state. In ad
dition, to our fruit interests, we have
80,000 acres that are devoted to the grow
ing of wheat, alfalfa and other products.
Within the next 15 years the income of
Jackson County for fruit products alone
will reach $50,000,000 annually. Some of
the fruit lands in our county cannot be
bought for $3000 an acre."
This Is the sort of advertising that
pays. It serves to advertise the product
we have to sell, the business we are en
gaged in and at the same time serves
as an inducement to attract new settlers
to the state. Any exhibit of Oregon ap
ples, whether made In Oregon or in the
PORTLAND NATIONAL BANKS MAKE GOOD SHOWING IN STATEMENT, JUST ISSUED

The stable condition of Portland National banks Is reflected la the latest statement, ju.it iiwued In respomw to the call of

together-and-pull-together spirit. The
occasion , was a special meeting of the
Portland Ad Club, when the visitors to
the horticultural conventions being held
In this city were the guests of the ad
men. C. C. Chapman, president of the
Ad Club, presided as chairman of the
meeting.
Speech by Judge CoJvlg.
Judge W. M. Colvig Introduced the dis
cussion and elaborated at considerable
length on "the Apple as an Advertise
ment for Oregon." He became decidedly
humorous In treating with the subject
and explained 'that any surprise which
might have followed the selection by the
Ad Club of the apple as an advertising
feature was easily dispelled when It waj
remembered that it was an apple that
drove Adam and Eve from the Garden of
Eden.
M. O. Lownsdale, of Yamhill County,
Western Oregon's indefatigable apostlo
of Improved horticultural conditions,
was presented by President Chapman'
as "the dual advertising man. in aa
dltlon to being the shipper of probably
the finest pack of apples In the world.
Mr. Liownsdale was referred to as the
original and tireless booster of the
Yamhill County Development Club.
Quality Best Advertisement.
"I am a farmer and not an adver
tiser." said Mr. Lownsdale. in response
to the flattering introduction he had
received. "We produce. It remains
for others as advertisers to do the rest.
The best way to advertise Oregon with
the apple Is to continue to produce an
Improved quality of this fruit. Let us
get an apple without a worm, one that
is without scab or other imperfection.
Growers must be educated as to a uni
form pack. We must produce the very
best stuff If we are to advertise Ore
gon. In this relation it is the duty of
every citizen in the state to advocate
and insist on the Importance of eradi
cating the pests that are a menace to
the industry.
"In the Willamette Valley we have
been confronted with a serious condi
tion as to horticulture. We began
our crusade for better fruit by tackling
a condition the result of pioneer, thrift
lessness. I might say indolence. But
the growers are being educated to the
necessity for improved methods, and
results already are speaking for them
selves. Must All Work Together.
"There Is need for co-operation all
along the line and from all sections.
Let us continue to work for Oregon and
Oregon apples and all pull together to
that end. We must eliminate sectional
differences and discussions and unite our
efforts to the production of a product of
uniform quality without regard to the
particular locality where it is grown. At
the same time the farmer is entitled to
and should receive the encouragement
and the co-operation of the merchant.
With that assistance, we, as the pro
ducers, can assure you the bloom and
fruit of Paradise. When. such conditions
surrounding the growing of fruit have
been attained then you will be able ef
fectively to advertise tho state by your
excellent apples.
. E. H. Shepard, a former Portland busi
ness man now engaged in the apple
(rrowlng business at Hood River, told of
the results that have attended the efforts
of the people of that famous district in
depending on the apple as a means of
advertising. He earnestly Indorsed the
remarks of Mr. Lownsdale as to the ne
cessity for producing the best possible
quality of fruit, but directed his remarks
more particularly to the value of the
apple for advertising purposes.
Method at ollod River.
"Our first attempt to advertise our sec
tion by the use of apples was made in
1S02," Bald Mr. Shepard. "In that year
we had a small county fair where an ex
hibit of apples was made. Some Port
land visitors were so favorably Impressed
with the excellence of the apples shown
that they bought a carload of the fruit
and sent it to St. Louis where it was
placed on exhibition. Two years later
another carload was shipped to a leading
buyer In New York City. The apples were
arranged on exhibition and all of the
apple-buyers of the city were invited to
Inspect the display. The result was that
in a few hours the entire exhibit bad
been sold at from $3 to $8 a box, although
the exhibit contained some very ordinary
varieties. Similar displays have been
shown In New York annually ever since
and the best of results have followed.
"Naturally, the apple is an irresistible
temutation." said Judge Colvlg. "I dare
say a man could not be found today who
would refuse to partake of a delicious
SpiUenberg if profTered by one of our
beautiful Eves in the Rogue River Valley."
The speaker reviewed the history of
the apple which originated In Central
Asia and showed tht It had followed
civilization ever Westward until the orig-
East, pays. In a year there are shipped
from Oregon probably 1000 carloads of
apples. Each car consists of 600 boxes,
making the total number of boxes 600,000.
One splendid plan of advertising is tc
have each one of those boxes labeled as
Oregon fruit. This should be Insisted on
by growers before their fruit is shipped.
Rapid Strides of Industry.
The fruit industry of this state !a
growing more rapidly than the residents
of this state Imagine or can believe.
It now ranks as the fourth or fifth in
dustry in the state. The wheat lands
are gradually wearing out and the yield
of this crop Is decreasing annually. The
salmon catch Is falling off annually and
eventually the timber of the state will
be cut down. Finally there will be hut
two Important Industries in this state
fruitgrowing and dairying. That being
so. let us make the best possible use of
the apple as an advertisement, that mo-e
people may be brought to this state to
assist in the development of those two
Industries which promise so much to the
material prosperity of this great state."
Professor J. B. Leathermann, of Al
bany, related his experiences in the.
management of a small apple orchard
and fully indorsed the estimates of the
preceding speakers as to the worth of
the apple further to exploit the great
possibilities of this state horticulturally.
During the evening the guests were
served with delicious apple cider of de
cidedly recent vintage. The treat was
relished, proving quite appropriate as a
by-product of the subject for the
night's discussion.

HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA
.
Oil of Wlnfergrrrn. Thymol, Glycerine,
Etc., Used as a Simple Wash
It really seems strange that so many
people suffer year in and year out with
eczema, when it is now no longer a
secret that oil of wintergreen mixed
with thymol, glycerine, etc., makes a
wash that ia bound to cure.
Old, obstinate cases, it is true, cannot
be cured in a few days, but there Is
absolutely no sufferer from eczema
who ever used this simple wash and
did not find immediately that wonder
fully, soothing, calm, cool sensation
that comes when the itch is taken
away. Instantly upon applying a few
drops of the wash the remedy takes
effect, the itch Is allayed. There is no
need of experiment the patient knows
at once.
Instead of trying to compound the oil
of wintergreen. thymol, glycerine, etc..
in the right proportions ourselves we
are using a prescription which is uni
versally found the most effective. It Is
known as the D. D. D. Prescription, or
Oil of Wintergreen Compound. It is
made by the D. D. D. Co. of Chicago,
and our long experience with this rem
edy has given us great confidence in
its merits.

A BAD BACK IS A BAD HANDICAP
Few of us can afford to be idle, and
to thou who work a sound, strong- back
Is a necessity. A bad back prevents
rest or ..sleep, and aches all day with
a dull, tired throb.
Don't think because sharp twinges
strike you when you lift, or twist
about, or reach, that your work Is too
hard for you. Bad backs are common
In every occupation. Those aches and
twinges are only Nature's warning that
the kidneys need help. .
It is easy to tell if the kidneys are
sick, and are not thoroughly doing
their work of filtering- the blood. Back
ache is an early warning. Headache,
dizzy spells, puffy swellings under the
eyes or In the ankles and legs, nervous
ness. Irritability, rheumatic pain and
tired feelings also tell of kidney Ills.
Examine the urine. If It is extreme
ly pale and light the kidneys are not
getting out all of that urlo poison.
If it is dark-colored and thick, pas
sages too frequent, or too scanty, if
there Is any sediment deposited when
it stands, if passages burn or pain,
that is proof enough that the kidneys
need attention.
For Daily Work. One Needs a Strong
Back and Wall Kidneys.

FORTLAXD TESTIMONY.
Mrs. A. S. Cummlngs, living at 241
Clackamas street. Portland. Or., says:
'I am always pleased to sav a good
word in favor of Dnan's Kidnev I'll Is.
and am glad to confirm the statement
I gave In favor of this excellent rem
edy some years ago after It had re
lieved me of a bad rase of kidnev
trouble. This complaint hud clung to
me for a loag time, and often the' at
tacks of pain in my back wore so
acute as to be a'most unbearable. There
was also a dull, heavy aching In the
region of my kidneys, and although I
was constantly using remedies, I con
tinued to suffer. Tho Irregular action
of the kidney secretions showed that
my misery all arose from my kidneys,
and - when Doan's Kidney Pills were
recommendf-d to me I procured them
from the Laue-Davls Drug Company.
They not only eradicated tne pains in
my back, but strengthened my kidneys
and Improved my general health."
