Dec. it. iSpedal.V T!llmook stands oik a the leading county In Oregon fitted in every possible way for the cranberry industry. Atmos pheric conditions, plenty of water and nioisure in the soil, surh a exist in Tinamolc in thj Summer ninntlia. are h!! favorable to raising cranberries. There are thousands of acres of non productive land in TUlaruo.ik which is well adapted for cranberry bogs, and now that railroad connections are as sured next year Iih Portland the in dustry will (trow. It Is only a few years ago tliat dajry 1n; in Tiiianiouk fount. v was in ils in fancy, yet today it has a wide reputa tion as the leading county in Oregon for ltj dairy products, especially. ciieose. and the most prosperous section, considering the population. The cranffrry Indus! ry today is In its infancy in Tillamook County, with a great future before it. The industry lias passed its experimental etages. and it is now and lias been for several years .a demonstrated fact that Tillamook can raise as fine flavored cran berries as anywhere in the I'nited States. Not only so. but those who have been engaged in the business have found it a profitable business, for the hogs have turned out a gigantic success. Most of the cranberries are raised In the Sand lake district, where the first bogs were prepared, and since then the demand for Tillamook cranberries has been so (treat that the crop Is soon bought up. In fact, this year the berries were con tracted for at good figures before they were picked. W. C. King was the first to experiment with the berries some few years ago at Sandlake. IJke every other indus try. It requires labor and a certain amount of capital to develop. fr. King says: "I find that the vines are well adapted to the climate in Tillamook. They grow vigorously and where, the bogs are prop erly prepared they are enormously pro ductive. 'While picking a crop I meas ured off om ground and picked them carefully, and found that they produced at the rate of 1 bushels to the acre. Allowing one dollar a bushel as a net profit. I do not know of an asrriciiltural product that will compare with It. and a net profit of one dollar Is placing fig ures extremely low. "It costs from $!J0 to H0 per acre to rrepare the ground and plant the vines. Including the cost of plants. The land which has timber standing on it is the. most expensive to prepare, although none the less adapted to the raising of cran berries so long as It Is made up of vegetable mjick or peat. "The bog must be so situated that It can be drained by means of ditches to tit dep'h of at least 13 Inches, and one must also have control of plenty of water for irrigation and flooding pur pones. "A bog once set in the proper shape will last indefinitely. The first cos;, though large, cuts little figure 1n the long run. The cranberries grown In Tillamook are. or a darker color than those grown in the Kast. They are much superior in flavor, and weigh more to fie bushel. The slxe of the berry is about tbe same. "The- picking season is one of pleasure to both picker and proprietor. IJnes are stretched across a plot of ground three feet apart, and each picker works be tween the lines, the vines making a com v carnet unon which to work. They hang on uprights about six Inches high. The berries are a bright red color, and In rnanv cases three and four deep, and touching each other, completely hiding the ground and vines beneath. "In the- East the vines are often In fested with Insect pests, and if the grow ers have not the control of water the whole crop is In danger. I understand the posts have been imported here at different times in shipping plants, but they soon disappear, as they cannot thrive !n this climate." State Bank Is Assured. MILWAVKIE, Or.. 3Dec. 20.

Santaella & .Co., Makers, Tampa The Hart Cigar Co., Distributors MEN-don't be a "trial-horse" for any doctor Consult Me First Even though your case may be one that some other doctor in able to cure, and though his cure be absolutely thorough and permanent, there is yet good cause for your coming to me for treat ment. The service I render is entirely unlike and better than the ordinary. I have devised new and scientific methods of treating men's diseases in all -their phases. I cure' cases that others cannot cure, and cases that others: can cure I cure in less time and without pain or possibility of injury. All my forms of treatment have been perfected along- the lines of Nature's requirements and are in exact harmony witlt the natural recuperative forces. Therefore, my cures are. painless, prompt and thorough. My Fee For & CURE Is Only 1 qp iL I Will Wait For My Fee Until I Cure You CONTRACTED DISORDERS The serious results that may follow neg lect of diseases could scarcely he exagger ated. Safety demands an absolutely thor ough cure in the- least possible time. I have treated more coses of these disorders than any other physician upon the Pacific Coast. My cures are thorough and are accomplished In less time than other forms of treatment require in producing- even doubtful results. I employ remedies of my own devising, and my treatment is equally effective in both re cent and chronic cases. I TREAT MEN ONLY The vast multitude of men wno have taken mv treatment have not been disappointed. Thev know that I do not promise more than I perform. To them I have actually illus trated in the cure of their own cases the truth of what 1 claim, namely, that my treat ment is as certain to cure as it is tliat in patient engages my services and follows my directions. My success is due not alone to education, experience, skill and scientific equipment, but to the tact that I limit my studv and practice s'trlctlv to diseases and weaknesses of men. To mile maladies alone 1 have earnestlv and exclusively devoted 25 years of my life, and on them all my facul ties are concentrated. EXAMINATION FREE I offe? not only FRKK consultation and advice, but of every .case tliat comes to me I will make a careful examination and diagnosis without charge.
