-In view of the entire lack of re

deal, and that Seattle has persisted giv
ing this city the short end of every
thing. K. C. Burllngame, one of the di
rectors of the Walla Walla Commercial

night criticised severely visiting mem
bers of the Seattle Commercial Club.
On two counts he !ndlcted-"he Seat
tleltes. Klrst. because they always
make It a point to visit Walla Walla
at night. not deeming thla city of
enough Importance to make a visit In
the daytime. He pointed out that Walla
Walla trade goes to Portland because
Portland comes after It and said that
Portland business bouses have SO resi
dent representatives who make head
quarters here, while ' Seattle has but
two.
The second count he made was that
when the Seattle Commercial Club Is
sued a booklet. The Hesourcea of Se
attle." every section of the state ex
cept Walla Walla was mentioned. Mr.
Burllngame said In no uncertain terms
what Walla Walla thought of this
treatment and warned the visitors
against Its repetition. He also made
some comparisons between Seattle and
Portland. In bank clearings and new
buildings, and asked Seattle to explain.
No one answered Mr. Burllngame.
The Seattle vialtors arrived here at

Passenger officials of the Oregon

This proves conclusively that the
permanent population of Portland has

the number of visitors from nearby
points was much In excess of that of
1910.
Incomplete figures from the trans

Be Needed.
MOVEMENT IS STARTED
Corvallls College, Hallway Officials

In Gilliam, Sherman and
Morrow Counties.
i
Reformation of farming methods In
Gilliam, Sherman and Morrow Counties
Is proposed through a co-oreration of
the railroad officials, business men of
this city and the Oregon Agricultural
College. The preliminary step, looking
toward this Improved agricultural con
dition for the three counties enumer
ated, was taken yesterday st a meet
ing of a special committee appointed by
O. P. Johnson, chairman of the publicity
committee of the Portland Commercial
Club.
The plan considered and discussed by
the committee contemplates a trl-county
movement and has for its purpose a
material Improvement In the agricul
tural methods now pursued by the tillers
of the soil in those counties who. In for
mer yeurs. have depended on & crop
largely through Industrious application
and .trusting in providence for rain
when It was needed. In that section of
the state, however, rain is In no sense
a dependable quantity.
Ilitslncss Men Vnlte.
J. N. Teal, a member of the commit
tee, at yesterday's meeting of the com
mittee, reported that the business men
of Portland, officials of the various rail
roads and the authorities of the Oregon
Agricultural College had united In an
effort to Improve agricultural conditions
In the counties mentioned.
Jt has been decided to run a demon
stration train through the three East
ern Oregon counties, the subject of in
quiry by this special committee, next
Fall. On this trip Dr. James Wlthy
combe, of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, will not only distribute seeds but
he will at the same time dispense gen
eral Information as to how best to till
the soil In the cultivation of crops. At
the same time, announcment will be
made of prizes which will be paid for
tha most successful experimenters.
It was announced at yesterday's meet
ing of the committee by tr. Wlthy
combe, of the Agricultural College, that
at the present time and under the
methods of agriculture employed In Gil
liam, Sherman and Morrow counties,
where Summer fallow is practiced, only
two crops are produced In four years.
It Is the contention of Dr. Wlthycombe
that changes must be mode in the use
of the soli In those sections, otherwise
the soli will become entirely Impover
ished as a consequence of continuous
production of wheat and other grain
crops. He recommends as alternative
crops, field peas and alfalfa.

Millions of Folks
Use Only 'Cascarets
They never have Headache, Biliousness,
glug-Klsti, Inactive Bowels or a Bad
Stomach to make them miserable.
A million boxes a month. That's the
sale of Cascare.ts. And every tablet in
every box means a day of good cheer.
Think what a world of happiness this
candy laxative has brought to men and
women also the children. Are you get
ting your share?
Caecarets cure bowel troubles when
thev have developed. But that Is the
least of their uses. Their best service
Is to prevent the many Ills that come
from Inactive bowels. Think of the
days when you are not at your best.
The mornings when you don't feel
right, the afternoons when you are logy,
the evenings when you are Irritable.
The cause lies in the bowels.
One Cascaret makes everything dif
ferent. Don't eay "I'll take it tonight."
Take it at once. Carry a box in your
pocket. The hours before bedtime are
too good to be wasted. Cascarets are
gentle and pleasant. Tlielr action is as
natural as the action of fruit on the
bowels. They are sold by all druggists
at 10 cents per box.
