FAST HORSE ESCAPES THUG Sam t'orliran. of Vaiivouvcr, Hur ries Out of Uracil. . VANCUL VKR, Wash.. Dec. 26. (Spe cial.) As am Cochran, of this city, was driving home last night from St. John. Or., an attempt was made by two men, a short distance this side of Maegley .Junction, to hold him up, but he escaped with only the loss of his whip. It was dark, but as he drove along he noticed two men walking on the road a little ahead of him in about a foot of water, though off from the road, which was higher and drier. This was auspicious, so he prepared to make a dash between them. As he came up to them, the smaller man on the right reached for the horse's bridle and the big man on the left made direct for the rig. Cochran gave his horse a hard cut with the whip and she sprang for ward with a leap. the. small man miss ing the bridle and the front wheel of the rig striking the big fellow square In the chest and stomach, tum bling him over in the water and mud. The horse sped on and Cochran did not return to see whether the fellow was injured He says he has refused $300 for the mare, but he would not take $100 now. This is the third time an attempt at a holdup has occurred at that particular spot. COUNTY GATHERS EXHIBIT Fruit. Grain and Grasses to Be Ex hibited at Seattle Fair. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Dec. 2S.

This unique collection of English walnuts, grown in Yamhill County, has just been placed on permanent exhibition in the rooms of the Commercial Cluh. and will tie taken to Seattle next Spring in time for the Alaska-Yukon-Paciflc Exposition. This exhibit was collected hy tho Walnut Club of this city, the Prince, the. Oak Hill and other smaller walnut orchards disposing of their choicest stock to the commit tee from the Walnut Club. An estimated marketable product of 20 tons of walnuts was produced in this county the past season. There are at least 2SC0 acres of walnut trees in the county, mostly of recent planting, and only a small per cent of bearing age. Of this acreage, about three-fifths is adjacent to McMinnville. the home of the only walnut club in the. state, composed of those persons who are engaged In walnut culture, and who have 110 land to sell and are not engaged In the real estate business. This organization has. by the expenditure of thir own funds for advertising, brought the walnut Industry of Tamhill County to the notice of the people of the East. It has also been no small factor in establishing a market for Oregon-grown walnuts. The growers of the 20 tons of walnuts in 1!0S did not have to seek a market: the market sought them, and a: a price 2 cents higher per pound than the walnuts from other sections of the country were selling for. SusRes-ts That State Co-operate With C'ilj' of Salem in Securing Sup ply From Pure .Moun tain Streams. SALEM. Or.. Pec. 28. (Special.') One of the urgent needs of the state, as shown by the biennial report of tho Superintendent of the State Insane Asy lum, made public today, is a supply of pure water for the state institutions. The water now used at the asylum and penitentiary, except for drinking and cooking purposes, comes from Mill Creek, a small stream notoriously un clean. It is only by the strictest reg ulations that the patients are prevented from using this water at times. At the prison it Is necessary to boil the water used for drinking at some pe riods of the year. Because of the needs of the state the Governor is co-operating with the city authorities in Salem with a view to devising a plan by which water may be secured from a mountain stream, probably the Breitenbush or the Santiam. In his message to the Legislature Governor Chamberlain will recommend such measures us may be deemed practical with this end in view. A committee representing the state and the city of Salem is now at work investigating sources of water supply and probable cost of construction of a water system, and it is expected that a full report will be ready by the first of January. Two plans are under con sideration one that of joint owner ship of the system by the city and tho state, each paying Its proportion ac cording to the number of consumers, and tiie other that the city shall build the plant and the" state nter into a contract to purchase its water supply from the city at a rate Justified by the cost of the system. In the pre liminary consideration of the matter it has been estimated that the cost of constructing a pipe line from the Cas cade Mountains would be about $4-30.-000. but further investigation may change this estimate very radically. If the state should pay in proportion to the number of its wards and employes who use water Its share would be about one-fifth or perhaps one-fourth of the whole. The source, of the water supply for the city and the state institutions Is the Willamette River. The intake pipe is buried under 30 feet of gravel, and during low water there is about loo feet of gravel between the river and the mouth of the intake pipe. It will thus be seen that the supply is just as pure as can be secured from the river. Both the city and the state, however, desire a supply of moun tain water, and for thi.s reason the plan of co-operative construction of a pipe line was proposed.

In This Way Hop Market Would Be Benefited by Larger Use of Hops. A. A. Morkley. of Sacramento, a Call fornla hopgrower, suicfrests as a measure of helplnK the hop market that the brewers be required by law to use more hops In their ber. He thinks the grower, of Oregon and the other hup-growlng states should get 10 Rfther and memorialize Congress to pass a law prohibiting the use of any kind of hop substitutes In the manufacture ofbeer. This has b'en done in Kngiand. Mr. Merklfv writes on this subject in the Sacramento tnton: I.ager ber Is nur National " beverage, be cause it is a wholesome and str?ngth-giving drink when composed of barley, malt and hom, and it is often prescribed by phy sicians for the Dhvsirailv weak and con valescent. But when that beer is clan destinely made from Ingredients other than malt and hops, when a substitute, a de kneiious drug. Is used In place of or mixd with the pure articles the result is an im pure and iiarmful liquid which ruins the lining of the stomach and diseases the kid neys. It Is known that certain bitters, chemicals and acids are used in the brewing of beer which lessen the amount of hops that should be used. Th?se chemicals fortify and pre serve the beer, permitting it to be kept a long time or shipped without loss, and from the breweryman's business standpoint and "everybody look for their own kidneys." the brewer may be justified, especially so as long as there are no laws to prevent it. b- I - -A'fclW1M'1B1l'LfirtlltnllV'' Z1- 1 Chesterfield Suits BLACK AND BLUE $14.25 $22.50 Suits ... $16.50 $25.00 Suits . . . $19.00 $30.00 Suits ... $23.SO $35.00 Suits . . . $26.50 $40.00 Suits . . . $29.50 $45.00 Suits . . . $34.50 $15.50 $18.50 $22.50 $25.50 $29.50 $34.50 $39.50 269-271 MORRISON STREET or if there are laws no pains are taken to enforce them. The brewer will tell you that hops are cheap enough, so whv should they use sub stitutes? The answer is that "too many bops in beer (that would naturally fortify in make it too bitter to drink." and so. bv a small quantity of hops and a quantity of the substitute and preservative a mil" bitter is produced, and gives to it its lasting qualities, and also its harmful qualities. If the brew.i-ryman would use at least one pound of hops and no substitute to a barrel of beer (as it is generally understood is required to make pure been the hop growers nf the United .States would not pro duce enough hops to supply them, accord ing to the revenue reports, and the beer would not be too bitter to drink, but would be very palatable. Again wo are told that "too many hops are grown." when we know that "too few hops are used." Statisticians figure that for the past three years 1 If the proper amount of hops were used, and no substitutes used I the difference between the amount of hops grown and the amount of barrels of beer brewed would show a shortage of ItiO.OuO bales of hops. Therefore substitutes equal to 160.000 bales of hops must have been used. Can you not see what the hop grower is up against, and t-an he continue growing heps (prices are now below cost of production) In the face of these facts? Not onlv the hop-growers but the whole people are fnteneated in this matter. Bven the prohibitionist can assist, for when he is unable to suppress the making of it he can sav. "If we must have beer m must have pure beer." To have pure beer we must see that rigid laws are passed, as they are todav in Bohemia, and ss they will be in England, and then sec that they are en forced against the u? of any substitute or preservative for malt and hops. Hop-growers of the Pacific Coast and New York State should get together im mediately' and send delegations to t ashlng ton D. "C. and urge their Senators and Congressmen to pass a pure-beer bill, and thev should be backed up by th- people of the United States, as it is a National Issue. Without such a law hop-growers had better go out of the bufiness altogether. If the hop-growers had organized a year ago as they started to do. Instead of being influenced by a lot of dealers who are hand-ln-hand with the brewers, they would be in a position today to fight just such matters as are above mentioned. JESSE W.

It i! a strange truth that pimples usually appear upon the face, thus Il lustrating that nature uses tiie most direct method of convincing man that the blood is filled with poison. The human circulatory system is said to be the most wonderful of all evi dences of nature. It carries health, food and strength to every part of the body. It also carries from every part of the body all germ life, waste mat ter and decav. If through poor eating. Indigestion, constipation, etc., the blood is filled with poisonous, decaying, irritating fluids, these poisons are carried to the lungs, where they are attempted to be cleansed by tho oxygen from air in haled. If this does not accomplish the re sults demanded the blood takes away the poison and carries it to the little cells of the skin, where they leave It. Here these uoicons irritate and decay, until at la.it they form pimples and blackheads and other skin eruptions: at last bursting or are removed by man. When you have pimples It is a cer tain sign your blood Is wrong, that the great human blood system is turneu into an inlricute series of sewerage canais wnicli are filled with impurities. Science long tgo learned that Calcium Sulphide was the most nowerful. harm lean and beneficial blood purifier ob tainable. Stuart's Calcium Wafers. under chemical tests. conclusively prove themselves to he one of tiie best meth ods of preserving the full strength of this great blood cleanser. The real beauty of Stuart's Calcium Wafers lies in their rapid work.
