Advertising Rates on Application. JULY JO. 1903. " Hood River, Oregon, received more premiums for fruit at the Buffalo Ex position than any one fruitiregion in the world. P The region drainedjby the Columbia river, because of its climate. itsHfeeo graphical situation and its general to pography, is capable of maintaining a greater ? manufacturing J population than any like territory on the West ern Continent. Statistics show thatjthe floods in this country from the Johnstown dis aster to date have claimed 23.69S victims accepting the minimum es timates as to the number J lost. The thousands lost and unaccounted-for are not included in these figures. There is talk among the members ofjthe Chamber of Commerce, Board ofTrade and other good citizensof Portland of reorganizing the Law and Order League whichexistedthere four years ago. It seems that some such action is necessary as Portland is having high carnival with high waymen, foot-pads and thugs of all kinds, and is afflicted with a kid gloved police force all of whom have gone stone blind. Max Whittlesey, a land clerk at Lakeview, has been removed from his position. Among other things Whit tlesey is charged with furnishing speculators and others, copies of township plats and other records pre pared by him during office hours, for which he received compensation, which he diverted to his own use. He made an agreement to prepare" pa pers for men to assist them in locat ing timber and homestead claims, which agreement was carried into effect, he again receiving compensa tion, which was diverted to his own use. They've jnade a wireless telegraph, .a horseless carriage, too, and theie's nOftelling what the mind of man can do. We'll soon be eating henlessl eggs, and drinking cowless milk, and wearing clothes of sheepless wool, or mayhap3 wormless silk. How would you like a treeless peach, or a piece of hogless pork? Td be content if they would invent a kind of workless work. They'll yet make wireless tel ephones, or maybe, noiseless noise, and Tm afraid if they keep on they'll yet make dadless boys. Seattle Com monwealth. Numberless cases of the latter are now on record. A Cheap Paint. An old, weather-stained,nnpainted building Bometimes looks well in a pict ure, but in reality it's an eyesore that no eood farmer likes to have on his place. Good paint is a good investment, for it prolongs the life of the building as well as adding infinitely to its appearance. A cheap paint, suitable for farm build ings and fences, is made from skim milk. Hhydraulic cement is placed in a bucket and sweet skim milk is grad ually added, stirring constantly, until the mixture is of about the consistency of good cream. The stirring must be thoroughly done in order that the mixture may flow readily from the brush but if too thin it will run when applied to the building and look streaked. The proportions should be based upon about a gallon of the milk, as this will make a a convenient quantity to mix when one person is to apply it. If too much is prepared, the cement will set and har den before it is used. To this quantity of milk add about a quart of the cement. Probably a little more than this will be required, the operator using judgement to have it thin enough to flow from the brush and yet not thin enough to run after it has been applied. A flat brush about 4 inches wide is a good implement with which to lay the paint on. It is to be used just as oil paint is used and can be applied to woodwork, old or new, and to brick or stone. When dry the color is light creamy brown, or might be called a yellowish stone color The operator can try it first upon an out-house or fence to see how it pleases him and to learn in an experimental way how to prepare and apply it. Display at the Board of Trade. At the board of trade rooms in this city is one of the most attractive dis plays of grasses ever gathered together in Southern Oregon. Every portion of the county is represented and the col lection of grasses is due to the efforts of Hon. D. S. K. Buick and the local clerk, W. W. Cardwell. An elegant collection of grasses grown by Thos. Hinkle are on exhibition consisting of Lincoln grass, Orchard grass, Italian Rye grass, Wild Red Top Meadow Bunch grass, English Blue grass, Velvet grass and Wild Millet. H. J. Wilton, of Can yonville, has a display of Wild Pea grass, Oats and Timothy. W. W. Card well has Velvet grass and Alfalfa, Mr. Cjx, of Myrtle Creek, has some fine Meequite grass and Cheat. A tine dis play of Timothy occupies a prominent place in the front part ot the rooms grown by the following well known farmers: Mr. Shrum, H. J. Wilson, J. R. Campbell, Geo. Jones and Mr. Schrenk. Besides this are displays of Vetch by D. C. McWilliams. Velvet grass by Geo. Jones and Alfalfa by C. Powell. Last but by no means least must be mentioned the di -play of wheat that is a credit to any farming communitv. The wheat col lect on is composed of all the various kinds, and is grown by J. J. Chadwick, Cleland Weaver, C. Bateman. Jake Chadwick, J. L. Clough and Mr. Hughes. Now that the men have shown what they can do in raising all the various kinds of grasses, the Board of Trade wishes to ask the women to kind ly show their ability by remembering the Board of Trade with a bottle or so of canned fruit. Now ladies show that yon can excel your husbands by bring ing a good specimen of your culinary skill to. the Board of Trade and you will have the thanks of the whole communitv. Teachers Examination.

Turner of the Willamette Vally League has decided that one game between Eugene and Albany where the umpire changed his decision will have to be played over again and thus Roseburg and Eugene are a tie for Eecond place. Eugene and Roseburg each have too postponed games to play while Salem and Albany each have one. If eithtr Eugene or Roseburg win every game they play they will win the pennent. Manager Josephson of the Roseburg team says that in Saturday and Sunday's games, the whole team played gilt edge , base ball and especially the outfield. 1 Not a ball was knocked into the outfield that was not pulled down. Griffin had I four chances and got them all. Robin I son had three and got them and made ; the most sensational catch of the day. A ball was knocked away over his head and Robbie made a brilliant run back and leaped high into the air and then fell, rolling over two or three times but still clinging to the ball. Engle who was in right garden also caught the only fly that came his way.
