While this immediate district t .loes not have the advantage of Irrigation possessed by the iBend and Redmond districts to ,th.e south of us,, it possesses many other advantages of soil and climate which should make it equally as attractive to the , liomeseeker: and et, so little is , this section advertised that hun dreds nf 6eltlers are passing through without even a look, .attracted to otljer sections, no more, favored, but with who.-e attractions the' have been made familiar through the gieat mass of descriptive literature "and advertising matter sent out .by the big irrigation companies operating in that locality. This .kind of, literature has been dis tributed throughout the East and Middle West, and, it finds ,its way into the hands of the colonist again upon his arrival at Portland. He simply cannot get away from it, and the result is that he knows some section. of Oregon better than he knows his native county. .Advertising pays, , and in nothing more than in the settle .ment by colonization . of a county or district.

Thaw is said to have been greatly dis- ippointed at the failuie of the jury to arrive at a verdict, as Iih confidently vex peeted acquittal. This trial has oeeu the most famous niurdei trial ever held in the United States, as well as one of the most expensive. The expenses of the trial are said to have been more than $300 000. mm Campbell Talks On Farmim Says the Right Method Has Been Discovered for Successful Jfg Farming, But That It Must Be Thoroughly Understood 8 DOUBTS STORY OF DEATH , The Sunday's Oregonian says of the reported accidental kill ing of Homer Street on the Ma toles, several weeks ago: "Rev." H. M.-Street, the for mer minister, who created a stir three years ago by stump ing the state in opposition to .the local, option law, has been reported as killed by a. dyna mite explosion in Crook county but the company in which he held a 4000 insuiance policy . wants some evidence of his death. It seems that' his horse was -killed by the explosion and the theory was that coyotes had dragged some sticks of dyna mite into the road from under i log where it had been con cealed, that the horse stepped .on it, and that - both horse and rider were killed. Man)' frag ments of the horse have been , found, but not a trace of the . man. So long as there is no evidence of the death of the man, the insurance company feels that there Ad .a possibility that he threw a stick -of dynamite at the horse and is in hiding some place awaiting the collection of theinuitranoe. Street is the man who gavis thu newspapers a ,story about a year ago to the odbcl that lie was held. up by . thieji armed men, presumably anti-saloon people, and when Koue of them came at him with a knife he knock d the villain One of the amusing incidents in connection with the appoint. tueiit to till t!ie vacancies in the and office at The Dalleo was the meeting of the 'faithful" last month, called together by Senator Fulton for the purpose of selecting the appointees for these vacancies. The "faith fin" met in solemn conclave, and after much deliberation, it was announced that Sharp of The Dalles and Butler of Wheeler county had been selected to fill the vacancies, and it was glee fully heralded by the anii Moody papers, in this district that Sharp and Butler had been chosen because of their "unalter able hostility to the Moody fac lion of the republican party in the district. It was naturally presumed that that settled the matter, when, Jo and behold, the appointments are an nounced, and the names of iSharp and Butler are conspic uous by their absence. That solemn conclave held by the "faithful" was evidently '"Love's labor lost". The President evidently requires some other qualification in his Oregon ap pointments than hostility, to Mr. Moody. CURE FOR RATTLESNAKEITE . The following simpleAremedy, wliich'cun'bpproci'ired in any drug stoi'e, is given by Belle M. Williams, of Gra.elle, California, as a cure for the bite of a rattle snake, in the April number of the National Magazine: "Sal ammoniac moistened and rub bed on is an immediate cure. It is well to carry a piece of sal ammoniac in the -pocket, where there is a liability of meeting one of the reptiles."
