This is probably the greatest advertising scheme ever promot ed and it is said by men who have spent practically millions in developement work, to be capa ble of securing better results than any campaign ever plan ned to aid the settlemnt and de velopment of any section. The shows will be known as "See America First" Exposition and will aim not to attract tour ists and induce them to travel through the seven northwest states, but by displays of pro ducts the expositions will also claim the attention of the home seeker and show them the op portunities and inducements of fered on western lands. The trip will last four months and start from Minneapolis in early December, following the Northwestern Products Exposi tion to be held in that city Nov ember 12 to 23. The states which will partici pate in these expositions will be the same as those represented in the exposition in Minneapolis, which are Minnesota, South Da kota, North Dakota, Montana, Id aho, Wasington, and Oregon.

WILLIAM !K!WA1 TAFF NO uncertainty attaches to the candidacy of the president for a renomlna tlon.

LOOKS LIKE A BIG SURPRISE IN STORE Sponsors of "Lonolyvlllo" Party Re fuse To Give Out Advanood Information The cast of characters publish ed last week in the Pioneer, are hard at work preparing for the presentation of the "Social Club of Lonely ville." Much question ing of those who are at the head of the enterprise as to who are the stars of the troupe brings forth a pleasant smile, with the curt remark that they are all stars. They fly to cover, how ever and hide. their heads when they are questioned asto who the laeding man is. That there is a man in prospect there can be no doubt, however they are keeping their plans and secrets well cover ed, and unless some one whispers before the show is presented, there going to be a big surprise sprung on this community. Friday, March 22 has been set for tho presentation, and this en tertainment will be up to te stan dard of all others which have been presented by tho. Dramatic Club. - . m.

Savage Makes Hit With Manufactures By Hla Cnovsr Verses Loren G. Savage, affectionally called "Rosey" by those who are fortunate enough to bask in the sunshine of his smile, has earned the title of "poet laure ate" of Northern Crook County. One evening while sitting on the front porch of his homestead cabin, cleansing his gun, and applying "3 in 1" oil to its me chanism, an idea floated through the "thought dome" of our mod ern hunter and hero. It was not a vision of the mighty hunters of old, nor even a passing whim of the man behind the gun, that the would like to go forth to war, in order that he might return and tell big tales of what he had seen and done. Butvit was a practical thought that dis turbed, the composure of his brain cells, an idea of what the world would come to if there were no such commodity at " 3 in 1" oil to "prevent rust on- the brain." 3 IN 1 OIL. Theres a great many places, Where 3 in 1 oil, Is a most useful article, . And a savior of toil. What ever vocation, In life you may choose, . . . Theres aways a place Where 3 in 1 is used. For it cleans and polishes, Lubricates just the same, And we actually believe, Twould prevent rust on the brain. Almost evrey merchant, Has a supply upon his shelf, 3 in 1 needs no salesman, It always- sells its self. No sooner had our hero satis fied himself that all he had said was true, than he determined to follow in the footsteps of John Wannamaker and other famous men before him, and commercial ize the activities ofjhis mental at tachments. He promptly mailed a copy of his lines to the com pany which manufactures the lubricant he had made memor able by verse, and in verifica tion of his expectations, and to his extreme delight, he shortly thereafter received a handsome ly engraved check, for a sub stantial sum of money, in pay ment for his version of the merits of "3 in l"oil. Thus is ex plained the smile that wont come off. Mr. Hardy Traveling Freight and Passenger Agent for the Oregon Trunk road was in Mad ras Thursday looking after the company business. Dan H. Wililams closed a deal this week for the Fred Davis harness shop, and takes posses sion immediately.

In stead of granting six months' leave of absence, the bill will pro vide, that the "settler or his family" shall reside upon the land at least seven months in each year, and before final proof is made wilT.require, that a habit able house shall be 'erected upon the land, as evidence, of inten tionto make it a home. No provision has yet been adopted requiring any specific amount of cultivation, this sub ject being open, but an amend ment has been agreed upon mak ing the bi appicabe to a pending unperfected homestead entries, so that, if it is passed, home steaders now striving to comply with the law may secure title after three years instead of five years residence. The amendments adopted will not meet the opposition raised by the Interior Department and. further protest from thatquarter is expected.
