cm j mm .t 5,1 . .1 THE EXCELLENCE CF SYfiUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fis Svrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the Califoknia Fig Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist on a in avoiding- the worthless imitations manufactured by other pa ties. The hig-h standing of the Cali fornia Fra Sykup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which, the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate. In order to get its beneficial ffects, please remember the name of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. SAN FRANCISCO. Cat. X.OUISYII.I.E. Kr. NEW YOKE. IT. Y. WEATHER AND CROPS. TUti Cool Chance Very Profitable to tle Crops In Kaatem Oregon Con tinued Cool Weather. Much cooler weather has prevailed during the past week. The mean tem perature for the week averaged 60, which is 14 lower than for the preceeding week and 13 degrees lower than for the corresponding week of laat year. In the Columbia river valley the maximum temperature averaged 85, the highest being 92 and the lowest 82. Over the Plateau region the maximum tempera ture averaged 80, the highest being 85 and the lowe9t 70. The maximum tem perature ranged from 48 to 66, Occa sional sprinkles of rain fell, amounting to from a trace to .14 of an inch. The change in the temperature was most beneficial to both annimal and vegetable life. Harvesting and thresh ing, which were slightly suspended dur ing the heated period, have been re '8am'?d with increased activity, and to day finds the work further advanced than is usual at this season of the year. .-.Harvesting operations will continue for the next six weeks, though by the mid- die of September the balk of the grain will be secured. jTt reports continue to be good con xcrning the quantity and quality of the sgrain. The grain has commenced to .uKve to tidewater. Owing to the rains oT the fore part of September, 1897, suit able provisions have been made at any of the shipping; points and on ranches for the protection of the eacked grain. The warm weather ripened all the 8pring-sown grain in places too rapidly and the result is, it is somewhat shriveled. Tue grain crop, as a whole, is thoroughly satisfactory. The second cutting of alfalfa is about finished, and the reports from the stock country indicate a full supply of hay for winter use. The fruit crop is in excellent condi tion. Heavy shipments of peaches con' tinua; the weather has been very favor able for the proper maturing of peaches. Prunes are coloring. Bartlett pears con tinue to be'shipped. The crop of water melons is very large. The week closed with no adverse con ditions to report, but, on the other hand everything points to tue successful con clusion of a large crop year. POINTS OF SUPERIORITY TTlie Vive Hag all the Advantage of Ev ery Other Camera and In Many Ways Superior to Any. Ko other camera so simple and sure, or eo quickly operated. No other camera of the price takes each large pictures, or carries eo many exposures at one loading as the $5.00 Vive. No other camera will allow of either using or cot using holders at the will of the operator. No other so inexpensively or readily enables one to use either glass plates or eut films, and in such numbers. No other will hold glass plates and cut films so that both can be used at the eame time. No other camera includes, free, a full complement of universal metal combi nation holders. No other camera has euch simple, light and universal holders, or those which also hold any eize of glass plates or cut films nnder the fall size ad vertised for the respective sizes and etyleB of Vive cameras. No other camera is eo small and com pact for the size of pictures taken. No other is so easy to understand and operate. The magazine of the Vive camera holds so many S. K. V. backed glass plates or cut films that daylight leading is unnecessary ; quickly enabling the operator to carry in the camera and make from one to over one hundred ex posures at one loading. Avoid buying a camera where the re quired additional glass plate holders alone, almost doable the advertised price, and then not be able to carry them in the camera. We guarantee every Vive camera to do and be all that we claim in our cata logue, and to take pictures fully equal to illustrations ehown therein. We also emphatically guarantee every sample picture we advertise, to be taken with the Vive, as stated. Vivk Camera Company. For sale bv Clarke & Falk. Free Plus Send your address to H. E.
