TEE EXCELLENCE OF SYBUP OF HQS
is due not only to the originality and
eimplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig SyRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing1 the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig" Sybup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pal
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fio 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
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

AN EVENING OF HARMONY-
The A. L. F
S. Concert Delights Every
one Present.
An evening of perfect harmony is what
last evening may well be termed, by
those who were fortunate enough to be
present at the A. L. P. S. concert, for
daring over two hours spent with these
vocaliBts, not a discordant note was
heard, nor was there a break in the
smoothness of the entertainment from
the instrumental duet, bo well executed
by the Misses Kickelaen, to the beautiful
clobiug quartet, "Until trie Dawn."
Each of the gentlemen composing the
quartet have splendid voices peculiar to
tbemeelvee, yet harmonizing so com
pletely that the melody is sublime.
That of Mr. M. L. Akera, the first tenor,
is remarkable for its high register,
which is a rarity, aud the lasting quality,
displayed bo admirably last night. Prof.
Lundell is at his best when depth and
richness is required, and the ease with
which he sings is gratifying1 to an audi
ence. Messrs. Poling and Steele each
possesses those clear, pleasing voices
which never fail to delight an audience
because, not only do they catch every
. note in its fullness, but every word
ottered is given the pioper expression.
. 5?he quartet were particularly happy
.--in' their selections, which could not
. have been more pleasing, varying from
the sentimental to the lighter vein.
' The only criticism which we might offer
'? is in regard to the beautiful sentiment
-expressed in that referring to Mrs.
Wialow's soothing eyrnp, and that from
& 'selfish point of view, deeming it detri
mental to newspaper advertising, al
though eoothing to the audience.
The rare musical ability displayed by
the A. L. P. S. band took the audience
by surprise. It would be difficult to
find their equal, and strange does it
seem that Prof. Steele's talents are
permitted to be expended in such small
cities.
An instrumental piece by the Har
wood Quintet, composed of Messrs. H.
D. and I. Parkins and J. Bees, and
Mrs. Kees and Miss Vulesca Lie be. w as
eo pleasing that an encore was demand
ed and responded to.
In speakins of the singing of Mrs
B. S. Huntington, words always seem
. inadequate to expie.'B the sweetness ol
her voice, which can only be compared
to that of a bird. Dalles people never
grow weary of hearing her, and her
selection last night was one which could
not fail to please them, being perfectly
adapted to her style.
More than half of the success of
concert is due to the accompanist, and
tnerelore we cannot retrain Irom men
tioning the perfectnesa of the manner in
which Miss Schmidt assisted the soloists
Indeed, each performer is entitied to
a large share ot credit for the success c
the entertainment, and Prof. Lundell
especially, upon whom much of the ar
rangement depended.
A LIGHT ATTENDANCE.
TChereare the farmers? A Fine

rape
1 The -farmers' institute is here, bu
where are the farmers? Such was th
query when upon entering the court
room row after row of benhes werec
found to be empty. It must be that our
farmers do not realize what they are
missing as well as those who attend, if
but for a short time. It would teem as
if this opportunity afforded them by the
Oregon Agricultural Oollege, assisted by
R. C. Jndeon, of the O. R. & N., would
be grasped immediately; but such'is not
the case, and the energies expended by
these eplendid speakers benefit but the
few.
This morning, after Rev. Poling opened
the meeting with prayer, Mayor Nolan
gave our visitors such a welcome in be
half of the city as most certainly have
made them feel pertectly at home. ' He
seemed anxioua to welcome such men to
our city; as did also Dr. G. E. Sanders,
who spoke in behalf of the truit growers
of our section. The latter spoke of his
regret at the apparent lack of interest
in the meeting, saying that the visit of
such scientific men" should be appreci
ated and the amount of benefit to be
derived considered.
The only paper given this morning
was that of Prof. E. R. Lake, of the
Agricultural College, but this was worth
a trip to the city to hear. His remarks
were on "The Coming Horticultural
Problem," showing that we must give
heed to the science of farming, etc.. be
fore the best results will be obtained.
He spoke particularly on packing and
shipping fruit, saying it was not so
much in transportation, nor with the
middle men, as In the attention given
to packing. Much of our fruit is sold
from its appearance, therefore heed must
be given to preparing it, as much com
plaint comes from Eastern markets in
regard to the manner in which Oregon
fruit is packed. He also eaid that it is
not so much the quantity we raise, but
the quality which gives us our enviable
reputation as a fruit state.
In conclusion he mentioned the
amount of our product which goes to
waste yearly, recommending that all
this so-called leakage be manufactured
into vinegar, marmalades, jellies, etc.
Instead of UBing all these jellies shipped
from the East, let us utilize our own
surplus in this line. Then, too, much
can be converted into candies, Mrs.
Montietb, of Albany, now has a secret
process by which she makes some de
licious crystalized fruit, far ahead of
other candiea.
Before closing, Prof. Lake then in
vited all present to an institute and
fruit exhibition to be held at Corvallis
n the near future, which invitation
would be accepted did all realize the
amount of information and pleasure to
be derived from a visit to the college.
A discussion of the subject was then
given by ii. bchanno, Mr. Walters,
Prof. Shaw and G. E. Sanders, after
which a motion to adjourn was carried

epidemic of La Grippe a few years ago
when so many cases resulted in pneu

THE ROUGH RIDERS.
Col. Rooievrlt Describe the Char,
xlcter anil Kind of Men He
Commanded.
Then I went down to San Anton
myself, where I found the men from
New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma al
ready gathered, while those from In
dian territory came in soon after my
arrival.
These were the men who made up the
bulk of the regiment, and give it its
peculiar character. They came from
the four territories which 'yet remain
within the boundaries of the United
States; that is, from the lands that have
been most recently won over to white
civilization, and in which the condi
tions of life are nearest those that ob
tained on the frontier when there still
was a frontier. They were a splendid
set of men, these southwesterners tall
and sinewy, with resolute, weather
beaten faces, and eyes that looked -a
man straight in the face without flinch
ing. They included in their ranks men
of every occupation; but the three
types were those of the cowboy, the
hunter and the mining prospector the
man who wandered hither and thither,
killing game for a living, and spend
ing his life in the quest for metal
wealth.
In all the world there could be no
better material for soldiers than that
afforded by these grim hunters of the
mountains, these wild rough riders of
the plains. They were accustomed to
handling wild and savage horses; they
were accustomed to following the
chase with the rifle, both for sport and
as a means of livelihood. Varied
though their occupations had been, al
most all had, at one time or another,
herded cattle and hunted big game.
They were hardened to life in the open,
and to shifting for themselves under
adverse circumstances. They were
used, for all their lawless freedom, to
the rough discipline of the round-up
and the mining company. Some of
them came from the small frontier
towns; but most were from the wilder
ness, having left their lonely hunters'
cabins and shutmg cow-camps to seek
new and more stirring adventures be
yond the sea. Col. Theodore Boose,
velt, in Scribner's.
