beautiful home of Mr. Sherar would be
an ornament to any city, but a more pic-
tureEque spot could not be 'ound for its
location. An elegantly fnrnished modern
home, it attracts special attention
situated as it is in the midst of the moBt
rugged scenery of Eastern Oregon.
Among other modern conveniences
Mr. Shearer has one invention of his
own which is unique. This, is an in
exhaustible snpply of pure ice-water.
The water is conducted from the bills
by pipes, and down into the basement,
where, inside of a solid stone vault, it
flows through twelve pipes. Upon these
pipes is plaeed a massive cake of ice,
5x7 feet equare, and around the whole
thing is packed sawdust to preserve the
ice. So, instead of the nsual two faucets,
there will be fjund here three, the third
being for ice water. Antelope Herald.

OREGON'S PRUNES.
What a Member of the State Board
of
Horticulture Says:
In one chapter of the horticulture
board's report, which will soon be pub
lished, Mr. Dosch expressee himself in
the following terms on production and
over-production of prunes :
"The soils and climate of Oregon are
peculiarly adapted to prune culture, and
the tendency would be to plant largely
to prunes. While I am not a believer
in over-production of good marketable
prunes, yet it behooves us to look some
what into the future.
"It is claimed that the Pacific coast
now produces fully as many prunes as
are consumed in the United States, and
with the growing orchards coming into
bearing, we will over-produce, to over
come which we must reach out for new
fields. Already our prunes have found a
spmpatbetic market in England at fair
prices; in Germany they have found
friends at one mark (24 cents) per pound
asd even created a demand in France,
the very home of the Fetite d'Agen, to
such an extent that the growers have
petitioned their government for a duty
on imported prunes. Thus another and
unlimited market is opened for the wide
awake fruit growers, showing that ia-
telligent endeavor, honest packing,
brains and the application of business
principles, which hereafter must be
adopted in order to be successful in
horticultural pursuits, has its own re
ward. And again, our new acquisitions
in the Orient, as well as Japan, offer a
new and almost unlimited field for our
evaporated fruits. It seems to me that
the over-prod action of a good, market
able fruit is a tnvth." - . '

A tew years ago I was taken with Inflamma

several prominent physi

I suffered agony. I tried:
many patent medicines
but none relieved me.

HIS MIND WAS RELIEVED.
"Ob, My! Oh, My! I Wasn't Scared
I Was Jnat Hit," Said the
Glau Soldier.
A surgeon relates that before Santi
ago, he (the surgeon), going to the
front, came upon a young officer, sit
ting beside the road, trembling like a.
leaf, and whiter than the deed mei
iround him. At sight cf the surgeon
he began to talk, says the San F ran
:;isco Argonaut.
"I'm a coward, I'm a coward, I'm a
;oward," he said; "I knew I'd run, and
did. I'm disgraced forever. I was
joing along all right, not thinking of
anything but getting at the. dashed
Spaniards, yelling to my men to come
3n, and running ahead as fast as I
sould, when all of a sudden I stubbed
my toe, or something, and- then I can't
remember being scared, but I must
iave been, for I came galloping back
aere, sick as a dog. I'm a coward, and
I wish I were dead! Why don't some
body shoot me? I've got such an awful
goneness right here," and he put his
hand to his stomach.
The surgeon gave him a quick look
ind caught him as he plunged forward
n a faint. Where the awful gone

billet. They carried the wounded man .
to the field hospital, and he chuckled

augh delightedly: "I wasn't scared.
