PAGE BGBT. DAILY KA8T UHEOONIAM, PKNDLfiTON, OREGON. FRIDAY, APItIL IT, 1908. Lard Laden Stomachs "Necessity" is the mother of invention. Lard is the father of indigestion. More than half the indigestion in the country to-day is directly attributable to greasy, indigestible food prepared with lard. Coltolene is the original anti-lard product. It was the first, and it is the best. It is purer, more healthful, and will give better results than any other shortening medium. Just as the original is always better than the imitation, Cotto lene is superior to its imitators. Ask your grocer for Cottolent, and see that our trad .-mark, a steer's head in a cotton-plant wreath, appears on the pail. Cottolene is never sold in bulk; therefore, is a cleanly prod uct, absolutely protected from all the odors and dust to which lard is usually exposed in the ordinary grocery store. Nature's Gift from the Sunny South EUROPE NEEDS FOREIGN' PURCHASES HAVE DOCBLED IX 20 YEAIiS Annual Requirement of Wheat In Europe Is 475,000,000 Bushels United States and Canada Furnish ed 103.260,000 Bushels of This Amount All Prices Have Ad vanced. According to special reports to the bureau of statistics of the department of agriculture, Europe has increased its average purchases of foreign wheut during the last 20 years more than 100,000,000 bushels, or about 80 per cent and has doubled its annual purchases of corn. The annual requirement of wheat from foreign sources are now 190, 000,000 bushels a year more than they were 20 years ago, this mostly in northwestern Europe. For the year ending July 31. 1907, all Europe purchased 4 75.000,000 bushels of for eign wheat and flour (reduced to wheat) of which the United States and Canada furnished 193,264,000 bushels. To meet foreign buyers on a parity with other producing nations, the Bxain nrnducers. dealers and export ers of the United States, have now the ! same"futures" system as other con tinents. The practical workings of this sys tem was explained to a prominent member of congress from Illinois thus: A Glasgow miller buys 100, 000 bushels of wheat in San Fran cisco, say at $1 per bushel. To pro tect, or in popular phrase, "t hedge" his San Francisco purchase dtrlng the time the wheat Is In transit to the port of Glasgow, he sells the same quantity of wheat in the Chicago or other leading market at relatively the same price which he paid for the 100,000 bushels of wheat in San Francisco. If the market during his "in tran sit" period advances 10 cents per bushel, the San Francisco purchase price is all the while maintained as a basis upon which he can make his sale of flour in Glasgow therefore, I think the statement Is absolutely true "that he can sell the flour on the ba taf of the price at which he bought It in San Francisco. The fall In prices of articles im ported and the advance in prices of articles exported, which form a marked characteristic of the January price statement of the bureau of sta tistics of the department of com merce and labor, is equally apparent In the February figures of that bu reau, which have Just made their ap pearance. in nearly all of the Important ar ticles Imported for use In manufac turing prices show a marked decline in February, 1908, when compared with the corresponding month of the preceding year. COST OI ADVERTISING. Present Age Recognizes the Ad as tlie Great Trade Getter. New York, April 16 Advertise ments in the United States have a circulation of more than a quadril lion readers annually and the nation al bill for advertising, according to figures collected by Appleton's magazine, reaches the enormous sum of ICOO.000,000. The paper upon which these advertisements are print ed would .cover all the New England jtatee and part of New York, while TEA Good tea and tea are quite different, both grow on the same bush. our grocer nstafM your roonejr If you doo' Ike Stirling ' Lctl wc pay ..tu. MEM MM mm the ink used would make a lake large enough to float the fleet which is now In the Pacific. Newspapers alone, according to these statistics, receive nearly 1200, 000,000 annually for advertising, while monthly periodicals, whose de velopment is peculiarly American, print every year 30 times the equava lent of the contents of the bible and all the dramas of Shakespears com bined. The present year marks the fortieth anniversary of magazine advertising which Is much younger than newspa per advertising. It was in 1868 ac cording to the Appleton article that magazine advertising first received any serious attention, and even after that date editors for years strenuous ly objected to having space in what they held to be purely "literary pub lications" encroached upon by ad vertising. Today a magazine without advertising could hardly exit. The first magazine advertisement, it is recorded, appeared in a Philadel phia publication, and curiously enough was prepared particularly to reach women, the originator of the whole tremendous fabric as is exists today being inspired by one line of a jingle commenting on the proclivities of the fair sex fo 'the effect that they were the ones who spent the money. While a classification of all kinds of "ads" and their number would be a herculean task, it is certain that the want ads of the dally paper lead all others In its own peculiar field, the number of this latter day develop ment for reaching the purchasing public running far into the billions. In this fact and in the wonderful growtn of magazine advertising in the I fur decades Is found more than sufficient proof of the right of Am ericans to the title of the greatest ad vertisers on earth. CLEARING HOUSE AT YAK I. HA. First Day's Clearing Amounted to $35,000. The North Yakima clearing house opened Monday at 11:30, says the Yakima Republic. At that time the clearings of the associated banks were made, totaling the neat amount of $36.17.88. Tuesday is generally considered among the bankers to be the lightest day of the week, and the clearings of today are not up to what they will be as a rule. The bankers and all Interested are greatly pleased with the work accom plished thus far. At a meeting held recently H. C. Lucas of the Yakima Trust company was elected manager, George Donald of the Yakima Na tional bank Is president. W. L. Steinwig of the First National bank is vice-president and C. R. Heath of the Valley bank is secretary and treasurer. The association is com posed of the four banks above men tioned. Clearings Made Dally. Clearings will be made each day at 11:30. Merchants and all business men unite In declaring the clearing house system the best barometer of prosperity. Tlie fact that a clearing house Is established here and In oper ation will cause North Yakima to be classed with such cities as Spokane, Seatle, Tacoma and other money cen ters. Wherever there is a money center of any importance there Is al so a clearing house because the work is facilitated greatly. There Is nothing better thtn Kodol for dyspepsia, Indigestion, sour stom ach, belching of gas and nervous headache. It digests what you eat Sold by Tallman ft Co. lawyers Agree on Prices. The bar association tonight adopted a uniform schedule of prices to be charged In the Justice court,. In the district court and for appealed cases, says a Coeur d'Alene Item. Attorneys seen after the meeting refused to give out the figures decided upon, but It Is understood that the least charge of any case will be $2. Heretofore the charge for consultation alone has been from 60 cents to $5. All the at torneys are In the association. The lawyers also took up the matter of having fewer precincts, all agreeing that there are now too many. The date of the banquet to county attor neys, the district Judge and visitors was set for April 26. Babes Bait "Wot do ye think," said the sailor, "of usln' live babies for bait?

Of course," the sailor wcut on, "the thing ain't as cruel as it sounds. No harm ever comes to the bnbles, or else, o course, their mothers wouldn't rent 'em.

' "Just placed a little bet among the boys In the office, you know," he add ed "Put in 11.50 and won $40 in a trifling pool." "Well, that's a good beginning, any how," said the veteran. "You'll grow np after awhile. What did you do with the 40 put It on the races or open wine?" "Bought a ton of coal and a set of false teeth for my wife," was the re ply.

If you die, which would you rather be buried or stuff ed? 'Cause If you're burled we can't see you no more, but If you're stuffed we can set you In the parlor." Grandma Immediately began to mend. London Scraps. Matter of Fact. A visitor from London found In a cafe at Rotterdam a Dutchman who had been about a bit and who spoko English perfectly well. This Dutchman was smoking a china pipe of remarkable size and beauty, and the Londoner, an admirer and col lector of such bric-a-brac, took the lib erty to comment upon It. "You could not stumble upou a pipe like that every day," said the English man. The Dutchman took three or four whin's nt the pipe and then slowly re moved It from his mouth. "Certainly not without breaking It," he sold, gravely. London Chronicle. Soft and Light. A lady famed for her skill In cook ing was entertaining a number of her friends at tea.

The following remarkable statement was recently made by L. T. Cooper. It concerns the preparation which has been so widely discussed throughout the country during the past year, and has sold In such enormous quantities in leading cities: "It Is now a well-known fact that wherever I have Introduced my New Discovery medicine, hundreds of peo ple have brought internal parasites, or tapeworms, to me. In many cases these people did not know the nature of the parasite, and were consequently extremely nervous until I explained the matter to them. In some cities so many have had this experience that the public generally became t.larmed. "I take this opportunity of explain ing what these creatures ore, and what I have learned about them In the past. "tapeworms -re much more com mon than would bo supposed.

OREGON IF LOSE W. H. Odell of Salem, former clerk of the state land board writes the fol lowing timely communication to the Salem Statesman concerning a serious loss which the state of Oregon may sustain through misunderstanding of Klamath Indian land Withdrawals, Mr. Odell .says: Under date of January 30, 1908, I forwarded to Congressman Hawley a draft for a concurrent resolution, the purpose of which was to protect the state's claim to the owamp lands sit uated within the boundaries of the Klamath Indian reservation. I also briefly stated the facts rela tive thereto, In substance as follows: By the act of March 12. I860, con gress granted to the state of Oregon all the swamp and overflowed lands within the state not heretofore dis posed of; by the terms of the grant title was conveyed by a brnnt In pre senti, and It only remained for the administrative officers of the govern ment to specifically segregate such' lands and Issue patents therefor to the state. On Ocober 14, 1864, the superin tendent of Indian affairs for Oregon entered Into a treaty with tho Klam ath, and a few minor tribes of In dians, esabllshing what Is known as the Klamath Indian reservation, within the boundaries of which there was a very considerable body of swamp and overflowed lands properly inuring to the state of Oregon by the grant of March 12, 1860, more than four years prior to the establishment of the reserve. During my term as clerk of the state land board, after seeing a pub lished notice that the Interior de partment contemplated making al lotments to the Indians in severalty upon said reserva'tlon. I addressed a letter to the honorable secretary of Indian affairs protesting against the allotment of any lands upon said n. ervatlon insuring to the state of Ore gon under the grant of March 12. Presented State's Claim. In 1900 the commissioner of In dian affairs called upon the governot of Oregon for a list of the land claim ed by the state, with the proof of the swampy character. A, list was made and duly verified and he proof sub mitted embracing about 100.000 acres, There has been no questioning of the quantity or character of the lands as claimed by the state, but the sec retary of the Interior rejected the state's claim on the ground of the prior right In the Indians. An appeal was taken to the supreme court, but was rejected on demurrer based upon the ground, "That the case Is not a proper one for Injunc tion because the legal title to the lands sllll In the United States and subject to the control of the interior department." State' Loss Muy bc'GrrtW. The decision of the supreme court was not upon the merits of tho state's claim, but was ruled out on technical grounds upon demurrer. It Is evi dently the Intention of the Interior department to make allotments to In dians of the choice portions of these lands, and utterly Ignore the state's COLUMBIA BAR. 632 Main St. Fine Wines and Liquors.

"Contrary to general belief, the ap petite Is not greatly Increased It only becomes irregular. There is a general feeling of falntness, however, and a gnawing sensation In the pit of the stomach. "People afflicted with one of these parasites are nervous and depressed. Their chief sensation is one of lan guor, and they tire very easily. Lack of energy and ambition affect the body, and the mind becomes dull and slug gish. The memory becomes not so good, and the eyesight Is ganerally poorer. "The New Discovery, In freeing stom ach and bowels of all Impurities, seema to be fatal to these great worms, and almost Immediately expels them from the system. I wish to assure anyone who has the exierience juBt related with my preparation, that there is no cause for alarm In the matter, and that it will as a rule mean a speedy restoration to good health."

RICH II 10 claim, while It Is In evidence that a wagon road company whose title to lands upon the reservation Is based upon grant made more than four years subsequent to the act of March 12, 1860, hat been confirmed by the courts and the company permitted to take their lands, to the great benefit of the company; yet the state's claim is being lost by inaction: Involving a minimum loss of $100,000, and. by proper management, of a possible 16000,000 to the common school fund. These facts have been furnished Congressman Hawley and Senators Fulton and llourne. but so far no ac tion is reported.

Hank clearings made this morning at 11:30 show a gain of $16,161.65 over the .showing of yesterday, the first day the house was in operation In North Yakima, says the Yakima Republic. When the clearings were ascertained yesterday they totaled $35,817.88. Today the clearings are $51,979.53. And this Is between hay lime and harvest, the dullest time of the year. If these figures can be taken as a'crlterlon North Yakima banks are now doing a business of about a quarter of a million dollars per week. When the fruit and berry season Is at hand the clearings of North Yaki ma's associated banks will. In all probability, amount to nearly $100, 000 per day. This ranks North Yak ima with some of the largest cities of the state. Notice to Public.
