GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATES. iy things are happening these days to incline one to the idea that there is a tendency to ward centralization of govern mental power in the United States. The latest movement in this direction is certainly inter esting, or will be for some, as it U a unique proposition. It is an investigation of the causes of so many divorces. Ju-t why the webs which Dan Cupid spent so many hours of labor and love to weave should have been cut and slashed so ruthlessly by various judges throjjhout the land is what the government proposes to find out. T.ie desire for this data is based upon the idea of more uniform divorce laws in the various states- In order that tha gov ernment may accomplish its pur pose cler'zs will visit every state in the union and copy the di vorce records of every court within said state. In fact, work has already been done under governmental orders in some of the eastern states, and a dozen or more are expect ed to arrive in Oregon sometime during the present month. iUuicnoman will be the first Oregon county to have her di vorce court records investigated and the investigation will cover a period of twenty years back. All features of the various suits for divorce, whether "justordi l.ary" or sensational in the ex treme, are to be published in the reports of the Department of Commerce and Labor. The in vestigation was started upon the recommendation of Presi dent Roosevelt in one of his mes sages to congress. We fancy that after the publi cation of these suits for divorce begins the reports of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor will be read regularly, early and late, and by all classes, even by intellectual people. It is safe to predict tha . the first few edicions will ran short but the depart ment will soon "get next." " Thousand Nights' Entertain ment!" Here is promised data which shall cause the glor es of th-s "Arabian Nights" to fade into insignificance. Whether in compatibility of temper, the use o i.itoxicating liquors or infideli ty shall prove the reason for the suit i'or divorce most frequently unearthed by the investigating committee remains to be seen. It will be interesting to learn whether men or women are the m:re frequent petitioners for escape from the yoke that binds. SAYS NEVER AGAIN. Villiam Randolph Hearst says he's had enough. If he sticks to this sentiment there will be a feeling of intens-3 relief exper ienced by the masses irrespec tive of political affiliations and echo will answer far and near, "Jood enough!" Willie is in command of scant respect at the hands of his fellows, even among those who know him best. in California, the state where he made his home for so many years, and where he has great properties, he is blessed with a large army of decriers. Willie is politically dead, but he died hard and non3 to soon. Had one counseled with his nostrils he wcild have declared- that pol- itical death has gathered the boy to his Fathers some time since. 0 January 3 Willie Randolph sang his swan sons, which reads as follows: "I myself am not and will not again be a candidate for any office, but I am aa muc i interested aa ever and even more interested than ever in the promotion Lagua. It -twin t me that e ran a feel aau'sfaction ni on what has been i is bei nji ac iomplicbed. And it seems me, as patriotic citizens, we need n care particularly hat individuals pa the principle and reform ioto effect long as they acta ally be accomplished fo the benefit of our fellow citizens. "I believe that the league will .' go for ward to farther aid batter achieve men ta and I heartily Cer yoa, my friends, ui beet services as a fellowworker to those ends." From the above we learn that the Independence League is to receive tha heritance of "good will," that the singer of the song of the dyin? swan is going to strain himself in assisting the League in placing its mystic mantle here and there indiscrim inately for the good of "our fel low citizens." Taking into con sideration that because Willie dragged the League about by the tail he finally forced it to nomi nate him for governor of New York, thus making it a party to his political death, it will be seen that there is in his latest state ments to the public much evi dence of forgiveness on his part. Rest in peace! OF THE LORD" TALKS Tells Court How She Receives Messages From on High. In Portland the wild ravings of the "Holy . Howlers" still go on, and the Juvenile Court he trd from the youngest convert of the faith a most remarkable story a few days ago, which is related in the Journal thus: Captain Bailey told the court how he had found the child a few days ago trembling from the ex citement of a religious frenzv, snapping her fingers as she held her hands high in the air and giving utterance to an unintelli gible jumfie of words that re minded him of the first babblings of babyhood. "Tell me what you were Ow ing and what this all means," said the judge as he took the lit tle girl by the hand. "Well I was receiving a mes sage from theLord," answered the child, ber big, dark eyes looking straight into the judge's. "And how do little girls like you receive messages from the Lord?" queried the court. "And what were all -these strange mut terings did you speak more than one language?" v Yes sir, I was speaking Chi nese, German, French and Portu guese," came the astounding answer with the studied accuracy and unwavering' expression of a student ot the catechism. Bven the judge was nonplus sed at the child's statement. He hesitated a moment before ask ing the next question: "Do you understand all of these lang uages?" "No sir," she replied, "but mama told me." - 1 The pretty little girl whore fice and features ladiated intelli gence, then told the court how she and her mother had left their home in Los Angeles in response to a call from the Lord to act as missionaries. "Did you set the Lord, too?" Frazer. "No," that call from asked Judge she answeied, 'but mamma did, and she alwajs takes me with her." The mother was ordered to keep the child away from the meetings, or the proper author ities will take the little one in charge. , Real Estate Transfers.

F -..veril years there hive been rumors afloat of strange sounds whose meaning has never been interpreted and whose origin has a-ver been found out. People who live in the neighborhood of Ritter aud occasionally people who live as far north as Lang Creek tell of a distant report like a clap of thunder which is heard every winter. It is heard at ir regular intervals through the day and ni?ht and not more frequent than once in twenty minutes. It sounds . to the people of Long Creek precinct as though it came from the neighborhood of tb j motion of Loug Creek and Mid dle fork and fio'm-'the neighbor hood of the Middle Fork it sounds as though it came from Three Miie at d from Three Mile it sounds as though it came from rieppnr. There is no explana tion offered for the mystery. Ex. A Most Valuable Agent. The glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce's medicines greatly enhances the medicinal properties which it extracts from native medicinal roots and holds in solution much better than alcohol would. It also possesses medicinal properties of its own, being a valuable demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic and antlfermont. It adds greatly to the efficacy of the Black Cherry bark, Bloodroot, oidch Seal root, Stone root and Queen's root, contained in "Golden Medical Discovery " in subduing chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial, throat and lung affections, for all of which these agents are recommended by stand ard medical authorities. In all cases where there is a wasting away of flesh, loss of appetite, with weak stomadh, as in the early stages of con sumption, there can be no doubt that gly cerineacts as a valuable nutritive ar.d aids she Golden Seal root. Stone root, Queer's root and Black Cherrybark ia promowng jiigestion and building up the llesh arit?lstrength, controlling the cough and bringing about a healthy condition of the wf.ile system.

IT is in the lingering hang-on coughs, or those of long standing, even when accompanied by bleeding from lungs, that it has performed its most marvelous cures. Prof. Finley Eilingwood, M. D., of Ben nett Med. College, Chicago, says of gly cerine: "In dyspepsia it sferves an excellent purpose. Holding a fixed quantity of the peroxide of hydrogen in solution, it is one of the best manufactured products of the present time ia its action upon enfeebled, disordered stom achs, especially if there is ulceration or ca tarrhal gastritis (catarrhal inflammation ot stomach), it is a most efficient preparat ion. Glycerine will relieve many cases of pyrosis (heartburn) and excessive gastric (stomach! acidity."

There is no doubt of the fVt tha a great horticultural awakening has begnn in the Willamette Valley. While the Bpecial wave of enthusiaim'wbich passed ov.r the vallev last winter seemed to subside with the coining of summer, it ie now evident that there has been aa actual growth of real interest in horticul tural matters throughout thj veir, de. clares the Agriculturist. The attendance of fruitgrowers at meeting? sj far held tois winter has been dnexoectetily large. The coming meeting of the Oregon State Hortiauituial Society will in all probabil ity be attended by a greater number of fruit growers thau have ever yet assem bled in the Pacific Northwest. The effect of the meeting will beto intensify interest in the subject of improving orchard methods, and increasing the production of high-grade fruits and uutB in Oregon, and no portion of the state will b bene fitted more than tha Willamette Valley.

The fact that many, people right in Corvallis cough and hawk and snuii'le for days and weeks after they have been treating a cold with the usual stomach dosing, shows how valueless are the ord inary cough and cold cares. The right way to cure a cold in the head, or a cough and irritation in the bronchial tubes, is by breathing Hyomei medicated air from the neat pocket in haler that comes with every outfit. Take a few breaths in this way, and immediate relief will be noted. The medication goes right to the spot where the disease germs are aud renders them harmless. Graham & Wells give an absolute guarantee with every Hyomei outfit tby se.l that il it does not give satisfaction the money will be refunded.
