Doomed for the reason that there is no money in it other things pay better. Diversified farming, stock and dairying are the things to pin your faith to and let wheat raising go to the "bow bows." Too often men are induced to come here from other sections with the idea that they are going to make their everlasting fortune by raising wheat. This is a mistake and leads to discouragement on the part of the new-comer. We want every one coming to our section to be satisfied with conditions as he find.; them. A dissatisfied and unhappy man is rarely a good advertisement for any commun ity, while a happy and contented individual is. The man who comes to the Willamette Valley expecting to engage in diversified farming, or stock raising, or dairying, will not be disappoint ed and will find conditions favor able in every way. He will be a happy man and helpful in many ways to the community in which he takes up his abode. Not long ago a gentleman came to the valley and purchased a farm. He is a wide-awake business man and what he thinks of conditions here, while not in the least flattering to the raiser of the "staff of life," may be read by some with profit. In a letter to L. L. Brooks this gentle man says: "I tell yon it is np hill work to get an entering wedge where there are eo many de.l men ; for you must know that there arn mere walking cadavers to the square miie hereabouts than anywhere else on tJou's footstool that I know anything about. All tliev seem to know, or care, is to raise wheat by day and illume the landscape by night with burniDg staw ptacka. Cut out the miserable, mixed up.Jerses and an occasional imported siullion and there isn't a drop Of pure blood, or scarcely an acre of tame grass es, in the whole God forsaken bailiwick. It's a fact, by Jove !" Suffice it to say that while this man's opinions are evident ly strong, the probabilities are that he, like many others, has been essaying the laying of the foundation of fortune by the wheat-raising process. Further more, the man is evidently dis couraged and it is possible that he has drawn too heavily against conditions. Bear in mind, also, that he does not reside in our vicinity, nor even in our county. Weigh well what he says just the same. North Bend Gets It. The distillery where potatoes will be made into denatured al cohol, in the Coos Bay country, will probably be located at North Bend. This will mean much to the section i n which the plant is to be established and will un doubtedly start the wheels of progress as they have not been started in yeais. Dr. Withycombe or this city visited the Coos Bay country re cently in company with S. T. Cover of the Ametican Alcohol Company of New York, and at the farmers' institutes held, the system of conducting such plants was explained to the farmers. It was shown that if 75,000 tons of potatoes were promised to the company it would at once prepare to begin operations. The distillery could easily handle twice the quantity named, but was willing to start on a small scale. Contracts were entered into with a number of farmers on a basis of $8 per ton tor three years, the distillery to take pota toes of all sizes. It is estimated that at this price farmers will re ceive nearly $100 per acre ftr their product. ' It was explained by the pro moters of the , "enterprise that when the distillery was running at its full capacity it would re quire 87 tons of coal per day for ten months in the year to convert the tubers into alcohol, and this would prove a great stimulus to coal mining. Furthermore, a number of by-products would be manufactured that would greatly increase the payroll. ., Brought Him Home. R. K. Hunziker, residing near the C. & E. depot, is in a very serious condition, with doubts en tertained as to his recovery. Last July Mr. Hunziker was working with a team hitched to a wagon, and in some manner one of the horses became unmanage able and threw the driver against the barn with great force. When Mr. Hunziker regained conscious ness he found that while uncon scious he had tied one of the horses to the fence and was then engaged in an 'attempt to tie the other. From the day of the accident Hunziker suffered with violent headaches and a week ago he lapsed into a semi-conscious con dition and then into unconscious ness, and Monday, upon advice of Dr. Cathey, he was taken to Portland bv Dr. Cathey and Adolph Leader; and two special ists at Good Samaritan hospital examined the case thoroughly. They finally decided that nothing could be done, and Tuesday Mr. Hunziker, Mr. Leader and Dr. Cathey returned home, the trip having effected no change in the patient. The patient is 53 years of age and is the stepfather of Adolph Leder. With his wife he resides near the Leder home in the southwestern part of town. Type Phounders' Phault.

It is no joque to us it's a serious aphphair.-Ex. Good Minstrels Coming. The coming of Beach & Bow er's Minstrels is heralded with pleasure. It is now the oldest minstrel company on the road under one continuous manage ment, and we are iortunate in getting a performance from them. This season it is all new, original and funny. The singing is as perfect as is heard in the very best of opera companies. The specialties cannot be beaten, and are decidedly laughable and in tensely interesting. The mins trel boys are young, active and up-to-date, and seem untiring in their efforts to please, and they at rouse the spectators to the high est pitch of enthusiasm. They will be seen at the opera house oa Thursday, November 8th. Visited by Ghosts. Forty ghosts, with awful, ghostly faces, carrying Jack o' lanterns and moaning and sigh ing in a way to make one's hair curl in terror, swooped down on the Cauthorn Hall inhabitants at the dinner hour Wednesday even ing. The, coming of the weird company was unsuspected and as the ghosts entered the hall the leader turned off the lights and the forty white-robed figures began a march around the dining room, groaning and crvinr in To Educate . Ederheimer Stein !f Pi iff 11 The Douglas and! Florsheim Shoes I The "Hawes" and SViallory Hats true ghost fashion. After a few moments of blood curdling silence Prof. Berchtold finally regained his voice and made a brief address of welcome to the uninvited guests; Prof. Horner also offered a few re marks in poetical vein, and the company rallied and joined in a few songs, after which the ghosts filed put of the room and disappeared in the darkness from whence they had come. While no one was identified, it has since come to light that the ghosts all came from Alpha Hall and that among them were some of the most dignified of the col lege ladies-all of which , goes to show that hallowe'en practices are not to soon be forgotten in this country, where fun and frolic are indulged in by old-and young alike. Do You Open Your Mouth Like a young bird and gulp down what everfoodor medicine may be offered you? Or, do you want to know something of the composition and character of that which you take into your stomach whether as food or medicine ? :. Most intelligent and sensible people now-a-days itoist on knowing what they employ whether as food or as medicine. Dr. Pierce believes they have a perfect right to insist upon such knowledge. So he publishes,"-bKaalast ani on each bottle wrapper, whatJlsTnd4cines are made of anavexifiesJ.5ior-alB This he feels he can wHCSfford to do because the mnm the ingredients of which his medicines are "made are smdiod and understood the" more will their superior curative virtues be atinrecuue t. For the cure of woman's peculiar weak nesses, irregularities and derangements, giving rise to frequent headaches, back ache, dragging-down pain or distress in lower abdominal or pelvic region, accom panied, ofttimes, with a debilitating, pelvic, catarrhal drain and kindred symp toms of weakness, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a most efficient remedy. It is equally effective in curing painful periods, in giving strength to nursina mothers and in preparing the system of the expectant mother for baby's coming, thus rendering childbirth safe and com paratively painless. The "Favorite Pre scription " is a most potent, strengthenirg tonic to the general system and to the organs distinctly feminine in particular. It is also a soothing and invigorating nervine and cures nervous exhaustion, nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea or St. Vitns's dance, and other distressing nervous symptoms at tendant upon functional and organic dis eases of the distinctly feminine organs. - A host of medical authorities of all the several schools of practice, recommend each of the several ingredients of which "Favorite Prescription" is made for the cure of the diseases for which it is claimed to be a cure. You mav read what thev say for yourself by sending a postal card i request ior a free booklet of extracts from the leading authorities, to Dr. R. V.
