MUST WAKE UP.
Wheat raising in Oregon, ac
cording to our belief, is doomed.
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.

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

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.
Pierce, Invalids Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N. Y., and it will come to
you by return post. .
