know of young men working - for from
two hundred to three hundred dollars
per annum, and boarding themselves,
who can command, as mechanics, three
times that sum. Why is it that good
mechanics of almost every kind are so
scarce, and are commanding their own

A former Oregon farmer who went to

farming in that state wrote back to Ore
gon friends, recently, as follows: "I be
lieve in diversified agriculture. An ex
hibit of my crop report for 190j is" as
follows: I have raised on acre of baked
potatoes, 5O bushels of dried peaches and
apples, 25 acres of parched cor.i, 1 acre of
roasted peanuts,' and if the weather con
tinues dry I will have abcut two acres of
melon preserves. I have also operated a
dairy far some time but I can't distin
guish the differenc between a cow and a
steer and I had to give that up. The
balance of my crop consists of chintz
bugs, grasshoppers and jack rabbits.

to arouse enthusiasm in tbe Whitworth
OAC game, and Main street was a mass
of screaming, noisy, good natured hu
manity, probaSly upwards ot a thousand
students and townspeople taking part in

get one had a horn or a magaphone and
the din cannot be described. Later a
huge bonfire was bnilt on the campus,
where a great mass of material bad been
accumulated for the purpose, and as tbe
flames leaped heavenward and (he spirits
of the crowd increased, there were
speeches by Profs. Horner, Cordley, aud

Schroeder, and the coach and captain of
the Whitworth team, college songs, yells

CATARRH IS CURABLE.
Successful Experiments in Abat
ing and Curing Tnis Disease.
Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary dis
ease and should not be tolerated for a
single day now that Hyomei is so gener
ally known and has made so many cures
in Corvallis and other towns.
Until comparatively recent times a-
tarrh was thought to be a blood disease
and stomach dosing the only treatment.
Modern science finally disproved this idea
of the cause of catarrh, and found that it
was a germ disease and, after many ex.
periments, the remedy was decided to be
Hvomei.
Hyomei medicates the air you breathe ;
jt kills the catarrhal germs; it keals the
smarting and raw membranes of the
passages in the nose and throat; it curs
all catarrhal troubles.
As there is life and health in tbe air ia
the mountain-tops where the pine forests
give off their fragrant and healing ' bal
sams, so there is life and health in breath
ing Hyomei. There is no need of suffer
ing from catarrh if the simple and natural
treatment of Hyomei is used.
So sure is this prescription to sure even
the worst cases of catarrh, that Graham
& Walls sell it under an absolute guaran
tee to refund the money 'f it does not V
all that is claimed for it. " 89-91
