Unable to pass an opinion on the
merits of the book. The subject, "The
Legislative History of Our Country
Since lfiiGl," is an interesting one, and
from an author of Blame's pretentions,
should be accurate and contain a foun
tain of useful information unless he
lias trusted too much of the details to
inferior scribes. It is claimed by East
ern journals who have examined the
book critically, that it is not accurate,
and falsifies history, especially on the
tariff question. '

Ten Acres Enough. There are
many notable instances showing that
in Oregon ten acres are. enough to
afford a liberal income to an industrious
man. One farmer in j Mai ion county
lias ten acres in orchard which pays
liim a net profit of one hundred and
fifty dollars per aero each year. This
is a fair income, and more than the
average ranchman or large farmer re
ceives. An orchard of prunes, five
acres, paid the owner a net profit of
eight hundred and ten doll ars last yar,
and thst was our year of failure in the
prune crop

formed. Upon breaking the second
shell, egg No. 3 came forth. Mrs.
Shield vouches for tho truth of the
above. This approaches the Chinese

who will declare it to be a fish story,
such an incident never having been re
ported before.

with him in regard to hard times. I
think, however, he is' mistaken in say
ing that Oregon is a poor place . for a
poor man. In rcgaid to the thousands
he says, are roaming over the country
with blankets on their backs, hunting
work, which they cannot find, I will
say there is a demand for men, that is
on the work in this country. I will
say that I have ten teams idle, which
I can get work for, in ease I can get
ten good men to drive them to haul
railroad wood, and as theie is a de
mand for teams on the railroad, I
would send some there if I could get
sober, steady men to drive them, and
I will give then, work until the rainy
season.
I will also say that there is plenty
of vacant land here which will -make
good homes for men willing to work,
and as you say yon wish to see Oregon

Eldorado-
Gaily bedigkt, a gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long, singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
But be grew old, this knight si bold,
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell pslie found no spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And as his strength failed Lira at length
He met a pilgrim shadow. -"Shr.dow,"
said he, "where can it be,
This spring of Eldorado?1'
Qaoth the shadow: "For the benefit o
suffering humauity I will state tht the El
dorado spring is situated three miles wat
from Eosegurg, and a supply of the water.is
kept constantly on hand and for ale by Dr.
S. Hamilton, asvut, Roseburg, Oregor."
Ma. Geo. W. Jones .Dear Rir: I have been
troubled with neuralgic pains in my head and cheek
bones', for several years, and had give up all hopes cf
ever (jetting cured. 1 went to your medical springs
with my soii James and got some of the water, and
dra'.ik it freely and found that it was a mild physic.
1 used it three Mines a lUy ior a little more than two
months, and the pain leit me and I have not felt
them since, and that has been 17 mouths aaro.

Ceo. W. Josks. Dear Sir: I would here state to
you that a year ayo I suffered untold agonies on ac
c.mnt of piles (blind) and went to Portland to get re
lief from docti-rs there. I met Mr. Apple of Ko
burg, who advised me before seeing the doctore to
trv your Eldorado Mineral Water. I did o and had
one dozen bottles sent to me by A. E. Champagne.
I used one-half dozen bottles, takir.g right bef or ev
ery meal, one small glass full. 1 not only was re
lieved, butl am certainly cured by what f used, and
thanVfurforit, because 1 suffeted more than I can
express. I would advise any one tufferinir from tbia
dwoa.se to try your Mineral Water. Should yon
have any occasion to use this statement do so. You
are at iiberty on my account. I think thin is tha
least I can do for vou. as 1 was cured by it. R
spectfully yours, JULIAN JOSEPH.
