SPRING FEVER!
At this time of tbe year
the blood changes, its cir
culation is sluggish and
the system is not properly
nourished. The result is
loss of appetite, weakness,
an oppressive feeling of
fullness, too hot, and Oh!
so tired. To cure and
prevent Spring Fever
Take Simmons Liver Reg

waking and everybody
should invigorate the
liver, kidneys and bowels
with Simmons Liver Reg

not have so much bilious

and malaria all the rest
of tbe year. You would
not expect a plant to work
off a winter's decay and

without attention in the
Spring. Don't expect it

WORTH ICNOWINGR
A young tree with a small top and
abnndant roots is worth far more than
one with a fine, well-shaped top and few
roots.
Tbe acre of ground around the oountry
sohoolhonse should be a paradise of trees,
ahrubi and flowers, a beautiful . experi
mental garden. .
Mrs. Taylor, who lives near Cathlamet,
on the Columbia, has sold 600 dozen
eggs from ninety hens since the 21th
day of last October at prices ranging
from 25 to 60 oentj. Some of the eggs
measured seven and one quarter inohes
around.
Without doubt our farmers sow too
much grain per acre. It is more easily
affected by hot weather, and certainly
oannot do so wall any season as grain
sown more thinly. B. F. Swaggart
sows only about one-tbird as rhuoh per
acre as the average ranober, and as. a
result when his neighbor's crops are sut
fering.;'hisarein good condition.
Work horses need plenty ot strength
ening food, regularity in feeding and
watering and good grooming. Quard
against galls by keeping tbe harness
clean and soft. Many horses work best
when they are barefoot. Proteot teams
from drafts when they are heated. Give
brood mares roomy quarters' watobful
oare and treat tliem gently and kindly.
B. F. Swaggart is ous of oir rano her
that is making a success at fruit raising.
His ranoh is looated twelve mile! north
of Happner. He raised a large amont of
grapes last year and the crop bids fair
to be good th ooming season. His
fruit trees, ot all kinds applicable to this
olimate, are doing well. Mr. Swaggart
cultivates his trees like a farmer should
his corn, buf does not irrigate.
Dayton MJhronicle: A small, green
worm is being found on plums trees in
the orohards about the oity, and it is
doing considerable damage to tbe trees.
Those wbo have tried it say that com
mon smokiug tobacco, sprinkled npon
hot ooals, and by means of a pan with
a long handle attached, beeld nnder tbe
brandies a few moments, tbe worms will
quiokly drop to the ground dead.
Many people want a cow's udder to
milk down to a mass ot loose skin, like
an empty glove says a contemporary.
On this point Mr. Boyd says : "I grant
that sucb a cow is usually a large milk
er, but you may just as snreley set her
down as a thin milker and an inferior
butter cow." This is trne in its broad
sense, but large milkers do not neoes
sarily haye flubby bags wbeo milked
down. Those who understand how
milk is secreted will understand the
point made.
We find the following item in one of
our exchanges: "A farmer near town
has been in the habit of running accounts
during tbe year, and paying in tbe fall
with tbe proceeds of the dairy, when he
couuted himself lueky if be made both
ends meet. He resolved to try a new
plan, for one year at least. Accordingly
be hired a som of money at the legal rate
of interest and began purchasing for
cash, when tbe result that in tbe fall
he found had money enough to pay the
borrowed capital, and a nice littie bal
anoe nf $200 to plaoe on interest. Sinoe
then he runs no acconnts. Cash will al
ways disoount credit."
"I have planted several thousands ot
trees during the last ten years," says
nurseryman, "and have seldom been
oalled npon to replace one that has
died. Tbe success is tbe result ot a
very simple, but seldom failing precau
tion. When tbe tree is planted a piece
of wood not less than three inches wide
and high enough to reach tbe lowest
branches should be qriven into the
ground south of the tree. This keeps
sun off it during two-tbirds of the day,
aud prevents tbe sap and bark being
burned up before new roots have been
formed. Anyone adopting this plaa will
be certain to bave success with bis trees,
no matter how poorly they look when
first planted out."

TUB WOOL HARHET.
Commission firms to induce wool grow
ers to oonsign their clips, have been
sending out letters and oirculars oon
cernibg prices for wbioh they olaim they
can sell wool, that are evidently mislead
ing a great many. Tbe prevailing im
pression among sheepmen seems to be
that wool should command a much
higher prioe this season than it did last.
Bradstreet's reports are'tbose of disinter
ested parties, and may be considered
reliable; while those from commission
firms are simply to induce shipments.
Bradstreet indioates the general wool
market at present a shade lower on all
exoept territory wools, wbioh iooludes
Oregon. These are about tbe same. The
scaroity of money is an important factor
this year with manufacturers, and the
probabilities are that while wool values
will remain firm, sales, will be only as
wool is required for use. One of the
largest buyers of wool in San Franoisoo
came to Heppner to buy wool, but while
here he bad wool offered him in Sau
Francisco scoured, on a lower basie than
be found wools held for here, so he ac
cepted tbe offer from San Francisco and
left Heppner.
A peculiar feature this season is that
tbe salesman of a firm which holds out
great inducements to the grower to ship
to 'Frisoo, telegraphs to looal buyers
that they will Bell them wool at figures
far below the prices promised to the
sheepmen. . TLa fancy quotations at
tract the wool, and low prices take buy
ers away from the market
A half dozen of, the leading buyers
have been here for some time but bave
made but nine purchases, oluiming that
wools are beld from one to three cents
above prices whioh they oan pay. it is
wall to bold for good prices, but there is
such a thing as holding too high. There
is one thing certain. Wool is worth
within three quarters of a oent as much
here in Heppner as it ib in Sun Fran
cisco. Buyers olaim that they oan and
will oome that near 'Frisco prioes, but
that tbe statements ot commission firms,
doing business there, is all bosb.
Concerning prices pn sent and pros
pective, the last large sale in San Fran
cisco was a lot of wool sooured at 68o
delivered in Hartford. This is bbo in
'Frisoo, or Wo in the grease for wools
shrinking 70 per cent., which is nearly
the average Bhrinkage of the wools of
this section. The average expense of
shipping and 'selling in 'Frisoo in 20
so the sale above quoted is about on a
basis of 14)s0 for theavorage of our wools
in the 'Frisco market at present.

COOPER'S BHEEP DIPPING POWDKH.
The only way in which the efficiency ot
of a dip can be proved is by its Buocens
fill application. .ach time it stands
this practical test is additional proof of
iis merits, and therefore it follows that
the dip whioh has been longest in the
market and obtained for itself by fur the
most extensive use, must possess the
greatest merit.
This goes almost without saying, hut
just now the market is ao full of untried
preparations with oaring advertisements
that it becomes easv to overlook the very
common souse fact to which we bave
jnat referred.
JUvery sneepman Knows that the ef
ficiency of a dip ia a matter of su
preme importance. No man of business
wbo baa simply biB own interests at
heart should allow himself to be cajoled
into trying experiments when, without
nskini; a cent he nas at hand an artioie
of indisputable efficacy proved by long
aud successful use.
Cooper s Powder has stood the test for
nearly half a century. The proprietor
first brought it to the notice ot his cus
tomers when ongaged in an extensive
veterinary praotice, and it met with such
marked success thtt he gave several
years special attention and study to the
preparation, and Dually withdrew from
general practice and devoted himself en
tirely to its manufacture.
More than thirty yean nave passed
sinoe he did so, and during th. greater
portion of that period two other quali
fied and practical veterinary surgeons
bave asaooiated with him in the business
so that under suoh careful supervision,
with every possible appliance at hand
which experience could suggest, it is
not surprising that this preparation has
met with snch universal favor.
Every year the sales have steadily in
creased until tbey have attained such
magoitude that the warehouse book
shows an annual sale sufficient to dip
over seveuty-nve million sheep, Tins
success has not even been approached by
any other preparation ot tbe kind. The
tests to which sheep dips are subjected
are of so extremely severe a obaraoter
that few survive them, and Cooper's
Powder tbus stands alone in never losing
headway in any oountry after being ouce
introduced.
It has gradually worked its way
through obstacles of every kind, and bus
become tbe standard sheep dip in every
wool-producing country in tbe world.
On tbe prairies ot tbe far west, the
pampas of South Amerioa, tbe plains of
Australia and New Zealand and the
veldt of South Africa Cooper's Dip baa
fur a long time now been a necessity and
almost a household word amongst sorep
meu. What greater proof than this oun
reasonably be required?
If long and successful nse of an arti
ole is proof of its excellence, surely sut
isfaotioD U guaranteed bj such record.
MINING NOT US. ,.
From the Bedrock Democrat.
Deputy Sheriff Baisley has made a dis
oovery of a gold quartz mine in tbe vi-
oinity of the Huokleberry at the bead of ,-
Sumpter valley, and it prospects immena- .
ly. He will at onoe commence active
development work on the property.
Frank Hodckins, the comming mil
lionaire mine owner, was in the oity yes
terday from his newly discovered "Cow
boy" miue near Lookout mountain. He
Bays that development work now shows '
a fifteen foot vein of quartz betwem .
walls, some of the ore showing free gold
to the naked eye. "George" thinks he's
got a bonanza and we hope be has.
W. S. Adams, a mining man who ar
rived in the city from Portland several
days siuce to make a thorough inspec
tion of our mines, departed yesterday
for the Sanger distriot where he will
SDend a week in looking over the mines
in that section. Before returning the
gentleman will inspect the mines in the
Sparta, Paddy's Paradise and other dis
tricts in that part of the country.
W. M. Turner, who has been out with
Jacob Wagenblast, on the middle forks
of the John Day, brought in with him a
large number of fine specimens from the
galena mines, in which much interest is
being taken, says the East Oregonian.
The ore is from three ledges, and oon-
tains silver and lead in abundance. The
result from four assays made at Walla
Walla by M. Ganon shows an average of
$250 to theton. The principal ledae is
nine feet in width, and judging from the
specimens, destined to.beooma a valua
ble property. The ore is free-milling.
W. G. Hamm, son of W. A. Hamm, '
superintendent of construction of the
Baker City-Seven Deyils Wagon road.
arrived in the city yesterday afternoon
direct from tbe construction oamn on
Pine oreek. He is in after supplied and
will return in a'day or two. He eays
work is progressing rapidly and thinks
the heaviest part of construction is over.

IT WON'T WOUK.
0. C. McCoy, who is tbe owner of tbe
Baker City stage line, has purobased tbe
stock, good-will, eta, of tbe line from
Monument to Canyon City, He now
proposes to extend his newly purohassd
line on to Pendleton, by way of the
Pendletou-Long Oreek road, an almost
impassible thoroughfare, and has dis
continued the seotion from Monument to
Long Creek.
In the month of March lost the Hepp.
ner, Monument and Canyon City lines
ourried all the prssengers, with one ex
ception, between the outside world aud
this iuterior country, which is directly
tributary to Heppuer, as will be shown
by tbe stage business, as well as by the
amount of freighting done between
Heppner and that section. Business has
increased during the month ot April ahd
May, tbe books of the Slocum-Jobnston
Drug Co., wbo are agents for Mattos
Bros., showing that nearly 70 passengers
bave been carried over tbe Heppner line
during the past thirty days.
Mr. McCoy proposes to carry tbe large
amount ot mail from Monument to Long
Creek en .borsebaok. It is clear that
McCoy wishes to turn all tbe state busi
ness over his new Pendleton route,
whioh be considers would then be more
valuable to him than the Bmall line be
tween Long Creek aud Monument.
But this - move on the part of Mr,
MoOoy will not work. Freight and
passengers will go over tbe same as
ever, Mattos Bros, having made ar
rangements to put ou a ''swing" between
Monument and Long Creek, making
connection with the etageon to Canyon
1 n;..
The Gazette considers this action on
tbe part of Mr. MaCoy as an unwarrant
ed attempt to pull down the business
interests of Hoppnef and Mattos Bros,,
diverting it to bis own pockets and to
feudletoo. But all these little schemes
are being met by our people, and every
thing is going on just the same as ever.
Heppuer is the natural outlet of Grant
oouuty, and all the plans ot Pendleton
and Baker Oity to make it other
wise will come to naught.
For troublesome oougb there is noth
ing better than CUumberlain's Cough
