MEN I'ltOM THE FAllM.
A Urcat Majority Of Farmers in
New Oregon Legislature.
The Oregon Legislature of 1905 is a
widely representative body, not only in
the geographical location of its mem
bers, as the law requires, but also in
their occupations and business interests.
Though this is primarily a lawmaking
body, only 14 of its members are law
yers. Farmers, who constitute the
greater proportion of the population,
have also the greater proportion of Rep
resentatives, there being 20 farmers in
the two Houses of the Legislature. If
the five stockmen be classed as farmers,
the agricultural classes have more than
one fourth of the members of the Leg
islature.
The business interests are represent
ed bv five bankers, nine merchants and
seven lumber manufacturers. Six doc
tors and two druggists will be at Salem
next winter to look after legislation that
particularly relates to the health of the
state. Almost every business and in
dustrial interest is represented, and it
would be difficult to propose any legis
lation bearing upon a subject regarding
which no member could speak from
knowledge gained by experience.

The Flag of Victory.
The thirteen Stars and Stripes was tri
umphant at Saratoga in 1777, bIso in the
War of 1812, Mexioan War, Civil War
and Spanish War. With such a record
our flag has been truly called "The Flag
of Victory. On acoount of the unequal
led reoord of cures made by tbe famous
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters it has also
been truly nBmed "The leader of its
olBBs.'t In fact, it is so safe and reliable
that prominent pbysioians all over the
country neAer hesitate in recommending
it to their most delicate patients, know
iog from past experience that if a oureif
possible tbe Bitters will affect it. A
single bottle is all that is necessary to
convince you of its value in oases of in
digestion, dyspepsia, constipation, bil
iouenees or malaria. Be sure to try it.
Tornado at HIoscsw.
Moscow, Eu-isia, June 30. A tornado,
swept the city last night causing enor
mous damage. Forty-five persons were

while 85 persons were hurt.
The telegraph syBtera was prostrated
and railroad communication is inter

a pound fell during the storm.
In one grove of 250 acres only one
tree was left standing.
Worst of all Experiences.
Can anything be worse than to feel
that every minute will be your laBt?
Such was the experience of Mrs. S. H.
Newson, Decatur, Ala. "For three years,
she writes, "I endured insufferable pain
from indigestion, stomach and bowel
trouble. Death seemed inevitable when
doctors and all remedies failed. At
length I was induced to try Electric Bit
ters and the result was miraculous. I Im
proved Bt onoe and now I'm completely
recovered." For Liver, Kidney , Stom
ach and Bowel troubles Electrio Bitters
is the only medicine. Only 50o. It's
guaranteed by E. J. Slocum, Druggist.

MOiiiKii RACE HORSES.
Hlarli Average of Speed That Ha Beea
Attained To Jo the Last Few
Year.
The average race of 1903 was run a half
second faster than in previous seasons.
Years ago when the Suburban and the
Brooklyn handicaps were created, they
were intended primarily to be endur
ance races, in which horses should tako
up strong weights and run a respectabla
route at a moderate pace, says Outing.
W once called those handicaps "dis
tance" races. Now they are "sprint"
races-nothlng less than that. The pac
is terrific. Five years ago horses sprint
ed six and sovon furlongs. Last sum
mer they sprinted a mile and a quarter,
taking the popular handicap routes at a
pace that not many years ago would
have been that of a quarter horse. The
first of the great handicaps Is the Metro
politan, a mile at Morris Park in May.
Only those horses that are especially
forward" in their preparation may
start. So early In t he year no great deed
is anticipated In the Metropolitan, and
yet the running in the season that has
Just passed was remarkable for the pace.
William C. Whitney's splendid four-
year-old Gunfire was the winner after a
terrific struggle, during which theclipset
by the front runners was a strain of the
most trying sort. Alternately Gunfire.

were leading with no great distance sep
arating them at any time. With the
field close at their heels they ran tlw
first furlong in 12 3-5, the first quarter
of a mile In 24 seconds, the three fur
longs In 35 1-5 seconds, and the half mils
in 48 2-5, the five furlongs in 1:00 4-5, the
six furlongs In 1 : 14 3-5, and the full mile
out, Gunfire beating Old England by a
length and a half In 1:38 3-5.
PROBLEM OF DRY FARMING.
Atfrlenltnral Department Has Hehente
for H&lalnK Planta With
out L'ee ot Water.
It is probable that in the near future
It will be possible to raise good crops
without either natural or artificial irri
gation. As Is apparent to everyone,
even th most literal system of irriga
tion reclamation wiil not exhaust the
available arid and semlarid regions of
the west, aa even when irrigation has
been applied to its utmost limits there
will remain some millions of acres of
fertile land that adjoin these reclaimed
waste. The lands lie principally be
tween the one hundredth and the oua
hundred and twentieth meridians and
comfriae area over which there is a
deficient rainfall, with no available
neighboring louroea of supply which
might be brought to them even by ca
nals. But the department of agriculture ha
other resources to fall back upon. If
the customary crops require water why
not develop new crops that can be grown
dry? This, in substance. Is the problem
the bureau of plant industry has set for
Itself. Dry land farmirg or "dry farm
ing" Is the name of this unique scheme.
Just now the world is being Eearched
for industrial plants that can sustain
life and mature crops with a minimum
of water and an elaborate life study of
all such planta is under way.
International Telephone.
Great activity is now being dis
played in the extension of interna
tional telephones. Hrnswels and Lon
don and Paris and Kmno are nlrendy
connected. Negotiations are now in
progress between the Russian and
German government to still further
enlarge the area of international
telephone by a direct, line connect
ing St. Petersburg and Herlin.
