Following ia the report of the grand
jury:
In the Circuit Court of the State of Ore
gon for Morrow County.
In the matter of the report of the Grand
Jury for the November term 1904.
To Hon. W. R. Ellis, Circuit Judge.
We your Grand Jury duly drawn for
the November term of the above en
titled court 1904, having finished our
labors respectfully report as follows:
We have been in session three days,
and have diligently inquired into all
matters brought before us or citning to
our attention. We have found and re
turned two true bills, and after careful
and thorough investigation and deliber
ation have failed to find true bills or to
bring indictments in the other matters
considered by us.
We have visited and inspected all tbe
county offices and the Poor Farm, and
also investigated the conduct of all
county and district offices, and we find
that all such offices are being carefully
conducted with competent officials.
We would recommend however that
the management of the Poor Farm be
improved. Upon an inspection of tte
house where the county charges are
kept, we find that the rooms are not as
cleanly as they should be, and that im
mediate attention should be given to r,n
improvement in that respect.
Having completed our labors we re
spectfully ask to be discharged.

A JTlORROw I'OUNTV RECORD.
What a (iflod Farmer Can Do oil
wheat Lands.
The following statement furnished by
Edward Glock.one ot Morrow county's
prosperous farm ts. w 11 be of inter at
especially to people who are looking for
homes. Tin statement which ia ab
solutely correct in every detail shows
that Mr. Glock purchased 320 acres of
raw Imd which had never been culti
vated, for $1650. Afttr a liberal allow
ance f.)r every expense in crowing,
harvesting & d maiketing a crop of
whea, and alio selling at a fi :ure con
siderable bclow the maximum price, a
balance of 81524 75 is left, lacking only
$125.25 of payiner for the ltnd with the
first crop. Like all ot'jer raw lands,
thisUnd will be gr.atly improved bv
culti vation, and will produce a greater
yield in the future, as it is impossible to
put any land in high state of cultivation
in one season, Btlow is the statement
which ppaks for itself:

of section 30, townsh'p 2 north, range
24 east W. M., about 10 miles north
east of lone, Ore.
Plowing 8 300 00

Good Health
to the
hildren
Children especially are fond of dainties,
and the housekeeper must look carefully
to their food.
As good cake can be made only with
good eggs, so also a cake that is health
ful as well as dainty must be raised with
a pure and perfect baking powder.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
in the preparation of the highest quality
of food. It imparts that peculiar light
ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the
finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc.,
and what is more important, renders the
food wholesome and agreeable to young
and old.

Morrow County's Wheat Landi
Will Never Wear Out.
That the soil of Morrow cornty is
rich, especially in wheat producing
qualities l as been p'oyen by practical
test.
A chemical test of a quantity f Mor
row county soil tal-en fro n the wheat
belt near lone, Morrow county, recently
made by the late Proffessor Henry, of
the Smithsonian institute of Washing
ton, D. C , reveals the fact that this
soil is of the same identical composition
as that of Sicily , or a pure unqual fied
voicanic at-h, iccapable of destruction,
ncapable of I eing sapped of its strength ,
neapable of loss of soil, force or en
ergy, incapable of being weakened by
the g.o th of strong crops, or by any
contious process of single crop produc
tion.
Sicily has produced wheat f r 2000
years and has never produced a heavier
crop than that of 1903. Her eoil is self
reoperating yo'canic ash that supplies
its own force, that yields nothing. It
is simply pulverized and vitalized lava,
and while it is not rich and deep and
black H9 the washed alluvial of the
river bottoms of Europe, it is inde
structible, ad has an endless strength
and vitality.

the intercollegiate football game
at Berkeley, ChI., November 12.
