Hill proposes to gather exihibtts of what Oregon raises and place them in ao exhibit car which will be sent East ani routed! through the sections' of the . country where it will do the most good. That these exhibits will accomplish, a great deal, accompanied' as they will be by a lecturer, is certain and that many thousands of settlers will be brought to this state as a direct result is believed. An actual demonstration of what this state can produce ini fruits, grains, grasses, vegetables, etc., will unquestionably prove convincing to the easterner. Attractive literature will accompany the exhibit car, tell ing of opportunities, here for the homeseeker, . and the ' lecturer will auswer questions about this state.

A remarkable sale of Oregon fruit landsi was that made during the past week when the Burrell orchard,, of 605 acres, near Medford in the Rogue River valley, passed to new owners for the record-breaking fig ure of $500,000. Captain Gordon Voorhles, of Portland, sold the prop erty to C. M. Speck and associates, of Spokane. The orchard has a splendid record, returning a fortune each year from Its large acreage of apples and pears. It Is said a por tion of the orchard may be sub divided and sold in. small tracts by. the new o.wnera. " ' Since the Portland Union stock yards opened for business last Sep tember, 2189 cars of livestock have been handled there, representing an approximate valuation of $4,000,000, according to Manager D. O. Lively. The market thus established, has been of great value to the city and to livestock growers throughout the Pacific Northwest for competition tor their products' has resulted in better prices and quicker sales than formerly. Hogs this week have been hovering around the $10 mark and mutton has been, very high aa well. ; Biggest Overflow In Sixteen Years Melting Snofw of Prairie Creek Comes Down In) Great w Flood. The biggest flood since 1894 swept down Prairie creek and on down the river Tuesday and Tues day night. The rain and warm, wind of the preceding night melted the snow that lay a foot deep all over' the Prairie Creek country, and with' the streams pouring out of all the passes and off the hills that sur round that big basin made a vast quantity of water that the narrow banks of the creek could not con tain. The overflow spread over the low lands, bridges were swept from their foundations and considerable damage was done to fences, roads, etc. The lower parts of tqwn were flooded and a number of families compelled to move out. River street was overflowed from the rink south past the Steel property, the torrent rushing knee deep over the road. Depot street was Impassable and a number of houses in that part of town were surrounded by water. The flood reached Its highest at 9 o'clock Tuesday night and by Wed nesday morning all danger of further damage was at an end. The con tinued warm .weather Is taking the rest of the snow but the overflow are not so high, Several narrow escapes of persons attempting to drive along over flowed, roads were reported, but no accidents happened except the mis hap to Marshal Hug. While attempt ing to save some water pipe being swept across River street near the rink he lost his smoke pipe and got his feet wet. The bystanders thought the city ought to pay for another pipe as It was lost in line of duty, but agreed that, the feet wetting did more good than harm. . Railroad Traffic Tied Up.

All Kinds of money to loan on farm property, from one to five years; large or small amounts Fire Insurance written in companies that pay all losses in full. WALLOWA LAW, I AND a ABSTRACT CO. ENTERPRISE, OREGON C M. L0CKW00D, Lockwosd Bllysa, Uaitt Sutas CommlnioMr Htujin came out the first of the week on his way to attend the meeting with the district forester at Wallowa. Mr. Stumbaugh's place is three miles below the bridge. He wintered 3,000 sheep without hay and says they came through in fine shape, with only the loss of 19 ewes and 68 lambs or about the average per cent, and they principally from Coyotes. The report of losses of cattle have been exaggerated. The best posted men down on the river are placing the average loss at not over 10 per cent, practically all from sliding. Of course some owners have lost a great deal more, while many have lost less. WEDDING BELL8.

It maintains with all other scien tists that evil germs, to which so many diseases ere due, will pass Into the system and out again with- ; out doing any harm, unless they i find weakened tissue in which to grow and multiply. But it holds. apart from the older schools, that the weakened tissue will be made right, and the germa vanish, if the proper blood supply to the part is re-established. .
