Oummerman. txaieje DO YOU KNOW you are wearing stockings that have been burned? It's a fact. All black hosiery is dyed by what' is known as the "oxidized" process, which means nothing less than a "burn ing" process. That's exactly why even the best stockings you can buy often "go wrong." Armor Plate Hosiery is not dyed by this burning process. The manufactur ers have been working for "years trying to produce a dye that would not burn the hosiery,, and they haye just perfected such a dye which they have called "Harms Naut Dye." It harms neither the hosiery nor the skin. The original strength of every yarn in Armor Plate Hosiery is retained. Hence the wearers have the assurance of the most serviceable and long lived hosiery ever manufactured. For the Entire Family Armor Plate Hosiery is just as good for the woman who ex pects service from a light-weight gauze stocking as it is for the boy who must have a stocking that will stand the strain and wear. If you want to cut your hosiery bill in half, in sist upon Armor Plate Hosiery every time and for all the family. We earry in stock all the de sirable sizes, ftyles and weights. Let us show you hosiery satisf action and economy. Look for the Yellow Ticket W. J. Funk & Co. OFFICIAL OF coin COURT PROCEEDINGS OF REGULAR MARCH TERM FEW MAT TERS OF INTEREST.

After a blockade of railway traf fic for five daysv caused by wash outs and slides there Is promise of mall today, Saturday. The gang of men working on the washouts of track and bridges between here and Lostine completed their Job Friday, aided by the Palmer log-. jing train that brought a lot of workmen and bridge timber to as sist. One of the worst places was m the swampy ground twol miles be low town. The train that has been at this end of the line all ;weeik went out this morning and will meet the La Grande train In the cut below Elgin, where a big slide Is tlU obstructing the track. Passengers, rain crews, mall, baggage and ex press will be transferred and the trains will return to their starting points. This will be the first out-. 3tde mall on the branch since Mon day, and It Is likely to be pretty late arriving this evening. The telephone line to La Grande is out of commission again, today, as usual ..just when it is most needed. There are rumors that the main line was In trouble yesterday but no definite Information is ob tainable. The' floods have subsided In town and the damages to bridges and sidewalks are being repaired. The bright, warm sunshine and wind of Thursday and Friday dried the road except In low places. Saturday is a typical March day, weather raw and, windy. .

The examination of National Forest boun daries carried oa by the Forest of ficers last summer and fall upon the initiative of Secretary Wilson and under his direction, has resulted in new information, which will make It possible to restore to the unre served public domain much land along the edges of and within forests- that Is not best suited to for est purposes. This la to be done under a plan Just, approved by Pres ident Taft. The plan was formula ted by Secretary Wilson and Secre tary BalMnger jointly and submitted to the President In the following let ter: Feb. 7, 1910. The President, The White House. Sir: After having very carafulfy considered the matter of eliminations from and additions to the National Forests, we respectfully recommend that the following general policy be adopted. 1. Lands wholly or in part cov- ered with brush or other under growth ' which protects svreamflow or checks erosion on the watershed of any stream important to Irriga tion or to the water supply of any city, town, or community, or open lands on which trees may be grown, should be retained within the Nation al Forests, unless their permanent value under cultivation is greater than their value as a protective for est. 2. .

NO BETTER FRUIT COUNTRY ANYWHERE EXPERT SAYS WALLOWA COUN TY EXCELS IN COIL AND CLI MATIC ADVANTAGES. The following letter to this paper from the County Fruit Inspector contains some good Ideas of general interest: I wish to preface this article by stating that there can be no new facts advanced In the matter of whether it pays to grow fruit. Everybody that Is posted at all and la willing to -take the time to look up the statistics knows that fruit grqwing has been and will be one of the best money-getting and money-earning Industries for the husbandman for years to come. The writer has1 been identified for the last 20 years with aU kinds of fruit growing and has been in all the fruit districts of the Northwest, barring none, and Wallowa county can and will produce juat as good fruit as can be grown In any other fruit dis trict, and from general observation I consider the Industry very promis ing indeed.' Now if our own citi zens will take on a little more ac tivity and let the general public know of the great wealth of choice alluvial soil that Is so well adapted to the growing of the apple and pear, these two great staple commer cial varieties, would be a step along the line of progress. It seems almost needless to repeat that these two staple fruits have made several districts wealthy. - Our county Is what is known as a diversified fruit growing country. Some parts grow varieties that other parts can not, as the climatic conditions govern; but as a whole there is no kind of fruit grown In the Northwest that can not be grown in Walloiwa county. I have the temerity to claim that It js the best county in the state for all kinds of husbandry and the annual distri bution' of moisture is of the best. Little has been done In ai commer cial way in this section in regard to fruit, as all of the older orchards have so many varieties lit is a dif ficult matter to collect a car-load shipment of any one variety. The keeping qualities for commer cial purposes of fruit ' grown In thJe district is of the best, the hardy condition of the trees make without quesitloni the fruit better, and apples have been known to keep in an ordinary cellar from the fall to the first day of June. These facts being taken into consideration, there is no question! but that Wal lowa county can be known, asi a. fruit district that can grow first class commercial' varieties. What we need and will get is more people and of the right sort, the kind that can produce. It will not be the fellow that says It won't pay, "It can. not be done" and who sits around, chews- tobacco, and spits on the stove,, finds fault with his neighbor, and is "agin" the govern ment and law and order. Nor will it be the looker-on- who watches his neighbor do things and Is always talking about his In opportunities and that he never did have a chance. But it is the fellow that is a;wake and knows that he can do it, and tries to find out how to do It, and 'here are no greater opportunities anywhere than right here in. Wal lowa county to get a start In the fruit Industry and he who takes care of these advantages .will grow and prosper, and thereby become a use ful citizen because he produces something. The fruit Industry gives a man with small means a better oppor tunity to get & start than, any other kind of farming, for It takes less capital and the man who is will ing to work can In a short time be Independent. Whenever person are entering upon the production of any ne,w in dustry It Is not all sunshine; there will be a few storms, but If you tick you are sure to win. There to a tendency to specialize in all kinds of industries, and why not in farming, and I am of the opinion that the future success of the husbandman will be in specializ ing the fruit product. The Hon. H. M. Williamson, sec retary of the state board of horti culture, in his talk before the Ore gon Agricultural college voiced these same statements. He ala stated that the day for the home orchard for commercial purposes 1 past, and that the product of the future will be in orchards planted and cul tivated solely for apples and pears, according to up-to-date and scientific methods. He also declared that the Northwest leads all other districts in scientific orchard practice, which will tend to centralize the Industry In this region, thereby making it eventually supreme. He also states that there will be no overproduc tion of fruit and has to support this statement these facts: That the consumption is rapidly Increasing, while the production Is 40 per cent less than it was 40 years ago. Why not take advantage of this cheap land and plant a good com mercial orchard. Find out what Is best for your district and plant It. FORD C. POTTKR, County Fruit Inspector.

Holmes GRQCERYMEN TALK T PUBLICITY FOR THE COUNTRY 8TORE DISCUSSED AT EU, GENE CONVENTION. At the Eugene convention of the retail grocerymen of Oregon, one of the speakers who addressed tha re-. callers on the topic, "Advertising a Country Store," said he did not be lieve in 'the efficacy of newspaper advertising. He said he had decid ed that out of the fulness of his experience. This, however, was not the exper ience of a number of others. The next man who spoke on the subject said that in his town there were three papers, and his store took a good big space in all of them, not out of loyalty to the town and not out of charity to the editors, but because it paid to do so. He saldi ha was a firm , believer in advertising in all Its forms, and the news-paper wast one of the very best forms. But, he went on to say, this sort of advertising which merely an nounces what your business! is and that you handle staple and fancy goods didn't do m'uch good. The advertiser must be ,wide-awake and bright. He must say something! and 3ay it strong. Furthermore, he must make no promises- which he cannot and will not live up to. If he ad vertises that he has the best ser vice In town, he'd- better have the best service In town, or his adver tising will Injure him rather than help him. A third agreed with what the for mer speaker had said, and went itill farther into the matter, touch ing cleverly on some ot the psychol ogy ot advertising. When asked hqw he would advertise, he replied that it depended altogether on the nature of the goods he had for sale. If he werev, striving to sell goods for men he would make It brief, in good, big type, catchy and striking, for men are In a hurry and they will not stop to read a long-winded statement or descriptions. Get the men at one dash or you won't get them at all. With women, he went on, it was altogether different. To (Continued on last page.) The Pioneer Real Estate Mao.
