After giving the machines a two
weeks' trial, Drs. Littlefleld and Lar-
kin sent their automobiles back to
Portland on Tuesday, to "revert to the
original owners." They found that
on the dusty and comparatively rough
roads ofthis section the machines
) not practicable. All the rest of
us who were expecting soon to be roll
ing around in automobiles will profit
by the experience which the doctors
have paid for, and in the meantime
we will all be found zealously con
tending for better highways. New-
berg Graphic.
Threshing was delayed by the rain
that fell early in the week, and all the
machines were idle for a few days.
Most of them started yesterday morn
ing, and today the harvest is on again
in full blast all over the county. The
rain did not injure the grain in the
least, and the wheat is going into the
warehouses in fine condition. The
only inconvenience caused by the wet
weather is that the harvest will not be
finished before hop picking and prune
drying begin. However, there is
every indication that the present fine
weather will continue for several
weeks, and that all crops will be
saved in good shape.
Potent Pill Pleasure.
The pills that are potent In their
action and pleasant in effect are Do
Witt's Little Early Risers. W. S.
Philpot of Albany, Ga., sas: "Dur
ing a bilious attack I took one. Small
as it was it did me more good than
calomel, blue-mass or any other pills
I ever took and at the same time it
effected me pleasantly. Little Early
Risers ara certainly an ideal pill."

Ten thousand dollars is the sura be
ing expended by the Multnomah Am
ateur Athletic Club on Portland's big
Fall Carnival, September li to 26 in
clusive, and it is safe to say that the
biggest and best show of the kind ever
given on the Pacific coast will be that
in September. Low rates have been
granted by the railroads and the
attendance no doubt will be very large.
The boys have decided to make every
day a special day and this will be
something of an innovation in the
way of a carnival.
