OIL AT MONMOUTH
Discovery of the Liquid on the Ore
gon State Normal School
Grounds.
Much excitement was created in
Monmouth last week by the discovery
of oil at the Oregon State Normal
School grounds. The well at the
building had gone dry, and the
authorities ordered it bored deeper.
In carrying out the order, tho well
diggers found that tho water they
drew up was covered with oil. A
match was set to it and it burned.
Men who remembered their own
school days smiled at people's credu
lence and gave the matter no further
thought, taking it for granted that
certain of tho Normal boys could ac
count for the presence of the oil better
than anyone else. However, the
matter has been investigated and the
authorities have given out the an
nouncement that tho discovery is not
a joke.
It seems probable that Monmouth
may yet become an oil center. The
oil wells recently opened north of
Monmouth are less than two miles
away, and Professor Buckham has
been unable to get water that cau be
used from wells at his residence, be
cause of the presence of a slight coat
ing of oil oq the surface of it.
WILL AMEND LIQUOR LAW
Legislature Will Likely Pass Bill
Striking Out County Feature.
Amendment of the local option law
to the extent of providing that here
after all liquor elections shall be held
on the precinct basis will likely be
effected at the next session of the Ore
gon Legislature. On every hand is
heard a demand for legislation of this
kind, and an amendment will be
undertaken by a bill to that effect.
Reliable information has it that if
such an amending bill is introduced
it will become part of the local option
law.
There is even heard a rumor that
an effort may be made to repeal the
law, but now that the act is a decree
of the people it is not regarded as
probable that the Legislature will take
it upon itself to set it aside, but rather
to amend it into a local option act,
and give the people that for which
they thought they were voting when
the law was carried at the polls. Tho
fact that many regarded the measure
as a purely precinct option act and
woke up to find that it was after all a
prohibition law, when their votes had
been cast, would, so many of the
Legislators think, justify them in
amending the law as the peoples'
representatives, to conform to that
which it was originally believed to be.
Members of the Multnomah dele
gation say they have heard much dis
cussion regarding an amendment
since the election, and it comes from a
pretty authoritative source that a bill
will be introduced and that xt will
come from Multnomah County. Eve

OFFICERS ARE ELECTED
Lewis and Clark Division Holds
Interesting Meeting on Tues
day Afternoon.
The Dallas Lewis and Clark Division
held a regular business meeting at
the home of Mrs. F. J. Coad on Tues
day afternoon. Election of officers
was held, and plans for future work
were discussed.
Officers were elected as follows:
Mrs. John E. Smith, president; Mrs.
M. M. Ellis, first vice-president ; Mrs.
Charles McDevitt, second vice-presi
dent; Mrs. H. B. Cosper, secretary;
Mrs. J. D. Smith, treasurer, (re
elected); Mrs. George L. Hawkins,
press correspondent.
After the election, dainty refresh
ments were served. Mrs. Coad was
assisted in entertaining by Mrs. F. A.
Stiles and Mrs. Ed. F. Coad. The
members of the Division are enthusi
astic in their desire to aid Polk county
in preparing a prize-winning exhibit,
and expect to do much active work
between now and the opening of the
Exposition.
Veteran Mason Dead.
William Miller, one of the oldest of
Oregon's early pioneers, and also a
pioneer member of the Masonic Lodge
on the Pacific Coast, died at his home
in Salem, Saturday night, of cancer
of the stomach. Mr. Miller was born
in Glasgow, Scotland, 90 years ago,
and emigrated to the United States in
1842. He came to Oregon in 1840, and
settled on a homestead near Wheat
land. He leaves a wife and one
daughter, Mrs. Frank Kellogg, of
Hopewell. Or. Deceased had been a
Mason for ever 50 years, and was a
member of Salem Lodge, Xo. 4, A. F.
& A. M. ; a member of Multnomah
Royal Arch Chapter, No. 1, and of De
Molay Commandery of the Knights
Templar.
The Big Elk correspondent of the
Toledo Leader says: "Wm. Mulkoy
and son Charles have sold thir sheep
and gone to Polk county to purchase
a flock of goats."
OUSTING THE MOLE
New Method Being Employed to De
stroy the Pest on the Exposi
tion Qrounds.
While every man has his trade, and
there are many strange ways of mak
ing a living, it is doubtful if there is
another man in America who makes
his living as does M. T. Whitney, of
Chitwood, Oregon. Mr. Whitney has
been engaged to destroy the moles
which have threatened to undo to a
large extent the work of beautifying
the grounds of the Lewis and Clark
Centennial Exposition at Portland.
For a time it was feared that the
beautiful lawns on the exposition
grounds would be spoiled by the
borings of the moles.
In his work of extermination, Mr.
Whitney uses a method which he him
self discovered, and which he declares
to be most effective. The moles are
killed in their holes by gases which
are forced into the burrows by the ex
plosion of a patent cartridge. The
cartridge is lighted, thrust into the
mouth of the hole, and then covered
over with dirt, the dit being stamped
down hard. When the cartridge ex
plodes half a minute later, tho smoke
and gases engendered are forced to
every part of the burrow, and the
molo dies whorevor ho happens to be.
Mr. Whitney, the inventor, is an
interesting old man, and talks of his
trade modestly, though with entire
confidence in his method.
"The cartridges were used extensively
by Prof. George Coote of the Oregon
Agricultural college," ho said. "By
means of them Prof. Coote managed
to rid tho campus of the college, at
Ccrvallis, of a gopher pest that he
had tried in vain to destroy."
Mr. Whitney admits that where the
animals have bored in soft, loosely
packed earth as in a garden, his
method is less effective, but ho claims
that even in such cases the moles and
gophers can be killed off in time. The
Fair gardener is satisfied with the
work so far.
When Mr. Whitney began his work
at the fair a month ago, he found the
ground everywhere honeycombed with
tho borings of the moles. He lias
already used at least a thousand
cartridges, and will probably have to
use as many more, but when ho has
completed his work there will not bo a
mole hill on tho exposition grounds.

"When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them Scott's Emul
sion. It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
Scott's Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphitcs
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children Scott's Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treatment.

CATARRH.
Symptoms, Effects, Treatment and
Cure by Dr. Darrin at Hotel
Gall, Dallas.
Among the chief chronic diseases
which affect the human frame, catarrh
is the most prevalent, most offensive,
most productive of discomfort and a
variety of distressing and dangerous
complications. Its earliest and most
prominent symptom is a discharge
from the head, varying in its inature
in different cases, and even in the
sanio individual at different times. It
may be a thin, colorless fluid, or of
glairy, starchlike substance. Gener
ally, however, it is thick, purulent, or
muco-purulont matter, either ash-colored
or of a deep green tint, occasion
ally streaked or flecked with blood.
So copious and offensive is the dis
charge in many cases that patients
express the belief that their heads are
"one mass of corruption."
Hawking.
Much of the discharge passes back
ward, either dropping in the throat or
collecting as a tough, viscid.tenacious
phlegm behind and above the soft
palate to the passage between the
throat and the head. Its lodgment
embarasses respiration and creates a
constant and irreslstable desire to re
lieve the discomfort by drawing the
offensive substance into the throat by
a loud insufflation through the nose,
so as then to be able to eject it by a
disagreeable hawking.
Fatal Effects of Catarrh.
The swallowing of catarrhal secre
tions deranges the function of the
stomach, causing indigestion, loss of
appetite and health. Debility, pale
ness, lassitude, headacho and dis-.
turbance of mind soon follow. In some
instances the mental affection is one
of irritability ; the patient being un
duly annoyod by all tho perplexities
of life. In others tho prominent feel
ing is that melancholy, depression of
spirits, when the invalid can see no
hope in the future for himself or his
affairs. Catarrhal deafness is almost
suro to result in a majority of cases.
Offensive Breath.
In the most advanced stages the dis
charges are generally of an offensive
odor, causing great annoyance to
ones friends and the patient himself
while tho sense of smell remains.
This annoyance from the odor becomes
almost beyond endurance, more es
pecially when the disease assumes the
form of ozaena, and the delicate bones
of tho nose become diseased.
Deformity of the Nose.
In cases where the bones of tho nose
become diseased, not only is the offen
sivoness of thobreath greatly in
creased, but there is a liability to
serious personal deformities, among
which are flattening of the nose.
Consumption and Death.
Catarrh afflictions, unchecked by
treatment, are prone to extend by con
tinuity of surface along tho natural
air pussages to the substance of the
lung, thus causing consumption and
death. In this connection it should
also be remembered that the air which
enters tho lungs of a catarrhal patient
is every breath of it poisoned by the
foul secretions of the diseased surface.
By such air the blood cannot be
properly purified and made fit to im
part healthy vigor iu its mending cir
cuit to all and every part of the animal
mechanism. One would suppose that
this consideration alone would be
sufficient to induco every person thus
afflicted to make early application for
relief.
Treatment and Cure.
By the medicinal and electric system
of treatment which Dr. Darrin has
adopted and pursued for years with
uniform buccoss, a complete and
permanent euro of this repulsive dis
order can be effected. Thus he has
demonstrated in thousands of cases,
representing the disease in every form
and all its various stages of develop
ment that his applications aro made
to reach the diseased parts in the most
direct and positive manner, instan
taneously penetrating every cell and
cavity of tho head, communicating
with the nostrils, and subjoctingevery
portion of the membrane to the heal
ing action of tho remedy employed,
without causing the least pain or un
pleasant sensation. The affected cav
ities are thoroughly cleansed from in
crusted morbific matter, tho offensive
smell is removed and relief from other
troublesome symptoms is almost im
mediately experienced. The discharge
soon diminishes, irritation is allayed,
the inflammation subsides, ulcerations
are made to heal, and finally a radical
and permanent cure is effected.
Numerous testimonials have ap
peared in this paper during the past
few weeks from those who thought
they owed it to the doctor, as well a3
hundreds of like sufferers, to speak of
the good work that has been done for
them. Dr. Darrin will be at the Hotel
Gail Dallas, until December 4.
R. Jacobson has made arrangements
to add dry goods to his store at Dallas,
and will send Harry Hollister to that
place to look af t'-r that department of
his business. McMinnville Telephone
