He says that the land in the Salmon River valley is very pro ductive, and well adapted to fruit raising and dairying. He raised one cabbage this year that weighed 22 pounds. The country is rapidly fill ing up with settlers, and is destined to become one of the best farming and stock-raising portions of Western Oregon. RUSSIA AT THE EXPOSITION Czar's Ministry of Commerce Cables for Space at Lewis and Clark Centennial. Russian participation in the Lewis and Clark Centennial.at first despaired of on account of the war with Japan, is now assured. Secretary Reed of the Exposition has received a cable gram from the Czar's Councillor of Commerce, Edward Grunwaldt, stat ing that the invitation sent by the ex position has been accepted and inquir ing as to the allotment of space. The cablegram stating that the Russian Empire would make an official exhibit came as something of a surprise, because Russia made no official participation in the World's Pair at St. Louis. Japan arranged several months ago for space and has planned aa elaborate exhibit ANOTHER BUILDING FOR FAIR Mr. and Mrs. Benton Embree, of King's Valley, visited relatives In Dallas last Friday. W. D. DeVarney, of the Independent telephone company, has been out of town this week, looking after the work of connecting up the Independent lines from Corvallis with the Airlie, Kings Valley and other lines. Two more rural lines are also to be con nected along the Philomath route of the company. The net work of Inde pendent lines is rapidly taking in the whole of this section of the country. Corvallis Times. (Jreat Demand For Exhibit Space Makes Additional Structure Necessary. The great demand for floor space at the Lewis and Clark Centennial has made it necessary to construct a new building for the accommodation of exhibitors. The executive committee, at the urgent solicitation of President Goode, has voted to construct an exhi bition palace which will provide 60,000 feet of additional floor space. Nothing has been decided as to location or cost, but it Is expected that at least $50,000 will be expended on the new building. Work will be begun as soon as possible, and the building will be ready for exhibits at least a month before the Fair opens June 1. It is thought that the additional 60,000 feet of floor space will be sufficient for the accommodation of exhibitors. The Christmas Dinner. In spite of the fact that the word dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it will not be fair for many to lay the blame on the cook if they begin the Christmas dinner with little appetite aud end it with distress or nausea. It may not be fair for any to do that let us hope for the sake of the cook! The disease dyspepsia indicates a bad stomach, that is a weak stomach, rather than a bad cook, and for a weak stomach there is nothing else equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla. It gives the stomach vigor and tone, cures dyspepsia, creates appetite, and makes eating the pleasure it should be. Death by Suffocation. B. B. Barnes, a prominent farmer residing six miles southwest of Albany, met death by suffocation in a tile ditch last Friday. The old gentle man was laying tiling in a ditch 10 feet deep, and while working in a stKpicg position was covered up by the falling of the wall, the cave-in coming so suddenly that he was com pletely covered up and suffocated be fore help could be given him.

Five potatoes of the "Yielder" variety tip the beam at 8i pounds. These potatoes were raised by W. G. Campbell on a hill ranch two miles south of Dallas. From the W. W. Miller farm eastof town, Mr. Campbell has secured a sugar beet weighing 22 pounds and 10 ounces. This weight would be con sidered extraordinary for a mangel wurtzel, and few people have ever seen a sugar beet of this size. Local Lewis Society. J. W. Lewis, secretary of the Polk County Pioneer Association, was in Dallas, Saturday. He says that the movement to organize a Lewis Society in Oregon is rapidly taking shape, and that prospects point to a large membership. The management of the Lewis and Clark Fair have named August 12, 1&05. as Lewis Day, and it is expected that the Lewises from all parts of Oregon will gather in Port land on that day to honor the memory of Captain Meriwether Lewis, the leader of the famous exploring expe dition. Mr. Lewis says that people of this name are scarce in Poik county, the only ones he can call to mind be ing his own family, the Lewies on the Luckiamute, and George Lewis, of West Salem. He requests ail the Lewises in the county to report their names to him, and he will forward the list to Portland to bo placed on the membership roll of the state society. Mr. Lewis is a 6on of the late William P. Lewis, one of the prominent early pioneers of Polk county. Legal Blanks for sale at this office. REV. DR. DOANE Rev. N. Doane. D. D., Dean of the theological School of the Port land University, Celebrated His Golden Wedding Last bummer. This worthy man has been at the head of the Methodist church in the Northwest over 40 years. He had a double reason to be congratulated on this occasion as he was totally deaf for years, and in spite of his advanced age, his hearing was restored by Dr. Darrin, now located at the Hotel Gail, Dallas. No one will attempt tc ques tion the reverend gentleman's word, as his unblemished record is well known. He tells his story below in his own words. University Park, Portland, Oregon, April 26, lnw. To whom it may con cern and encourage, to friends who have suffered like myself, the loss of hearing. On April 24th, I called on Dr. Darrin, whom I believed to be a skilled auristand physician, to restore my hearing. He applied his remedies and electricity to nn ear and cured the deafness in a fw minutes. Then he turned his attention to the other ear, which did not seem to yield so readily. For this ear the doctor gave me medicine to use at home, which I am now using. I think it the duty of all who are afflicted to have their hear ing restored if possible, and I know of no one whom I think more skilled than Dr. Darrin. What Further Treatment Did For Rev. Dr. Doane. To the Editor: Some timo ago I said something of regaining my hear ing under the treatment of Dr. Darrin, of which I had suffered for several years. On the first application the deafness of one ear was cured. I applied the medicine faithfully and went again to the do-tor who sucecedxl entirely in restoring the lost sense of hearing, so that when I went out on the street it seemed to be the noiscst city I was ever in. My hearing still remains distinct in both ears equally good. Nehemiah Doane. Mr. Darnell's Experience With Dr. Darrin. For two years prfor to going under Dr. Darrin's electrical treatmont 1 was afflicted with heart trouble, sour stomach, dyspepsia, bloating and pains. Dr; Darrin has cured me. Re fer anyone to me at my home in Med ford. Oregon, or by lotter. I most earnestly commend Dr. Darrin as a skilled physician. J. K. Darnell. Mrs. J. R. Brown, of Pedee, Polk county, has sent us a few limbs of red raspberries which are. well loaded with ripe berries. This is something that can be shown In very few countries at this time of year. Lebanon Advance. For THira Babies Fat is of great account to a baby ; that is why babies are fat. If your baby is scrawny, Scott's Emulsion is what he wants. The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy ; they do not cry ; they are rich ; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable. The fat sur rounds their little nerves and cushions them. When they are scrawny those nerves are hurt at every ungentle touch. They delight in Scott's Emul sion. It is as sweet as wholesome to them. Send for free sample.
