C. H. MORRIS Jeweler and Optician In accordance with the annual cus tom, Mt. Hood division, Order of Railway Conductors, will on Sunday, May 7, hold the annual conductors' picnic n the city qf Portland. Ordinarly the excursions run on that day by the knights of the punch are away from Portland to one oi ine smaller towns for the purpose of giv ing the people of the city an oppor tunity to set out into the open; but this year the order is reversed, and the excursion trains will run into Portland, And there is method in this. The exposition grounds and build ings will be near completion at that time, and the Order of Conductors has arranged to take the exoursionists to the exposition where the visitors can see what progress has Deen maue, bw the magnificence of the exposition, and thus advertise the big rair among the nooDle of the state better than it can be done in any other way. Arrangements have been made witn the railroads and the exposition management for a rate of $1.50 for the rnnnH trip, including admission KliV A. v - i 7 to the exposition grounds.

Harrv L. Dav. eeneral organizer of the WToodmen of the World, is re ceiving congratulations from all sides upon the success or the big vvooamen initiation recently held In Fortiana, when 1000 men were made members of this rapidly-growing fraternal order. Mr. Day will be remembered in Dallas as an active worker for the success of the Woodmen street fair and carnival held here two years ago. A recent number of the Oregon ian says of Mr. Day: 'One of the most esteemed Wood men on the Pacific Coast is H. L. Day, of this city, whose executive ability and success in launching the cam- naiffn which had its culmination last Monday in the installation of 1000 new candidates, will be long rememoerea in Woodcraft. Mr. Day, as general organizer, boomed the campaign, as sisted by an executive committee in thiscitv and an honorary committee in the several camps on the west side of the Willamette River. When the pro ject to swell the membership or the Woodmen of the World by 1000 "new logs" was started here November 1, there were many friends or tne move ment who were doubtful of its success. But H. L. Day, the general organizer, went to work and soon demonstrated that he was like one of Napoleon's drummer boys, who on an historical occasion said : "I cannot sound a re treat. Forward." However, it meant hard work, day and night. Then came the dawning of success. Last Monday the Woodmen of the World owned Portland, and their march about town and initiation of 1000 can didates formed an impressive object lesson in fraternity. The city was in, ffnla attire, and the windows of many of the business houses were decorated with the emblems of woodcraft. Then finme the banauet. when over 600 members were in attendance. The whole event was the most successful occasion in, the history ot the order in Oregon. Mj. Day's admirable woik shows that he is destined for a higher path before long, where his marked business ability, tact and ne judg ment will be of general service to ms fellows." Mr. and Mrs. Dan P. Stouffer cele brated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding at their beautiful home in Dallas last Friday evening by entertaining about 80 of their neigh bors and friends. The house was tastefully deoorated for the glad occasion, ferns in Indian baskets and potted plants being used in profusion. A delightful program was given as follows : Vocal solo, Mrs. J. V. ugiow ; recitation. Mrs. Edward Biddle ; reci tation, Miss Viola Martin. The hours were nassed with music and conversa tion until 11 o'clock, when delicious refreshments were served by tne hnstflss. Mr. and Mr3. Stoufler re wived a handsome cut-etlass bowl and silver-trimmed mirror as a slight tnkftn of the esteem in which they are he(t hv their many friends.

WILL OWN THEIR HOME Dallas Woodmen Purchase Fine Property of M. E. Church, South. Set a Good Example. We have heard people say they are willing to. clean up and Improve their premises If their neighbors would do likewise. The way to do is to make as many improvements as possible in and about your homes, wmcu wm make your careless neighbors so ashamed of themselves tnai mey ' soon fall into line. There have been instances where one property owner wrought wonderful changes ior uie betterment of a large neighborhood by that method. An enterprising pei an u-iii not wait until his neighbor joins in the matter of cleaning up.- Aniity Advance. Take your prescriptions to the Stafrin drug store. The Better Way The tissues of the throat are inflamed and irritated; you v. onH there is more lrrita- tion more coughing. You take a COUgtl mixture anu u .aov irritation for a while. You take SCOTTS EMULSION and it cures the cold. That's what is necessary. It sootnes trie throat because it reduces the ;Mt,'nn ? cures the cold because it drives out the inflammation; builds up the weakened tissues because it nourishes thern back to their natural strength. That s ; how Scott's Emulsion deals with ; a sore throat, a cough, a cold, or bronchitis. Tho Dallas Woodmen Building Association was organized at a regular meeting of Dallas Camp, No. 909 W. O.

Polk and Yamhill county goat raisers are jingling twenty-dollar gold pieces in their packets and con nrrnhlllflfinff themselves upon the suc cess of their efforts to realize the highest possible figure for the 1905 mohair clip. The prices paid for the pools of the two counties are in excess of any quotations yet made in the open market, and it is doubtful if any mohair of a similar grade will bring a better price this year. The two pools aggregated 90,000 pounds, and will put about $30,000 Into circulation in Polk and Yamhill counties. The sale of the pools was held In Brown's hall at 1 :30 o'clock Saturday afternoon. About one hundred goat men were present, and all the leading ; mohair firms on the Pacific Coast were represented among the buyers. George McBee, president oi uie i County Mohair Association, acted as. auctioneer. The Yamhill pool, con- -sisting of 40,000 pounds, was pur chased by Bernheim & Company, ot Portland, at 32J cents. The association, retains the sacks, which were held at. 25 cents each. The Polk county pool of 50,000) pounds was bid in by H. U .teuton, oi Dallas, at 32J cents. The bidding oa each pool was started by William. Brown, of Salem, at 31 cents. Both banks in Dallas wore kept open until a late hour in the after noon to give growers wno nau uuefiuj pd their mohair an opportunity to cash their checks. A large amount of money was paid out by f-acn uaniv. Mr. Fenton is now busy receiving hair in Dallas, and later on will visit tne various warehouses in the county for the same purpose.
