MuIkev'B methods of advertising,
reprioted in Monday's Oregonian and
credited to "a Polk county paper,
was clipped from the Hillsboro Inde
pendent. The Oregonian editor Hhould
have written "Washington" instead of
"Polk."
Editor Bennett, of the Dalles Opti

editor that ho won't play in the

Those who consider Senator Fulton
too closely connectid with the land
fraud ring to bo a suitable repre
sentative of Oregon at Washington
desire tho candidacy of only one strong
Republican In opposition to Fulton,
knowing that there is weakness in
more than one anti-Fulton ticket. Let
us away with all rings, and nominate
and elect a man who could do some
thing for Oregon and not be forever
bothered with llxing up broken
political fences, so much so as to lose
sight of the fact that Oregon Is at
present more in need of good, sub
stantial, influential repicsentatives
than inero politicians constantly
employed in self-aggrandizement.
Woodbum independent.
Tho shooting of Clarence Fisher in
a field near Sinitlilield is one of
those deplorable accidents for which
no ono can be blamed. Healthy and
normal young Americans will have
sport and recreation, and many of
them llnd their chief pleasure in the
manly and healthful sport of hunting.
Guns are dangerous weapons, and
accidents will sometimes happen in
spite of the greatest care and pre
caution. The only blunders for which
there aro no excuse are those of ono
hunter foolishly pointing a gun at
another, or of a hunter mistaking his
companion for an animal and reck
lessly filing before he has discovered
his mistake, Neither of these blunders
caused the death of young Fisher, and
no blame can attach to anyone for the
sad accident. Tho sympathy for the
family of tho dead boy is deep, and it
is even greater for the young man who
was the innocent causo of his com
panion's tragic end.
RETURNS FROM KANSAS
Attorney B. F. Jones Prefers Oregon
to Any Country He Saw On
Mis Trip.
Hon. B. F. Jones, of Inde.endence,
waa a business visitor in Dallas yes
terday. Mr. Jones arrived homo Hat
unlay from Iavcnworth, Kansas,
where he appeared as counsel in acase
in tho United States Court. While in
Kansas, ho spent a few days at his
old home In the city of Lawrence, and
there visited a brother whom he had
notseeu for 37 years. Be says his na
tive city and tin- surrounding country
have made great growth and develop
inent, that portion of the state being
largely devoted to fruit raising.
"When 1 left Kansas City ,17 years
ago, it was a town no larger than Dal
las," said Mr. Jones. "Now it has a
population exceeding a quarter of a
million. Other cities in the middle
states have grown In like proportion.
Considering this growth in tho older
and less favored states, just think
what a future is in store for the (.ties
and towns of Oregon ! 1 predict that
Portland will be a city or .Wo.ooo vople
In loss than 20 years, and that other
cities will make a like rapid growth.
ThepcoploorOrogon do not appreciate
what a really wonderful state they
have, and they cannot fully realize
theiradvantages until they have taken
a trip through the .astern and middle
states. Oregon is the banner state of
the 1'iiion, and the people have hardly
begun to develop its Wonderful re
sources.

$100 more than this piano would cost

that if her churn is sour it will taint the

a churn, fn the stomach and digestive

then that if this stomach-churn is foul it

The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
