Not to develop our possibilities To be lazy, indolent, indifferent.' T do poor, slipshod, botched work. " lo give a bad example to young people. To have crude, brutish repulsive manners. lo Hide a talent because you have only one. To Uvea half life when a whole life is possible. Not to be ecrupuously clean in person and surroundings. To acknowledge a fault and make no effort to overcome it. lo .be ungrateful to friends and to those who have helped us. To so through life a pigmy when nature intended you for a giant. To kick over the ladder upo which we nave climbed to our no- sition. To be grosely ignorant of the customs and usages of good society, lo Ignore the forces which are improving civilization in your own country. Notto be able to carry on Intel ligntl conversation upon current topics. To shirk responsibility in poll tics, or to be indifferent to the pub lic welfare. SHIPPER TALKS To know nothing of the things we see, handle, and enjoy every day of our live. To be ignorant of the general bis tory of the world and of the various countries. Not to know something of the greatest Leaders, reformers, . artists, and musicians of the world. Not to have intelligent know! edge of the general affair of the world, and the inter-relations of nation. Foot Ball Game. The Independence public school foot-ball team, played a very in teresting game with the foot-ball team from the publio school at Mc Minnville Saturday ' afternoon. The game was played . on the home grounds, resulting in a . score of 50 in favor of the visiting team. The little fellows drova up from McMinnville Saturday morning, and several did not return until Sunday, having stayed over .to en joy the dance Saturday night UNHEALTHY' KIDNEYS. Dr. Darriu Says That Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and do not Know it. Thinks West Side Shippers of Live Stock Don't Get Fair Stake. Would Like Car Standard Size and More of Them to Meet Present Demands. (Dallas Itemizer) Yes." said Dr. Damn to our reporter, "kidney and bladder dis eases are more prevalent than most people suppose. The symptoms are so numerous and different that thousands suffer and do not dhv cover the real cause of their troub- e until they are in the fatal grip of Bright' disease or diabetes. The warning of kidney trouble is backaches, aching pain over the hips, swollen ankles, sediment or deposit in urine, bloody or highly colored urine, Bcanty urine, vora cious appetite, thirsty, mouth dry, tongue furred and swollen, weak ness and wasting of flesh, skin pale, waxy or dry, bad odor of per spiration and puffnesB under the eyes. Advice and treatment should not be neglected by those having any of the above symptoms, which can be easily cured, otherwise will re sult in a fatal malady." "I have for years," continued the doctor, "made a specialty of successfully treating all forms of bladder and kidney diseases, and will be pleased to talk with anyone regarding their case and give my candid opinion, or render any ser vice they may require," Editor West Side Enterprise: I see by jour valued paper that Brown Bros, are on their way to Portland market with 1140 head of mutton sheep and note the com ment that other stockmen ship their sheep and hogs and will watch the venture of Brown Bros, with interest. Whether or not it is cheaper than paying freight rates, the stockmen are conversant with the disadvantage of driving sheep through a thickly settled country a it is from Corvallis to Portland but shippers must protect their trade, and make tho best of the situation as they find it. At pres ent, and for, the past three months it haa been impossible for any of the shippers on the west side divis ion to procure stock car with any reasonable notice to the railroad company. Orders placed 8 to 10 day before cars were wanted, has been no assurance that the shipper would have even a ghost of a chance of getting stock cars, when often there are more cars, wanted at one point or station than tbey have on the entire division. When shipper have made complaint to the Manager of the Southern Pa cific company, it is admitted that the reason that they cannot 6upply the demand is that tbey have not the cars to handle the ehipments offered. Browns have enough sheep on the road to fill all the double deck cars the company has on this division. The 1140 head will fill seven double deck care of the Southern Pacific company and that is all they claim to have. And part of these the shippers decked for their own convenience. They are below the standard size used by other companies. It takes three double deck car loads of the South ern Pacific company to equal two of the other companies running in this state. It is very little short of cruelty to animals to load sheep in the Southern Pacific double deck cars. They are entirely too low if sheep gets off its feet. When it is down it is impossible for the others to pass over it. The aver age Cotswold or Lincoln sheep can not stand with its head in a natural position not having room to raise its head above the level of its back and the backs of many of them rub the top of the deck and the death rate in shipp ing is much greater than on other roads. All ether coast companies furnish cars that are much higher and more humane for the stock. So you see it is not a choice with the shippers in regard to cost of transportation so much as it is to protect their trade for eastern Ore gon shippers are not placed at the disadvantage of the valley shippers. They have standard cars and other conveniences tne managers oi me roads for that part of the state pride themselves in giving live stock shipments quick service; furnishing as good cars as are fur nished in any state of the Union, bedded with sand by the company and kept in first class condition. But shipper here often have to go to the expense of repairing the Southern Pacific cars before they , . . rv-1 1 can Doara mem. io snippers concede we get no service like the trade demands; in fact we are handi-capped in a manner that is very detrimental to the livestock nteresta.
