United States Senator McNary, upon his return to Sulem from a trip through Eastern Oregon announced that at the next session of congress he will offer an amendment to the food control bill specifying definitely one or more points on the Pacific Coast as primary markets for wheat. The season of 1917 will be remem bered by many Hood River growers as the year of big apples. Varieties that usually run to small sizes have devel oped big specimens this season. On the East Side ranch of Felix Vonnegut a number of boxes of Jonathans, run ning 72 to the box, were harvested. Nineteen road districts, created from the old, unwleldly districts have applied for special elections for road funds, and the County court named November 24 as election day in all precincts within the 19 districts. Ten of the new districts are on the Coos Bay side of the county and nine in the Coquille valley. Night schools to teach alien resi dents English and the principles of government will be opened in Astoria next Monday evening. E. M. Hussong will be principal at the Taylor school and Miss Anne Lewis will be principal of the night school at Adair. It is ex pected that two assistants will be named for each school. Attorney General Brown has been asked by the State Fish and Game commission for information as to whether it can legally sell about 200 deer hides which are alleged to have been illegally shipped into the state from Montana by G. W. Ross and a number of associates. Ross was ar rested a few days ago at Albany. At a recent meeting of delegates from the various granges in Clatsop county, a. resolution was adopted au thorizing the County Pomona Grange to appoint a buying and selling agent to represent the grange members. This agent is to be located in Astoria, and will sell all the produce raised by the grangers and purchase the supplies they require. J. A. Turner, representing the Pa cific Potato Starch factory, has been in Gresham for the past few days in teresting farmers in raising potatoes, from which the starch factory will take the culls and use them in making starch. He is making an effort to se cure signers for 1000 acres of pota toes, for which 50 cents a hundred pounds is guaranteed. Bean growers in the Upper Coquille valley who had out extra acreage this season and garnered heavy crops, do not find a ready market for their prod uct, since the buyers who in other years absorbed the offerings in this vicinity are not purchasing freely. The slowness of the market is attrib uted to the uncertainty of the food control propaganda and buyers are ex pecting price-setting to be announced. According to reports reaching Klam ath Falls, the California gold rush is again on. The wild times and big rush of '48 and '49 probably will not be repeated, but there is a big move among miners to stake claims in the Klamath river bed, below the big Copco dam, 45 miles southwest, which has juBt been completed by the California-Oregon Power company. Since the water has been turned off to fill the dam, the sands of the river bed have been exposed so that they can be panned for gold, and it is reported that good money is being made by miners there. Umatilla county's tax levy this year will be "J mills, the same as last year, despite the fact that the County court has to provide $8000 for the expenses of an election, $7000 increase in the road fund and $1800 for a county agent. Mrs. W. L. Davis, 57, of Fossil, es caped death Friday morning when she fell into an abadoned well. In falling she knocked considerable earth loose and this helped to give her a foothold. She stood in water nearly to her shoul ders until help came. A Medford rancher recently adver tised for acorns, for which he offered to pay 1 cent a pound. The first day he received 1136 pounds. Boys from all parts of the country came in with acorns in sacks, carts, bags and boxes. Other ranchers have now taken up the idea and there is reason to believe that hundreds of Rogue River Valley hogs will be fattened on acorns this fall, with a consequent saving in corn and wheat. Though 30 fires started in the San- tiam national forest the past season, the loss in timber was the lowest in years. Only $1262 worth of green timber was burned. In the budget of the Coos County court prepared this week, $10,000 was included as one-third of the cost of constructing a bridge across the Co quille river at Coquille. The city has completed negotiations for the right of way within the city limits and donated it to the county. Hood River will have a new electric theater after Ferbuary 15 with a seat ing capacity of 500 persons, according to an announcement made by Arthur Kolstad, local film play man The new playhouse will be known as the New Liberty. The first bounty on a coyote Claimed in Linn county in many months was paid at the county clerk's office in Al bany Saturday to Michael Wilkins, of Harrisburg. Wilkins caught the coy ote in a trap set for other game, These animals are now very scarce in the Willamette valley.

If you must have your meat every day, eat It, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys In their efforts to expel It from the blood. They become slug gish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick head ache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue Is coated and when the weath er is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi ment, the channels often get sore and Irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night To neutralize these Irritating acids,, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste b-et four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar macy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine, This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lit'iia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer Irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts la inexpensive; cannot In jure, and makes a delightful efferves cent lithia-water drink. Then They Felt Small. It was a wet, miserable night, and the car was crowded.

Here's an Old-time Recipe that Any body can Apply. The UBe of Sage and Sulphur for re storing faded, gray hair to Us natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive, Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derful effect. But brewing at home Is muBBy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 60 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound," you will get this famous old preparation, Improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with It and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an other application or two, It becomes beautifully dark and glossy. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not Intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of dis ease. Hens. A schoolboy, writing a description of hens, said; "Hens is curious animals; they don't have no nose, nor no teeth, nor no ears. They swallowB their wittles whole and chew it up with their crops in their chests. The outside of hens is gener ally put into pillows of made into feather dusters." Indianapolis News. Small Waist. "The Idea is for every housewife to make the waste as small as possible." 'Well, they can t beat my wife for tight lacing. Brooklyn Eagle. A Lack of Restraint Senator Chamberlain, defending the food control bill, said in Washington the other day: How unmeasured the attacks on this excellent bill have been! Now I like measure and restraint. 'Two boys at the movies saw a tragic picture-play, and one of them was overcome. He took out his hand-. kerchief and wept and Bobbed. "'Why, Bill, ye're blubberin'!' said the other boy. "'Well,' sobbed Bill, 'I like to sue person show a little feelln'.' "'Feelin'!' said the first boy. 'Feel- in's all right, but ye don't need to wash yer face In It.'" Philadelphia Bulletin. Rode Right Through. "What's the matter, general."

"For two years I was so sick and weak with troubles from my age that when going up stairs f had to go very slowly with my hands on the steps, then sit down at the top to rest.
