Salem.— The official returns from the recent election give Chamberlain a plu rality of 1,522 over Cake for United States senator. While the official can vass has not been made, Secretary of State Benson has tabulated the figures from the different counties, and the result is definitely known. There are some of the abstracts yet to be cor­ rected by the county clerks before the official canvass can be made. The o f­ ficial returns gave Chamberlain a gain of 100 votes in Crook county, as com­ pared with unofficial reports. The total number o f ballots cast was in the neighborhood of 115,000, the ex­ act number not being reported by all counties. Since there are some voters who do not mark their ballots as to all offices, it is not possible to determine from the number of votes for any offico the total number of votes cast. The largest vote was that for senator, which was as follows: Lincoln County Makes G ood M ove for Higher Education.

This is by far the largest plurality ever recorded for congressman in either district. The plurality, however, is about 4000 short of the plurality for Roosevelt over Parker four years ago.

Water S oon Ready fo r 2 0 ,0 0 0 A c r e , o f Arid Land. Hermiston.— The dam of the Uma­ tilla project is practically complete and the distribution is nearing completion as rapidly as men and teams can do the work. In a few weeks nearly all the men who have been employed on the project will have departed and one of the largest and best i r r i g a t e schemes in the northwest will be in shape to water 20,000 acres of arid land. J. T. Whistler, chief engineer on the project, has already left for Portland, where he will open an office, having resigned -his position with the United States recla­ mation service. D. C. Henny, supervising engineer for the reclamation service, has stated that he expects Secretary James R. irfield here to visit the project about _ _ly 15. He will doubtless make a tour of inspection o f the various proj­ ects and his visit here will doubtless result in helpful suggestions, to the set­ tlers. He will be the gvfest of the board o f directors of the Water Users’ association while here. Newport— Lincoln jcounty marks an­ other step forward by providing a high school for the young men and women who have just graduated from the com­ mon schools. The county court has issued au order giving both Newport and Toledo money to establish high school courses immediately, though the question as to where tno school will eventually be located was left to popu­ lar vote two years hence. Events have been coming thick and fast the past two months on Yaquina bay. The organization o f a commer­ cial club was almost instantly followed by a vote to establish a high school, and at the same time a large influx of capital caused large changes o f hold­ ings of property and promoted building in Newport till now some $20,000 of new buildings are under way. T O M A T O E S PAY W ELL. Grants P a s. F arm er. Double Their A creage. Grants Pass.— The tom ato industry of Rogue River valley has made rapid strides, particularly since the erection o f the cannery last year, and the small farmer and berry-raiser have found it profitable to set out idle land with the young plants. This year's acreage will be double that of last year, and it is anticipated that it will increase in like manner for several years, for the reason the can nery has a capacity te take all the grow ers can produce for the next five years; in fact, it is understood that the conipapy will contract tr that effect. The plants do well here when planted in row s five and six feet apart, and planted in this manner they will usually produce from 20 to ■40 tons an acre, and find ready mar­ ket at $10 a ton for canning purposes. The necessary expenses for harvest­ ing and marketing are $25 an acre. The tom ato plant, if properly culti­ vated, will grow from four to five feet high, and cover a proportionate space. Visitors who have looked over the field where the matured plants arc- laden with fruit, have remarked that they looked m ore like trees than vines. During the picking season which opens in August and extends through Novem ber, men, w om en and children are em ployed to harvest the crop. O w ing to the soil and rank growth o f the plant, many find it necessary to prune the vines after they have bloom ed, so as to divert the energy o f the tree into the fruit instead of vine and foliage. All raisers use racks. This keeps the fruit clean, holding th e 'v in e off the ground and preventing rot. It is estimated that $200 can be realized as a net profit upon each acre. Digging Artesian Wells. Klamath Falls.— A year ago there were no artesian wells in W o o d River valley. N ow there are twelve wells, flowing steady streams. The temper ature of the water is 07 degrees, and those familiar with the requirements pronounce W o o d river section an ideal location for milk condenseries on account o f the supply o f ice cold water, the grasses, and the general health o f the stock. At present lack o f transportation makes a condensery an impossibility. Many m ore wells will be dug this summer, pipe having already been shipped from Klamath Sue Road for Lack o f Car*. Pendleton.— The first suit filed in O regon against the O regon Railroad & Navigation com pany under the provisions o f the law passed by the last legislature, giving shippers dam ages for failure on the part o f a railroad to supply cars was filed in the Umatilla county circuit court The plaintiffs are Martin & Riggs, of Milton.

When the blood is pure and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth, and free from all blemishes and eruptions; but when some acid humor taken root in the circulation, its presence is quickly manifested by some form of skin disease. The skin receives its necessary nourishment and strength from the blood. When, however, this vital fluid becomes a humor-laden stream, it can no longer preserve the healthy, natural appearance of the skin, but by its acrid, impure nature continually irritates and inflames the delicate tissues and fibres and keeps the cuticle in a diseased and disfigured condition. External applications cannot reach the blood, aud therefore arc; beneficial only for their ability to reduce inflammation, and assist in keeping tlie parts clean.
