su ffe n g e the outcome is being watched with unusual
interest.
How many acres now considered waste land could be
reclaimed by proper drainage? Every foot o f produc­
tive land will soon be in greater demand and when
that times comes, proper drainage will be no smalt
factor.
A little more rain than we want right now means a
little more weight in the orchards than we actually need
next summer. But then people seldom kick at real
troubles anyway.
If Oregon dosen’t get the right man for governor
ir will not be due to any “ bulls” in the political market.
It will be a greater danger not to sell ourselves, while
thinking we are taking advantage o f a bargain offer.
It is said that old Dame Fortune never takes her
daughter, Opertunity, a’ courting; but that she per­
mits callers at any hour.
This sounds good. Eleven car leads o f prunes have
just been shipped to Europe from Douglas County.

HE successful advertiser

thing they want to know.
Some years ago, through a
political disagreement be­
tween a publisher In Phila­
delphia and a big advertiser,
tlie big advertiser’s page ad­
vertisement was withdrawn
from one daily paper. That
paper's circulation dropped
off tremendously within a
week. The women wanted a
paper that would give them
the news of bargains, the
news that would save money.
The methods that are suc­
cessful in a big way will be
successful when modified to
suit tbe couditions iu a small
way. Has your store made a
price reduction to get rid of
odds and ends? It would in­
terest possible customers.
Tell tbe news of your store
to your public. If you have
some particularly choice ap­
ples or potatoes, a new pat­

public. Be specific and give

Forest Grove, George Vannort-

itted to membership.
He si 86 years of age and his equal
mental and physical efficiency is
Idom ever seen in a man his age.
s memory o f the stirring war
tnes through which he passed and
tes and incidents o f the present
mid do a man o f 40 credit.
He has never bathed in any myth­
ical waters or taken any medicine.
He has never worn glasses and his
vision is perfectly normal. Mr. Van-
nortwick has led an active, vigorous
life as a soldier in the rebellion for
three years and a half and a farmer
at active work until a few years ago.
“ When were you born,” asked the
writer; “ September 4, 1828 at Newark
New Jersey,” came the reply like a
flash from the almost nonagenarian.”
His memory is faultless.
A t the age o f 17 he went to Illinois
where he engaged in farming. He en­
listed in the Civil War and among the
men he fought under was Gen. Custer.
In one battle while he was carrying
the flag he was shot in the hand and j
still bears the scar as a badge of
heroism. In Mississippi he did without
bread, living on fresh pork for 35
days. Salt sold at $36 a bushel.
Mr. Vannortwick was married to
Miss Lucy Ann Goednough of Fulton,
Illinois on Valentine day, 1854, and
the old couple had a happy celebra­
tion Saturday. They are the parents j
o f 11 children. He has been a Mas­
on for 37 years and after leaving H i-' ’
inois farmed in Kansas until coming
to Oregon five years ago.
