North ern Facific, Great Northern, or any other roads whose tickets come around by way of Pujret Sound. The Oregon Develop ment League has made the colo nist rates the chief feature of its work. The Fortland Commer cial Club circulated 400, 000 leaf lets with this low rate its centra! feature, and probably no adver tisinff ever done by any state in the Union has shown better re sults. The rates will be on again during March and April, 1908. The Oregon Gxxl Roads Asso ciation which convened at the Fortland Commercial Club Thurs day and Friday was very decid edly the lest attended and most practical groxl roads meeting ev er held in this state and was con sidered by visitors as equal to any similar meeting- yet new west of the Rocky mountains. ! A canvass of the business houses, wholesale and retail, as well as the factories, proves that business has gotten back to nor mal conditions. Many report an increase over last year. There has not been a failure or a sus pension of a single business house or factory in Fortland. The peo ple of the state can depend upon the newspapers of that city giv ing them the facts, and before they get these facts they can de lnd u'xm any news contrary to the above statement being merely rumors. The words of Theodore B. Wil cox, president of the Fortland Flouring Mills, in an address be fore 150 business men at the Commercial Club Tuesday night, when he announced: "The flur ry is over. Will be in the mar ket buying wheat and paying gold for it tomorrow," met with a more enthusiastic reception than any remark that has been made in this city in many years. There is going to be no let-up in advertising Oregon. The ex Ierts of the state gathered at Fortland Tuesday, and there is a determination to increase rather than diminish the gixnl work. The groat apple displays made in the show windows here, in which the excellence of those of Ibxxl River and of the Willamette valley is shown, have drawn thousands of visitors and the en tire population is more convinced than ever that Oregon grows the finest apples on earth. All of our citizens are becoming experts as to the different varieties. A party of twenty-five Fort land apple enthusiasts were guests of the Commercial Club of Mosier last Saturday. The en tertainment included a long drive through the valley and a dinner, The visitors were greatly im pressed with the wonderful pos sibilities of the valley in a V.orti cultural way. the best spelling was awarded to a young student who had receiv ed his elementary education at a country schooL But even the country schools are giving less attention to the matter of correct spelling than formerly, as multi plicity of studies abridges the time formerly devoted to thi fundamental branch and the country boys and girls, like those of the city, are leaving school with a smattering of much rath er than a thoroughness of any. It would be a hard matter for a poor speller to convince the world that he is an educated per son, for correct spelling is one of the best evidences of culture, and there really is little excuse for slovenly orthography. In these days, when everybody i i ... reaus more or less, it is an easv matter to ooserve the form of words, and thus detect any error in one s own spelling. Diction aries are cheap a verv tro! hand dictionary can be had for twenty-five cents, and where there is a growing family of young people, there should be both a hand dictionary for ordi nary use, and an unabridged for more particular definition. A very profitable way to spend the evenings of the coming winter would be to have periodical str ing matches, where several fami- les ot tnends could meet ar r-h other's houses, and find loth en tertainment and culture.

Falmatelr's Confectionery. New Furniture Store. R. V. Hoyt, who assisted in the mechanical department of this office for several months last fall, has opened a new furniture store at Forest Grove and pro poses to show the people of the college town how to do business. Mr. Hoyt is an all-around hust ler, good in any branch of busi ness he undertakes and we are sure he will "make good" in his new undertaking. The Forest Grove News of last week says: R. V. Hoyt, the furniture man, whose store rooms are in the new Patterson building, is certainly showing his knowledge of the proper kind of furniture in the projier place in his window dis play of a dining room furnished with mission furniture. Win dow displays will be a big feature with Mr. Hoyt as he has it ar ranged so that he can make any kind of a room out of the win dow by changing the screens and furnishings. He will put on a modern parlor, bedroom, den and other rooms, and the people will watch his displays with interest. They will add much to the ap- jxarance of the business section. Mr. Hoyt's motto is to please the people. Before coming here he conducted a furniture store in Tacoma. Wilson Whit more Dead. Wilson Whitmore, who died in this city last week, and whose funeral was held on Sunday, was Irnrn in Coshockton county, Ohio, in 1802. He moved to Laurel in 1S71 and had made this county his home ever since, excepting a few years at Goldendale. and later in Hillsboro. He had been married twice, in 1851 to Ellen Cossel. of Iowa, and in 18"S to Relieeca Fleming of Bladensburg, Iowa. The widow, and one son by the first wife. Jacob Whit more. are living and reside in this city. Three children are dead. Thanksgiving is coming and Greer's is the place to get rais ins, currants, citron, and in fact anything you may need for a nice dinner.

The seven tons- $3.500. 000-of British gold that in Chicago has helped to relieve the currency famine, was in 117 plain, stout wooden boxes. Kach box con taincd about $30,000 worth of gold coin and bars, but might have been mistaken for a box of babbitt metaL About 47 boxes were brought over by the Kron prinzessin Cecilie and the rest by the Dusitaria, at top speed. The actual deliveries of these inter esting shipments were attended to with no especial care, but as they were lupged in the bank of ficials eyed the procession of box es with keen interest although at that moment there were over sixteen tors of gold, about $8,000,000, in the subtreasury. To see the masses of currency in the vaults of the big banks, bales of it, sacks of it and boxfulls of it, one had to wonder that any uneasiness had been felt The addition of $6,500,000 new cur rency which Chicago banks will issue will soon be stacked up in those vaults, making a most con vincing exhibit. At the last statement the cash resources of the Chicago banks was $128,552,- 155, a sum which was not dream ed of in the days of Croesus. Chicago has become the center of currency supply for a great ter ritory, however, the shipments of out-of-town banks in Novem navino- exceeded the receiptor-:. about $10,000,000. During the fceven months to Sep tember the shipments exceeded the receipts by S19.676.5S0. The uneasiness, Mlowing the Wall street smashes, is fast subsiding and local banters draw several long breaths in succession and sleep weel o'r.ghts. Ctiurck Dedication.

Mich., gentleman, writing to George T. Angel, pub lisher of Our Dumb Animals, says: "I want to thank you for directing attention in Our Dumb Animals to the dangers of pre mature interment But there is another danger still more immi nent If the modern embalmer is allowed to exercise his craft on a body, supposed to be dead, there is no danger of premature burial, but what of premature embalmment? An old lady who was a burden to her relatives. died in this city a short time ago, at 2 o'clock in the morning. They telephoned an undertaker immediately, who had the body embalmed before 4 o'clock, only two hours after breath was sup posed to have left the body. On ly a few days ago a young girl died, it is supposed from the ef fects of poison, self-administered; but the authorities could tell nothing about it, for the embalm er had filled her system full of an arsenical embalming fluid. Very few people know what they are doing when they give consent to the bodies of their friends being "embalmed." The operator us ually works in a closed room or behind a screen, and they do not see him. If they did they would defer their consent until the body PROHIBITION WINS OUT NO WHISKEY AflfR 190S. Alabama Joins the Prohibition Col umnLiquor Forces Stamped by Women and Children. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 19. Unprecedented scenes were en acted in the senate chamber of the historical capitol of Alabama today when the statutory prohi bition bill was passed by a vote of of 32 to 2. Women and child ren thronged the corridors and even invaded the sanctity of the floor itself, pushing the senators from their seats and giving vent to their enthusiasm by .shouts and cheers that echoed and re echoed through the building. Senators who opjxwod the bill were hissed down when they arose to speak against the mea sure. When two-carloads of Mobile men came to lobby against the bill they found that delegates who favored that measure had filled the senate galleries until not a seat was left It was the plan to crowd them out and it succeeded. Little children stoml The statutory prohibition bill, which was passed today, was in the nature of a compromise be tween the antis and the prohibi tionists.

Children were kept 'out of school today to work against liquor. A New York special says that notwithstanding the reixnt of Surgeon-General Rixey, to the effect that cigarette smoking is becoming a serious imivdiment to robust health in the navy, the department is now loading a re serve supply of cigarettes on board the Culgoa in the Brooklyn navy yard. The consignment consists of 4000 packages of -18,-000 cigarettes. This is a reserve supply of four cigarettes for ev ery man in the fleet In addition to those cigarettes, a gixxlly suj ply has been laid in for every separate "canteen" in the Hoot Fifteen thousand pounds of as sorted chocolates have been laid in reserve.
