Death of Mrs Kramer An official paper, that has an in terest all its own, is the anual report of the First Assistant Postmaster- Geuerul of the United States. The postal service comes to all citizens of the Nation on equal terms, repre senting in this way more nearly the boasted equality of individuals than any other institution of the Govern ment— The Judiciary not excepted. To the millionaire and the wood- chopper, the learned and the un learned, the postal rates are the same. Time is hastened and dis tance annihilated in the workings of this service. No hamlet in all the laud is so unimportant that the muilpouch fails to find it with suffi ciency, while the forces of the de partment are constantly and syste matically in motion in the great cities throughout the working hours of every business day in the year. More than the Postal Department has brought the rural distrets in touch with the suburban with the urban by a free delivery system that has relegated loneli ness and isolation, relatively speak ing, to the realm of past years. G. W. Kramer, editor of the Marshfield Advertiser, received telegram Tuesday bringing him the news of the death of his mother, Mrs. F. B. Kramer, at Russeliville, Arkansas. Monday, Jan. 1. Mrs Kramer had but recently returned to Arkansas from Marshfield where she spent several weeks visiting her son. She came to the bay for her health, which was apparently much benefited by her stay here.— Mail You will not find beauty in rouge pot or complexion which whitewash True beauty comes to them only that take Hollister’s Rocky Moun tain Tea.

None of them has so far been car ried to the point of definite success. Another test of the matter is to be made the coming season at McMinn ville. There can he little dou <t that iu the end there will be enough corn canned here to supply Pacific Coast demands, The finest quality of sweet corn in the United States for canning is now grown in Maine. The summer temperature of Muine is very similar to that of the Wil lamette xalley. The best quality of sweet corn is produced where the summer is not extremely warm. The trouble about establishing the industry in Oregon is that the farm ers here do not ns a rule succeed in raising a large enough crop. The same trouble was met and overcome in Maine where the yield formerly one-third to one-half of what is now octained. Farmers there now ob tain from $30 to $50 per acre uuil in a few cases as high as $100 for their corn. Although our summers are rather dry for corn our soil is naturally mure productive than that of Maine and with experience the farmers here will learn to produce as large or larger crops than are grown there.— Ore.
