A RELIABLE SETTLERS
GUIDE TO OREGON
Published by Southern Pacific and
Contains Only Facta With No
Glittering Generalities.
The skin of the Angora goat makes
a very acceptable bouse mat when
properly prepared with the wool on,
and that work can"be done on the farm
as well as anywhere with a reasonable
amount of skill and a good deal of
patience. Elderly men who were
brought op in the "backwoods" of
the Eastern States will remember
very well the excellent tanning wbioh
was done by trappers and the art is
still preserved among the cowboys
on the plains. In tbose days the art
was banded down from father to son
or passed along from one neighbor to
another. In these degenerate days we
have to go to books to learn how to
practice any of the household arts.
The Soientifio American gives the
following directions for preparing
skins for mats :
Make a strong lather with hot water
and soap and let it stand nntil oold ;
then wath the skin in it, carefully
squeezing out all the dirt from the
wool; wash it in cold water till all
the soup is taken out. Dissolve one
pound each of salt and alum in two
gallons of hot water, and put the
skin into a tub sufficient to cover it;
let it soak for 13 hours, and iiang it
over a pole to drain. When well
drained stretch it carefully on a
board to dry, aud stretch several times
while drying. Before it is quite dry
sprinkle on the flesh . side one ounce
each of finely pulverized alum and
saltpeter, rubbing it in well. Try if
the wool be firm on the skin; if not,
let it remain a day or two, then rub
again with alum ; fold the flesh sides
together and hang in the shade two or
three days, turning them over each day
till quite dry. Sorape the flesh side
with a blunt knife and rub it with
pumice or rotten stone.
Commenting on this recipe the Ore
gon Agriculturist says :
"These directions are not quite as
full as they should be. The skin
should be scraped on the flesh side the
first thing. The final treatment after
the Bkin is dry is more dlffioult than
wonld be inferred from the above di
rections. The Original.
Foley & Co., Chicago, originated
Honey and Tar as a throat and lung
remedy, and on account of the great
merit and popularity of Foley's Honey
and Tar many imitations are offered
for the genuine. Ask for Foley's
Honey and Tar and refuse any sub
stitute offered as no other preparation
will give the same satisfaction. It is
mildly laxative. It contains no
opiates and is safest for children and
delicate persons. For tale by H. A.
Rotermund.

If possible, the Passenger Depart
ment of the Oregon Railroad & Navi
gation Company and Southern Pacific
(Lines in Oregon) haa surpassed itself
in the 1906 issue of its new publica
tion, "Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
and Their Resources."
The purpose of the, publication is to
attract homeseekers and invetsors to
the Paciflo Northwest and this publi
cation is undoubtedly the best messen
ger that could be sent by residents of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho to
their friends in the Eattt and Middle
West.
Beautiful baif tones, printed on
superb book paper, make the publica
tion, which contains 88 pages and a
map of the section, a work of art,
but far superior to the typographical
makeup is the contents of the book.
Under many heads covering practi
cally all the resources of the states
are short, pithy stories of what has
been accomplished; not what might be
done, bot aotual facta and figures ac
companied byname and addresses of
well known farmers, who are daily
laying aside an ineoete- that would be
a fort on to an Eastern Agriculturist.
Wm. Mnmy," General " Passenger
Agent of the O. Ri A N. Co. and &
P. Line in Oregon, baa favored tbe
editor with a copy of tbia publication
and informed bim that 'readers of tbis
paper by sending the names and aT
