year. It will be the largest collect'on
of apples ever placed on exhibition.
Apple of all the standard winter
varieties will be included In this dis
play and every style of pack aud
wrap will be demonstrated. ,
Such proportion has the enterprise
taken, that the management has
found its original plans entirely dis
arranged. It was at first inteuded
to hold the ehow in the state armory
which is the largest in the northwest,
but so many reservations have been
made for space in the various con
testa, that the management waa con
fronted with the option of limiting
the exhibits or enlarging the accom
modations. The basinets men of
Spokane promptly raised 110,000 with
which to constrnct additional build
inns and the entei prise will now be
allowed to grow to the limit of the
inreased accoonimedations.
The prizes to date aggregate $35,000
including cash, orchard laud, im
plements and varioos other kinds of
premiums. It is the intention of
the management to increase the total
prizes to 150,000. Assurances have

riunltare of the federal government

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidnevs once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When health' they remove a boot 600
grains of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy soma part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp
tomspain in the bick, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma

A Common Cold.
We claim that if catching cold could be
avoided soma of the most dangerous and
falsi disesses would never he heard of. A
cold often forms a culture bed for germs ol
infectious diseases. Consumption, pneu
monia, diphtheria and srsrlet fever, four ol
the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are ol
this class. The culture bed formed by the
cold favors the development of the germs ol
these diseases, that would not otherwise find
Iwl.jenU There is little danger, however,
of any of these diseases being contrsrted
when a good expectorant cough medicine
like Chamberlain s Cough Remedy is Used,
it cleans out these culture beds that farm
the development of the germs of these li
eases. That is why this remedy bss provi
so universally successful in preventing nr
monis. It not onlrtures your cold quirk I
but minimises the risk of contracting tliei
dangerou diseases. For tale by M. Clemens

People wbo have had best opportun
ities to know aud understand Theodore
Rotsevelt have said that his great
distinguishing, dominating Intellec
tual characteristic is his highly de
veloped social sense. It is this that
makes him resolve all problems of
government and administration into
terms of ethics, that u akes him preach
sermons in Hate, papers aud from the
stomp, that inspires his marvelous
resonrcefulutss of ideas for bctteriug
the condition of his fellow man. that
leads him instinctively to gather
around him men who understaud
what he is trying to do, and sympa
thize with the amhitiou. It is this
dominating social sense that moves
him cne day to order prosrootion of
some aggregation of eel Huh interests
which he has become convinced is
unsocial, on the next, to press for
passage legislation to prevent dis
crimination by publio service corpor
ations the next, to call a congress of
governors to consider the immense
problem of conserving uatural re
sources and that, finally, has re
cently moved him to appoiut a com
mission of experts for the study of
means to Improve country life, to
make it better, fuller, broader and
more attactive.
The project thos stated may seem
a bit valine aud academio but, re
solved into its elements, it is a great
enterprise whioh in its development
will be foond to Involve the most
practical haudling of a number of
upeo Do problems. It is in one way a
corollary to the proposal for effective
conservation of natural wealth but it
is a more complex aud difficult prob
lem because it involves dealing with
people, rather than with things witn
soul', rather than with acres and
corporations. This problem of the
farm and its economics and its life
has for a long time been interesting
the president. He laid ' the founda
tion of the present movement in the
speech at Lansing over a year ago,
when he told bis hearers that, beyond
the very important business of pro
ducing good crops, the farm mast be
made to ptodnoe the vastly more Im
portant output of good manhood and
good womanhood, all of whioh sounds
well, but still exceedingly vague,
i'o be speoifio, the movement for up
lift of the rural popnlatloo involve
such problems aa these :
Improvement of country schools so
that it shall not be necessary for
farmers to " move to town" ia order
to "give tne children tome school
ing," a piooesa whioh generally takea
both parents and children away from
the farm to the -ultimate misfortune
of parents, children and farm.
Improvement of country roads.
Establishment of social oeuters id
rural communities, and development
of a social life which shall be at
tractive euoagh to counteract the
gregarious instinct always tending
to draw people together into towns.
Improvement and broadening of
the practical usefulness of the church
in the country.
Establishment of libraries, lectures,
farmers' institutes, etc., and general
promotion o intellectuaTdinterests.
Promotion of co-operative 'buying and
marketing among. farmers, which shall
free them from the impositions of the
middlemen aud transportation in
terests. Propagation of intelligent interest in,
understanding of and demand for the
parcels post, so that It may be brought
about.
Encouragement of such forms of
oo operation aa the mutual Insurance
company, the community creamery,
eta.
'Improvement of farm life from
both the sanitary and the esthetio
sides, by inducing interest in better
arrangemeotjof the farm home, plat,
ooostructlon'of more attractive resi
dences and more 'economical farm
buildings with more general diffusion
on the "modern conveniences" than
the farm has tbasVar known.
Helping the woman of the farm to
improve the conditions of ber life,
which by all the students of the prob
lem is eonoeded to constitute the most
difficult problem of all.
These are only a few of the ques
tions whiob ;the "president's "country
life commission most consider. They
are mentioned as among the most
triking, and aa suggestive of the
1 great scope of work tor the farming
I population which is proposed to be
taken'up.

The Lewman Bros, have their third
orop of hay out and shocked, andwill

in the central valley ia very short this

summer. The Applegate river sup
plies nine Irilgating , ditches but
there are hundreds of acres not under
irrigation which in the no distant
tutor will be turned into large bay
fields and orchards. The fruit orop
is also short in this section owing to
the early spring frosts.
Many of the farms of this section
are preparing to put out new orcharos

Say "Ebeu," my strawberries are iu
bloom now, but I won't aay anything
about them till spring, as at that time
I want to tell you some of the
beauties of Provolt sad the Applegate
Valley where no one ever grows old
and where all is peace and happiness,
11 of which is caused by looking over
the fields of waving grain, alfalfa,
olover, to say nothing of the lame red
apples which lead the world for
quality andj where the wild flowers
bloom throughout the winter, aud the
mountain scenery is ever new. These
are some of the reasons why "Uncle
Fuller" cannot bear to leave Provolt.
Thomas Lewman was at Applegate
and Williams this week on business.
Dm. Loughrldge aud Smith pass
ed through Provolt Sunday en route
to Thompson Greek where they were
called by the illness of Miss Delia
