such an extent that prunes will baa
total failure in many orchards. Cherries
are hurt to a great extent. Apricots and
peaches are a total failure in a commer
cial sense. Pears aro badly Injured but

new fields a very One crop. Blackberries
never looked better."

Since the G. O. P. has got full sway
again we shall expect to see tbe county
indebtedness reduced at least one-half in
the next tvo years, and taxes reduced
no less than 4 mills. If they will do this
the people have made no great mistake
in electing them, but if tbe do not. then
the officers will not have done their full
duty. But then this is a free country
and ceoule have a right to vote for whom
they please, and since most of the officers
in this county lor tne next term, nave
served daring the paBt two years, they
have certainly given good satisfaction or
they would not have been re elected. So
we can only hope that they will serve
tbe county to the best of their ability
and thus lighten the burdens of the tax
payers of Umatilla county in the next
two years.

that is simple in construction, easily taken apart and put together again
has few parts, is of such wiry material that its parts will hold together
even in an accident, no hollow material to be crushed in by every con
tact; a frame-that cannot possibly be broken; a frame so simple that its
adjusting parts serve as its connecting parts: a one-piece crank in place
of a dozen parts; always ready to give reliable and rapid transportation.
SPECIFICATIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS, j
FRAME. Improved Double
Diamond Frame? Simrjlv a true

frames are constructed of f-inch cold rolled steel rods, the toughest and
strongest metal for its weight known, and the parts are joined together
with steel and aluminum bronze fittings in such a manner that it is
imDossible to brake or anv part to work loose. A marvel of novelty,
simplicity and durability, the greatest combination of ingenuity in bi
cycle mechanism, to build a frame without brazen joints and tubing,

WHEELS. 28-inch front and

AXLE AND BEARINGS.
out, with 148 hardened steel balls. Crank shaft bearings are fitted with
our patent ball cases, which are interlocked and support each other and
cannot possibly come apart while in
ings completely. It has been an acknowledged fact that crank axle .
bearings are susceptible of improvement, as threaded cones or crank ax
les are continually crowding or working loose. We save this entire nuis
ance by having no threaded parts whatever but a clever device in frame
for adjustment, Our invention is most perfect in simplicity and must
be seen to be appreciated. The sprocket and chain are on the inside ot
the frame and ball bearings. Great value is gained by this arrange
ment; ease of running, double wear saved, positive never loose bearings, .
freedom from contact with'chain and sprocket, smooth ; outward, globu
lar ball bearings, less friction and lost motion, hence greater speed.
Then with the jointless "one-piece crank," feet, ankles and trousers are
free from injury. .
ONE-PIECE CRANK. Our great achievement; , by its appli
cation we put two cranks, two pedal

trouble to bicycles is from cranks working loose and pedal axles that,

and made from tough rolled eteel rods, impossible to break. It has been
proven that when other cranks. break from accident, our one-piece crank
will hardly bend.
CHAIN. Humber block pattern, best quality, hardened.
SPROCKET WHEELS. Best drop forged steel. :
REACH. Shortest, 28 inches; longest, 37 inches.
GEAR. 64 or 72, as specified. . - t
FRONT FORKS. Indestructible. Our fork crowns are simply
a section of gun barrel steel turned up to Bize, then bored and bent,
forming a perfect fork crown that cannot be surpassed for strength and
beauty, also giving a support to our solid cold rolled fork rods that just
limit the necessary amount of springiness required in a front fork and
which can only be obtained by use of our forks and crown.
HANDLE BARS. Reversible and adjustable, a marvel of sim
plicity, readily adjusted to any position desired, with best cork or com
position handles. In buying a bicycle it is always a vexed question as
to whether you want dropped or elevated handle bars. ! If you wanted '
one kind you could not have the other. Our handle bar enables you to
have either at will. Will furnish Ram's Horn handle bars.if preferred.
SADDLES. Gilliam, P. & F., Reading, or other first-class make.
PEDALS. Rat trap or rubber; full ball bearing.
FINISH. All parts are enameled with our own special enamel,
rubbed down and baked, giving it a handsome black, glossy appearance.
All bright parts are heavily nickle-plated; these, with the jet black gloss
parts, give a handsome appearance which cannot be excelled.
ACCESSORIES. Each "May wood" Bicycle is furnished with a
leather tool bag, containing pump, wrench and patent oiler.
WEIGHT. According to tires, pedals, saddles, from 27 to 30 lbs.
A PRICE THAT WILL REACH YOU.
Do not imagine because it is not high priced it is hot high grade
We do not use expensive hollow tubing, besides, we belong to no Com
bination or Trust. We own every patent, pay no royalties, manufacture
the entire wheel ourselves and are satisfied with a reasonable profit, em
ploy no expensive racers, but depend upon the good common sense of
the American people to appreciate a good thing when they see it. We
afford to make the price we do, for we expect to Bell ten "May woods"
to ona of any individual make sold. We simply say that the "May
wood" is a perfect Bicycle, containing more originality and genuine
points of excellence than can be found in all other machines together.
The "May wood" has puccessfully passed through the experimen
tal stage. During the past three years we have put out over. 5,000
"May woods," placed in the hands of riders of all classes and widely
distributed through the country. Expert riders and clumsy riders,
