In advanct . 12.00 Single copies In wrappers, 5c, ATHENA. ORE., AUGUST 30 1907 la the Pilot Book Keoord, John P. MoManus gives answer to the ques tion, 'What is a demoorat," by say ing : Io Oregon he is elected to office by those who, enraged over their own defeat or the defeat of their friends in the primary, oan think of no great er punishment to inflict upon the whole people. He thrives on dissen sion. He is to the republican party what the divorce lawyer is to the home." Just so. No more salient and comprehensive answer has ap peared than this from the pen of the suave John. In it he deftly hides the gross misrule cf his party in this state and with his fine Italian hand spreads a coat of whitewash over the party's prize land thieves, grafters and brib era, plaoing the blame of party defeat on the heads of voters who are deter mined to mop up the corruption mess this misrule has brought upon the state. If it takes a demoorat in office to do this, republicans who voted for him are to be commended, and "Mc's" definition of "what is a demoorat may be taken tor granted For the first time in the history of Pilot Book wheat is being hauled into town and stored in a warehouse, from whiob it will be sold to the highest bidder, says the Becord. The amount of grain that will be stored there this year will indioate in small part the possibilities of that region. Without a railroad it is not to be wondered at that no attempt has been made in the past to test the productiveness of sage brush soil, but promised a railroad, though late in the season last year, enough ground was planted to wheat and barley to satisfy the owners of the land that not only wheat could be grown, but a very superior quality at that. Next season the acreage will be considerably increased and the prospeots are that Pilot Bock will soon be known as one of the important shipping points in this county. Cattle are now commencing to move from the northwestern ranges to mar ket and they are selling at about one dollar a hundred more than last year. The range man is finally sharing in the almost universal prosperity. Market receipts at all points indioate that there is a shortage of cattle in the country, and probably the present good prices will continue for some time. The sheep man is still enjoying excellent prices for his sheep and lambs, and, on the whole, the outlook for the raisers of livestock is very rosy. At last the people in the central and eastern states are awakening to thefaot that they will be "a long time dead" and that while they live, they had just as well enjoy the lux uries that nature has provided in the way of climate, pure water, grand soenery and at the same time make good money, rather than wear out their lives in a country where it is barely possible to realize a very small profit on their hard labor. Last year more than 200,000 people from the East purchased homes in the West and this year the number will be doubled. The National Irrigation Congress at Sacramento September 2-7. is attract ing muoh attention. A rate of one fare for the round trip has been made from Portland and all points House Cleaning Time the back-breaking time for the cle nly house-wife, is made easier by the use of The Sherwin-Williams Paints. Paint saves half the labor of house cleaning. Painted wood-work is easier to clean than unpainted wood-work. It doesn't collect as much dirt, and what dirt it does collect comes off easier. Paint this year and you'll have less work next year. . Tho Shtrwin-Williams Family Paint in small cans meets the hundred and one demands for a little paint about the house. Dries quickly. The girls can apply it. Can be scrubbed. Color card3 for the asking. SOLO Umatilla Lumber south, and a fare and a third into Portland from the East. Stop-over privilege without extra cost will be allowed for the Oregon Irrigation meeting at Grants Pass, September 10. 11 and 12. Governor Chamberlain is president of the National Association and the state will send a splendid delegation. The Portland Commercial club onoe circulated 237,000 leaflets in thirty days. The club will begiu soon the circulation of 400,000 some what similar priuta in twenty days. The central feature in this leaflet, a copy of which it is desired shall acoompany every letter that goes ont of Portland and vioinity, is the colo nist rates wbioh shall begin September 1st and continue until October 31, and should by this time be familiar to our Teaders. The East uaed to make fun of the West because it was neoessary for vigilant committees to occasionally remove a criminal, but now there is talk of organizing vigilantes in New York to check the wave of crime that is sweeping over that great metropo lis. , A Linooln preacher delivered a strong sermon upou the necessity of mortals living lives of purity. A lady of his oburoh gave him away as being no Joseph and he was bounced from the pulpit. He p'erhaps did not count himself among the mortals. Saturday approximately 200,000 bu shels of wheat was sold in Athena. Not a bushel brought less than 70 cents and some of it was sold for 70g cents per bushel, and money aggre gating $140,000 was distributed among the farmers. A peouliar disease has been killing tens of thousands of sheep in Wyo ming this summer. The disease has baffled the best efforts of the veterin arians who are now trying to prevent the spread of the plague. The Charming Woman is not necessarily one of perfeot form and features. Many a plain woman who could never serve as an artist's model, possesses those rare qualities that all the world admires: neatness, clear eyes, olean smooth skin and that sprightliness of step and action that accompany good health. A physically weak woman is never attractive, not even to herself. Electric Bitters re store weak women, give strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth velvety skin, beau tifnl complexion. Guaranteed at Wm.
