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.

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.

thirty days. The club will begiu
soon the circulation of 400,000 some

The central feature in this leaflet, a

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

among the farmers.
A peouliar disease has been killing

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
