' Application for entrance as 2nd class matter made on July '5, Uuder anr Act ot Oongres of March 8. 1879 cATHENA, ORE.. JAN. 6 ....... 19J1 mong the many creditable Oregon publications received this week we find i tbe Paoiflo Northwest", Oregon's great farm monthly, whiob contains the most complete story ever published on the interior of Oregon. Tbe opening a'rtioleisby Prof. Thomas Shaw, tbe best anthoriity on agrioolture in tbe West and now in the employ of James Hill, having oharge'of tbe experi mental farm work tbronghout tbe ' country covered by the Bill system. Prof. Shaw recently made a 1200 mile ontomobiile trip from Ontario to Med ford, then nortb tbrongb tbe Rogue, - Umpqna and Willamette valleys and Las furnished the Paoifio Northwest with a series of articles showing tbe possibilities of the territory ouvered. His article is followed br one from Addison Dennett who spent two months in the field gathering interest ing data whioh is set forth in Mr. Ben nott4snal breezy style., The Oregon Development League,'1 is given two pages and tbe State Threshers Asso ciation has a full report of its recent convention " :" ' Thousands of pounds of blaok wal nuts and aoorns are being shipped by ibe Government from Arkansas to Dis- L'trict Forester Chapman of Portland to be distributed for seed thronghont the burned over forest areas of the PaoiQo Northwest Foiest rangers will take charge of planting tbe seed and within tbe next qnarter century it is expected Oregon will have great qnantities of hard woods available for furniture making and other uses. A project to oreate a reserve for mole tail deer in the lava bed region of Klamath oonnty has been started and tbe matter will be brought to the at tention of PresidentTaf t. Opposition has developed ,' however, on the part of sheepmen who want to retain tbe lava bed ooontry for winter range. Tbey oontend the deer reserve should be created in the mountains nearby. Anent the asylum muddle, the Wes ton Leader puts more meat . in three lines than is contained in several col umns of editorial matter we have read on tbe subjeot. The Leader says: "A 'deal' is oharged.1 Undoubtedly there was a 'deal.' Jay Bowerman is as full of deals as a rat is of microbes." That Oregon will have a population of 1.200.000 when tbe next oensus rolls around is tbe prediction of R. B. Miller, traffic manager of the Harri man lines in the Northwest. , He tases his figures on the constant western trend of populations as disclosed by former census statistics. He estimates that the United States will have a population of 113,000,000. This ad ditional population, he believes, will ponr westward to find an outlet in tbe vacant agricultural lands of tbe ooast states. Nowhere is there a greater area of nnolaimed land than in Oregon and tbe migration will oover this area as it seeks new territory to ooonjy. Another "deal" recently made by Bowerman which smells to heaven, is the appointment of Armstrong, a Portland Business College man, to a membership on the State Text Book commission. The acting governor loosea over toe neaas oi uregou s edu cators and named Armstrong, who is unknown educationally in tbist state, except as a business oouise specialist. As a result, Bowerman's hair is being brushed the wrong way by tbe edu cational people : of tbe Btuto, who heartily condemn Armstrong's appointment. Wealth in Oregon streams as well as in the fertile soil of the Beaver state is shown by the fignres of the annual take of ;. salmon in Oregon waters, chiefly the Columbia liver. A total of 290,000 cases, . 85,000,000 pounds, was paoked during the past year, having a value or $3,500,000. Seoond-hand hair ought to be cheap er sinoe the Cbibese have . begun cut ting off their queues. Ladies can probably tny their "rats" at a rea sonable figure hereafter, ' as a few hundred million pig tails should make quite a difference in tbe hair supply. The insurreotos of Mexico are win ning some important battles. Perhaps old Diaz will consent to retire and cease to aim to be a permanent president The fellows who oontrol prices of tbe necessities have a good idea of aviation. Tbey sure know how to keep things "up in the air." "Nortbpole" Cook has returned. He stated that be did not lie about bis disoovery of tbe earth's top, but that the shadow of tbe earth's big 'stick had made him mad, crazy, insane nutty, as the street taks. If he bad been Peary's cook on tbe trip and had returned with endorsements from Santa Claus, a credulous world would have paid homage and obeisance to this human ioiole and pitobod in a penny apieoe to make a binnze and marble prize in memory of his achievement. A Mole's Nest. Among common animals few have been less studied In their life history than the mole. Mr. Lionel E Adams says that under the "fortress" which the mole constructs above the surface of the ground will always be found a series of tunnels running out beneath the adjacent field. A curious feature almost invariably found is a perpen dicular run penetrating about a foot below the bottom of the nest and then turning upward to meet another fun. A mole is never found In bis nest, al though it may yet be warm from his body when opened. (Julded by smell and hearing, a mole frequently locates the nest of a partridge or pheasant above his run and. penetrating it from below, eats ihe eggs. The adult mole is practically blind, but there are em bryonic indlciitious that the power of sight in the race bus deteriorated. , "The leading question." said the colonel, "Is the-financial one." "Right." replied the major, "an 1 was just about to ask you to add ?5 to thnt $10 1 borrowed from you yV terday." Uncle Remus' Magazine. "The easiest thing I know of." says the philosopher of folly, "Is to begin to save up some money nest month."

Heroine is purely vegetable containing nothing injurious, and is a gentle harmless purgative. flTPPQ CONSTIPATION, CHILLS AND FEVER, DYSPEPSIA, MALA RIA AND ALL LIVER COMPLAINTS.

" -' A water consumer In a certain city, whose supply bad been turned otT be cause he wouldn't pay, wrote to th department as follows: "In the matter of shutting off the water on unpaid bills your company is fast becoming a regular crystallized Russian bureaucracy, running In a groove and deaf to th appeals of re form. There is no use of your trying to Impugn the verity of this Indict ment by shaking your official heads In the teeth of your own deeds. "If you will persist in this kind of thing a widespread conflagration of the populace will be so Imminent that It will require only a spark to let loose the dogs of war In our. insist. Will you persist In hurling the cornerstone of our personal liberty to your wolfish hounds of collectors thirsting for Its blood? If you persist the first thing you know you will have the chariot of a Justly Indignant revolution roll ing along in our midst and gnashing its teeth as It rolls. "If your rascally collectors are per mitted to continue coming to our doors with unblushing footsteps, with cloaks of hypocritical compunction In their mouths, and compel payment from your patrons this policy will result in cutting the wool' off the sheep that lays the golden egg until you have pumped It dry, and then farewell, a long farewell, to our vaunted pros perity." Everybody's. When to Eat Fruit. To obtain the most benefit from the succulent fruits they should be eaten at the end of the chief meal. Bananas are an exception and may be eaten with ' any meal."' They are very ac ceptable cut in thin slices and eaten with bread and butter Stewed fruits often have their virtues wasted through being eaten at the wrong time. Six or eight stewed prunes half an hour before breakfast are beneficial; so are stewed figs or stewed apples eaten before breakfast. Peeled or anges cut into thin slices so that the Juice Is set free, with sugar strewn over the slices, are not unlike pine apple and form a highly efficacious aid to digestion. Grapes should never be eaten except after the chief meal of the day. Taken when the stomach la comparatively empty, they are a spe cially harmful fruit Family Doctor. o4thena Baker jr Confectionery and Lunch Rjoom Fresh Daily: Bread, Pies, Cakes, Buns. Roll.
