A recent improvement in sprinkling wagons bids fair to revolutionize road and street sprinkling in the country , where there is no water system to sup ply water from hydrants. Heretofore it has been the custom to erect pump ing plants, or to pipe water from dis tant points to stations alone the road at such distances that the load at one of I these stations would last until the j wagon reached the next station on its trip. This plan makes neccsearr the expense of piping, tanks, wells, horse powers, etc., and has always . been a very considerable item of expense, and more or less of an obstacle to having roads well watered. The improvement consists in attach ing a gasoline engine and centrifugal pump on a platform at the rear of the sprinkling wagon so that water can be taken from any convenient source. A snction hose with foot valve is attached to the pump which can be lowered into a tank, creek, watering trough, or an) water source. The wagon driver then, starts the engine, and in from six to ten minutes his wagon is filled. The illustration shows a wagon and" pumping outfit jnst completed by the , Hercules Gas Engine Co., of San Fran- Cisco and now in use by the Supervisors of Tulare county upon the roads near Visalia. It consists of an improved type of an I ordinary sprinkling wagon, and a plat form built at the rear of the tank upon which stands a 9 E. P. Special Her cules Gasoline Engine geared to a 8 incb centrifugal pump. From this pump runs a rubber suction hose and discharge pipe into the tank. The tank holds 13,000 gallons of water which wjll be filled by the pump in six min utes under ordinary lift, or not to ex ceed ten minutes lifting 20 feet, and at a cost of about 3 cents for each fill ing. The uses to which this improve ment can be put are not confined to road sprinkling, but it is applicable to any purpose where water has to be hauled, as, for instance, supplying, threshing machinery or conveying water from one point to another for any pur pose. The simplicity of the engine makes its use perfectly safe and relia ble, as it is automatic in action, all that is needed being to open the valve admitting the gasoline, and to give the wheel a start with the hand. It is durable and not at all likely to get out of order, requirng neither engineer nor machinist to keep it in condition for work. Sprinkling country roads has been considerable of a problem, and it is be- , lieved that this improvement will go far towards an economical solution of . it. The Hercules Gas Engine Works of San Francisco, furnish these wagons and engines in any desired capacity, and fully guarantee them in every way. 100 BEWABO, 100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there Is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all ltsstages and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure Is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional dis ease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken Internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys tem, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature fn doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that tbey offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Bend for list of testimonials, Address, F. J.

Faots established sooner or later cob trol wheat values. Speculation may temporarily advance or depress values, but in the end the laws ot supply and demand are sure to assert themselves and control values, It has been a self evident proposition for several weeks past that conditions warranted higher values. Speculative influences have repeatedly driven prices downward, bat the markot has rebounded with the buoyancy of a cork upon the water. The news announcements ot the week have been uniformly favorable to high er values. Crop advices at home indi cate less than an average acreage seeded to winter wheat, owing to the pro tracted drought, which has been broken only in certain sections of the winter wheat belt. Receipts at primary points are falling off and promise from this on to prove smaller than last year. Ex port clearances continue large, 6,691, 000 bushels for the week, which is largely in excess of our exportable sur plus weekly. The export demand shows no signs of diminution. On the con trary, it is urgent and increasing, the last few days of the week having re sulted in very large sales for export. Foreign advices continue extremely bullish. The reports of our own con suls in Europe more than confirm the maximum estimates of European im port requirements. Advices from Lon don assert that Mediterranean ports are outbidding England for Russian wheat The French chamber of deputies has been petitioned to reduoe the import duty on wheat, and some action in this direction will probably be taken sooner or later, althongh not necessarily at present, Russian advices, although al ways unreliable and largely mythical, are extremely bullish and must neces sarily have some foundation on fact. The Argentine crop ia still an nnknown quantity. Reports are conflicting. Drought conditions have prevailed. Locusts have caused some damage, and in the absence of reliable reports it can not be assumed that the crop will be a large one in yield. Local speculative conditions are extremely favorable for higher values. Stocks on contract grain are very small, practically exhausted, and there is no immediate prospect of their being replenished. We can dis cover nothing in the situation at home r abroad warranting any declines in values, and would regard any decline as but temporary, unwarranted, and therefore a good speculative opportun ity to buy wheat, the final outcome of which we anticipate to be much higher prices.

The two warehouses in Mission, Umatilla county, have reoeived 400, 000 bushels of wheat this season. About half of this has been shipped. An artesian well that is being snnk on Fred Haine's Cow creek ranoh, in Harney county, is now down 480 feet, and the water has risen to within six inches ot the surface. The work on the railroad bridge across the Santiam river, between Spi cer and Soio, is progressing. All of the piers have been completed, and the other work is being pushed. Joseph Vey, sheepraiser of Butter creek, Umatilla county, lost 900 of his 14,000 head of sheep while his bands were ranging 'on the mountains be tween Grand Ronde and Hilgard re cently.

It was reported in Salem last week that the surveying party now out in the Cascade mountains, back of the San tiam country, operating under State Senator Aloazo Geaner, of Marion county, had made a rioh find of gold bearing quarts.

Unless more shipping is done soon, it will be neces sary to raise the roofs. Three families of Norwegians ar rived in Coquille a few days ago, ad ding to the population, somewhat.

Pasco horse dealers shipped 250 head of "beef" horses to Linnton this week for the cannery. ' The Spokane city sinking fund com mission has recommended the issue of $300,000 in municipal bonds to take up outstanding warrants. Throughout Eastern Washington thousands of sacks of wheat are lying in the fields, because of the lack of storage room in the warehouses. In Sprague 6,000 bushels of wheat re being marketed daily. The Sprague roller mills do s business of $300,000 annually, and the business men want a bank. The Northern Pacific Railway Com' pany paid to the Cowlitz county treas urer last week $2,105.92, which was one-half of the company's personal taxes for 1897. The Moxee Company, in Yakima county, is trying a sage puller that re quires four horses and two men to op' erate it, but the machine clears easily six more acres a day.
