Editor Express:
Having been running through your
state for a month, it gives me pleasure
to say that I am favorably impressed
with It. Have Deen the length of the
Willamette valley, and having studied
it for several years through books,
newspapers and by interviewing those
who had made its personal acquaint
ance I must say, the half has not been
told, and cannot bo told, of Its resourc
es and beauties.. The only way to get
a proper knowledge of It Is to come
here and 6tudy it. I expected to find a
great country; I have found it greater
than I expected.
Your briirht little town. Lebanon.
surely has a promising future, and an-
another ten years' progress may carry
It to a position that will surprise its
most sanguine friends. Oregon suits
me, and lam ready to do my humble
part to help develop its wonderful re
sources. Devin.

him a bottle of Chamberlain' Pain
Balm nnd guaranteed that it would
cure him. He came In atrntn last
night, and as soon as he got inside the
door, began swinging his arms over his
head like an Indian club swinger. I
thought the blamed fooFhad a lit, but
he finally stopped long enough to say:
"Medicine velly fine, velly fine; alio
same make mo feel plenty good."

an equal for sprains, rheumatism,
aches, pains or lame back. For sale by
