An International tractor on your farm will pull your field machines, haul your products and supplies, furnish the power for thresher, husker and shredder, feed grinder, or serve you in other duties. Simple mechanism, protection of parts, ease and convenience of operation, economy of fuel, complete equipment make Inter national tractors last and satisfy vou longest.

We claim the Jones Wecder will do all of this and more. It can be used in as many sections as wanted, like a harrow. Four sections cut 18 feet 8 inches and pull no heavier than four sections of steel harrow. The blades having a slope of CO0 it will not choke under nor mal conditions. I am now putting up 100 sections. Parties wanting this machine should send in their orders at once. For further information, prices, etc., write or see C. E. JONES Heppner, Ore.

The Willamette Pacific grade be tween Lakeside and Winchester is being thrown up by a sixty ton Bhov el. M. E. Miller, one of the candidates for Labor Commissioner, made his campaign with pictures of factory buildings in full operation.

Byllesby Co. will take up community advertising of the Pacific Coast in connection with each of their 34 plants. North Bend is going after a mun icipal water supply. Salem has raised funds for the an nual Cherry Fair to be held about the end of June. Reports made at the meeting of the State grange showed that in many parts of the state young women were thrown out of employment by the operation of the minimum wage and eight hour law. The Susanville mining claims in the Greenhorn district of Grant county are making a good showing as producers. A movement has been started in Lincoln county to establish a mini mum wage of $60 per month for teachers. President Sproule of the S. P.

Tom Richardson, the Portland Commercial club booster, estimates Oregon has lost 20,000 people on ac count of women not making it pleas ant for newcomers. E. M. Andrews and assocates will expend $100,000 boring test wells for oil in the Coos Bay coal fields. The Forestry department will con struct a bridge across the Breiten bush between Detroit and Niagara, All programs of radical legislation seem to be off in Oregon, and the re cent primaries served a warning to politicians to let industries and bus iness alone in the future. J. A. McEachren & Co., Seattle, have the contract for constructing the first unit of the Astoria public docks, to cost $137,715. The Portland port commission has ordered a new tug and decreed that all dredging shall be thirty feet deep in front of private docks.

The order of St. Francis will erect a $40,000 hospital at Klamath Falls That city also gets a municipal build ing to cost $40,000. Ilillsboro will erect at once a Car negie library building. The defeat of all candidates with fads and fancies in the recent prl maries indicates that Oregon is coming to a more sane condition. With the public mind so engrossed with the Mexican matter, we may get a brief respite from the deluge of re forms which, like the avalenche, seems to gather volume in its de scent. That there are evils and in justices galore is not to be denied; but we really are not half as bad at heart, or even in performance, as we have allowed ourselves to be painted to our own eyes. We have had our shortcomings dinned in our ears so long and constantly that we have come to think of ourselves as much worse than we really are. The re form era found its opportunity when muck raking no longer offered either fame or money to frenzied writers. Persons who lacked the ordinary abilities to command public attention any other way found their oppor tunity, and often a job, in so-called reform movements, and were able to gratify personal vanity by getting their names in newspaper headlines. With no broad knowledge of the sub ject, and without a careful study of the problem which serves them, they pose as experts. Far be it from this magazine to belittle the honest re form of any genuine evil; but while apparently nothing is good enough for the professional reformer, is it not wisdom to give equal prominence to our good men and good accom plishments? Is it not a fact that never in the history of the United States were there so many honest men, honest businesses, and honestly made pro- ucts as today? Was there ever, in any land, since the dry land appeared out of the wilderness of waters, as many or as large benefactions of every kind for suffering humanity as today? Yet how few columns are devoted to the constructive story of the good things being done, and how many pages of destructive articles! The Mexican trouble will not be without its compensation if it only affords some relief- from the ob session of reforms, and even in i measure reforms the reformer. fJet your PRINTING done by THE GAZETTE-TIMES PRIN- TF.IiV, and be sure of having it done RIGHT. liH mi ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT AVegetaWePreparalionBrAs-similaiifrtteFoodandRpi'iiia ting Ute Stomacbs aadBowekif Promotes DiftesttonCbferfut ness and RratjContains rteittw Opium.MorptunE nor Mineral.!

Primaries Favorable to Industries And Business. A review of the state primary el ection from an industrial and busi ness standpoint shows that a great step in advance has been taken tow ard sane policies favorable to development. Conservative candidates have been nominated by the Republicans, Dem ocrats, and Progressives, although the latter party has become almost a negligible quantity in Oregon pol itics. Every candidate who stood for a radical or freak policy in the race for governor has been snowed under and one of the nominees has come out for a program of industrial up building. Those advocating the $1500 tax exemption and the taxation of es tates to support the unemployed on good wages were badly left. Many of the candidates for govern or initiated as part of their cam paign, bills containing radical prop ositions and some of these will have to go on the ballot in November. Some candidates won places on the party tickets because they were in office and had the advantage of run ning against a divided field and are minority nomineps. At the November election there will be further scrutiny of the var ious party candidates and a further weeding out from the standpoint of a return to good business conditions. The result of the primary is to show that the people of Oregon are tired of crucifying industries and en terprises at the bid of political adventurers. A state with raw materials and un developed wealth and with abun dance of efficient laboring men and women only needs fair laws to in vite capital and attain the highest prosperity. Unjust taxation laws and policies of too much interfering with employ ment of labor and capital have done much to create apathy and bad bus iness conditions in this state. The tide has turned and Oregon again invites investments upon fair and equal terms, under which labor will be well employed and all kinds of business will revive.
