The United States Agricultural Department
has issued (and circulates free) a valuable report
giving the results of elaborate experiments made
by and under the direction of the Department,
which show the great saving from baking at home,
as compared with cost of buying at the bakers.
All bread, cake, biscuit, crullers, etc., are very much
f resher;cleaner,cheaper and more wholesome when
made at home with Royal Baking Powder.

IN HOOD RIVER VALLEY
That Hood River lit gottlng Iti share
of ttie oolouixt tralilo ia indicated by
the fact that ten tumilies have arrived
here this week looking for land. The
newconmri are from Minnesota. North
Dakota, Kansas and MisHOiiri. They
are anxious to no into apple urowin,
and real estate men are busy showing
them over the valley. Kaon day re
cord several piirehaHOi of land which
U uow set to apple trees or will be
oloared for that purpose, and indica
tions are that there will be a still
larger duinand for fruit laud.
Tbe houieseekers who have arrived
say many more will oome as soou as
sprln opens in the Middle West, peo
ple there being slow to believe that
spring is so much earlier here.
Real eHtate purohaties are not con
fined to Eastern people, as Portland
men aio Investing in apple lands, go
lag as far bank as Mount Hood. They
are relying on the etfeot the Mouut
Hood railroad will have on land In the
upper valley. This road is now Hear
ing completion, and the first oar of
freight was shipped over it yesterday,
oousigued tn Moro. Much of the
wood formerly burned in clearing
fruit lauds will soou be marketable at
a nomiual expense, thus reducing
thn cost of clearing laud.
The WBrm, wet weather of the past
few days has started plant life luto
activity, and berry growers will Bonn
commence cultivatiug.-Urogouian.
Miwol Law Inltetrardtu Examinations
lu view of the recent misunder
standing in one of the school districts
In the valley as to the application of
the school law, we print a communica
tion which has boou handed lis to
make the mattor clear, aud which is
as follows:
It may be an advantage to some
people lu the future to have a clear
and accurate knowledge of the law
regulating tho Kighth Oracle Examina
tions, so far as it relates to the per
son 01 persons who may, and who
may not, conduct the examination in
auy district in the stute of Oregon.
House Hill No. Ill, 8eo. 2 says: "It
shall be the duty of the chairman of
the district board of the district In
which said examination is being held
to conduct said examination lu per
son, or designate some member of his
h.J nr. flio ufliniil I'.lnrk. or some
person other thau the teacher of the
sohool, suggested uy IUB UUUUljr BU
peiiutendent to conduct such exami

The best way to ascertain a man's
real worth and standing is to go to
his home neighborhood, whore his

One would think the Laxative idea in
a cough syrup should have been ad
vanced long before it was. It soeins the
only rational remedy for coughs, and
colds would be to move the bowels and
clean the mucous membranes of the
throat and lungs at the same time.
Kennedy's Laxative Honev and Tar
does this. It is the original Laxative
Couh Syrup, the best known remedy for
coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough,

them so widely known that an introduction is un

credit to our city.
I expect to stay'with the new firm for awhile,
and will be glad to see you all at the old stand. 1
