propriated under the terras of tbe
$210,000 bond issued voted by Skamania

It is recited in tbe charges against
Mr. Bovd that he never took tbe oath
of office.
Both officials are accused of allowing
wages to be paid county officials for
time spent in hunting, fishing and
pleasure trips.
GROWERS SHOULD
FURNISH DATA
One of the worst faults of Hood
River apple growers, according to Wil
mer Sieg, is their tardiness in answer
ins calla for information.
"Writing for certain data tbe other
day," says Mr. Sieg, "we sent out
nostal cards, askinn erowera to simply
to write in the word yes or no. We
have received replies from about one
third nf our membership."
The Association has just sent out let
ters asking all affiliated growers to
designate the different kinds of com
mercial fruits grown by each. Where
the Association does not handle the
product of a grower it will guide him
to the trade that will handle it.
Roval Anne. Governor Wood and uen
tennial cherries are maturing this
week. The fruit has been sold to the
Libbv. McNeil and Libby tannery at
The Dalles for a net price of 61 cents
per pound. .,...
The orosoeci ior Bines, Lamucru
and other varieties of black cherries

pint box strawberry cases, are better
than at any time in former history oi
the local fruit industry.
PYTHIANS WILL BE
WARMLY GREETED
The Portland committee which la
handling arrangements for tbe meet-'
ingt of the Supreme Lodge Knighta of
Pythiaa and tbe Supreme 1 em pie,
Puthian Siitera. ia Bending out word to
ail intended visitors to Portland August
1 to 10 to look out for two points.
First they should purchase tickets to
Seaside, Ore., when tbe great clam
bake la to be held August o ana o. tie
membering that point will ave each
visitor $3.
Second, every visitor should cut a
bathing suit in his or ber grip sack. It
will be wanted when tbe 30,000 people
who gather at tbe beach take unani
mous plunge into the Pacific ocean.
"There has been no ebange in the
styles of clama and crabs that will be
used at the bie feed on tbe beacb,"said
Chairman Gua Moser, "but in bathing
suits Dame Fashion has been setting a
fast pace. That fact suggests tbe two
reasons wby visitors should bring such
a garment along.
"It will not take much room in the
grin, and the wearer can secure the
style that is approved by bie or her
own conscience."
Portland Pythiana are preparing to
give their visitors the greatest line of
entertainment that has ever been ex
perienced by the representatives to tbe
Supreme Lodge, and it will be just as
enjoyable for tbe lay member of the
Iiaternity.
Portland invites every member of
the order in the west and northwest to
bring his family to theHose City and
spend the dimmer nAfct the joys of
nature.

ble headache. Take Chamberlain's Tab
lets. They will tone up your liver, clean
out your stomach and you will Boon be
as well as ever. They only cost a quar
ter. Obtainable everywhere.

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS
The nervous system ia the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol,
