M’MINNVILLE, ORE., FRIDAY, SEPT. .3, 1897. Entered at the Poctoffice in McMinnville as Second-elaaa matter. X VOL. XXVII. NORTH YAMHILL. KM ((( The Blue and the Gray. ÌOÙ'- ' ((g) (d) Both men and women are apt to feel a little blue, when the gray hairs begin to show. It's a very natural feeling. In the normal condition of things gray hairs belong to advanced age. They have no business whitening the head of man or woman, who has not begun to go down the slope of life. As a matter of fact, the hair turns gray regardless of age, or of life’s seasons ; sometimes it is whitened by sickness, but more often from lack of care. When the hair fades or turns gray there's no need to resort to hair dyes. The normal color of the hair is restored and retained by the use of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. » ,o It Pj’ ioi (P ’ r,. ■ Ayer’s Curebook, “a story of cures told by the cured.” ioo pages, free. J. C.

The meeting was not largely country. It is modeled after the Waddle attended, but those present were enthu school building. siastic in the determination to continue The proudest man in Dayton at present is Charlie Moore, as he now is a father, and that of ahoy. Mr. Moore, as he now wishes to be called, walks up the street not wearing his accustomed soft liat, as that would be too undignified for a man with such a fine son, but witii a derby on his proud head and a look of pride upon his face that equals the pride of Dombey in the famous work “Dombey and Son.” Simpson, the Oregon poet, in his beautiful “Ode to the Willamette,” says, “Time that mars us, maims and scars us, leaves no track or trench on thee,” but a person coming down the river at the present time would come to the conclusion that Father Time is making as much of an impression on the river as he is on the human race. The river is changing and shifting con tinually; land that was on this side five years ago now is in the middle of the river, and land that was in Yamhill county ten years ago is now in Marion county. At other places land that was in Marion county is now in Yamhill. It is not known in the fall in what channel the river will be in the spring. In some places the river runs in two channels, and at this time of the year it is only by continuous hard work that the boats can be kept running. Capt. Hatch with the new U. 8. snag boat, Matha- lorna, hits about thirty-five men employed building wing dams to throw all the water into one channel, driving piling and filling in with dirt and fascines to keep the water from cutting through the slottghs. A crew of men is also employed at the mouth of the Yamhill river, eo that the boats can run up to Dayton. Many who have investigated the matter are of the opinion that the locks which are to lie put in the river should lie put in at the mouth instead of at the Denny place just below Lafayette. the organization, and remarks were made along this line by President Lewie and F. E. Rogers. Owing to the busy season, adjournment was taken until the first Wednesday evening in October, when election of officers and other busi ness will be attended to. WEEKLY CLOP Hill.I.ETIN. P ortland , O regon , August 30, 1897. The past week was much cooler than the preceding one, and the week closed with southerly winds, thunderstormsand rain. The mean temperature for the week was 67 degrees, being 11 degrees cooler than for the preceding week. The maximum temperature averaged 79 de grees, the highest being 82 degrees and the lowest 72 degrees; the minimum averaged 55 degrees, ranging from 50 de grees to 62 degrees. The rainfall amounted to from a trace to .25 of an inch. Showers occurred in the southern counties Saturday night; during Sunday and to-day they were general, being, as usual, heaviest along the northern coast. The smoke became more dense during the week, but was less dense to-day, owing to the southerly winds and to the showers. Fall-sown wheat is safely stored in warehouses, etc. Threshing of spring-sown wheat is nearly done. All reports agree as to the excellent yield and quality. Spring-sown grain is con siderably aliove the average. Oats are safely out of the way; they are of a su|>erior quality, and the yield has l>een excellent. Prunes are ripening rapidly; large quantities are being shipped for fresh fruit, and those over ripe go to the driers. The driers are ail starting up. The prune crop is much heavier than was antici pated. The shipment of Bartlett |iears and Crawford peaches continues. Train loads of fruit consigned to the Middle WeBt and the Atlantic Slo|>e cities have left this city every other day for the past two weeks; the fruit has arrived in good condition and commands good prices. The main crop now demanding attention is the hop crop; the weather prevailing is not favorable. Picking has commenced in all sections. The hop louse is bad. Mould lias apjieared in some yards, and the total product will lie less than hereto fore exacted. Hoppickers are not over plentiful. The quantity and quality of the hops w ill not lie an average. The apple and late peach cro|>s will be good, the former being freer from the effects of the Codlin moth than usual. Corn is a good crop for Oregon. Corn in Oregon does not grow to that perfection that is found in the Mississippi valley. Pastur ages are now at their poorest, though stock is yet in good condition. Potatoes continue to lie rejiorted a big crop. Mel ons, squashes, cabbage, etc., are prolific. Grapes are a better crop than usual, and the early varieties are now ripe or ripen ing. Within a few weeks all crops and produce will lie gathered, and plowing for next year’s crop commenced. B. 8.

Everything points to greater pros perity on the Pacific coast. A new oriental steamship service has been secured for Portland, which provides for one steamer every 28. days between Portland and the leading ports of China and Japan. This will afford the best transportation facili ties ever enjoyed by the Pacific north west. Shingles are one of the chief pro ducts of the lower Columbia section and their unprecedented low price for the past three years has been a serious matter to the lumbermen of that section. Of their rise in value the St. Heiens Mist has the following to say: Shiingles are now said to be selling »1.121 in Portland, and re tailing at »1.20. Six or eight months ago shingles were a drug on the market at 70 to 75 cents. Is it a short crop of shingles in Europe that has brought about this change? The Oregon Land Company of Salem will begin operating its fruit driers on Monday, September Otli, and will prosecute the business so vigorously as to make it profitable for all concerned. This firm is also engaged in shipping green fruit, and expects to send away from ten to twelve carloads of green prunes, plums and pears to Eastern markets. The firm is now offering »10 per ton for good prunes, delivered, and has also made arrangements to buy the entire output of several orchards, taking the fruit on the trees. This company expects to dry 15,000 to 17,0(10 bushels of all kinds of prunes, the most attention being paid to Italians and petites. The output of the company's own orchards will also be carefully handled and placed on the market. After menls you should have simply a feeling of comfort aud satisfaction. 'You should not feel any special indications that digestion is going on. If yon- 'do, yon have indigestion, which means not- digestion. This may lie the beginning of so many dangerous diseases, that it is best to take it in hand at once and treat it with Shaker Digestive Cordial. For you know that indigestion makes poison, which causes pain and sickness. And that Shaker Digestive Cordial helps di gestion and cures indigestion. Shaker Digestive Cordial does this by providing the digestive materials in which the sick stomach is wanting. It also tones up and strengthens the digestive organs ami makes them perfectly healthy. This ie the rationale of its method of cure, as the doctors would say. Sold by druggists, price 10 cents to »1.00 per liottle.
