He was not of a disposition to accumulate much property, prefering to enjoy his earnings as lie went along He was a kind hus band and a loving father. The remain ing members of his family together with many friends will cherish his memory. TO COMPOUND AMITY. PRESCRIPTIONS 8 properly it takes time. It requires experience and a complete knowledge of dfiugs. It requires the druggist to have a large variety of drugs—fresh drugs. He must give the best possible work, and for compensation he must be reasonable. With the above facts remember we are careful and strive to please one and all alike. These are reasons why our prescription file thribbles'all in this county. A4 e are recognized by doctor and customer alike for be ing accurate and dispensing only the purest drugs.

Were not Defeated. 1 he Troublesome I'ul-llorm. A scientific explanation of the cut worm pest and a remedy for its destruction is given in the Pacific Homestead by Pro fessor F. M. MeElfresh, assistant ento mologist of the Corvallis Agricultural col lege, who says: “The pest is one of the many cutworms, but which one we can not determine until we have reared the moth. Reports have been received from a large number of points throughout the Willamette valley calling our attention to the same pest, which has been report ed as doing serious damage to grass, clo ver and vegetables, as turnips, cabbages and potatoes; in addition, we have found the eggs on apple trees and the larva- are thriving on apple and maple leaves. The 6ame remedies will apply to all cut worms. The best is to spriukle the in fested fields with a pnris green mixture, using about one pound of pariB green to 100 gallons of water, and one or two pounds of freshly slacked lime will aid in holding the poison on the vegetation. Uninfected fields may be protected by sprinkling a narrow strip around the out side of tbe field Persons who have small garden and no spraying or sprinkling apparatus may sprinkle their vegetation by using a small broom of some sort. A less satisfactory method is to use poison traps. Take fresh food, as clover or grass, and dip it iu tbe poison mixture and place about the garden in heaps large enough to hold moisture and keep ma terial green. Another method is to spriu kle the dry powdered purls green over the plants, using about one part paris green to loO parts air-slacked lime. Clean culture and extremely late fall plowing will no doubt destroy a large number of the pests, but careless neigt.l>ors will help to keep down lieneficial results.” Why don’t some public spirited man Kcal Kwlute 'I raiikiern. agitate the creamery business.

H PLsrcan, R oyalä Mrs. A. S. Duniway, the famous wom an suffrage advocate of this state, was recently asked by a representative of the Ashland Tidings the following question, to which was given the following reply : “Are you going ahead with the suffrage work in the face of your late defeat?” “Why shouldn’t we? We werenotde- feated. We were whipped by the valid vote of Portland’s Whitechapel district, and” she added with a sigh, “by the Ore gonian, which stirred it up. We got two- thirds of the counties of the state, includ ing Yamhill and Lake, which paired, as they say in congress; and over 4,000 votes in the decent wards of Multnomah. We’ll know how to checkmate Whitechapel next time. We have made gratifying progress. The total sum of the yes vote was only 11,233 in 1884. The no vote of that year was 28,176. The yes vote of 1900 was 26,265, being an increase over the former vote of 15,032, while the no vote of 1900 was 28,402, being only an in crease of 266 votes, to our more than 15,- 000. I still believe iu the chivalry aud patriotism of good men; and though Ore gon has lost her opportunity to lead our cause to victory in this closing year of the century, she will be redeemed, as I verily believe, by the many votes of 1904.

This is an age of consolidation and the California Consolidated Petroleum Com pany is born of this successful principle. The “ten-cent” oil companies are of few days and full of trouble. They must strike oil in their first wells or burst, for with their money gone in a dry bole their stock is killed If they survive they w ill be swallowed up by the Cali fornia Consolidated or the Standard, for such is the history of the oil business. There isoDly room for two oil concerns like the California Consolidated and the Standard on the Pacific coast. These two giants will inevitably control the oil busi ness of California, and it is those wise enough to see this who are buying the stock of the California Consolidated Pe troleum Company, which stock is likely, ere long, to make its holders rich. Al ready the stocks of a few other oil com panies, brought at a nominal figure, are worth on the market several hundred dollars per share, and the time is not distant when a small block of thia stock may mean a competence to the fortunate owner. Certain it is that the present price will soon tro doubled, and those de siring non-axsessable oil stock in a solid company, backed bv solid men, will do well lo carefully read the company’s ad. which appears in this issue.
