Picking; of prone Is progressing rapid ly, and If the present beautiful weather lasts much longer, the entire crop will be harvested with little loss. 'There is iv good demand in the market for choice Oregon prunes, and the growers of this section, through the Willamette Valley Prune Association, will find 'a good market for their entire product. The Apple Crop, i The apple crop of Oregon, the best in years, U beginning to move to market, and In this connection- the Portland Telegram of last evening has the fol lowing Interesting item: . i j ,' The movement of - the great apple erop of Southern Oregon" will com mence on the 10th of the month.

"- CANNOT PASS NETS FISHERMEN ON TILLAMOOK RIVRU PREVENT HATCHERY FROM SUCCEEDING. (From Thursday's. Pally.) TirXAMOOK ' bet. l!-Tne salmon hatchery on Wilson river will clone down tnmorrow, the experiment, for thl year, having been Unsuccessful so' far as the hatching of fish Is concerned. C II.

The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the great kidney remedy Is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures or the most distressing cases and Is sold on Its merits by all druggists In flftyv cent and one-dollar siz es. -You may 'have a sample bottle by mail free, also pamphlet telling you bow to find out If you have kidney or puuuer trouble. Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilme St Co., Blnghamton. N. T. of Swmnp-Soot he has ascertained the time when the fish come up the river-to spawn, and also the time of the fall freshets. Here tofore It was thought at headquarters, that the salmon did not 'ascend the river until October, while now the fish warden knows that the fish come up to the spawning ground as early as Sep tember 15th. I The reason of the failure to hatch any salmon this year 4s the selfishness of five or six fishermen, who have kept the Wilson river Vblocked uo" all of the season by stretching' gill nets across it, thereby catching the fish and not allowing them to pass up to the hatchery.'' Only fifty female salmon have been taken thus far, where to have. been a success,. 600 should have been caught. The eggs from 500 f e male 'salmon will produce 2,000,000 young nalmon, and it is an established fact, that all of these, after three or four years will return to their spawn- Ling, ground. r 'Up to date but 153,000 eggs have been taken at the hUtehery, and these will probably be thrown away. : There Is a bare possibility that the experiment will be continued during the jrurtrdf silversldes. which Is Just begin ning; but this Is not thought practic able, as the fall freshets will wash the Tacks" out making the catching of the- suitable fish impossible. -'- ... A a result of these few fishermen stringing the river With nets, making It Impossible for the fish to reach the "hatchery racks,"' a bill will probably be introduced and passed at the next Legislature closing the Wilson river to the fishermen, and prohibiting the placing of nets or any other obstrue tions across It. . Mr. Roadmarmel says that every sal mon thus far. taken at the hatchery bears the. mark of a gill net. showing that these fish are first entangled and escaped from the net of some; fisher man on the Wilson river. y-, IRRIGATION EXPERIMENT . , .

'Hon. Ben jamin Hayden, the pioneer attorney and Legislator, was the chairman of he meeting, and he added dignity to the discussions of the old fighters by his able handling of the gavel. Col. T. A. Wood, of Portland, was also present and took part In the discussions. .: The old fighters were not demonstra tive, but they expressed themselves as determined to secure from the state of Oregon tbe payment of the 12 per day, promised them before the . veterans went, to the front to fight the warring Indians back. It was claimed that , this per diem would aggregate about $310, 000, and this amount will be claimed from the state. As it Is thought, how ever, that the Legislature will not be able to appropriate this amount at one time, Colonel Wood proposes to have 4-per-cent bonds, running: 20 years. Is sued lit payment, and! he believes the Federal Government, will take them up, asjsoon as the state acknowledges (he claim of the veterans. . ...:'A legislative committee, - consisting of Major James Bruce, of Benton coun ty; Colonel Tv B.

The meeting adjourned to January 21, 1903, when It- will again meet In Salem. , 'The resolutions adopted at the In stance of Colonel Wood, and which will be . placed before .the Legislature,, are as follows: , ,J... : "Whereas, the Territorial Legislature of Oregon did in 18S5 contract with the volunteers who enlisted and served In the Oregon Territorial Indian Wars of 1855 and 1859 by act of the Legislature to pay, said volunteers the sum -or t per day for their services as an Induce ment to secure the requisite number to aid in putting down the Indian hostili ties which raged from the California line on the south to the British posses sions on the north, and from the Rocky Mountains on the east to the Pacific on the west, and ; "Whereas, the volunteers, by enlist ment and service accepted the terms of said contract, and Whereas, the territory or Its succes sor, the state of Oregon, has not paid said sum. or any part thereof, and "Whereas, the United tates paid about 54 cents per day for said ser vices, and . - "Whsreas, there yet remains about $1.45 per day unpaid, for which the state of Oregon is morally and legally bound. : : "Be It therefore, resolved. That we ask the Legislature of Oregon to pay said obligation in 4-per- eent-20-year bonds, and appropriate - lnbonds the sum of $300,000 for that purpose. f"Resolved. that the fallureto meet said obligation on the part of the state is unrighteous and said act would not be tolerated among; gentlemen In-; their dealings with each other, and the state of Oregon had no more right to refuse the payment of this just debt 'than, has the Individual the right to refuse to pay his written obligations to his fellow man. y , 1 y Resolved, that we Invite , the pio neers of Oregon, Indian War Veterans, and the Native Sons of Oregon,' to co operate In this matter and do what they can towards securing the honest pay ment of this debt to the aged, grey headed pioneer veterans of Oregon who have waited 4s snd 47 years for what was justly their due and should have been paid them many years ago." The meeting also adopted the follow ing; resolution, by unanimous vote of the old veterans present: ' " "Resolved by. the Indian War veter an assembled here today, that they unanimously thank Hon. C.

FROM PLEASANT POINT THE RURAL FREE DELIVERY AND ITS EFFECTS ON A TOWN'S BUSINESS. (From Thursday's Dally.) -r .. Editor Statesman: 'Some of the Turner business men and prop erty owners seem to be dissatisfied with the F. D. R. postal system, saying that it Is killing the town. etc. . I heard one such person say yesterday that: he would give $20 to have the delivery system discontinued. Now, we people of the country around think the system Is all right, that It is a great conveni ence, and we do not see , how we could keep house- without H. We do not want it discontinued at all, and will en, ter a most decided protest against It, don't you feas-A-t killing the town, that Is-hard to-do' -When place is B .rnu 'j t -1 - w m rm i i . m -a. an - a i am.a mm ... 1 i Tw W. People who travel aud are wmstantrr on tkw'.rbad are tery liable to have dyspepsia or tome other form ofy atomach trouble.?. They have to lire a they can, not as they would. The train wont stop for them to eat, they must eat when th 'train stops, and in general the food hurriedly swallowed in the ! ten mmuteaforrefrehmenU ww of an indigestible character. It if small cause for wonder that under auch , conditions the stomach becomes disordered and diseased. One of the peculiar j features of the times is that the scores and thousands of people who ddnV have to travel persist in living as if they did. They eat at home or in the restaurant as if the time for refreshment i was limited to ten minutes and they were in momentary expec Itation of the call, "All aboard 1" to break in upon their hur 5 ried meal. The very natural consequence of this wy 'of living is to recruit tbe great army of dyspeptics. Dyspepsia has many , stages which range from mere' discomfort to utter mental misery j and physical wreck, y But at any stage dyspepsia Is a menace to I health and happiness. Ordinarily we think of dyspepsia as si disease' affecting only the organs of digestion, and nutrition.' ; Bui as a matter of fact the disease affects the whole body. It causes physical lassitude, mental 'dullness -and depression, head ache, muscular debility and constipation or irregularity. It is one of the greatest handicaps to human happiness and useful ness the world knows. y Side by side With these facts there is another : Dytpeptia can be cured, has been cured, and is being cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures dyspepsia at any 'stage, and the only difference between the cure of Ian old and obstinate case of dyspepsia and the disease in its beginning, is a difference of time. It takes longer to cure a disease which has had years perhaps in which to root and a disease which has only just begun to show itself. But so uniform are the results obtained by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery that it may be affirmed that in ninety-eight per, cent, of cases ft perfect and. permanent cure will be ob tained. It always helps. It almost always cures. Mr. Ned Nelson, the celebrated Irish Commedian and Mimic, of 577 Hoyden Street, Camden. N. J., writes : We fulfilled an enffapement of twelve weeks, and the constanttravelinj? eave me a bad touch of that dreaded disease called dyspepsia. I had tried everything possible to cure it till last week whUe playing at B, F. Keeth's Biiou Theatre, Philadelphia, in the Nelson Trio, a professional friend of mine advised me to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I tried it, and, thank God; with good results. , ..;.'- Having seen the advertisement of your 'Golden Medical Discovery, and .being a great sufferer from the effects of stomach trouble for the past eieht years, l conciuaea 10 try your mcuaiue, wine v. a. juaxwen, ot Marsa field. Coos Co., Oregon. "I had tried almost every known remedy, and also consulted with the best medical skill attainable, but all without any relief. After reading one of your Circulars I concluded to try one bottle of Dr, Jierce's Golden Medical Discovery. After taking one bottle I felt so relieved it inrfnrWr continue. Am now on the fourth bottle and have not had a spell of bloating or "acid stomach (which was very painful) for the last six weeks. Before the use of your medicine I was in or eaa oi every mealtime, ior in twenty minutes after eating I would be racked with pain. Indigestion was my principal ailment, and I have been also terribly afflicted , ' with asthma, which, I believe, was brought on through the medium f indigestion. Now ; as I stated, after having used four bottles of your medicine, I have not had an attack of our stomach or painful bloating, and mr asthma has just about disappeared. In fact. I feel better now than for the last ten years.1 . - - . . The cures effected by the use of M Golden Medical Discovery are real and lasting. - A large number of the so-called "remedies n, offered for dyspepsia, are " mere palliatives. The most they can do is to give some temporary relief from physical discomfort. But the Discovery makes a perfect and permanent cure. It does this because it is much more than a mere medicine for dyspepsia. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures diseases of organs seemingly remote from the stomach, but which in reality have their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach and its allied organs. Thus with the - cure of dyspepsia and stomach ? trouble " comes the cure of is- eases of liver, kidneys, heart. Inn on - snH otnae or gans, when these diseases, as is often the case, have their cause in the diseased conditionof tla organs of digestion and nutrition. , - Sometimes a 'deafer, tempted by the little more profit paid on the sale of less meritorious medicine, will offer the customer a substitute as being just as good n as the " Discovery. It is better for Lim because it pays better, but it is not as good for you, ifyou want the medicine that has cured others, and which you believe will cure you. r If you are looking for a laxative which Is gentle in action and effective in results, try Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
