TRICES'
THIS YEAR
ChltUm, and what Its prico vr)
bo this season la d subject of wldo
conjetfuro now. Dealora figure on
It, peolors discuss It, and onlookers
wondor about it. It la said to bo tlio
standard topic of conversation over In
AlBoa. It la almost a head-quarters
for chlttlm, ovor there, Wado Malone
having bought 96,000 pounds, or about
ten carloads of baric last season. Tho
amount represents only a part of tho
Alsea product, large quantities having
been hauled and sold to Monroe, and
Corvallls buyers. The averago price
paid by Mr. Malone, Including tho
low prlco of tho earlier and fancy
figures of the lator season, was 8 VI
cents, making the amount paid out
by him for tho bark about $17,000". Mr.
Malone expects that as much bark
as was pooled last year will be avail
able- la Alsea again this season.
It Is gonorally believed that the
bark will never drop again to tho low
flguros of former tinted Wbethor,
howovor, prices will soar again as
they did last year, Is a question that
only tho future can auswor. No deal
er offers to contract at any figure
Ho couldn't contract If ho would, be-'
causo, aftor tho oxporlenco of last
year no pcolor would be likely to con
tract If ho could. Everything con
nected with tho subject of prlco is con
jecturo. It Is said that thoro is enough
of tho bark in Eastern warehouses to
supply tho world's demand for five
years. It is also related that whoa tho
prices wont skyward In tho United
States last summor that largo quanti
ties of tho bark that had provlously
boon shlppod from this country to
London woro shipped to Now York
and that lmmenso proflts woro real
ized In tho transaction. It is also
declared that a largo San Francisco
firm which has been tho chlof Pacific
Coast oporator In cascara In tho po3t,
has purchased largo areas of chlttlm
land In Clark county, Washington,
and with an army of employes Is to
do Its own peeling this season. All
thoso things aro cited as signals that
show that sky prices aro not likely to
bo In voguo again this season. ,
On' tho othor hand, thero aro signs
that point In a different direction.
Tho woll known Wllholm firm at Mon
reo, which bought lmmenso quanti
ties of bark at top flguros In tho lattor
part of last soason closed out tho re
mainder" of Its holding a couplo of
wooks ago at flguros that aro said to
have brought tho firm out ovon If not
mora than oven on tho season's busi
ness. What theso flguros woro, no
body knows. Thoy nro placed by good
guossors at 1C conts. or more. Tho lot

Another statement of Interest Is,
that at tho present time tho top New
York price for chlttlm for delivery
tho coming season Is about 10 to 11
conts, and that a small amount could
bo contracted on that balls, which
would mean nine or Un cents In Cor
vallls. Thoro Is also oxcollont author

Now York City tho bark could bo pur

The Mammoth and the Mosquito
What has come to pass In thousands of
years seems hardly credible. Primitive
man, n weakling in comparison to modem
man, was able to conquer the huge mon
sters of thousands of years ago, such as
the Mammoth, and to-day they are dead
forever yet the tnoxiulio and fly haw
never been conquered. It Is now tltue
for the scientist to devise methods for kill
ing the mosquito and fly, so that thay will
go to join the mammoth and the monster
lizards. The mosquitoes and flies are dan
gerous enemies of man because they spread
contagion. The mosquito often carries the
germ of malaria with his bite. The house
fly spreads Reims of disease over ottr food
These bacterial germs, ever hunting for
the weak spot, find a place In onr blood,
and then we suffer from grip, catarrh, con
sumption, or malaria.
Dr. R, V. Tierce, chief consulting physi
cian to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y.,ara: "There
would be no trip epidemics, the germs of
consumption, or malaria would find no
place in the human economy, if the blood
were pure, if the lungs, heart and other
organs were fed on good blood. Poisons
should not be allowed to accumulate In the
body, to be safe It is best to take n gentle
laxative at least once a week." Such a
vegetable laxative as Dr. Pierce's rieanant
Pellets contains nothing which could harm
the system.
For nutting the blood in order, aud as a
tissue-builder and tonic for those weakened
by coughs, colds, catarrh, grip, nothing Will
build one up quicker than Dr. Tierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This Is n med
icine made entirely of roots and herbs,
without the use of alcohol.
Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser Is sent free
on receipt of stamps to pay expense of
mailing only. Send at one-cent stamps
for paper covered, or at stamps for cloth
binding, to Dr It. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
