'.00 AN OREGON CAPITALIST WHO MAKES FARMS BETTER. Geo. W, Eyre of this city got hold of a fine dairy farm at Turner some time ago, He found it in a terribly run down condition and proceeded ftojfix it up. A, great many tumble-down farms in Oregon need a little of that kind of treatment. Mr. Eyre blowed in about $5000 on new buildings and repairs and has just sold the place for $25,000. There are capitalists owning farms in Oregon letting them grow up to brush. Jhe old rail fences that, enclose them haven't had a new aidehp.ut on tnero for forty .years. The fence lines are a wilderness of brush and the home of squirrels, rabbits and vermin, They breed enough scale and Insect pests to run all the orchards for miles around. That kind of land ownership, that leaves tumble-down barns and general dilapidation staring the passersby in the face is a curse to the Willamette Valley. Mr. Eyre is not that kind. He adds value to property he owns, STATE PRINTER DUNIWAY DOING THINGS. It is refreshing to find a man occasionally who is apparently not extending his graft in office. Most men when they get Into office plan to enlarge the borders of their phylacteries the extent of their loot. But Mr, Duniway is built on different lines and has cut the stuffing out of his income so far as the legislature is concerned. The expense for printing for the 1909 session will show a total of $10,151.71, a redlction of over $13,500 as compared to $23,672.97 for the session of 1905, before Mr, Duniway was in office, The expense of the session of 1907 under Duniway was $12,356.01 for the legislative printing. So it appears to the credit of Duniway that he has done the printing tor two regular sessions and a special session for about $1 150 loss than it cost for the one term of 1905. He may be making a barrel of money on the other printing, but ho is not gu'lty of padding his revenues from work for the legislature. If Mr. Duniway can make as good a showing on all his opportunities to graft as lie has shown on tho legisaltivo end of It ho will bo keoping his campaign promises, The state printing offico should not be run under a system where it doponds on tho official in charge to say how much he shall refrain from taking. Liko Lord Clive in India, Mr, Duniway can be amazed at his own moderation, 0 A PROGRESSIVE BANKER ON COOS BAY. Jos, W, Bonnett of Marshfiold presided the other night at tho organization of a Young Men's Booster Club and made a speech, He Is tho big conservative bankor down in that country modeled after the old Ladd & Bush style of an institution, But with tho solidity and stability of that Institution, his imitation stops. He is a whole Board of Trade and real estate boosting de partment himself, and his bank and law offico are distributing thousands of pamphlets boosting the Coos Bay country. On top of his general activity Mr, Bennett can make one of tho best booster soeechos It But for being tied up with large banki real estate interests and a big law prac command a bin fleure in this Ho can talk a wliolo through a stone wall and his enthusiasm Is of tho kind that carrios a crowd right along through the hole that ho drills through the granite, Thore aro mon who do not liko Jo, Bennett, but that Is the misfortune of all strong men who carry their heads up In the air and accumulate property. Bennett wouldn't bo a bad kind of a man to make Governor of a sloopy old state like Oregon, He would wake things up ana mere wouiu ue somemmg uomg an me nine. It would bo a godsend to Oregon if the state had more bankers of the progressive stripe who are willing to see things go ahead on all linos of development, Bennett is fond of sport and not above taking a crack at any kind of game, Bennett can officiate with equal grace at a horse race, a boxing match, a church fair or a political meeting. He will fight a case for a poor devil without money'if he s of the right stripe, without money and without hope of reward, On the other hand, It is a cold day on Coos Bay when there Is a big deal on and Bennett has his hand in it and don't get his share. Take it all around there are worse and better men than Bennett, but for a big, successful banker, he has few equals on the Pacific Coast and no superiors in Oregon, . i v1inyyii rT o V s Jryv .

The best way to insure the health of your family when any member gets in a ''run-down" condition, is to use n tome that removes the causa of the ill-health. Such a tonic is DR.D.JAYNES TONIC VERMIFUGE A "run down" condition is generally due to the failure of the digestive organs to properly digest the food. Dr. D. Jayne's Vermifuge tones up the digestive organs so that they supply the body with proper nourishment, and in this way bring about last lag health. Ordinary tonics simply supply food material in predigested form, and conse quently are only effective as long as the tonic is taken. Sold by all Druggists two sizes, SOc and 35c. Br. D.

In tho Industrial department alone the re duction ncconulllshed In the past five years amounts to 8 per cent this la t Item representing a total of threo and a half million dollars. Thcso g3at gains nro being used to increase tho benefits 10 per cent on all policies in forco since January 1, 1907. As to policies dated previous to January 1, 1007, a bonus of 8 pov cent of tho premiums is given for a year on all policies over flvo years old, and increased benefits are al lowed on policies of long standing which bocomo death claims. To Bum up theso bonoflts not promised to policy holders nor ex pected by them it 'is shown that during tho past sixteen years tho concessions and bonuses In tho In dustrial department alouo aro equiv alent to a gift outright of eighteen millions of dollars.
