excellent material. They were pur-
chased by Manager f. r. Anson who
recently visited this section of the
Santiam country, combining business
with pleasure.
All electric light poles on Twelfth
street south of State and on the entire
length OF Oak street will he replaced
with the new ones. The old electric
car poles on South Commercial street
and the fair grounds division of the
"big" car line will be reset. 1t Will
be necessary to remove scarcely any
poles on the "llttle" car line from the
fact that they are still in good con-
dition, having been in use for only
about four years. The fair grounds
division OF the "big" car line will be
thoroughly repaired and placed in ex-
cellent condition for the state tair in
order that the crowds may be handled
with the accustomed dispatch of this
company in the past.
The work of erecting the new poles
has begun and Superintendent Lee
McGrew is overseeing the work.
Lineman James Lambirth and
"Shorty" Parsons will assist in maxi
ing the changes.

A Careless Practice.

Every days mail brings letters to
the sheriff's office containing a postal
money order or S. or $40 greenback,
with one name or means of ascertain
ing the sender, to whom the
money should be credited or tax re-
ceipt issued. The sheriff and his dep
uties recently issued postal cards to
delinquent taxpayers, informing them
of the amount of their unpaid taxes.
Taking it for granted that the sheriff
has the means of knowing by the
amounts remitted, to whom credit
should be given, the thOughtless tax
payer does not think it necessary to
send any explanation Of the same
when he remits the money for his
taxes. In case postal money order
is received the only means of ascer-
tanning the sender is to address a let
ter to the postmaster who issued the
order and thus compare the number
of the order'with that on the stub at
the office from which the order was
mailed. In case currency is mailed
without any instructions as to whom
the amount shall be credited, it is
necessary to lay the money aside until
the taxpayer, becoming alarmed at not
receiving a receipt for his money,
writes to the sheriff and demands a
reason therefor In remitting money
under any circumstances, persons
should see that they will unmistaka-
bly, receive credit therefor.

WERE RELEASED. - Four young
men were arrested last night by Of
fcer McNary for trespassing. This
morning they were arraigned before
Recorder Edes, when they explained
that they were in search of place
to pick hops and having no.other
place to go, sought Accommodations for
the night in barn. Recorder Edes
released the men and directed them
to hop yards where work could be OBJ
tained A drunk also related the
same tale and he too was released.
The 'Knights of the road," drunks,
and other such individuals will have
to invent some other yarn hereafter
in order to appeal to the sympathy of
Recorder Edes as that official is de-
termined in the future to give such
individuals the benefit of the law.
There is no excuse for man to be
without work at this season of the
year when so many opportunities are
afforded in the hop yards and harvest
fields for earning good wages.

Make the Most Of Yourself

1t is the duty of every man to
make the most of himself. What
ever his capacities may be, he is
sure TO find some place where he
can be useful to himself and to
others. But he cannot reach his
highest usefulness without good
health and he cannot have good
health without pure blood. The
Dlood circulates to every organ
and tissue and when it is pure,
rich and healthy it carries health
to the entire system, but if it is
impure it scatters disease where
ever it flows. Hoods Sasaparilla
is the one true blood purifier. 1t
cures salt rheum, scrofula, Ca
tarrh, dyspepsia and rhematism
because these diseases have their
origin in the blood.
