Mr.. Jacoby Makes Another Appeal
for His Invention.

And still 1 come with the same
offer, this time would say, is there
not a man or class of men in this
country who have the good of their
country at heart and have plenty of
money and are willing to spend it
for the benefit of their country in a
way that will not only be a help to
the farmer but to himself also?
The proposition 1, John w. Jaco-
by, have offered some time ago that
1 will guarantee that 1 will give a
plan for S1oo, 900, made secure to
me, 1 will give a plan for machine
that will not only prepare the soil
for the reception of the seed by once
going over the ground but will also
destroy varmint such as chlnch bugs,
cutworms and cabbage worms and
all other insects that inhabit the
earth and destroy vegetation after ii
has come up out of the ground.
This surely is something that is
greatly needed in this country and in
any country where it can be used SC
as to save great deal of trouble
and extra expense. Let everybody
learn as this is a good thing.

A Letter from Oregon.
Olalla, Douglass Co., Ore, /,

Olalla, Douglass Co., Ore,
Dec. IS, 1901.
EDITOR News:
Dear Sir-You will find here a
few lines which please publish in
your paper for the benefit of those
who may think of coming to south
west Oregon to seek a location.
They will get badly fooled for there
is nothing here but timber, noun
tains and mud. The is no show fol
man to get start here for there
are great many more poor people
here than there in Meade county.
So you may know that this country
is not what it is represented to be.
The country is very rough with
lots of trees three hundred feet tall.
The big timber is pine, fir and ce-
dar.
If man has 100 acres of land
and head of cattle he is called
ranchman and if he has a team and
wagon he is doing well. They have
very poor grade of stock here.
There are more people here that
rent than any place l ever saw.
Everything is higher here than
back in Kansas. If you buy any
thing here and give them dollar it
scares them, for it is so seldom they
see a dollar they don't know what it
is. The Oregonians have to ex-
change work in the spring, picking
the moss off their backs.
Hay is worth $40 to SIS ton,
oats IS, wheat IS, -four on the raise
at $3.50 and makes poor bread.
This country is all right for fruit
but they have frosts that kill it and
the country is subject to drouths, so
you see it is not as represented.
We are camped on the east side
of the coast range 40 miles from the
coast. There may be better coun-
try in Oregon, but if there is, why
are there so many poor people in
this God forsaken country. Bought
learning is the best of learning il
you don't pay too dear for it, but
paid dear for mine.

Doc believes in making home a

manhood and womanhood will be
good citizens. In this he is quite
correct.
Jim Stamper has secured a fine
flowing well for A. Kessler on the
timber claim southeast of the city.
The well is on the east side of the
creek and is no feet deep. Several
holes have been bored on this place
in vain effort to get artesian water,
but Jim was the only one that was
successful. 1t is quite trick to get
a flowing we'll and Mr.. Stamper can
come as near getting you a well as
anyone who ever handled the drill
rods.
The mask ball at the city hall last
Tuesday night was an entire success

under the able management of
John Russell and Clifford
Wood. There were about 40 mask

pretty and some were very hideous.
Lack of space and time prevent US
from enumerating all of them as We
would like to. The committee to
award the prizes consisted of Messrs
Ben Cox, E. E. Mofett and DR..
Fee and awarded the gentleman's
prize, an elegant silk watch fob gold
mounted, to Mr.. H. B. Phelps, for
the best gents costume, and the
ladies' prize, an alegant pair of ster-
ling silver embroidery scissors, to
Mrs. James l. Stamper, as the best
costumed lady. The prizes were
given by Jeweler Beatte.
