ACTIVITY IN THE COAST STATES.
Industrial Development That Indicates Steady Forward
Progress in Oregon IDAHO Washington
and California.
Harvested While You Wait.

The department of agriculture at
Washington has issued a report Of
the general agricultural conditions in
the Pacific coast region. 1t says
that although the tendency for the
last twenty-five years has been to-
ward a gradual reduction of tho
area of individual farms and ranches,
they are still of a size much larger
than the average farm of the East,
or even of the Middle West. This is
lticularly true in California.
Transportation of the enormous
quantity of Pacific coast wheat has
been reduced to a science. A large
saving is made by loading ships d.
rectly from the cars, trains being run
from the wheat fields to tidewater at
very few hours notice. In Wash
ington and Oregon, however, the
wheat is run through an elevator,
where it is re-cleaned and mixed with
other grades of wheat to bring it
to the required standard grade, after
which it is re-sacked and loaded on
the vessels, or cars, for final ship
ment.
About 27,45O,OOO bushels of wheat
are exported annually on the Pacific
coast, with a total value of about
$20,000,000.

Useful. Beautiful and vaIuabIe

The chief attraction at the inter
state fair held at Spokane last month
was the magnificent display of pol
ished marble and onyx from the
nuarries in Stevens county, Wash.
There were five different districts
represented These exhibits speak
volumes for the possibilities of Wash
ington as producer of the finest
marble and onyx known. The extent
Of the deposits is very large, and
sufficient in themselves to supply
considerable portion of the large de-
mand for material of this kind.

THE AMERICAN GIRL.
Is She Losing the Beauty That
Mas Once a National Boast?

Bright eyes, rosy cheeks, an elastic
step and a good appetite are the birth
right of every American girl. These
are the conditions that denote perfect
health. But, unfortunately, every
day are seen girls with pale, sallow
complexions, languid, round-shoul-
dered and listless, and the question
is often asked whether the woman of
today has lost the healthy beauty
which was once a national character
istic. One of the most common Attic
tions OF womankind is anaemia,
a watery condition of the blood.
This causes untold misery and often
leads TO other and even more serious
diseases. 1t can be cured, how
ever, as the following interview in the
Harrisburg Star independent will
show Miss Annie l.. Reel, of No.
$40 Green street, Harrisburg, Pa, who
has been sufferer from this trouble.
in answer to reporters question,

years ago / had an unnatural craving
for highly seasoned food and after
that | was afflicted with headache
aud my heart would beat about twice
as fast as it should. My limbs got
so weak that | had to rest on every
step when going up stairs The color
OF my skin was like that of a dead
person. My limbs, and, in fact, my
whole body, would swell at times.
The doctor who treated me said my
complaint was anaemia.
'rhe doctor told me if had let
the disease go few weeks longer
would have had dropsy. / was under
his care for several weeks, but with
little change for the better"
How, then, were you so completely
restored to health" asked the re-
porter.
Il had been sick for two months
when ! began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. In about

weeks and became thoroughly cured. "

California Fruits In Europs

The latest American invasion of
Europe is the carrying Of fresh Cali

the face Of the competition of the
Spanish and Italian fruit growers. A

dition than ours" and adds that her
