Conn.,, Mark Twain was one morning deep
in the composition of some humorism from
which he expected a good deal, when he was
called to the telephone. He told the servant
but in a few moments was informed that the
party at the other end of the wire wanted
him. Provoked at the interruption, Mark
went to the telephone, and, after 'shelloing"
for some time without an answer, he used
some language not generally seen in print,
but which was certainly picturesque. While
thus engaged he heard an answer in aston

(SpeciaD. When the Independent Or

wanted State Organizer, they chose
Mrs. Laura j. Smith, of 1917 West 33rd

as National Organizer. The reason is
not far to seek. This gifted woman has
devoted her life to a battle against
Drink and Drinking Habits. Her in1iu-
ence for good in Minnesota is and has.
been very far reaching.
About two years ago, however, it
seemed as if this noble woman would
have to give up her philanthropic work.
Severe pains in her back and under her
shoulder blades, made. life a burden

consulted, and they prescribed for
Kidney Disease. Three months treat

Smith any relief. Her husband was.
much exercised, andcast about him for
something that would restore his good
wife to health and strength. He heard
OF the cures effected by Dodd's Kidney

windmfrI Power for Dynamoe.

A new idea for utilizing the power
OF the wind in order to produce cleo
tricity has just been made known.
Windmills are too uncertain to permit
of their being used for driving dyna-
mos, so it is proposed that wihdmills
be used to pump water into high res
ervoir or tank, and this water would
drive dynamo. in an ordinary way by
means of a turbine. Although the
windmill might work fitfully, it would
be sufficient to keep up constant sup
ply of water so that the production of
electricity would be continuous

A Letter From the Executive ONCE Of Oregon.

To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat
catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only
cures catarrh, but prevents. Every house

edy for coughs, colds, and SO forth.
1t will be noticed that the Governor says
he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for
other ailments. The reason for this is, most
other ailments begin with cold. Using Pc
ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects
his family against other ailments. This il
exactly what every other family in the
United States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in
the house. Use it for coughs, colds, Ia
grippe, and other climatic affections of win
ter, and there will be no other ailments'in
the house. Such families should provide
themselves with copy Of DIR. Hartman's

of July Celebration this year and all who
attended thoroughly enjoyed themsel-

during the morning and until about two
O'Clock in the afternoon served to keep
many away who would otherwise have
gone, but to those who were present moth
ing was left undone by the management
in giving them good time. Great credit
is due to the various committees for the
faithful manner in which they did their
work, and to the people of Hofflund for
undertaking and carrying out so success
fully the celebration. The sports were
all exciting and served to keep those
present interested. Most of the interest
centered in the ball game between the
Wiliston and Hoff1und teams, the game
was very close and exciting until about
the fifth inning when the Hofflund team
commenced piling up runs and did not
stop until the score reached 20 to in
the last inning. Horse and pony races,
and foot races kept the people busy un.
til dark, when after supper the crowd
adjourned to the grove, where grand

kept many until the morning hours of
the fifth.
