THREE SISTERS THIS YEAR
Mazamas Are Getting Ready for Their
Annual Mountain Trip.

All arrangements have been COM
pleted for the trip to the Three
Sisters by the Mazamas. The party
will leave Eugene early Thursday
morning, July 8. The first nights
stop will be at Montgomery's place,
the second night at the bridge on
the Mackenzie; Saturday night,
Big Meadows will be the stopping
place. Here the wagons will be
left and the party will proceed on

line Of the Big Mountain, the
largest peak of the Three Sisters,
will be reached. Here the perma-
nent camp will be made, and the
party will take up their different
exploring tours. Monday, July 13,
the Big Mountain will be climbed,
ana on tuesday an attempt will be
made to ascend the North Sister.
There is no knowledge Of any one

extremely hazardous. several brave
Mazamas win ascend to thehignsst
point.
Wednesday, July Is, the home
ward journey will begin, and stops
will be made at Foley and Belknap
Springs. The party will reach
Eugene on July IS.

SUNDAY AT THE FALLS
Special Motor Carried Many Visitors
Over New Railroad.


Another enjoyable excursion to
Falls City was given Sunday, a
special motor train over the new
railroad carrying a large number
Of independence and Monmouth
people to Polk county's pleasant
little mountain town. The motor
arrived in Dallas at $50 a. M, and
left over the track Of the Dallas
and Falls City road few minutes
later. The weather was perfect,
and the beautiful scenery along
route was greatly enjoyed by the
excursionists. The nine miles were
covered in 40 minutes, and many
expressions Of surprise at the
smoothness Of the new track were
heard. The visitors did moi fail to
note the substantial character of
the construction Of the road, and
all spoke in the highest terms Of
the spirit Of enterprise displayed
by the people who were instrument
tai in carrying the project through
to successful finish.
The day at Falls City was most
enjoyable. The bracing mountain
air gave the excursionists good
appetites, and the visitors who had
taken lunch baskets spent a
pleasant noon hour on the shady
banks of the Luckiamute above the
Falls. Many people partook Of the
excellent dinner prepared by Land
lord Fugitt of the Falls City hotel.
This snug little tavern is rapidly
growing in favor with the Sunday
excursionists, and the meals served
there are among the most enjoyable
features Of the trip.
The return trip to Dallas in the
evening. was made in 35 minutes.
President Hirschberg, of the motor
company, accompanied the ex-
cursionists, and, as usual, kept
himself busy looking after the
and convenience Of bis
President Gerlinger,
Of the Dallas and Falls City rail-
road, was among the number re-
turning to Dallas in the evening.
The Sunday excursions to Falls
City afford an excellent opportunity
to the people Of Dallas, Inde-
pendence and Monmouth to escape
the heat and dust of Summer and
spend a quiet, restful day after a
busy weeks work, and are sure to
grow rapidly in popular favor as
the season advances.

Ladies' and Children Invited.

All ladies and children who can
not stand the shocking strain Of
laxative syrups, cathartics, etc., are
invited to try the famous Little
Early Risers. They are different
from all other pills. They do not
purge the system. Even a double
dose will not grippe, weaken or
sicken; many people call them the
Easy Pill. W. H. Howell, Hous-
ton, Tex, says nothing better can
be used for constipation, sick head
ache, etc. Bob Moore, Lafayette,
Ind, says ali others gripe and
sicken, while DeWitt's Little Early
Risers do their work well and easy.

The Benefit of Change.

We are like house plants: We
need change of soil now and then
to be replanted. New scenes,
new experiences, new surroundings,
a change of climate, dry air instead
of moisture, sunshine in place Of
cloud. This is sometimes essential
to health. There are conditions
near at hand that are better than
Europe can offer. Take a month
or two in California. Plant your
self for time where there are no
irritations, where the hotel is be-
yond criticism, the landscape pleas
ing, and where warm sunny
weather invites to walks and drives.
Pure and dry air, and the increased
electric influences of sunshine are
vastly helpful.
You can make this trip at very
little expense, and enjoy a ride
over the scenic Siskiyou and Shasta
mountains, which, at this time of
the year with their snow-covered
peaks, are unsurpassed for their
grandeur.

SPRING GRAIN NEEDS RAIN
Government Crop Bulletin Says Late
SOwn Wheat Is Seriously Affected.

In the eastern part of the State
the first Of the week was cool and a
few small showers occurred, after
which dry and moderately warm
weather prevailed. In the western
section the week has been dry;
during the first few days the nights
were cool, and in some places light
frosts occurred; during the latter
part the perature rose decidedly,
and Sunday the warmest day of
the season occurred, with the
thermometer registering between
80 and 100 degrees.
This warm weather has iniuriously
affected late sown spring wheat
and forage crops, which now badly
need rain. In all parts of the
State, except in the coast counties,
fall wheat, barley and rye are be-
ginning to head; in the case of
wheat the straw is unusually short,
and the crop as a whole promises
to be considerably below the
average unless timely rains arrive
to improve the condition of that
sown in the spring.
Corn also needs rain, but the hot
weather has caused it to grow
rapidly during the week. Gardens
are doing fairly well, but COM
plants are increasing of damage to
beans and pumpkins by
insect pests. Hops that came up
are doing nicely, but quite number
OF yards have been abandoned owing
