BETTER HEALTH" NOW THE CRY
Druggist Geo. e. Greene Advises
the Thin and Sick to use Mi-o-na
and be Plump and Well.

Judging from the advertising columns
of leading magazines and newspapers
there is a wave of physical culture and
health food habits sweeping the coun-
try. Better health is the cry of the
times.
Look into the faces of the men an
women we meet on the streets OF
Brattleboro and see how large proper

and are wrinkled and haggard before
their time. What these people need,
says Druggist George E. Greene is
Mi-o-na, a flesh forming food and a
restorer of health and strength to the
digestive organs.
If YOU feel unhappy and cast down,
if your food fails to digest; II your
skin is sallow: if you are losing flesh !;
if your eyes lack brightness, If you
feel dull and weak, be sensible and use
Ni-o-na. 1t will aid the food to di-
cost il will strengthen the digestive
organs: it will build up the vitality;
II will restore good. firm, healthy flesh,
filing in the outlines and restoring
pleasing plumpness and symmetry.
Wi-o-na has been so uniformly sue
cessful in curing all diseases caused

DEATH IN cIouDBuRsT.

which carried along boulders weighing

upon the town sweeping everything
before it. Scores of people were
crushed by the boulders or hurled
against the rocky bluff and dashed to
pieces. The wall of water passed swift

than 800 bodies were recovered and

Heppner, to property alone, will reach

HE WILL GROW WALNUTS
Jackson County Man Thinks II
Can Be Made a Success.

]. II. Downing of Central Point,
was in Jacksonville Thursday seeking
information as to the feasibility of
growing English walnuts for the mar
Ket. He called on Mr. Britt and Judge
Hanna who each have fine walnut
trees in their yards that are bearing,
to learn whether the trees bore
regularly or not and if the nuts ripen
perfectly. Mr.. Britt's tree, which
is the Oldest in Jacksonville, has
borne nuts for several years that are
of fine quality and in abundance each
season. Judge Hanna's trees are seed
lings from nuts from Mr.. Britt's tree
and they commenced bearing at seven
years. Mr.. Downing has 90 acres of
hill land north of Jacksonville that
he is planning to set TO walnuts and
cherries. One of the reasons for his
selecting these trees is that neither
require spraying aud he does not wish
trees for which he has to wage a
ceaseless warfare with the insect
pests in order to secure a crop. Mr..
Downing's venture will be the first
walnut orchard in Rogue river valley
and the success of it will be watched
with interest by others who have hin

facts became known. Desmarais has
employed counsel and will institute
suit for heavy damages against Bishol
O'Riley and the other participants il

THE LAND IS N0N-MlNERAL
But Valuable Mines are Bcing
Worked in District.

W. A. Richards, commissioner of
the General Land Office, has rendered
a decision to the effect that large
area of alleged mineral lands in Sho-
shone is nonmineral. The case is that
of the Northern Pacific Railroad pro-
testing against the classification of
mineral lands made by the Mineral
Land Commission. A great part of it
has been considered mineral in char
acter for the past 10 years, and many
mineral claims of worth have been
located in the district, but this decls-
ion of the Land Office, unless rever-
sed, will invalidate all mining loca-
tions that have been made on odd
numbered sections. The decision has
caused sensation, and indignation is
rife.
The territory affected by the deois.
ion consists of 81 townships, contain
ing an area of more than 80 square
miles or 30, 900 acres, lying south OF
Wallace in the Occur d'Alene mining
region. The lands were classified as
mineral by commission composed of
Ex- Governor Black, of Utah; Colonel
Ryan, of Rathdrum, and State Sena-
tor Davis, of Idaho, who visited this
district for that purpose in 1899, 1900
and 1901. The hearing of the North
ern Pacific Company's protest was
held at Coeur d Alene last December,
and United States District Attorney
Cozier, of Moscow, appeared on be-
half of the Government. 1t is alleged
that Cozier agreed to the evidence
produced by the railroad company
without attempting to protest, and
that the three years work of the
Government Land Commission was re-
versed by witnesses of the railroad,

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
The New York Herald Makes
Some edictions.

Everything now points to an extrome-
ly listless presidential campaign
next year il the predictions of the
New York Herald, which has been
giving the matter some special at
tention, are to be relied ON. II for
no other reason, tho contest would
lack in first rate importance because
of the extent of the republican mast
cry of the Senate which could not by
any reasonable possibility be overcome
during the next presidential term.
A democratic president could do
nothing without some republican
support. Mr.. Bryan could be elected
and no free silver bill passed. Mr..
Cleveland could be elected and there
need be no tariff revision except ON
republican lines. In these circum-
stances the democrats could not hope
to accomplish much by winning the
pres idcncy; nor would the republicans
as far as organic results are concerned,
lose much. Either side would have
the patronage, In the event of success,
but the American public can never be
aroused to very high pitch OF excite
ment over which two sets of Office
holders shall fll the places. The
house Of representatives., n new body
each two years, might be carried by
the opposition. In fact, the democrats
can hardly olect president without
carrying enough of the country tC
give them the house.
The senate contains 81 repub lican'
and 33 democrats. Ono-third Of the
senate or 30 members, are already
elected for terms which do not enc

republicans aud IL are democrats. OF
those whose terms expire two year
earlier, 10 are republicans and Il

plre with .he present administration
20 are republicans and seven arC
democrats. II the democrats should
begin at once to carry every STATE
that they stood any chance of carry

could not recover the senate befor'
the expiration Of the next presidential
term.
Nor il this outlook without practi
cal effects. IL is commonly remarked
that the stock market will continue
low until the presidential election Ina
been safely passed. But there can b.
no legislation before 1909 in the senatl
affecting railroad or linanical interest
which does not sccuro considerable re-
publican support, and the republican
party may be- counted on to not wan
