WHITE BLACKBERRIES
Fruit Is Fine for Table Use, and
Bushes Bear Until Christmas.


White blackberries are growing
in profusion this summer, on the
ranch of R. Heimbach, at Hills
dale. The berry is a hybrid pro-
pagated from shoots received some
time ago from the East.
Mr.. Heimbach is the first in this
part of the country who has been
able to raise the berry, which has
always been considered a freak
fruit.
He does not intend, however, to
grow it as a novelty, but as a crop,
believing that Oregon soil is just
the soil for the berry. The half a
dozen bushes will bear until
Christmas, when other berries will
be gone. Mr.. Heimbach brought
several boxes to The Telegram
Office, and with the white were
quite number of delicious red
blackberries.
The berry is of a fair size almost
transparent, and the seeds are very
small. The flavor is much milder
than that of the other berries.
These white berries are fine table
fruit, but they will probably not
stand shipping, as they are quite
soft.-Telegram.

PAWNLNG HIS DIAMONDS
Clever Swindler BuncOes a Few
People Id. MedrOrt.

A itinerant peddler circulated
among some of our citizens a few
days ago. The man had a few fine
diamonds that he wanted to raise
a dollar or two on, to "keep him
until he could get some money"
He didn't want but just a little
money, so that he could redeem
his jewels the easier. Among the
gems were one or two that were the
real thing, but although these were
the ones he showed, they were not
the ones the customer received.
His hand forgot it's cunning once,
however, and he handed out a ring
with real diamond in it. After
he discovered his loss, he was not
long in "redeeming" the ring, and
soon after faded away into the
darkness, seeking pastures new.
Several people have his diamonds
in their possession, but they are
not exhibiting them much now
adays.-M Medford Mail.

LARGEST ADVERTISERS
Who They Are and How Much They
Are Supposed to Spend.

In reply to the question, "Who
are the ten largest advertisers in
the United States, and what is the
approximate amount Of money
each spends annually in adver-
tising?" Printers Ink says;
The firms quoted below are con-
sidered the largest advertisers in
this country. Whether theamounts
set against their names are correct
or nearly correct is question:
American Tobacco Co., 81 100000;
DR.. Pierce, $4,000; c. I. Hood &
Co., $75O,O0O; Peruna Co., $780,
900; Castoria, 100000; National

Royal Baking Powder, $25O,OO0;
Postum Food Co., 100000; total,
Sc, 100000.
The total amount expended for
all sorts of publicity in this country
has been estimated to be as much
as $6OO,O00,OO0. Probably $780,
100000 would come nearer the fact.

framed archway. Thus, for many
suns, Multnomah ruled until tn,
raven locks of youth had changec
to wintry locks of snow. Then tht
spirits of the twin mountains grew
angry and their rage shook tht
valleys and forced asunder the
hills. The brave heart of Multi.
nomah felt the coming of the red
mans doom, yet felt no fear. From
his lodge he stalked at midnight,
and, guiding from the shore his
dark canoe, sped through currents
throbbing with hidden calamity to
the Island Of his Dead. In its
darkness he sought and found the
withered form Of her whom he had
loved and wooed when the subtle
strength Of youth was in his heart
and arm. He clasped her in a last,
long, wild embrace, and waited for
the end.
1t came. The mountain demons
broke their chains and opened forth
their walls of awful rage. From
their bowels lesser mountains
hurled, and molten oceans drowned
the valleys and the hills. Light
nings rent lurid chasms in the sky;
thunders beloved forth eternal
doom. Then through the chaos
came sound unspeakable, shaking
earth and rending sky. The
Bridge of the Gods" had fallen,
and with it had fallen the red man.
"The Indian race was doom,d to die;
In unknown graves the brave would lie
The valley break and sandy plain
No more would sing the warriors fame,
Nor ring with shoutings Of the hunt;
No more would know the battles front;
The Indian race was doomed to die"
This is the legend Of the Colum-
bia the Bridge Of the Gods"-and
when the aged chieftain's tale is
told, his gaze falls to the agitated
and disturbed flow of the mighty
river, then rises with a wild and
pitiful longing to the northern
shore, where stands clearly defined
the precipitous abutment TO the
Bridge Of the Gods"
Thus, through scenes of naatnh-
Ices beauty, and romance, We
journey-once the kingdom Of
mighty race, now the burying
ground Of fast dying people. We
question "what Of those that re-
main," and in our minds a picture
arises of old Multnomah, grim and
grand and lordly, with Will Of
iron, yet a heart that was noble
and wrapped in the love Of a
woman. Are the sons OF such sires
80 tall and SO stalwart2 Alas,
they are rot. Their ancient glory
all lost; forgetful Of even the arts
that their sires held sacred stepped |
in disease, with scarcely the glim-
mer of an old fire remaining, there
are few to remind US of what the
red man once was.
Our journey is over. We must
hasten from the past to the present
from romance to reality. But
oft we'll redream the legends and
the evening we foated
upon the moonlit waters of the
Columbia. And, when body and
mind are weary, and soul may be
sick and longing for something to
feast it, may we lose ourselves in
'the continuous woods where rolls
The Oregon, and hears no sound |
save his own dashings."

A CHASTITY FIND
DecompOsed Body of Unknown Man
Found in willamette River.

The body Of an unknown man
was found floating in the william
cite river, opposite the old Ankeny
place, near Independence, Thurs.
day afternoon. The body was
found by G. S. Cooper, who tied it
securely to the bank Of the river,
and at once sent word to Coroner
cary. rte coroner b6fng absent
from the city, Justice Of the Peace
Hardy Holman repaired to the
scene and took possession Of the
corpse.
Friday morning the acting coro-
ner empaneled jury and held an
inquest, but nothing was brought
to light to establish the identity OF
the dead man.
The body had been in the river
for several months and was in a
bad state Of decomposition. all the
flesh from the face and head being
entirely gone. The body was
clothed in suit of plain working
clothes and pair of heavy leather
boots. The pockets were empty,
and nothing whatever was found
by which the remains could be
identified. The unknown corpse
was taken to Independence for
burial.
[LATER: 1t is reported that the
body was identified by a Mrs.
Armstrong as that of her husband
The Armstrong family lived near
the Willamette River, between
Buena Vista and Albany, and about
five months ago Mr.. Armstrong
left home to attend a school meet
ing and was never seen nor heard
Of afterward. How he came to his
death in the icy waters of the
Willamette River will probably
forever remain mystery.]
Visitors to the Oregon state fair
this fall will witness the greatest
racing ever seen in this state.
Salem business men have raised
purse of $4,000 for 2:17 PAGERS to be
raced for on Salem Day, which has
30 horses entered. These horses
are from the best stables in Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, California and
Montana, and it is expected at
least twenty Of them will start,
furnishing the largest field of high
class horses ever seen on a track on
the Pacific coast. Portland, too,
has contributed purse of $4,000
for 2:20 trotters to be raced for on
Portland Day. This race has 27
horses entered, Of which most Of
them will start, making two of the
greatest racing events ever held
this side the Rocky mountains. If
you are fond of high-class racing,

In laying the cornerstone of the
great lava arch the gateway to Vel
lowstone park at Gardiner. on April
24. 1908, said:
The Yellowstone park is something
absolutely unique in the world. No
where else in any civilized country is
there to be founu such Il tract of veri-
table wonderland. where at the same
time not only the scenery of wilder
ness, but the wild creatures of the
park are Scrupulously preserved as
they were, the only change being that
these same wild creatures have been
so carefully protected as to show lit
orally astounding tamcncss. This
park was created and now is adhin
istered for the benefit and the enjoy
ment of the people. The only way
that the people as a whole can secure
to themselves and their children the
enjoyment in perpetuity of what the
Yellowstone park has to give is by as
Stunning the ownership in name of the
nation, and by jealousy safeguarding
and preserving the scenery, the for
ests, and the creatures. At present it
is rather singular that greater num-
Der OF people come from Europe IMAM
from our own eastern states to see
it,"
Gardiner, the Gateway to the park,
is the terminus of the Northern Pa
cific's branch line from Livingston at
the boundary of the park, and park

rrIumphs of Modern surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back. or they may be re-
moved entirely; bones are spliced;
pipes take the place of diseased see
tions of the veins; antiseptic dress
ings are applied to wounds, bruises,
burns and like injuries before infiam-
nation sets in, which causes them to
heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. 1t is an
antiseptic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain and
soreness. Keep bottle of Pain Balm
in your home and it win save you
time and money, not to mention the
Inconvenience and suffering which
such injuries entail. For sale by all

The nerve fluid or current is the
force that builds the different parts
and organs of the body, and carries
throughout the organism, orders the
various nerve centers for the distribu-
ton of the building material in the
blood
The veins are naturally provided
with a muscular coat and also with
delicate valves, which regulate the
flow of blood according to natural de-
mands.
In varicocele the proper anatomical
construction of the veins is interfered
with and they become enlarged, or
dilated; local stagnation of blood fol-
lows and the vital nerves themselves
being closely interviewer with the
mass of varicose veins, must undergo
slow death, together with important
tissues and organs.
Naricocele denies the most vital or
gans the nerve food that supplies a
man with the very elements and es-
sence of life. No one should permit
varicoceIe to exist under the impress
sion that it will be improved by any
thing short of an absolute cure by my
Electric wave treatment.
