had faithfully promised Judge
Parker good weather conditions
when he was to receive the formal
notification of his selection as a
nominee for president of the
United States by the Democratic

and comments of the family and
guests on the subject were re-
ceived by the judge with a smile.

upon whom devolved the duty of
formally notifying Judge Parker
of his nomination, arrived accom-
panied by numerous committee.

ceeded at once to deliver the ad-

president. The supreme execu-
tive power of so. O,OOO free peo-

of the perpetuity of our in.

ANOTHER BUILDING FOR FAIR
Great Demand For Exhibit Space
Makes Additional Structure
Necessary,

The great demand for floor space at
the Lewis and Clark Centennial has
made it necessary to construct a new
building for the accommodation of
exhibitors. The executive committee,
at the urgent solicitation of President
Goode, has voted to construct an exhi-
bition palace which will provide 60, 900
feet of additional floor space. Nothing
has been decided as to location or
cost, but it is expected that at least
$5O,OOO will be expended on the new
building. Work will be begun as
soon as possible, and the building will
be ready for exhibits at least a month
before the Fair opens June l. 1t is
thought that the additional $4,000 feet
Of floor space will be sufficient for the
accommodation of exhibitors.

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it
will not be fair for many to lay the
blame on the cook if they begin the
Christmas dinner with little appetite
and end it with distress or nausea. 1t
may not be fair for any to do that
let us hope for the sake of the cook !
The disease dyspepsia indicates bad
stomach, that is a weak stomach,
rather than a bad cook, and for a
weak stomach there is nothing else
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t gives
the stomach vigor and tone, cures
dyspepsia, creates appetite, and makes
eating the pleasure it should be.

county is making some excellent road
improvements on the Grand Ronde
reservation. John Boyer has fine
claim in the river bottom, and is clear
ing large tract of land for meadow
and garden. He says that the land in
the Salmon River valley is very pro-
ductive, and we'll adapted to fruit
, raising and dairYing. He raised one
cabbage this year that weighed %
pounds. The country is rapidly fill
ing up with settlers, and is destined to
become one of the best farming and
stock-raising portions of Western
Oregon.

RUSSIA AT THE EXPOSITION
Cars Ministry of Commerce Cables
for Space at Lewis and Clark
Centennial.

Russian participation in the Lewis
and Clark Centennial, at first despaired
of on account Of the war with Japan,
is now assured. Secretary Reed of
the Exposition has received a cable
gram from the Cars Councillor OF
Commerce, Edward Grunwaldt, stat
ing that the invitation sent by the ex-
position has been accepted and inquir-
ing as to the allotment of space.
The cablegram stating that the
Russian Empire would make an
official exhibit came as something of
a surprise, because Russia made no
official participation in the World S
Fair at st. Louis. Japan arranged
several months ago for space and has
planned an elaborate exhibit.

Fine Vegetable Display

H. G. Campbell, the real estate
dealer, has in his office window a col
lection of vegetables showing what
can be raised in Oregon in dry year.
Five potatoes of the "Yielder" variety
tip the beam at 81 pounds. These
potatoes were raised by w. G. Campbell
on a hill ranch two miles south OF
Dallas. From the W. w. Miller farm
east of town, Mr.. Campbell has secured
a sugar beet weighing % pounds and
10 ounces. This weight would be con-
sidered extraordinary for mangel
wurtzel, and few people have even
seen a sugar beet Of this size.

Local Lewis Society.

J. w. Lewis, secretary Of the Polk
County Pioneer Association, was in
Dallas, Saturday. He says that the
movement to organize Lewis Society
in Oregon is rapidly taking shape,
and that prospects point to a large
membership. The management Of
the Lewis and Clark Fair have named
August u, 1905. as Lewis Day, and it
is expected that the Lewises from all
parts Of Oregon will gather in Port
land on that day to honor the memory
Of Captain Meriwether Lewis, the
leader Of the famous exploring ezpe-
dition. Mr.. Lewis says that people Of
this name are scarce in Polk county,
the only ones he can call to mind be-
ing his owa family, the Lewises on
the Luckiamute, and George Lewis, Of
West Salem. He requests all the
Lewises in the county to report their
names TO him, and he will forward the
list to Portland to be placed on the
membership roll Of the state society.
Mr.. Lewis is a son Of the late William
P. Lewis, one Of the prominent early
pioneers Of Polk county.

Death by suffocation.

B. B. Barnes, a prominent farmer
residing six miles southwest Of
Albany, met death by sufocation in a
tile ditch last Friday. The old gentle
man was laying tiling in a ditch 10
feet deep, and while working in a
stepping position was covered up by
the falling Of the wall, the cave-in
coming so suddenly that he was COM
pletely covered up and suffocated be-
fore help could be given him.-Albany
