w EEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
j; isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
FORGET it and be better for the
treatment. If it is Consump-
ton yea can't expect to be
cared at once, but if you will
l-gin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
noot you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

TORPEDO Works DESTROYED.

st. Petersburg, July 5.--As a result
Of the receipt Of news of a fire which
took place at the torpedo works at
Cronstadt last night, this city was to-
night filled with the widest rumors,
including one to the effect that the
Peterhof Palace had been blown up.
The damage at Cronstadt was con-
fined to the torpedo mechanism shops,
which we're almost wholly destroyed,
together with 20 Whitehead torpedoes.
Five of the torpedoes had war heads
attached and they. exploded, which
added to the fire and the excitement
A considerable quantity OF coal stored
in the works was also burned. An
alarm was given in time to prevent loss
of life and more serious loss Of proper
ty.
The authorities here do not attach
serious importance to the accident,
and say that the workAwill soon be
able to Resume at full time.

NEW HOPE FOR PEACE.
Diplomacy May Soon Enter Into the Far
Eastern Struggle.

Washington, July g. While the
officials here are satisfied from their
private advices that the recent visit of
King Edward to his nephew, Emperor
William, was not brought about by a
purpose to initiate movement toward
the restoration of peace between Russia
and Japan, there is reason to believe
that some very careful and discreet in
quiries as to the opportunities Of some
such overtures at this time have ema-
mated from Washington. 1t may be
stated that the result has been to dis
close the fact that neither OF the bellig-
erents was yet in the humor to sue for
peace, nor even TO entertain overtures
from any third power on that subject.
The state department will continue
to maintain the friendly position 1t has

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
ALFALFA Is TAKING ROOT.
Successful Results Of Experiments In
Marion County,

~~ys
Salem--The experiments conducted
by Gilbert 4 Patterson in growing al
falfa on one Of their farms near this
city seems to be very satisfactory in its
results. The alfalfa was sowp three
years ago, on bottom land. For two
seasons the crop was very light but the
alfalfa is now becoming we'll set and
seems to be a good producer.
The first cutting this season yielded
ten tons on three acres. The alfalfa is
now foot tall and there is every pros
pect for yield Of from one to two tons
per acre for the second cutting, with
some fall pasturage left. The dryness
OF the season has not yet had any ap-
preciabe effect upon the crop.
Where the alfalfa is growing there is
about IL feet Of soil on top OF gravel
containing water. Presumably the
roots of the alfalfa find their way down
to the water or at any rate 20 deep
enough so that the dry weather does
not affect them.
A number of farmers in this section
OF the valley are experimenting with
alfalfa, and though they have difficulty
in getting start they believe that the
ultimate results will be satisfactory
and that this fodder plant will become
a common product in this section of
the state. The fact that 1t need not be
resown every year or two, that it is
not affected by drouth, that it can be
cut before and after the usual June
rains, gives il lite chief value as farm
product in the valley.

Large Grain Elevator Is Burned and
Three Lives Lost.

Boston, July 1.-THE immense grain

company, one Of the largest in the
world, together with three of the COM
pany's fIeighthouses on piers Nos.

of over 81 100000
Three lives are supposed to have been
lost. Thirty-dve sailors of the Allan

themselves from the flames, which had
communicated to their vessel. Olga

man, ae the supposed victims.
Flynn's body has been recovered.
Most OF the crew swan ashore, but
IL Of their number required hospital
attention. Before the fire could be
controlled all the upper works had been
burned.
The fire started during a heavy
thunder storm, when bolt of lightning
struck one of the freighthouses, in
which was stored quantity OF hay.
The flames spread ranidly to adjoining
buildings, including the elevator, and
the larger part Of the fire apparatus OF
the city was summoned to save other
property. The elevator is figuied at
$400,000 Losses on the freight
houses, their contents, the pier and the
steamer Austria will easily swell the
total to more than 81 900, 900.
Among the steamship companies
who will suffer losses ON freight de-
stroyed are the Allan line, tho scandi-
navian and the Wilson.

twice instructed the chairman Of the
Nebraska delegation to say that his
name must not go before the conven-
tion. In the face OF this, however, he
received over 40 votes.
The committee ON resolutions in its
report to the convention realfirmed adj
herence to the basic truths of the Oma-
ha platform OF 1899, and OF the subse-
quent platforms OF 1896 and 1900. The
platform then demands that all money
be issued directly by the government,
every dollar TO be full legal tender;

the right oil labor to organize, and fav-
ors the enactment of legislation for the
improvement of the condition OF the
wage earners; demands the initiative
and re erendum; favors prohibition of
the alien ownership Of lands; demands
the withdrawal of special privileges of
trusts and monopolies, and declares the
government should own and control the

PESTS DESTROY ALFALFA.
Great Damage Done In Morrow County
by 0rasshoppers.

Heppner--Grasshoppers by the mill
lion are appearing in some localities in
Morrow county. They have settled in
great numbers in the Sand Hollow
country, farming district about ten
miles northeast Of Heppner, where they
are doing considerable damage. They
are doing the most damage to alfalfa
and the lay crop, and in some places
are taking gardens.
The first crop of alfalfa, which was
immense, has practically all been
saved, but it is feared that very little
of the second crop can be saved, owing
to the ravages Of the millions of these
insects that have been congregating in
the alfalfa fields. AT Hynd Bros, a
big raL' h in Sand Hollow, they are so
thick in the alfalfa that in the evening
after the insects go to roost on the
heads OF the alfalfa plants they can be
scooped up by the gallon by taking
coal oil can or bucket and striking
through the grass. 1t is only the work
of short time to fill gunny sack.
Some of them caught in this way are
being fed to the hogs.
Along Willow creek, where there are
many alfalfa fields, the grasshoppers
are numerous and doing considerable
damage in some places they are attack
ing wheat fields but are not doing much |
damage, owing to the fact that the
grain is nearing maturity and is getting
hard. However, they are stripping the
green leaves from the stalks. lr the
wheat belt they have not appeared in
sufficient numbers to cause any alarm
and the damage TO the wheat crop will
be of little consequence.
