were removed from the brain, where

about half an inch across was resting
on his gray matter. AS soon as the

anesthetic he was able to speak CO.

DOUGLAS
COUNTY
PRUNES
Circular Of Interest to Grow
erS to Western Oregon

The Umpqua Valley Prune Associa
tion takes this method of placing be
fore the prune growers a few items
gathered by representative of the
association while on an extended triI
among the consumers of the East.
We have a letter from this repre-
sentative in which he states. THAT
great damage has been done to the
Oregon prune in the East by the pub
fishing and republishing of the report
that Oregon prunes were rotting in
the bins of the warehouses on the
coast.
THAT such reports. in the absence
OF any evidence to the contrary. has
injured the reputation of the Oregon
prune very materially.
THAT the Growers in handling their
fruit should abandon the use OF lye.
and check by use of clean, hot water,
and also that, in order to reap the
full benefit of the prune industry. the
grower should or rather must. be in
position to supply the jobbing trade
all the year round.
THAT the Eastern trade is not par.
ticularly partial to the California
prune, but that the French prune is
known in the East as the California
prune, has been advertised as such
whether 1t came from Oregon or not.
That he found by actual count only
five dealers who personally preferred
the California to the Oregon fruit,
thus giving over 90 per cent of the
expert fruit dealers in favor of the
Oregon prune"
We might further state that the
Umpqua Valley Prune Association
has been up to the best, and that it
has made for itself name that Is be-
coming known In the East. or all
the cars sent out from the house there
was no word of fault.
We might incidentally report in con.
nection herewith that we have been
to some trouble to ascertain the pres.
ent condition of the Italian crop. and
from all reports the Italians will be
almost practical failure in this
county. The prime cause is that the
unusually warm weather just at the
time the fruit came in bloom, fol.
lowed by several days of cold rain, is
causing the fruit to drop.
We are also informed that at the
time of the cold rain here the Will.
lamette valley was visited by a Sc
we're frost, which in all probability
damaged the crop in that locality

The old way Of taking Depsin, bis

wrong, They may be put up In tab
lets or liquid, the result Is just the
I same. The object is 10 create arti-
ficlal digestion, but this does not make
cure. Stop taking the pepsin, etc,
and you have your dyspepsia or indi-
gestion back again. People use CO
calne or opium for nervous troubles
and slck-headache. II does not cure,
stop taking the drugs and the pain and
distress return. The only common
sense method Is 10 drive out OF the
system the cause OF dyspepsia and
sick headache by cleansing the stom-
ach and bowels, AT the same time us
ing a medicine that will act on the liv-
sr. This forces through the glands OF
the stomach the digestive fluid that

If the board would abolish the office
of principal of the East school, and
consolidate the office of city superin-
tendent with that. and make Mr.. Trav-
er perform the duties OF both places.
Mr.. Traver did not object to this, as
he teaches now great deal Of the
time. The retention Of City Supt.
Traver is due to the stand OF Messrs.
Condit and Croisan, who would not
vote to retain the relatives OF Demo
cratic members unless they dropped
their fight on the city superintendent.
It is understood their fight Is not per-
sonal, but, having gone on record as
opposed to anything above the ninth
grade, they could not support the city
superintendent in his determination
to add grades above the ninth. The
Democratic members of the board
considered that they had accom-
plished a great feat in cutting on the
principal of the East school and put
ting the schools back where they
were when Prof. Yoder was filling
BOTH offices. The Republican mem
bers Of the board made a clear stand
for progress in the Salem public
schools, and have been heartily con
graduated by the friends OF the

last night as he took the train for Eu-
gene where he lectures at the county
institute, but would not discuss mat
ters.

~ ApDlauded

St Joseph, Mo-, July 2.-The name OF
Joseph w. Folk, the st. Louis circuit
attorney and Doodle prosecutor, was
loudly cheered at Fridays session of
the Young Peoples Christian union.
Rev. H. H. Marlin, of Pittsburg, made
an address in which he said:
There is a man in this state in
whom the worlds manhood is justly
proud and he is the product or a conn
mon vital faith. OF Americans this
man is among the bravest and noblest.
If the corruption he uncovered is Mis-
souri's shame, the man who had the
courage to lift the lid from a malodo-
rous iniquity is Missouri's glory. Other
states possess as deep guilt, as black
a stain. as base treachery against
the public trust, but they have not as
yet manifested that they hold within
their borders a man of his stature and
moral power"
He said Missouri owns in Mr.. Folk
king and believes that the people
possess the righteous convictions which
will give him a crown and throne In
closing, he dramatically exclaimed:
Hail to the man whom no one owns
but Cod" Throughout the address
the speaker was interrupted by deafen-
ing applause.
