drop few more lines for the Inde-
pendent. Freewater is small town
of only 200 inhabitants, Melton, Ore.
joins Freewater and is beautiful little
town of 1900 people; has five church
buildings, high school and college. Am
glad to say there are no saloons to dis
grace the town and am informed it
never did have. We are only two miles
fromthe town. The soil in the valley
where we have to irrigate is black
loan and full of gravel, but when it
comes to raising berries it is hard to
beat. Thousands of crates of straw
berries are shipped from here. From
$500 to $500 is made per acre on the
Hood river strawberries. All kinds of
fruit do well here. The people here do
not cultivate their orchards like they
do in Colorado. They are sown to blue
grass, white and red clover and seem
to do as well as if cultivated. Wehave
the best drinking water in the country.
The water we irrigate with is as clear
as crystal. Do we have any fish? Well
should say! caught one in the ditch
the other day. salmon-trout q inches
long. This valley (Walla Walla) is
thickly stttled with people from every
state in the union. Some have been
here many years, ask them how they
like it, they will answer wouldn't live
any where else, no better country for
health and for person to make liv-
ing" Land here is pretty high, from
500 to $4OO per acre in the irrigated
district In the grain section land is
much cheaper. Winter wheat is now

Cuban Diarrhoea.

U. S. soldiers who served in Cuba
during the Spanish war know what the
disease is, and that ordinary remedies
have little more effect than so much

ever, that can always be depended upon
as will be seen by the following certifi-
cate from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs Of Hous-
ton. Texas: 81 hereby certify that
