No Worlds Fair Headquarters.

Early in the season it was hoped
that the national grange might pro-
vide suitable grange headquarters at
the st. Louis worlds fair, but the fair
management did not seem to be as en-
thusiastic over 1t as the executive
committee was and delayed making
arrangements for suitable building
until finally the committee abandoned
the idea. 1t is much to be regretted,
inasmuch as 1t would have been
pleasant meeting place for the grang-
ers throughout the United States and
would have made known the work Of
the grange through Its representatives
there and through its literature, and
many might have become acquainted
with its aims and purposes who now
know but little Of 1t.

HARRY ABBOTT WILL BUILD
AT CORNER OF SECOND
AND POPLAR.
Plans Laid to Begin Work in the
Spring on Handsome Brick Struc-
ture for Business.

The first step toward putting Pop
lar street within the business district
will be taken up in the spring when
the Abbott estate will erect brick
building at the corner of Second and
Poplar, Immediately back of the furni-
ture warehouse just completed for the
Drumheller company. The erection of
a business block will probably follow
steps to be taken to pave Poplar from
East street to Fourth or Fifth as
planned by the council.
1T is definitely decided that the Alb
bot estate will erect a brick on the
corner in the spring but the height Of
the structure will depend somewhat
upon the business needs at that time, -
J. Harry Abbott, manager of the es-
tate, said yesterday afternoon. Poplar
IS bound to become a business street
inst as Alder has, although it may
be several years yet The trend of the
business is to the east and south and
Poplar street property is becoming
more valuable for business purposes

according to the announcement Of a
foreign builder, VINO claims to have
three cars under construction which
will be sold with the guarantee to trav-

These cars are to be listed in this
country at $4,000 and one-third Of
that amount will be returned to the
purchaser if the car fails to develop at
the first trial over a suitable course a
speed of 12O miles an hour. They will
be propelled by four cylinder motors
developing 2O0-horse power. There is
no differential and the drive is direct
on all speeds. The cars will weigh
under 22O4 pounds. 1t is probable that
at least one of these cars will be driven

OPEN RIVER ASSOCIATION MAKES
APPEAL FOR BUSINESS FOR
PORTAGE ROAD.
Hopes That Line Will Receive Loyal
and Undivided Support Of All the
Shippers.

The Open River association, through
its president. J. A. Smith, and secre-
tary, w. ]. Mariner. has issued the fol-
lowing notice to shippers:
Through the efforts of the Open
River association a through boat line
has been established between Port
land and points on the upper Col
umbia river. The steamer Mountain
Gem. operating in connection with the
Regulator line and the Portage rail-
way. leaves Cello every Tuesday for
Arlington and way points. For service
beyond Irrigon as far as Kennewick
special arrangements can be made.
Freight is received at the Regulator
dock. foot of Alder street, on Tues
day and Friday.
1T is confidently hoped that this
line will receive the loyal and unrf-
vided support of every business man
and property holder in this city and
on the Columbia river. 1t Is the first
attempt since the river service was
abandoned nearly a generation ago to
make use of the most important fac
tor in the development of this coun-
try-the water haul-which controls
all rates, transcontinental as we'll as
local. We feel we have the right to
ask your support for this enterprise.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-D. Wads-

dent of the Lincoln university of Ches-
ter county, Pa, yesterday made a vain
attempt to present to President Roose-
Welt a pot of 'rattlesnake weed,' that
he guarantees to kill these venomous
reptiles on sight. He visited the
White House with a flower pot care
fully wrapped in Japanese paper nap
kins, containing several varieties of
rare plants which Cannon denOminated
scientific vegetation He declared
that these weeds will kill rattlesnakes
and that these reptiles always avoid
them. A secret-service agent refused
to receive the pot and the negro left
the White House bearing his precious
burden, declaring that he will give 1T
to Mr.. Roosevelt when he visits the
city again.

trict began here today and will con-
tinue tomorrow. The bulk of the tim
Der offered is cedar, tamarack and
spruce. The cedar is suitable for
poles, the tamarack for railroad ties
and the spruce for pulp wood. There
is also some pine, but not in great
lots. In spite of the fact that under
the new ruling the purchasers have
to pay the full amount of their pur-
chases cash down, instead of merely
twenty-five per cent as in former
years, the number o. purchasers is
quite large and the bidding spirited.

REDUCTION OF EXPENSES Or
DERED WHERE POSSIBLE-EF-
FICIENCY is THE AIM. .
Each Succeeding Year Sees e Large In
crease in the Business of the
Department.

Postmaster General Cortelyou re-
Gently completed and forwarded to the
secretary of the treasury the estimates
for the postoff1ce department for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1907. They
show a reduction of expenses wherever
it is believed it will not impair the
service, but provision is made for de-
velopment Of postal facilities to meet
the growing needs of all sections OF
the country.
The estimates for the postal service at
large-the field service-aggregatin
s193, 900, 900, an increase over last years
appropriation of about $27,00O,000. This
increase represents the normal growth
Of the service based upon what the
postal authorities regard as the most
careful conservative estimates.
Each succeeding year sees a large
increase in the business of the depart
ment. The principal items in the in
crease are the rural delivery service,
the railway mail service, compensation
to postmasters and their clerks and
the compensation of letter carriers.
Rural Delivery Service.
For the maintenance Of rural del1v-
cry service and its proper extension
over $4,000, 900 will be required. This
is an increase of $4,000 900 over the APP
preparation for the current year, which
in turn is over $5,00OO00 more than
that of last year so that the present
estimate is s1,40oo00 less than the
increase of the present over the pre-
ceding year.
That the extension of the pneumatic
tube service is contemplated is shown
by the fact that the estimate carries
$4,000 more than the current appro-
priation.

Cost to the People.

The deficit for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1905, was $14,572,5S4.
"This amount, the difference be-
tween the expenditures and the reVe-
nues of the department" it is officially
announced, "may be said to represent
the actual cost of the postal service
to the people. If recent calculations
are as accurate as they nave been fire.
quently in the past they afford good
reason for believing that the deficit for
the year ending June 80, 1906 will be
considerably less. 1t is an interesting
fact that the total revenue for the ifs
cal year 1905 exceeded the total ex-
penditures for the fiscal year, 1904, by
nearly $500,000."

February is a month Of severe storms
and intense cold. -,
Even IN the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above wlntry
attitudes, February brings sudden changes
OF temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees in
a single night. =, :.
Therefore, the following health hints
are applicable to the whole OF North
America:
Ventilation
The sleeping rooms should be well ven
tilated, but so as to avoid direct currents
OF air.
Batting.
Those in vigorous health should take
a cod water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble health
should take q brisk dry-towel-rub every
morning.
Diet.
The diet should be a generous one, in
GLIDING meat, and occasionally fresh vege'
tables.
Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
short. as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during the
day.
Clothing. :,
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept warm
and dry, day and night.
Pe-ru-nG.
When u%navoidably exposed to cold or
wet, q few doses of Perura will avert
bad consequences.
Precdutf0n.
When seized with a chill, or even slight
chilliness, a dose of Peruna should be
taken at once o.

Pink and Silver.

An altogether attractive evening
dress by Paquin has just been shown.
1t is of white net and is trimmed with
seemingly endless rufles and ruchings
of V~alenciennes lace an inch and an
inch and a half in width. This scheme
finishes the skirt at the foot, and is re-
peated three times above, though this
upper trio do not cross the front
breadth. Where they stop each side
there's a dainty silver ornament that
looks like lace. Very fascinating is the
coat-like corsage Of pink silk. 1t is en-
broidered with silver in the most deli
cate fashion. There are little coat-tails
and there are dainty elbow sleeves,
but there isn't much coat at the front.
1t is cut away to show the net and the
little Val. ruf1es. There is a chemi-
settle effect Of the net and lace. A pc
culiar feature is a cross-over-like drap-
cry Of the pink silk across the front.
In addition to this there are the most
charming buttons Of coral, with silver
deposit.

b Power.

In reality, the Christian religion it.
self must stand or fall with the state
ment that prayer is not only a power
but the very mightiest power that any
human being car grasp. For the
Founder of the Christian religion de-
clared repeatedly and most emphat-
ically that there is no limit to the
power of believing prayer to accom-
plish it's object, and if His teaching
on that subject is not reliable, then
none of His teaching can be, and it
is absurd to worship Him. His teach
ing is reliable because He is the Word
of God, the authoritative Revealer
of the mind and will of God; because
He Himself is God. Therefore We wor-
ship Him, and believe.

Electric Power to Flows.


The Societa Elettrotecnia Italiana Of
Turin has invented and constructed de
vices for the application Of electric
power to plows and other farm machin
cry, writes Consul Cueno from Turin
Italy. The experiment of blowing by
electric power was recently made neal
this city in the presence Of representa-
tive men from different parts Of Italy
and, it is reported, with gratifying
success.
The device consists of two power
cars, which are stationed at each side
of the field, and between which are
stretched cables attached to the plow
The electric current is taken from
trolley line; a current of about 5G
volts is said to be needed. Each cal
is said to communicate twenty-five
horsepower, which a safely be in
creased to forty horsepower. The
plow is pulled by the cables from ont
side Of the field to the other, and wher
it reaches the end of the furrow i
stops automatically, the current being
cut off. It can be u backward 0!
forward with ease. One man manage!
the plow, and each ear is operated by
one man. Thus three men do all the
work.
OF course. much depends on the con
dition Of the soil, but it is said thai
from seven to fifteen acres can bt
plowed in twelve hours. These power
cars are said to be as easily managed
as traction engines, and their powel
can be applied to threshing machines
corn shelters, pumps, grain drills, etc.

There are those who ridicule the idea
that prayer can actually accomplish
anything, because they cannot under
stand how prayer can either affect
Gods action or change in any way the
current Of events on earth. Such reas-
oning is extremely shallow. The wisest
man cannot tell the why or the where
fore of some of the commonest facts
of natural science; is it not childish
then for any nan to undertake to limit
spiritual truth by the measure Of his
capacity to see the a for it or the
reasonableness OF it? Facts are facts
whether they agree with any system
of logic or not. And the fact that
prayer is a mighty power is attested
by abundant and incontestable facts.
