There were a few manufacturers
from outside the capital city who
had displays, but THE NUMBER
WAS SMALL. They have not learn
ed the Importance OF putting up a
state exhibit.
The people of Oregon should give
preference to wares an articles made
at home, II they want TO build up the
Industries of the state. But the Ore
gon manufacturers must take all the
steps necessary TO introduce HIS
manufactures.
The eastern manufacturer goes 10
great extent TO advertise his i'm

exhibits. and TO force his articles
Into general use. The HOME MAN
tFACruRER can do the same.
He can do II far more easily than
the outsider as the people NAT.

The Oregon manufacturer and the
people OF Oregon must pay more at

Salem and other valley cities have
a polluted water supply, what is
wrong in admitting to the whole
world that Portland people use some
of this same polluted water? The
menace of typhoid sewer water as It
is to any other city, in proportion as
they use it. OF course. If no part of
Portland uses sewage water, then
they cannot be subject to this criti-
stem. We have copied the Oregon
ion editorial at its worst, and would
like to have AN HONEST CONFESS
SION that Willamette river water is
part of the water supply of that city
as well as the other towns of the
valley.

There is more catarrh in this Sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced 1t a local dis
ease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by'F. J. Cheney & Co.,
