CUMMINGS & BROWN.
CHOICE MEATS, LARD, ETC.


Lots of butchers know all about
meats except how to cut them, but
Cummings & Brown, the proprietors
of this popular market are past
masters in this art.
They personally inspect all meat
going over their blocks and know
that it is all of high grade. When
you desire good roast or nice
steak give this market your order
and you may always rest assured of
getting it. One feature worthy of
noting about this market is the fact
that your child will receive the same
treatment and have the order filled
in the same satisfactory manner that
you would receive should you place
the order in person.
These gentlemen are enterprising
and are ever ready to advance the
best interests of our growing city,

UMATILLA'S PROSPERITY.

The Umatilla farmer wears a pad
upon his back-his gallus chafes his
shoulder meath the weight of buck
skin sack: his wheat has gone to mar
ket and his purse is filled with pelf,
and the pad beneath his gallus keeps
from blistering himself His pocket
is of buckskin to hold the bulging
store-the yield was A. and the price
was -. The weight of twenties on
one side makes him walk in curves.
This bumper crop" occasion is trying
on his nerves. The stocking meath
the pillow is sadly out of date-it's
filled and running over, likewise it's
bulging mate. The tin can in the cell
lar has long been flooded DER, and
stll the wheat receipts come in and
still the prices soar! o, Umatilla far
mer with pad upon your back, long
may your gallus blister you, dragged d
down by weighty sack! Long may
your wife's old stocking be filled and
running DER. long may the yield climb
upward! long may the prices soar!
Just as you plow with purpose, just
as you live for peace, may yet your
purse be heavy, your blisters still in
creased

THE BEAUTIFUL COLUMBIA.
John Muir's Description Of the West
EN- River

John Muir says of the Columbia
river: "The Columbia. viewed from
the sea to the mountains, is like a
rugged, broad-topped, picturesque old
oak, about six hundred miles long and
measured across the spread of its up
per branches, nearly thousand miles
wide; the main limbs are gnarled and
swollen with lakes and lake-like ex-
pansions, while innumerable smaller
lakes shine like fruit among the
smaller branches"
No more beautiful sight can be seen
than the great ships, laden with lum-
Der and grain. moving grandly down
the magnificent stretch of water and
out upon the oblivion of that sea"
which spans almost one-third of the
earth's circumference. To this land
from which they sail. they assure a
permanent and rich market for
everything II can produce.
Originally known as the Oregon"
It was, in 1893, renamed by Captain
Clark, an American sailing master who
entered It's mouth and called II the
Columbia" after the ship he sailed
In.
In 1904, the sources OF the Columbia
were discovered by Lewis and Clark.

site the source OF the Missouri. and

PROMISE OF THE NORTHWEST.
Oregon and Washington Offer Un.
equalled Opportunities.

With the annihilation OF distance by
the railroads and with widely increas-
ing familiarity with its resources the
Pacific northwest is rapidly filling up
with progressive homeseekers, active
business men, and shrewd stockmen,
miners and farmers who add yearly
to its wealth and importance.
Its cities are extending their COM
merce to all parts of the earth. Its
wharves are lined with shipping, its
farms and orchards laden with a
wealth of crops.
In oregon there are over 80, 0,000,0
of acres of government land open to
settlement, and in Washington over
100000 acres. The railways also
offer land for sale at prices to induce
settlers. Much Of this land is covered
with valuable timber, and when
cleared is exhaustless in fertility,
yielding bounteous crops of wheat,
oats, barley, rye, hops, fruit and all
the other farm and garden products,
of the most favored regions of the
temperate zone.
Churches and schools, academies
and colleges dot the valleys, and these
states stand today very high in rank
in point of the percentage of school
enrolment and absence of illiteracy.
Throughout the three states, in the
territory east Of the Cascade noun
tains, there are regions which depend
/ upon irrigation for their fertility, and
here fruits flourish wonderfully, as
does everything else that is watered
and tended.
Associations of capitalists have gone
Systematically into the business of ir-
rigation. building dams and forming
natural reservoirs, from which the
water is distributed to customers.
Many settlers get their permanent wa
ter supply in this way, and large areas
have thus been reclaimed and are the
most permanently successful of farm
ing lands, because the degree of mois-
turc can be accurately controlled.

OREGON'S FOREST WONDERS.
Forestry Building at Portland Sym
bOI of the West

Nothing in the entire west is more
typical of the great spirit of the coun-
try, its massive proportions and huge
magnitude, than the forestry building
at the Lewis and Clark fair.
Charles II. Denman writes for ste eel
Points" the following terse descrip-
ton of this forest wonder of Oregon:
Beyond doubt. the Forestry building
at the Lewis and Clark exposition, was
the most impressive structure on the
grounds, and many were the exclama-
tions of surprise and delight of visitors
who viewed its massive proportions.
1t Is now the property Of the city of
Portland and has been improved by
the addition of concrete foundation.
1t is 2O6 feet long, 102 feet wide, 70
feet to the ridge-pole and contains
2l,945 square feet The logs of which
1t is constructed are all of Douglas fir,
except four of the outside pillars
which are OF Pacific red cedar. They

1t " feet, with a height of 81 feet.
To cover the roof required 10000 fir
shakes and $4,000 fir bark shingles.
IL the logs were placed end to end
they would cover a distance of two
miles and each one Is five to six feet
in diameter. Eight miles of fir poles
were also used. The building is sur
rounded by balcony 10 feet wide.

and for other purposes, and this
means the development of a consider
able industry. One grower from the
Hood River district holds the record
of having gathered $4,000 pounds Of
cherries to the acre. netting him ST.
crop; and a carload of oregon cher
ries last year sold in Boston for $4,000.
At Vancouver Wash, on the Column
bia river north of Portland, $500
pounds were sold from one tree, indi-
eating that their successful cultivation
is confined to no particular locality
Many tons are shipped at top prices
and they are not yet raised in suffi-
cient quantities to fill the demand.

sippi or st. Lawrence and for more
than 125 miles, the tide is felt; as far
as the Cascades in fact. where. at
enormous expense. the government
has put in locks, thus permitting ves-
sells to go through. Nor has eXpendi-
ture been spared else where in striving
to make the great river navigable and
safe. The bar at its mouth. once a
barrier to traffic, has been removed
by the construction of an enormous
jetty, which maintains at all times
great depth Of water.

SWEET OREGON.

know not whence thy mystery came,
Nor whence the magic of thy name,
Thou haunted land of whispering pine,
Whose heartbeats answer unto rhine.
SO near to thee my spirit dwells-
Thy every mood mine own foretells:
Thy very shadows have the art
OF leaving imprint in my heart
And where thy myriad minstrels sing
There doth my answering anthem
ring.
Thou sainted land where sleep the
brave,
Crowned and embraced by cloud and
wave.
For thee the fartherest deserts beat;
Or breast yon sea where hearts grow
faint,
Or barefoot thread without complaint
The fartherest borders meath the sun,
If but for thee it need be done.
Bert Huffman.

Immense Trees of oregon.

The size of the trees in the Pacific
northwest is such as to seem almost
unbelievable. Many of these great
conifers reach a height of 800 feet,
and whole townships average 100000
feet of lumber per acre. The beauti-
full Douglas fir, outranking all other
trees both in numbers and in value,
often grows 200 feet tall and straight
without a limb. Cedars grow from
$50 to $50 feet high and from Is to
A. feet i'm circumference, and solid
timbers from 100 to 120 feet long and
from 90 to 26 inches square are ship
ped to all parts of the globe. The to-
tai annual product of Oregon and
Washington is estimated to be 1,O00,-
OOO, 900 feet. From Portland 175,-
900, 900 feet We're shipped by water
and 100000 feet by rail in 1908,
and from Puget Sound ports $50, ,000,-
600 feet We're shipped by water and
nearly as much by rail.

A man with $500 capital can purchase
