Fruits a Valuable Crop.

In fruit the Walla Walla valley is
superb. for proof of which read article
on fruits from a government report.
"Walla Walla is in eastern Washing

of the Pacific Northwest-lies just
north of the forty sixth parallel of la
titude in the southeastern part of
Washington, and is bounded on the
south and east by the Blue mountain
ranges. on the west and north by the
Columbia and Snake rivers, and covers
an area of millions Of acres of highly
productive lands The United States
surveyor general, in his report to the
department of the interior in 1880,
says: mo other undeveloped portion
of the national domain, so rich in all
the natural elements for beautiful ce-
real production, lies so near the ocean
as Washington. This advantageous
geographical position alone must place
it's agricultural lands in the highest
rank of valuation. The western pOr-

Der and mineral resources, while east

is the chief center, is especially adapt

An enthusiastic admirer of this section
has called it the future Rhineland of
America. All kinds of fruits, save trop-
ical, are raised here in luxurious profu-
sion. Apples, pears, plums, peaches,
cherries, prunes, grapes, Strawberries,
blackberries, etc, are shipped from
here by the carload to eastern points,
and the fruit dealers of the valley are
unable to fill the constantly increasing
orders The fruit industry is yet in its
infancy, markets are opening UP on
every hand and the future is full of
promise. AS this valley is about one
month earlier than any other section
of the Northwest, fruit growing here
can successfully compete with Califor-
MIA. The fame of the excellence of our
fruit has gone abroad throughout the
land and the time will come when
Walla Walla fruits will be the favorites
on the stands of Chicago, Minneapolis,
St Paul and the other cities of the
Northwest. Minnesota and the entire
intervening country is, and in the ma
ture of things must remain, fruitless,
and must be supplied from this valley

insipidty of fruit. The excellence Of

the county. On October "a, 1905,
George Drumheller, Walla Walla,
Wash, received a check for $62,919.35
for a portion of his wheat crop that
year.
Let it be distinctly understood that
these yields are the natural yields on
natural sod, where no irrigation is re-
quired and no water is used save the
regular natural rainfall Without the
fear of being charged with exaggera-
ton, we make the statement that the
Walla Walla valley is the finest and
best wheat producing country in Amer
lea, and for that matter the equal of
any cultivated lands anywhere on the
globe. Nor is wheat the only yield.
This land grows anything that can be
grown this side of the tropics, and in
equal abundance with no other coun
tries It's yield of oats and barley is
parallel to the immense yield of wheat
oats, 80 to 100 bushels per acre; bar
ley, 40 to so bushels. AS for corn, the
claim is not made that it is an extra
corn country, yet nearly every farmer
has a field of corn, and fields of to
25 acres are common, yielding from 25
to As bushels to the acre. But in
grasses it has no superior. 1t grows
the finest alfalfa, and the yield is from
eight to II tons per acre, and from
two to four crops a year. This coun-
try is the natural home of the clover,
while timothy and native grasses grow
just as abundantly.
Timothy Grows as AbundantIy
and yields as much per acre as other
grasses running from a to "a tons
per acre. Alfalfa alone yields more, as
is affords two or three crops per sea-
son, and sometimes four crops, the total
yield being from eight to eleven tons
per acre. Land ranges from s. to $50

price to all has contributed in no small
degree to the phenomenal success of
this store. Yet, goods may be bought
on time or on the easy payment plan,
the difference in cost of doing such
business being equalized by a system
of cashiers rebates to cash custom
ers and interest payments on amounts
sold on time
Furniture is also bought from in
dividuals or taken in exchange for
new goods-this department being on
the third floor
Mr.. John A. Davis, the president of
the firm, is not active in it's manage
ment, devoting his time principally to
the management of his extensive
farming and stock interests. Mr.. F.
w. Kaiser, the secretary treasurer and
general manager, is the active head
of the firm, through whose manage
ment the store has grown from a
small concern to one of Walla Walla s
largest and most up-to-date stores
Mr.. Kaser is also interested in the
welfare of the city, being president of
the Commercial Club and on the exc
cutive board of the $4,000 Club.

This valley is indeed an Inland EN-
pire. 1t has been occupied and Guilt
waited longer than any other portion of
Washington, except Western Washing
ton, and it is this valley that has es-
tablished the grain and fruit growing
reputation of the whole state 1t is
from this valley that the Northern Pa
cific and Union Pacific railways have
secured their magnificent samples of
wheat, oats, barley fruits and vegeta-
bles, with which they have advertised
their western lands at all the fairs in
Minneapolis, st. Paul, Omaha, Chicago
and the east from the Centennial until
now. The yield of this valley has
chiefly contributed, and it is this valley,
with it's wonderful yield of grain, that
will contribute to the fame of Seattle,
Tacoma and the Sound cities in their
famous and increasing shipping inter-
ests. 1t is the Walla Walla valley that
has contributed very largely to the
to the growth Of Portland, and it is a
valley, which though yet in it's in
fancy, has yielded more wealth and
made more men rich in proportion to
it's inhabitants than any parallel strip
of agricultural country in America. 1t
is a valley that has grown more sue
cessive crops of grain without fertil-
iziing, and has yielded the largest
average number of bushels per acre,
and without a single failure, of any
n-grOwing country in the world.
Here is county whose actual average
of wheat is honestly and fairly 80
bushels per acre, and this average is
placed lower than the elevators and
railroads claim. 1t would be an easy
matter to produce affidavits of hum

acres to be secured at these prices on
easy terms. If investigators would
come here and talk with T. G. Davies
they can learn more, and will believe
more than they will or can secure by
farmers coming here will meet with a
surprise in all kinds of small grain,
in vegetables, fruit, horses, cattle, sheep
and hogs. No better stock is shown
in the whole northwest from Oregon to
Ohio than will be seen here. This
country has never had a crop failure.

Historic Court House.

The Rutland, VT, chapter Of the
Daughters Of the American Revolu-
ton are to try and get possession of
the old court house there, which is the
city's most interesting historic struc-
ture. 1t is located on West street, and
is the oldest building in Rutland, and
the second oldest in the state, having
been built in 1874. 1t is now pri-
vate residence and the owners do not
care to sell. 1t may not be commonly
known that Rutland was once the
capital of Vermont, and it was in that
building that the legislature met in
1884, 1892, 1894, 1896, 1897 and 1904.
The federal court in Vermont sat in
the old building during the latter part
Of the eighteenth century, and there
it was that Judge Harrington render
ed the famous decision that the only
title to slave that would be held
good in Vermont was "a bill of sale

Going through the hospitals in our
large cities one is surprised to find such
q large proportion of the patients lying
on those snow-white beds women
and girls, who are either awaiting
or recovering from serious operations.
Why should this be the case2 Sim
ply because they have neglected them
selves. Female troubles are certainly
on the increase among the women of
this country-they creep upon them
unawares, but every one of those
patients in the hospital beds had plenty
of warning in that bearing-down feel
ing, pain at left or right of the abdomen,
nervous exhaustion, pain in the small
of the back. dizziness, hatulency, dis
placements of the organs or irregular
tiles. All of these symptoms are indi-
cations of an unhealthy condition of
the female organs, and if not needed
the penalty has to be paid by a danger
GUS operation. When these symptoms
manifest themselves, do not drag along
until you are obliged to go to the hos
pital and submit to an operation
but remember that Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has saved
thousands of women from surgical
operations.

EAGLES eRowlNe scARcER.
In the British Isles Eggs Are Beeom
inu Hioher.


The eagle has grown scarce in the
British Isles The eggs of the bird
grow yearly higher priced. A couple
of eggs from Scotland recently
brought SO apiece. An old record
states that in the seasons 1831-'34, in
elusive, no fewer than III mature
specimens of the eagle, together with
fifty-three young and eggs, were de-
stroyed in a single county Of Scotland
Sutherland; from which statement
one can well imagine the cruel havoc
that has been wrought in the ranks
of a once very common bird of prey.
No one denies that the eagle is de-
structive to game and lambs, but it
seems a pity that so noble a bird
should be so utterly wiped out of ex-
istence, for the eagle has many inter
esting associations with the past. In
Scotland a century or two back three
eagles feathers were the badge
a chief, two of a chieftan and one of
& gentleman; but more interesting
still is the fact that the flesh of the
eagle was considered in the seven
teenth century "a valuable medicine
against the gout" The same author.
ity also states that the bird was some.
times eaten by the hardy Highlander
as part of his ordinary diet

bring hope to despairing women.


Miss Ruby Mushrush, OF East
Chicago, Ind, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Ihave been great sufferer with irregular
periods and female trouble, and about three
months ago tho doctor, after using the X-Ray
on me, said had an abcess and would have
to have an operation. My mother wanted
me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound as a last resort, and it not only
saved me from an operation but made ne en-
tirely well"
Mrs. Alice Berryhi11, Of 3f3 Boyce
Street, Chattanooga, Tenn, writes:
Dear Mr. Pinkham:-
''Three years ago life looked dark TO me-
I had liberation and inflammation of the
female organs and wa9 in d serious condition.
My health was completely broken down
and the doctor told ne that If was not op-
Grated upon would die within six months
I told him I would have no operation but
would try Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound He tried to influence me against
it but sent for the medicine that same day
and began to use it faithfully. Within five
days felt relief but was not ent1rely cured
until I used it for some time.
" Your medicine is certainly fine. I have
induced several friends and neighbors to take
it and know moro than dozen who had
female troubles and who to-day are as well
and strong as am from using your Vege-
table Compound"

you need the best.
