Unique Rafnmaking.

One Of the oldest rainmaking plants
is the invention of a native of one of
the Indian provinces. By means Of a
rocket he sends more than a mile into
the air a reservoir OF ether attached to
parachute. This, being released at
the highest point. floats gently back to
earth, the condensation being caused
by the evaporation Of the ether. It is
said to be decidedly efhcacious even
where there is scarcely a trace of
cloud.

AND ONE CAME FROM OREGON
Springfield Republican.

It is singular how three states,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and
Maryland. continue in our own time
to furnish the bulk of the attorney
generals of the United States. When
Mr.. Moody came to the Office. he sue
ceeded Mr.. Knox of Pennsylvania, and
when Mr.. Moody retires next winter
he will be followed by Mr.. Bonaparte
of Maryland. Since the foundation
of the government in 1883, these three
states have furnished 90 of the 48
attorney generals. Pennsylvania sup
plying eight, Massachusetts seven and
Maryland FIVE. Maryland's number
will be increased to six when Mr..
Bonaparte arrives. States like New
York and Ohio have furnished only
three each. The hold which the
three states referred to have upon this
office, and have had always, seems in
explicable. True, the Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts and Maryland bars have
never been distinguished, but their
record in the attorney generals Office
can scarcely be said to be due to pro-
fessional superiority. 1t must be
reckoned merely one of the curious ac-
cidents of government.

A sEEDLESs PEAR.
Ashland Tidings.

Something new in choice fruit has
been exhibited at the office of G. Fl.
Gillette in Ashland this week--a
seedless pear, of fine appearance and
choice quality. It is from tree
about eight or ten years old. For
several years it has borne seedless
pears, this year yielding three or four
boxes of the fruit. A few of the very
largest pears on the tree each year
have seeds. The rest are all seedless
and when cut in half show smooth
surface from skin to center, where the
seed cells are usually found. The
seedless pears on this tree are trifie
smaller than the average Bartlett,
but probably contain more clean fruit
substance and in taste they are super
ior to Bartlett, having a marked
flavor resembling somewhat that of
the little sekel pear. 1t is believed
this seedless pear may be propagated
to the extent of producing a practical
nursery stock of trees of the same
character, and experimentation will
be begun at once with that end in
view.

She Ran the Ranch.
Prineville Journal.

Mrs. Lee Wigle, who lives with her
husband, prosperous cattleman, at
the head of Camp creek, is deserving
of specil mention, say her friends, for
the ease with which she can turn
from household cares to the hard work
of hired men. Mr.. Wigle being
away, 1T devolved upon bis better half
to run the ranch, and she did it. too.
The hired men, who perhaps did not
take kindly to the change of bosses,
objected to some orders given in re-
gard to fall plowing, and refused to
carry them out. They were promptly
fred aud the work finished by Mrs.
Wigle herself. She plewed Il acres In
five days, besides taking care of her
teams and doing the rest of the farm
work. Mrs. Wigle is also as ha 1dy
with the rife as she is skilled in
music anG kindred accomplishments.
Twenty coyotes this fall testify to
her unerring aim. Her varied ac-
complishments do not in the least de-
tract from her manycharming woman
ly qualities.

Heney won in Portland and it is the
guess of everybody who knows the
man that be will win in California.
The clever lawyer is "pizen" to graft
ers and his field in San Francisco
gives every indication of being "a fertile
one. Boosted into Office through votes
that were polled largely by the lobor
ing class, which were electrified and
hypuotised under the guise of one of
the most bitter campaigns ever waged
in municipal election, a nest of
unscrupulous grafters have preyed
ruthlessly and fiagrantly upon the re-
sources and revenues of the Golden
Gate city. Heney is in San Francisco
to stay, and when he gets through
with those public official leeohes, they
will be where the Oregon land fraud
lists are.

BOON TO OREGON.
East Oregonian.

The East Oregonian is delighted to
hear such favorable expressions on the
state jute mill from all quarters of the
state--from press, people, Legislators
and business interests-and it now
seems as though the plant is assured.
This jute plant will perhaps serve
more interests in Oregon than any
other industry which could be estab-
lished at the penitentiary. The stove
foundry has been fairly successful, but
it was operated by trust. The con-
vict roadmaking crusade has been
successful, but it will of necessity be
confined to a narrower locality around
Salem.
But the state jute mill will supply
the wheat farmer. the hop farmer,
the wooIgrower-three of the leading
and vital industries of the state. At
least three fourths of the mem bers of
the Legislature are directly interested
in one of these three great industries,
and thesonly opposition which should
90 encountered would come from the
jute manufacturing trust, the big
warehouses which handle the grain
aud wool sacks and hop cloth and
from the trusts which desire to secure
the labor of the conviots for some
other line of industry.
The meeting of the legislators and
farmers to be held in Pendleton in the
near future for the purpose of going to
Walla Walla to investigate the Wash
ington jute plant at the state peniten-
tiary should be we'll attended. Every
farmer and woolgrower in Umatilla
county and in eastern Oregon is vital
ly interested in having this jute plant
esta blished at Salem. The Legislators
should be encouraged, should be ad-
vised with and given the assurance
that the people desire relief from the
jute trust which has exacted double

Is Disease a Crime !?

Not very long ago, a popular magazine
published an editorial article in which
the writer asserted, In substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain 1t Is, that much of the sickness
and suffering OF mankind is due to the
violation of certain Of Natures laws.
But TO say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
1t would be harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor,
weak, over worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak
nesses, various displacements of pelvic
organs and other arrangements peculiar
to her sex.
Frequent bearing OF children. with its ex-
acting demands upon the system, coupled
with the care, worry and labor OF rearing
large family. is often the cause Of weak
nesses arrangements and debility which are
aggravated by the many household cares
and the hard. and never-ending work which
the mother is called upon to perform. Dr.
Pierce, the maker OF that wOrld-famed rem
.edy for woman's peculiar weaknesses and
ills-Dr Plerce's Fayorite Prescription-says
that one of the greatest obstacles to the cure
of this class OF maladies isthe fact that the
poor, over-worked housewife can not get the
needed rest from her many household cares
and labor to enable her to secure from the
use of his Prescription its full benefits. IL
Is matter of frequent experience. he says
in his extensive practice in these cases. to
meet with those In which his treatment fails
by reason OF the patients inability to abstain
from hard work long enough to be cured.
With those suffering from prolapsus, ante
version and retroversion of the uterus or
other displacement of the womanly organs.
IT Is very necessary that. in addition to taxi
ing his rFavorite Prescription they abstain
from being very much, or for long periods. on
their feet. All heavy lifting or straining of
any kind should also be avoided. As much
outdoor air as possible, with moderate. light
exercise is also very important Let the
patient observe these rules and the uFavor-
Prescription" will do the rest.
