PIERCE FOR JOINT SENATOR.
One Of the Most Successful Legislators
In the State.

Oregon owes her present splendid
school law giving each district Sc per
capita instead of the 5-mill levy from
the county court. as formerly. to Wal
ter NJ. Pierce, candidate for joint SEN
ator for the Umatilla- Union Morrow
county district. This law has increas-
ed the resources of the various dis
tricts in the state from 10 to 100 per
cent.
Oregon owes her preesnt excellent
local option law to the leadership of
Walter Pierce, who led the opposition
to the whiskey rings of Portland
which attempted to throttle and de-
stroy this law at the last legislature,
after the people of Oregon had adopt
ed 1t ty their ballots.
For this splendid work in the in
terest Of the people the liquor inter-
ests are now centering all their oppo-
sition and their corruption funds to
defeat him for reelection.
Walter N. Pierce was, born in
Grundy county, Illinois. in 1861, and
came to Umatilla county when 23
years OF age ana mas Ildue lhls his
home continuously since that time. He

years, and in 1886 was elected super
intcndent of schools in Umatilla coun-
tly, serving four years.
In 1890 he was elected county clerk
and in 1892 was reelected by large
majority. Then for 10 years he was
out Of office, devoting himself exclu-
sively to business interests in this ana
adjoining counties. He was success
full in business and by competent
management and good judgement has
accumulated a moderate fortune and
owns an elegant home in this city
His property consists in farming lands
In California and Grand Ronde val
ley, in the Hot Lake Sanatorium and
In holdings in Umatilla county. Pen

vides his time between this and Unior
counties in the management of hi
business.
lin 1902 he was elected joint sena
tor for the Union-Umatilla-M -Morroy

THAT is by the success of its graduates
in securing employment. Any business
college owner will admit this fact.

percentage of its graduates in positions
is the one to patronize. 1t is to be re-
gretted. however, that the. e is no law

From Orkney SPRINGS.

ORKNEY SPRINGS, VA, July 3O.-Rev.

here. will resume services, d. ". Sunday,
August 5. Grace Memorial Church, Oar

Mrs. John H. and Master Webster T.
Price, Mr.. and Mrs. r. E. Prigg. of OAR
lington, are guests of Mrs. Kimball,
Striking cottage.
The Orkney Springs, situated in the
North Mountain, about 100 miles from
Washington, is an old time place of re-
sort. The farmers from the famous val
ley, after harvest, used to journey to
Orkney in covered wagons, bringing
necessaries for a months sojourn. Van
Burensville forms a square at Orkney,
where families have their cottages.
Among the sojourners are Bishop Gibson,
of Virginia. DIR. Blackford, principal of
the Episcopal High School. Virginia, and
Rev. w. w. Kimball and family, of OAR
lington. The two hotels of memory,
lately fallen to decay and removed, were
built of massive logs and for years shelf
cred many a gay throng. Of late years
the three large hotels-Virginia House,
costing some 100000, the Maryland
House and the Pennsylvania House are
the buildings of the Orkney Springs Com
pany, with acapacity of 800 guests. On
account of the late change of the proprie-
tors, the hotels are closed at present.
The mineral waters and the pure noun
tain air are free to allsJourners and still
give strength and health. The famous
Bear Wallow waters, called so from the
bears seen wallowing there to cure their
wounds. ease many pains and often at
feet a cure So that Orkney Springs,
whilst not a gay resort, is the prince of
all health resorts.

FARMERS SCHOOL.

The summer school and farmers insti-
tute conference will be held on August 81 :,
%, % and "a inclusive. The hours are
from 0 A. M. to S P. NJ. the tuition is
free. There will be three courses, six
periods daily, and the school is intended
for all ages and both sexes. In agricul-
ture, the specialists will explain corn
Judging, corn selection, farm machinery,
mixing fertilizers, horse shoeing and
stock Judging. In horticulture there will
be special work on insect control, plant
disease, care of the orchard and field
studies. A special course for women is
one of the most important features OF
this series.
1t is proposed to invite the farmers OF
Maryland, with their wives and daugh.
tiers, to join this popular four days ses-
sion. The cost will be board at 81 day
and pupils will also have to furnish Ger.
tain bedroom requisites. The dormi.
tories are to be used free of charge and
will be assigned in the order in which ap
Pile atoms are received.
We do not know of any better outing
or holiday that our farmers could take
than these four days. The expense is sc
little compared with the opportunity tc
get commensurate return, that THU
item should not be considered. We hav,
before us a carefully arranged pro
gramme, the work of Director William L
Amoss, who has it in charge. This cal
be had for the asking, and we hope ever,
one interested will write for a copy.

HERE'S A WAY TO SAVE DOCTOR BILLS.
Physicians Give Free Advice by Which Parents
Nav Profit.

It's matter of general interest Just now
how ones physical condition can be got into
shape to best receive the benefits of the sum-
mer season. Especially is this true of the
children. They have become run down by a
winter of unnatural IN amer of living because
of ill-considered food and much time spent
indoors. Spring comes with its sunshine, it's
fresh veget ableS and all else invigorating. but
the children are in no condition to receive
natures remedies.
Many parents call in the family physician.
Many other parents take advantage of what
the physician told them when he was first
called in consultation. AL good family ply
sicians say: "Give the children CaStoria."
Healthy parents know this remedy of old,
for they took it themselves as children. 1t was
more than thirty years ago that Castoria
made place for itself in the household. 1t
bore the signature of Charles H. Fletcher
then, as it does today. The signature is it's
guarantee, which is accepted in thousands of
homes where there children.
Much is printed nowadays about big fami-
lies. DIR. William ]. McCrann, of Omaha,
Neb.. Is the father of one of these much-read-
about families. Here Is what he says:
las the father ofthirteen children cert aiuly
know something about your great medicine.
and aside from my own family experience l
a popular and efficient remedy in almost
every home
Charles II. Fletcher has received hundreds of
letters from prominent physicians who have
the same esteem for Castoria that DIR. Nc
Cram has. Not only do these physicians
say they use CaStoria in their own families,
but they prescribe 1t tor their patients. flrst
of all it is vegetable preparation which as
Stimulates the food and regulates the stomach
and bowels. After ca ting comes sleeping. and
Castoria looks out for that too. 1t allays
feverishness and prevents loss of sleep, and
this absolutely without the use of opium,
morphine or other baneful narcotic.
Medical journals are reluctant to discuss
prophet AIRY medicines. Halls Journal of
Health however, says: Our duty is to e1-
pose danger and record the means for ad.
yancing health. The day for poisoning inno-
chi iarRn fhTnnph GREED II
ought to end. To our knowledge Castoria
is a remedy which produces composure and
health by regulating the system, not by Stupe-
flying it, and our readers are entitled to the
information"

COURT HOUSE IMPROVEMENT REPORT.

The Court House Commission filed it's
report with the county commissioners on
Monday. together with an itemized &C
count of the expenditures for the i'm
provements.
The report saws that the building has
been completed, and that all the county
officials are now occupying offices
sufficiently large to meet all their require
ments for years to come. The total cost
including the two additions, the renova-
ton. repainting and repair of the old
building. heating the whole with very
efficient and satisfactory steam outfit,
providing toilet and other conveniences,
and changing and repaving the walks, is
$35, 5Os.15.
The proceeds of the sale of the bond
issue of SOS, 900 realized premium of
81, O62 so and the So 900 levied in 1908
and 1906 and the 81, 700 to be levied in
1907 will pay all the obligations and
leave a surplus more than sufficient to
pay the deficiency in the interest account
for money borrowed during the building
operations, in anticipation of the bond
issue. The report also states that the
Commission has negotiated an advanta-
geous sale of the whole amount of the
bonds provided for under the act, and
that they are now ready for delivery.
Details of the items going to make up
the entire cost of the improvements are
interesting. The contract was let to Mr..
c. c. Smith for $27.4OO. The extras
run the total amount he received to
$27, $40 16; the heating cost $3,OO3. "a;
painting, $1,236.5O; electric lights,
$452. 80; we'll, $12421; bricks and
paving, $27O.2s; lightning rods, 500;
chairs for jury rooms, $54; ]. A. Demp-
wolf, architect, services, So, 165 40. A
number of minor items go to make up
the rest Of the account.
The disbursements show payments
of $35. 037.O1, leaving a balance due
$471.14. The sum total Of the borrow
ings of the Commission previous to the
issue of bonds, shows $31 300, which
together with interest due, $1,370.S2
and the accounts as still due as shown
above make $33, 1916. To offset this
are the following resources: cash on
hand, SIS. 1874 70; bonds, face value,
$50, 900; premium ST ,O62 so; due from
county treasurer, $1.7OO. This shows
an excess of So "a which is we'll within
the amount.
The members received no compensation
for their work and responsibility.
