Did you ever see a rosebush which
despite the most benehcent environment
OF soil-of sunshine-and Of atmosphere,
seemed never TO achieve a healthy
growth.
A ton Of manure will not help a plant
that has canker eating out its heart.
You must destroy the cause before you
can remove the effect.
Tou cannot cure Dandruff and Bald
pess by rubbing on hair lotions, and

You must look to the cause OF the
trouble-its germ at the roots Of
your hair which causes It to fall out.
Newbro's HerplcIde destroys the germ,

ONE ACRE FARM PAYS
WHERE IRRIGATION is
BROUGHT TO HIGHEST STATE.
William Il. Smythe, Father of the
Irrigation Congress-" Tells of One
Acre In Sacramento Valley Which
Produces Wonderful Variety of
Crops and Pays Better Than Many
Quarter Sections of Wheat Land.

William E. Smythe of Los Angeles,
who is called "the father of the irri-
cation congress-" has written a sketch
of one-acre farm in the Sacramento
valley of California, which shows the
possibilities of irrigation under proper
methods and proper use of the water
supply.
Mr.. Smythe says:
The Sacramento valley of Califor-
MIA is a land of big farms. Private
estates run all the way from 1000 to
100000 acres. It was once profitable
to farm vast areas in grain.
Although this valley is blessed with
most abundant water supplies, irriga-
ton is not generally employed. There
is little rainfall from May to Novem-
ber, yet grain and decfduous fruits are
grown without artificial moisture. But
the big farms are not prosperous.
They are largely cultivated by tenants
and are strangely devoid of features
which make the true southwestern
farm one of the most delightful home
spots in the world. The men on the
land sell all they produce and buy
nearly all they consume. And so they
pay tribute to others "going and COM
ing"
I have been visiting farm in the
Sacramento valley which consists OF
one single acre of irrigated land and
which makes better home and larger
net income for its owner than many
of his neighbors enjoy on places OF
thousands of acres each. The little
| farm is at Orland, in Glen county
and is the property OF a man named
Samuel Cleeks, who has grown old
and gray while tilling it for the past
80 years.
Mr.. Cleeks tells me that he has nc
difficulty whatever in making a com

irrigated land. Not only so, but he is
able to save an average of $400 a
year beside. He has money to loan

getting poorer every year In carrying

could get such good results from sc

Finally seeing that they were abso-
lutely sold" by Adams, who had never
been in the region before and who
evidently knew nothing of the "Blua
Bucket" mine, the party Of argonauts
held a council to decide whether they
should hang Adams for his treachery
and duplicity in leading them into the
wilderness on false pretenses. 1t was
decided that the party should divide
those believing in Adams good faith
to stay with him and those doubling
him to form apart and separate.
Twenty-one men, including Little
field, the most hardy, most adventur-
Gus spirits Of the party, left Adams
and started northward from some
where in the interior of Oregon, they
knew not where at the time. For sew
eral days they travelled northward in

egon was as yet unadorned with such
town, and it was thought a fitting
time to bestow such a name upon the
records of the new state,
The Country Aflame..
In the meantime the merchant who
mad purchased the first dust taken
from Griffin's gulch. from the party
in Walla Walla, had spread the news
of the new discovery in Portland and
had exhibited his dust in evidence,
and "A horde of Adventures started in
early spring to the new diggings. BY
the time Auburn was laid out the
party had been largely increased by
recruits from Walla Walla, The Dalles
and Portland.
An election was held soon after the
organization of the Blue Canyon min
ing district, ana T.. C. Brainard, later
respected pioneer of Union county,
was elected first recorder of the new
camp.
The election was held in a novel
manner There were no ballot boxes
nor tickets, but the crowd divided
those in favor of Brainard going to
his side of large pine log, which had
been felled in camp, and those favor
mig his opponent remaining on the
other side of the log.
When the count was taken it was
found that Brainard was elected and
was thus the first public official in the
new region. He set up an office in
a shanty and recorded the new claims
at 81 each, receiving as much as $50
a day for his services. The entire
country for miles on every side was
laid out and claims recorded, making
fat job for the young recorder.
BY September, 1862, six months
after the discovery of the new camp
there were 700 cabins and almost as
many tents, and the population was
estimated at 5000, the highest tide
ever reached. California miners
flocked to the new district and every
canyon for miles was worked out
and it was one of the chief placer
camps in the west. Later the Canyon
City mines were opened up and Au-
burn lost population. a few of the
pioneers retained their property an.
have mined in desultory way evei
since.
But today there is nothing left bu

LAST SURVIVOR OF PARTY THAT
DISCOVERED GOLD IN BAKER

The following sketch of the last sur
vivor of the party which discovered
gold in Baker County, in 1862, was
written for the sunday Oregonian by
Bert Huffman, editor Of the East Or
egonian and with an excellent photo
graph of Mr.. Littlefield, the subject
OF the sketch, appeared in the Ore

One by one the argonauts who un-
covered the hidden mines of the in
land empire are passing over the di-
vide.
Here and there they tower like white
peaks ever the seas of humanity,
which surge up and down the modern
world. They are landmarks, of the
heroic age. They stand strangely apart
from the hurrying throng and speak
of an era that had but little kinship
with the present.
The last known survivor of the 81
adventurous spirits who discovered
gold in Auburn, Baker county, in 1852,
is now living in this city, his hair
white as the peaks which cast their
shadows upon his home at eventide
but his mind stored with rich eXper-
fences and romantic memories of the
past.
David Littlefield, one of the first
party of men to find gold in eastern
Oregon, was born in Prospect, Me-, in
1929, and when but a boy responded
to the call of the west. In 1850 he
crossed the plains to California and
mined there until the Fraser River ex-
citement, in 1853, when he Joined the
northward rush to that new region
where he mined for year, when he
went to Portland, Ore, in July. 1861.
Searched for blue Bucket Mine.
Soon after he reached Portland a
man named Adams electrified the

lous store of gold, which has lured
more than one man to his death from
exposure and savages in the wild in
terror of Oregon, and for which per-
haps 100 expeditions have searched in
vain during the past 60 years.
Adams exhibited specimens of gold
on the streets of Portland and arous-
ed the hardy adventures to state of
wild excitement Within a few days
party of 40 prospectors, immigrants
and adventures was organized under
the leadership of Adams and started
into the interior of Oregon.
The party crossed the Cascade
mountains by the Barlow road in July,
1861, followed up the Des Chutes and
Crooked rivers in what is now Crook
county, and on and on into the vast
wilderness which now is confined
within the boundaries of Baker, Grant
and Malheur counties.

Under favorable conditions the life
of trolley car is twelve years. 1t re-
quires constant care and repeated ex-
aminations. Its running apparatus
must be subject to an inspection once
or twice a week, which is supplement-
ed by an occasional thorough overhaul
ing. The manager of a New Jersey
company has estimated that on his
lines a new car may run an average
of about 100 days before it must be
overhauled, but cars operated in crowd
ed cities have a shorter term of activ-
ity, about sixty days, before they go
into a doctors" hands. AS the car
gets older it has to be overhauled with
even greater frequency. These over
haulings require the removal Of the
trucks from the car body, the examina-
ton of the motors the cleaning Of the
armatures and a thorough test of the
machinery In addition the car body
must be painted and vanished at least
once a year

Ice Cream From Cottonseed Oil.

To make vanilla ice cream by arti-
fetal means the alchemist took some
triple refined cottonseed oil and placed
it in a centrifugal machine which NOV
ed at a velocity of 5000 revolutions a
minute. A beautiful emulsion was
thereby produced, which was then fro
zen chemically, of course. The flavor
was obtained by the addition of vanil-
lin, glucin and nitrobenzol. They say
that ice cream composed as above is
sold in many southern states, where
cottonseed oil is more plentiful and
consequently cheaper than milk or
cream. 1t is far from harmful tastes
good and does not melt as quickly as
the genuine ice.-TechniCal World.

Cardinal Gibbons rightly says
that man will stand in the pill
lory to be dashed with the scourge
of vituperation if by that means
he may gain high public office,
while sinners are loath to make
any sacrifice to obtain the crown
of eternal glory. This is along the
line of DR.. Hillis's we'll known re-
mark that men will stay out of
the church because church mem
bers are not consistent and make
consistency the great obstacle to
their joining the church, yet man
was never known to keep out of
the law because some lawyers are
corrupt and abuse their high call
ing, nor to keep out of business be-
cause short weights and adulter-
alton are practised to make more
money by some business men and
so along the whole line of mans
weekday life, but in order that
they may come into the church all
church members must show absO-
lutte consistency or they reject the
highest duty. When our leaders
in things spiritual take these prac-
teal ways of showing the flimsi-
ness of mems usual excuse for not
doing what they should, they are
certainly making a point that is
felt by the average man.
