CANCER.

Melancholy as it truly is, the
real origin, of cancer is as yet
unknown. No parasite has been
discovered to explainlits invasion
and no treatment short of the
earliest possible use Of the knife
has given any hope. Even with
the best surgical skill the growth
is very liable to recur, and in the
great majority of patients afiict-
ed with the disease it proves ia
tai within three to five years.
The one promising feature for
treatment is at first always local
and should thus be amenable to
early and thorough eradication.

HOLMS.

Wheat harvest is coming on
hand and there is a fine prospect
for a good crop. Corn looks fine
but oats is no good.
Tobacco setting is a thing Of
the past in this neighborhood.
The locusts are in this part by
the thousands.
Peaches and black berries are
looking fine and if not destroyed
will yield a fine crop.
Meadows are no good; hay is
scarce and will be next year.

OLD METHODS SUCCEED.

1t has been claimed that old
methods of doing business cannot
succeed in this twentieth CEN
tury of ours, but a striking ex-
ample of where old manners have
been and are yet successful may
be found in the busiest city of
the world-New York. Right in
the heart of the wholesale dis
trict may be found a restaurant
that is feeding more people every
day of the year than any other
house in New York City, and do
ing it along the line of "old
methods
1t is claimed for this famous
eating house that every pound of
food used is paid for in cash upon
the day it is purchased and that
the proprietors have never yet
given a check in payment for
supplies, nor owed a dollar at the
close of the day, and they keep
no books.
Each morning the dealers sup
plying this remarkable establish
ment the necessary goods at the
receiving department and then
form in line leading to the cash.
ier's desk where each one in turn
receives his money in good hard
coin.
When the evening comes what
ever is left in the cash drawer is
profit, less charges such as taxes,
light, fuel, &c.
A further boast of the owner
of this restaurant is that it's doors
have never been locked since first
opened, way back in wartime"
and that no one knows where the
key now is.
An idea of the number of peo-
pie fed may be gained from the
fact that the table salt, used ex-
clusively by the patrons at the
tables and not including any used
for cooking, is purchased every
four months in ten barrel lots,
each barrel containing three hum
dred pounds.

An Indiana farmer living near
Corydon, gathers a rather unusu-
al crop every spring. Unlike
other crops it is reaped in the
spring. Unlike other crops, it is
reaped when he plows and not
when he harvests. When run
uig his burrows he seldom fails to
find several pieces o f money,
half dollars. 1t is amusing to see
the owner and his children
searching for silver Immediately
after the regular spring harrow
ing and if the supply holds out it
would seem unnecessary to put
in any of the ordinary crops.
The explanation is that the silver
producing farm was once owned
by an eccentric and wealthy old
man, who contracted the misery
habit of burying his money UNI
der the ground.

It seems especially incredible
that a strong strudy, self-made
man, who has had to fight his
way up from poverty, and who
feels the blackache in every dol
lar he has earned, should let his
savings slip through his fingers
in the most foolish investments,
with scarcely any investigation,
often sending his money thous-
ands of miles away to people he
has never seen and about whom
he knows practically nothing, ex-
cept through an advertisement
which has attracted his attention,
or through the wiles of some
smooth, unprincipled promoter. =

In a dry summer as this prom
ises to be, the water supply in
the pastures should be looked to
and not be allowed to become ex-
hausted or befouled. Young
stock which must wade through
mud up to their bellies to drink
water from ponds all covered
over with green slime will not
thrive, and while standing still
or going back in condition are a
tax on the resources of the farm
rather than a means of increas-
ing the revenue.

Here is what a health writer
says about water as tonic: One
half of the world feminine drink
too little water; they do not know
what a real good health thirst is,
and should cultivate one by using
plenty of salt both in their food
and it's natural state. It will take
the place of tonic. If the woman
who has flabby flesh and a hollow
chest will form the habit of eat
ing plenty of salt meats and fish,
thereby creating a thirst TO
water, she will take on good
healthy flesh and round out her
figure in an astonishingly short
time.

little fellow, working when it pleased
him and sleeping when he had the
inclination, travelled a distance of
226 D miles in the II days, as recorded
by cyclometeI attached to the re-
volving wheel in his cage. There
were over 1900 guesses, a large
proportion of them being in the
neighborhood of 100 miles while some
OF the guesses were recorded by those
who had little idea OF distance. The
smallest guess recorded was one-half
mile, while the largest was 10. 900

Cider and Vinegar Works.

The Sampson Cider g. Vinegar
Works is the latest addition to the
Industries Of Grants Pass aud 1t bids
fair to be most important factor in
the wealth Of the city and the county.
The opening .of this new industry
is the undertaking Of Herbert O.
Sampson, son Of II. @. Sampson, the
we'll known Southern Pacific engi-
neer. For the last three years Mr..
Sampson was in the employ of the
Government in the engineer depart
nent and stationed at San Francisco.
Last Spring he resigned his position
and returned with his wife to Grants
Pass. Several years ago he and his
father built and operated cider and
vinegar factory at their home on
Fifth and ID streets. Mr.. Sampson has
taken down the old building and
erected two story structure 24x40
feet that gives ample room for the
boiler, engines, presses, generators,
tanks and storage bins. The equip
ment is of the latest and the plant is
Ms complete and up-to-date as any on
this Coast. Mr.. Sampson has been
making a thorough study of the manu-
facture of cider and vinegar and with
his complete plant he is able to put
out strictly first-olass article. He
is making a specially of the Sampson
brand of cider and vinegar and both
are guaranteed pure and made of
sound, clean apples To supply the
retail trade Mr.. Sampson has cider in
handsomely painted kegs and barrels
that he supplies the merchants and
when empty replaces them with a
filed barrel. He will also put on sale
n fancy brand of cider and vinegar in
bottles for family trade.
This cider and vinegar factory will
make market for apples, pears,
prunes and other fruit that is poor
shipping varieties or too small and
will enable the fruit growers to real
ize fair price for an orchard product
that heretofore has been of little
value
