FIRST PASTURE.

Cooking school teachers-this
includes teachers" who have ap-
piled to us for weekly pay if they
would say something nice" about
Grape-Nuts and Postum, and when
we have declined to hire them to
do this they get waspy and show
their true colors.
This also includes "demonstra-
tors" and lecturers" sent out by
certain Sanitarium to sell foods
made there, and these people in
structed by the small-be-whis-
kered doctor-the head of the in
stitution-to tell these prevarica-
tions (you can speak the stronger
word if you like). This same little
doctor conducts a small magazine
in which there is department
of answers to correspondents"
many of the questions as well as
the answers being written by the
aforesaid doctor.
In this column some time ago
appeared the statement: "No, we
cannot recommend the use OF
Grape-Nuts for it is nothing but
bread with glucose poured over it"
Right then he showed his badge as
a member of the tribe of Ananias.
He may have been a member for
some time before, and SO he has
caused these lecturers" to de-
scend into the ways of the tribe
wherever they go.

York put the Iron on" to this

pluck and bravery.

She started back. Her black eyes
blazed scorn and hate upon him.
"You!" she hissed. ''You! Oh,
wretch, serpent, fiend You, who
claimed to be friend, will give the
command that will send my father to
his death!"
"You may prevent it, Jacinta.'
Il? l can prevent it? How?

nothing can be done. But il it can be
postponed till midnight-if the execu-
tion could be held in the darkness,
much could be done. His fetters could
be loosened-he could be left free-the
guns could be loaded blank-he could
drop at the fire, and creep away"
"Ah, Pedro. You will do this? You
will save my fathers life? You love
the Republic still!!"
''No. am an enemy to the Republic.
But love you For you. and you alone.
l will do this, if you but say the word"
'Word.'' Her bosom heaved with
emotion. What do you mean? What
word?"

She recoiled from him, clasping her
hands over her heart. Painting, she
looked at him helplessly.

''Hush!" she said. do not speak OF

l know you will keep your promise?
You may be as cruel as the others. You
may not save my fathers life"
He smiled.
"Grief has driven reason from you"
he said. "Is it likely, when l wish to
win your love, that my first step in
that direction will be to murder your
father? Besides, my part of the con-
tract comes first If do not sacredly
do my part, you need not keep your
promise"
But is it possible?" she asked. "The
hour is already set for noon. Can it be

ence with the king. l will ask this as
a favor, and he will no doubt grant it.
Can you not see, Jacinta. that I am
risking my life for you?"
He turned away, and Jacinta, pre-
serving calm appearance, went back
to her father.
What had Francisco to say?" asked
Salvarez.
Nothing much, my father" she re-
piled. "He spoke to me of-of-"
'Of SOM hing that will happen

death.

The suspense was becoming unen-
durable. The girl dared not look at her
fathers calm countenance, lest she be-
tray the true cause of her emotion She
dared not breathe her hopes-her fears.
''They delay" said Salvarez.
Jacinta heard the ticking of the

clutched and looked at it.

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
a like amount from them, or any one or
them, and if there was ever one ounce
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat ana
barley with little salt and yeast used
in the making of Grape-Nuts, we WALL
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at all
times to visitors, and thousands pass
through each month, inspecting every
department and every process. Our rae
tories are so clean that one could, with
good relish, eat meal from the floors.
The work people, both men and wom-
en-, are OF the highest grade in the state
of Michigan, and according to the state
labor reports, are the highest paid In
the state for similar work.
Let us tell you exactly what you will
see when you inspect the manufacture OF
Grape-Nuts. You will find tremendous
elevators containing the choicest wheat
and barley possible to buy. These
grains are carried through long convey
ers to grinding mills, and there convert
ed into -four. Then the machines make
selection of the proper quantities OF this
-four in the proper proportion and these
parts are blended into a general flour
which passes over to the big dough mix
ing machines, there water, salt and lit
tie yeast are added and the dough knead-
ed the proper length of time.
Remember that previous to the barley
having been ground it was passed
through about one hundred hours OF
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the diastase in the barley, which changes
the starch in the grain into q form OF
sugar.
Now after we have passed It into
dough and it has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery into
loaves about 18 inches long and or
inches in diameter. It is put into this
shape for convenience in second cooking.
These great loaves are sliced by ma
chinery and the slices placed on wire
trays, these trays, in turn, placed on great
steel trucks, and rolled into the second
ary ovens, each perhaps Is or 80 feet long.
There the food is subjected to a long low
heat and the starch which has not been
heretofore transformed is turned into a
form of sugar generally known as Poet
Sugar. 1t can be seen glistening on the
granules of Grape-Nuts II held toward
the light, and this sugar is not poured
over or put on the food as these preyari-
Gators ignorantly assert. On the con-
trary the sugar exudes from the interior
of each little granule during the process
of manufacture, and reminds one Of the
little white particles of sugar that come
out on the end of hickory log after
it has been sawed OF and allowed to
stand for length of time.
This Post Sugar is the most digestible
food known for human use. 1t is so per-
feet tin its adaptability that mothers with
very young infants will pour a little
warm milk over two or three spOOnfuls
Of Grape Nuts, thus washing thesuga Oh
from the granules and carrying 1t with

CHAPTER XII.
An Execution DELAYED


The prisOners-all that remained of
the gallant band that fought for the
Republic-were ruthlessly shot
This was the first official act OF
Philip OF Aragon after the crown had
been placed upon his head. General
Salvarez, the greatest of the prisoners,
was not placed among them, but no
less was the murderous wrath Of his
captors to descend upon his head
True, Salvarez was a prisoner of
war, and should have been treated with
the consideration and dignity due his
rank.
A certain honor was reserved for
Salvarez, it is true-the honor of
standing alone to meet his death.
And. as il to mock him, or to en-
phasize the irony of his fate, the man
who was to command and carry out the
execution OF the republican general
was his old neighbor, Pedro Francisco
The loving wife and daughter Of Sal
varez were still with him in the room
which was to be the last he should ever
occupy In his own castle.
II fear not for the country" replied
Salvarez. Give the President time to
get his army here, and the monster
will never live to see another day. It
is not that which moves me. All, 1t
is the thought Of you." The general
rose from his chair and paced the
length of the room. For myself |

Pedro Francisco entered.
His black, cleaning eyes glanced to-

rested upon the beautiful. tear-stained
face Of Jacinta.
He beckoned for her to leave her
fathers side and come to him.
He led her to distant corner, and
bent to speak in her ear words that
could be heard by herself alone
'You can save your fathers life," he
said.
She glanced quickly and beseechingly
at him.
"Jacinta." he said. have you heard
the order Of the king?"
She bowed her head.

MORE ROLLING STOCK
Manager Gerllnger Makes Large Pur-
chase for Dallas 6 Falls City
Railroad.

L. Gerlinger, Jr., general manager
of the Dallas & Falls City railroad,
accompanied by Mrs. Gerlinger, ar
rived home Sunday from a three
weeks visit to the Middle West.
During his absence from home, he
visited Minneapolis, st. Paul, Chicago,
st. Louis and other large cities, while
Mrs. Gerlinger visited friends in
Minneapolis. Both enjoyed the trip,
but were glad to get away from the
extreme heato the Mississippi Valley.
The object of Mr.. Gerlinger's trip
was to buy additional equipment for
his road, and he reports the purchase
of "a fiat-cars of the latest improved
make from the American Car &
Foundry Company. Each of these
cars is Al feet long and has carrying
capacity Of 10000 pounds. The cars
are Of the same class as those used by
the Northern Pacific Company. I'm
mediately upon their arrival, they
will be put into use in hauling logs
from Falls City to Dallas, and the
road will no longer be hampered by a
lack Of rolling stock.
Mr.. Gerlinger says the Middle West
is enjoying great prosperity, and that
Chicago and Minneapolis are making
a phenomenal growth. The extent to
which building operations are being
carried on in Chicago is simply
wonderful. The lumber market is
lively, and all sawmills are being
operated to their utmost capacity.
Laboring men are scarce in all lines
of industry, and the sawmills Of the
Mississippi Valley are as badly handi-
capped by a scarcity Of laborers as are
those Of the Pacific Coast.

w. L. Duby, who married a niece of
the late Adam X. Wilson, of this city,
and his brother-in-la James Wilson,
were drowned in the Gasconade River
near Dixon, Missouri, on the after
noon of August l6. Mr.. Duby was a
son-in-law, and Mr.. Wilson a son Of
the late Walter L. Wilson, who will
be remembered as having visited in
Dallas several times while his brother
was living in this city. The following
brief account Of the fatal accident is
taken from the st. Louis Republic Of
August IS:
"Dixon, Mo-, August 1.-THE bodies

DEATH FOLLOWS OPERATION
j. M. Haggard Dies OF Appendicitis
at Good Samaritan Hospital
in Portland.

James M. Haggard, we'll and favor
ably known as citizen of Polk county,
died at the Good Samaritan Hospital
in Portland on Friday Of last week.
He had been in failing health for
several months. About three weeks
ago he went to Portland for treatment,
and shortly after arriving at the
hospital, submitted to an operation
for appendicitis. Little hope was
entertained for his recovery at first,
but in few days he rallied and his
condition appeared favorable until a
short time before the final collapse
came last Friday.
Mr.. Haggard was born in Yamhill
county, Oregon, January 4, 1856. He
was married to Mrs. Emma Ward in
November, 1898. His absence, not
only in the home but in the church,
will be deeply felt. He was pro-
gressive citizen whose interest in the
public welfare was felt and appre-
ciated. AS Christian, he was active,
consistent and influential. The United
Evangelical Church at Lewisville has
lost one of its most useful members.
The funeral services were held at
the family home near Lewisville on
Sunday and interment took place at
the Smith burying ground. Rev.
w. L. Arnold, his pastor, and Rev.
d. M. Metzger, of Dallas, officiated at
the services.

Charles MattlsOn Is Dead. l..

The cordial smile and friendly hand
clasp of Charlie Mattison will be seen
nor felt no more by his many friends
of Independence. After two and a
half months illness he passed away
at 2 80 p. m., Sunday. Independence
had no more honorable or stable citi-
zen than Charles Mattison. He was a
man of kindly and sympathetic nature,
and good business qualifications.
At the time of his death he was a
member of the city council and his
judgment was always deferred to as
good by his associates. He was i'm
portuned to accept the mayoralty at
last election but declined the offer.
Among the farmers of Polk county
who won rich returns from the soil
through cultivation of hops was
Charles Mattison, who was born in
Oswego, N. Y, June z, lS4S. He was
the son of Isaac and grandson Of
Alfred Mattison, both of New York.
In Michigan occurred the marriage Of
Mr.. Mattison to Miss ElnOra Wilson.
The marriage was blessed by the birth
of five children, of whom Lovina, the
eldest, is the wife of W. w. Perry.
The remaining four, Jessie, William,
Grover and Bertha, are still at the
family home. Mr.. Mattison was a
member of the Salem lodge of Elks.
He leaves four brothers, Liant and

Astoria, and Richard, of Dallas.-In-

PROPERTY OWNERS OBJECT
RemOnstrance Against Ordinance Pro-
Viding for Cutting Down Shade
Trees Is Being Circulated.

An ordinance giving electric light
and telephone companies authority to
cut all shade trees down to a height Of
90 feet, where the limbs interfere with
their wires, was introduced and read
in the city council meeting, Monday
night. AS no discussion Of an ordi-
nance is permitted in the council until
it has been passed to its second read
ing, the measure was ordered to lie on
the table until the next regular meet
ing of the board on Monday evening,
September1 II. Considerable opposition
to the measure has developed among
property who think it too
radical in its provisions, and remon-
STRANGE against its passage is being
circulated for signatures.
The controversy between the council
and the mill-race company was COM
promised at the meeting Monday eve
ming, the race owners agreeing to
construct the cribbing on each side Of
the race at the Main street crossing,
and the city to put on the cover. The
Street Commissioner was ordered to
make the improvement according to
the terms Of the agreement.
The hearing of objections to the
construction of new sidewalks was
continued until Monday, September
II, at 80 p. m.
Councilman Sibley reported that the
Willamette Valley Lumber Company
has offered to bring Main street to
grade where it crosses their pond, and
to furnish rock for the top dressing if
the city will load it on the cars.
A bid for the construction of the Oak
Street sewer was ordered returned to
the bidder unopened, pending the re-
adjustment Of the sewer grade.

Now that Polk county is out of debt
and has money in her treasury, the
time is ripe for concerted movement
for better roads. Nothing would add
more to the growth and prosperity Of
the county than a system of first-class
country roads, and the money spent
in improving the highways would
prove the best investment that could
possibly be made. Let the County
Court lead the way in this important
improvement, and the people will
gladly follow.
