WORK OF CONGRESS.
Main Task 3 tore 1t VIII Be the APP
propriaiion Bills

Washington, Dec 3.-The passage o.
the appropriation bills and as little
other general legislation rs possible
such in brief is the forecast for the
short session of the 59th congress, which
will begin at high noon today.
There has not yet been time for as
general an exchange of views among
members as is ordinarily desired by
leaders before expressing their views,
but all seem to regard the present stu
alton as so simple as to need compare
lively little intercourse to arrive at an
understanding. 1t is evident, for vari-
Gus reasons, that it will not be possible
to do mucch on the appropriation bills
before the holidays, and the circum-
stance will have the effect of condensing
the consideration of the a regular sup
ply measures into two months.
Considering that the aggregate of the
appropriations to be considered will
approximate 81 900, 900, 900, some sem
ators and members express the opinion
that congress cannot do better than
give all Of its lime to these measures,
The report on the ship subsidy bill
probably will be an exception to the
rule for no general legislation. The
friends OF that measure have never been
more insistent than now. They are
extremely hopeful, and yet very appre
hensive.
The bill has passed the senate and is
in committee in the house. The com
mittee has heretofore been quite evenly
divided, but the advocates OF the bill
believe that they will be able to get it
out in due season and they hope for its
when once reported to the
house.

Appeal to the President.

New York, Dec. 4 - Following the
recent demonstrations by their custo-
mers due to the advance in the retail
price OF meat, the Hebrew Retail
Kosher Butchers association met to-
day to decide what could be done to ap-
pease their patrons. Speakers declared
they are helpless to lower the prices

pay increased prices at wholesale. 1t

Crusoe's Island Lives.

Mexico City, Dee. l.-Eugene Metz.
Chilean consul TO Mexico City, received
an official notice from his government
last night TO the effect that the report
circulated last August, at the time of
the disastrous earthquake, saying that
Juan Fernandez island had sunk into
the ocean, was untrue The doctor said
that the report of the disappearance of
the island was at first credited every
where. \ short time ago, however,
warshlps were sent out by the Chilean
government, and the island and its in
habltants were found uniniured.

Elk Protected BY Law.

special session of the Oregon Legislature
in 1908, quite number Of people have
gained the impression that after Janu-
airy /, 1907, it will be lawful to kill
elk, and it is known that several hunt
ers are planning to 90 to the mountains
elk hunting after that date. But the
legislature of 1903 anticipated lapse
in the law protecting elk by enacting a
law which extends the protection until
Is, 1907, and after that time
elk may be killed only from September
10 to October IS, and only one in a sea-
son by any person.

Good Showing of Athena Mill

Athena-An idea Of the magnitude of
the business done at the Touring mills
OF the Preston-Parton Milling company
at this place may be had from the rec
ords of the company's office, which
show that 1916 cars We're shipped over
the Washington * Columbia River rail-
road from January l to November Of
this year. Up to October | 29O cars
were shipped over the Oregon Railroad
x Navigation company's road making
a total of 6S6. This mill turns out
about $50 barrels of flour every "a
hours when running full capacity.

STATE LAND SALES LESS.
Ninety Per Cent Decrease During the
Last Two Years.

Salem-Sales of state land during tn,
wears 1905 and 1906 amounted to only
II, ,037 acres, or about II per cent a
much as in the preceding two years
when the sales aggregated over 233 ,00(
acres. This decrease of nearly 90 pei
cent is due chiefly to the act of the leg
islature in raising the price from 81 %
to 50 so per acre, but is also due in
part to the course Of the State Land
board in beginning prosecution of spec
ulators who were purchasing state land
in violation Of law.
The decrease in receipts is not 50
great however, for those who bought
land prior to the advance in price have
been making payments from time to
time. The total receipts for the two
years ending September 30, 1906, We're
$475, ,S9S 90, as compared with $685.
964 .5S for the preceding two years
The great decrease in receipts resulting
from the diminutiOn of sales will be
apparent in the next two or three
wears, when deferred installment4 On
previous sales will have been paid and
there will be little money due on sales
made during 1908 and 1906. Nearly
all sales of state land are made on the
installment plan, the purchaser taking
three or four years to make his pay
ment.
The falling off in business in the
state land office in the last two years is
evident not only from the decrease in
acreage sold, but in the number of GER
tifcates of sale and deeds issued. Dur
ing 10000 there were issued ,745 GER
titicates of sale and ,9l2 deeds. Dur
ING l905-06 there were issued only 226
certificates of sale and 9S7 deeds. The
amount now due on outstanding certif-
ates of sale of school land is $780,
2l2.70, or only about half the amount
Tue two years ago.

Saem-That the name of the State

State Industrial school is the recon-.

ennlal report. This Recommendation
has been made before and two attempts
have been made in the legis lature to Sc

instance the effort failed Mr.. Loonev
also recommends the establishment of a
state school for wayward girls and the
construction of q cottage for small bows
SO they may be kept by themselves and
not be thrown into association with
larger boys. He asks for an appropria-
ton OF S6O,S0O for the ensuing two
years. The appropriation for the past
two years was $53, 600. The number
OF boys in tie school is 106.
Chaplain f. w. st. Pierre recon-
mends that the maximum age a, aich

that some boys now being sent to the

MISCELLANEOUS
STORM SHEDS.

Practical sheep growers know the
Importance of providing cover for ami
mails on the range or in the yards, so
arranged that sheep can get under COW
er quickly in the event of sudden
storms. A structure of this kind
should be more than a roof; it should
be deep, SO that the sheep can get so
far under it that the storm cannot pos
sib]y reach them.
1t should be hooded shed-that is,
some provision should be made for a
low front which will break the storm
If this is not feasible a good way is to
build up straw stack or a stack of
cornstalks in the open in front of the
open part of the shed, but several feet
away, so that the sheep will not feel
they are penned in, yet can readily get
in by going around the stack on either
side.
The floor of this shed should be dry
at all times, and it is a good plan to
have more or less roughage in it, which
the sheep may MUNICH over to keep
them happy and contented.
1t is not intended that this shed
should be more than place for cover
in the event of storm The barn or
stable should be the regular home and
arranged for comfort. The shed will
save many pounds of mutton, for moth
ing else will pull sheep down more
quickly than exposure to a storm

CHINESE GOOD-LUCK LILIES.

A pretty feature of the Chinese New
Years is the prevalence of the good-luck
lilies which are to be found blooming
in every window in the quarter. The
bulbs Of the lily peculiar to this holiday
are imorted in immense quantities; for
every family, and, for that matter, every
single Chinaman as well, buys at least
three or four, and many are also sold to
Americans who know about them. The
culture of these plants is most simple,
The bulbs being placed in a dish Of
clear water with few pebbles, but no
earth around their roots, spring up al
most like magic, and in few weeks
are in full bloom with a wealth of wax
en- flowers. The leaves and plant re-
semble a young onion, and the flowers,
which are creamy white with yellow
centres, shed singularly insidious per-
fume. The Chinese are intensely super
stitious regarding the growth of these
lilies; and, when they fail to grow and
bloom as they should, they are supposed
to forebode evil. Their successful flow
ering insures the best of luck for the
coming year.-Leslie's Weekly.

A PROUD FROST PRINCESS.

There was once a proud little Icicle
who stood alone out in the cold. She
wore a dress that sparkled like
diamonds, but for all that, no one cared
to go near her. The Snowfakes, were
having a game of tag in the sky. Nearer
and nearer the earth they played until
some of them espied Miss IcicIe.
"Do come and play with us!" they
cried.
But the proud Icicle shook her head,
''No," she said, "you are entirely too
common to play with me. I am prin-
cess"
"I'll show the world what you are
you silly thing!" called Grandfather
Sun from his cloud chariot. So he sent
some of his children, the Sunbeams,
to breathe their hot breath on Miss
Icicle's head. This made her feel so
sick that she wept great tears. The
more she wept the thinner she grew, till
at last tiny pool Of water was all
that was left.

THE cow FROM A CHILD'S STAND
POINT

Here is a little girls composition on
the cow, as it appeared in Hartford
Times: A cow is an animal with four
legs on the under side. The tail is long
er than the legs, but it is not used to
stand on. The cow kills flies with her
tail. A cow has big ears that wiggle on
hinges; so does the tail. cow is big
Der than a calf, but not as big as an
elephant. She is made so small that
she can go into the barn when nobody
is looking. Some COWS are black and
some hook. A dog was hooked once.
She tossed the dog that worried the cat
that killed the rat. Black COWS give
white milk, so do other COWS. Milkmen
sell milk to buy their little girls dresses,
which they put water in and chalk.
Cows chew cuds and each COW finds
it's own chew. This is all there is about
COWS.

Tricked by Dyspepsia.
The Doctor Couldn't Tell Where Tho
Trouble Lay.

For the past seven years, I have
been victim of dyspepsia and chronic
constipation and have consulted the
most noted specialists to be found on
diseases of this character. None, how
ever, seemed to locate the difficulty or
give relief. In addition to this medical
treatment, I have resorted to the use
of many remedies and have given them
faithful trial, but all to no purpose.
Upon the recommendation of close
friend, I purchased a soc package Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and in less
than five days noticed that | was re-
ceiving more benefit than from any
remedy had used before. I continued
to use the tablets after each meal for
one month and by that time my stom-
ach was in healthy condition, capable
of digesting anything which my in
creasing appetite demanded
1 have not experienced any return
Of my former trouble, though three
months have elapsed since taking your
remedy"
We wish that you could see with
your own eyes the countless other bona
f1de signed letters from grateful men
and women all over the land who had
suffered years of agony with dyspepsia,
tried every known remedy and consult
ed eminent specialists without results.
until they gave Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets trial. Like the doctor above, they
couldn't locate the seat of the trouble.
Dyspepsia is a disease which has long
baff1ed physicians. So difficult of To-
cation is the disease that cure seems next
to miraculous. There is only one way
to treat dyspepsia-to supply the ele-
ments which nature has ordained to per-
form this function and to cause them
to enter the digestive organs, supplying
the fluid which they lack. Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets alone fill these require
ments. as is shown by the fact that
10000 physicians in the United States
and Canada unite in recommending
them to their patients for stomach dis
orders.
We do not claim or expect Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets to cure anything but
disOrdered conditions of the stomach
and other digestive organs, but this
they never fail to do. They work upon
the inner lining of the stomach and
intestines, stimulate the gastric glands
and aid in the secretion of juices nee
essary to digestion.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents a box
One box will frequently effect a per-
feet cure. IF in doubt and wish more
