Aged Ministers ReIiei Fund.

Hugh T. Inman, wealthy capi-
talist of Atlanta, Ca, proposed some
time ago that if the Southern Pres
byterian church would raise $685.
600 for an aged ministers relief
fnnd, that he would supplement the
same with a gift of 100000. He
further stated that he would not re-
quire all this amount to be raised
before making his gift available, but
that he would give $4,000 when the
church had raised $62,50O. The con-
ditions have already been more than
complied with, the church having
raised $4,000 by the first of Janu-
ary, aud Mr.: Inman has already
given his check for $4,000 and will
give $4,000 more during the month.

relieve the railroad of much of the

cotton would not have to ship hum

folly to continue on and ON in these,

Revolution in salIno and Handling Cotton.

Revolution In Ballns and Handling Cotton.
From every interest in either the
production, the handling, the trans
portation and the manufacturing OF
cotton comes the demand for 4
change in our methods of baling,
storing and transporting of cotton.
That change would benefit all
concerned, if done along the line of
genuine Improvement in our meth.
dds, no one is prepared to deny.
But the main obstruction in the
way of radical changes in this, as
well as all other such changes, is the
lack of concert of action among all
concerned. Tho dull interest of
spinners or buyers and sellers must
be set aside in order to con to-
gether in conference for the mutual
benefit of all. IS
1t is beyond doubt to the interest
of both the producer and the manu-
faoturer to have the raw staple leave
first hands at the gins in q dense
package, well protected from pillage
and CRIME and of standard shape and
uniform weight of covering-pro-
duoers of the new staple get their
full share of the reduction in tare in
the reduction of weight of the bag
ging as well as the freight on the
same.
No doubt about it that the farmer
is made to stand all athe loss and
freight incident en- route from the
gin to the mills above the net weight
of the clean lint cotton. The reduc-
tion of one-half the cubit space in
the warehouses, cars and ships should
cut these charges that the farmer
pays on the net lint to the mills, in
half. Likewise, the reduction in
weight of the uniform covering
would call for like reduction in
tare that should rightly go to the
credit of the producers of cotton.
In addition to all these benefits
mentioned to the farmer, III. w.
McAlister, president of the Lanca-
shire cotton investigating commit
tee-now in this country-mentions
that in his opinion this closer pack
ing would relieve the congestion of

PLAN TO BUST" THE PAPER TRUST

speculative clique are therefore stiU
waiting for their dividends.
Should the campaign by the pub
fishers be successful in cutting down
the tariff on pulp and paper the
trust would probably fare Ill for its
accumulated floating and funded debt
Is so large that it takes huge earn
lngs to meet the interest charges to
say nothing Of dividends on the pre-
fcrfed stock.
The publishers have the sympathy
of the public which dislikes to pay
more for its daily papers than the
prevailing price of one cent. The
poorer classes would be the greatest
sufferers for the papers read by the
working population are largely PEN
ny papers.
Consequently the fight against the
trust for a reduction of the tariff es-
pecially on pulp and paper from
Canada which has enlisted the sup
port both OF democratic and repub-
llcan organs, is half won for the
power of public opinion is too well
recognized at Washington to meet
with any opposition of moment.
Success to the movement, however
may force some Of the paper makers
into bankruptcy for the reason that
the capitalization OF most paper conf
panies is greatly inflated.

lin Hill is not going to compromise
nor temporize with the striking DOLL

kane derby last Wednesday and
brought home to his owner both fame
and money, a purse of $1,000 being
given to the winner of the race.
The race brought out the fastest
field ever seen at the interstate fair
track. There was scarcely a choice
between the animals, though the Dunn
entry, Columbian Girl and Sidney F.,
coupled, were the favorites in the
betting, Cabin coming close. BY a
magnificent spurt at the half-mlle
post, Cabin took the lead, and was
never headed, Sidney F. losing by
just nose, and Columbian Girl fin
ishing a close third.
Jockey Bullman, on Cabin, rode a
good race, never forcing his horse
until near the close of the race, when
he brought out all the speed that was
in his mount and succeeded in hold
ing the place he had gained.

EAT WHAT YOU WANT.
Science Has Now Found the True
Way TO Cure Indigestion.

A few years ago, when q sufferer
from Indigestion went to a stomach
specialist, the result was rigid diet
list that almost meanut starvation.
But the first thing to be done In
the case of indigestion or stomach
weakness is to strengthen the muscu-
lar walls of the stomach and intes-
tines, so that they will care for the
food that Is eaten. In no other
way can this be done as we'll as by
taking a Mi-o-na tablet before each
heal This restores strength to the
stomach muscles and stimulates the
pouring out of gastric juices, so tnat
the food is digested readily and its
nourishment retained In the system
to build up energy and vitality.
Do not think the sick headache.
heartburn. bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, spots before the eyes.
sleeplessness and the many other
symptoms that are the derict result
Of Indigestion. will go away of them
selves The stomach must be built
up and strengthened by Ml-o-na be-
fore you can be well and strong, free
from suffering and distress.
In many of the best homes in PEN
dleton and adjoining towns, the
handy little Ml-o-na tablets, so pleas
ant to take, yet so effective. have
given quick and lasting relief from
indigestion and that disagreeable full
feeling after eating.
The guarantee that Tallman &
company give with every 5O-cent box
OF Mi-o-na, to refund the money
unless the remedy cures, shows their
confidence In the treatment Tall
man & Co. take the whole risk, and
Mi-o-na will not cost you a penny
unless It cures.

EUGENE y GOOD DRY TOWN.
Salem Editor Reviews the Effects OF
Prohibition.

Charles II. Jones, editor OF the Ore
gon Teachers Monthly who has just
visited Eugene, says of business condi-
tions there under strict prohibition:
eugene Is an exceptionally pros
porous and enterprising city and was
never better than now, Notwithstanding
the town is dry. This fact is a dis
appointment to those fho said before
the election that the town would be
killed If local option carried.
zone afternoon during my stay in
Eugene / took the trouble to inter
view most of the business men Of the
town in regard to the effect the ex-
cYusion Of the saloons had had upon
the town in a business way or other
vice. With one exception all agreed
most emphatically that business had
been benefited and that the general
moral tone of the town was much I'M
proved.
Some made the claim their own
business had increased from one-third
to one-half since the saloons had
been banished. This Of course, they
did not claim was brought about en-
tirely by local option. Several men
said that some of their customers
who were not prompt in the payment
Of bills before were now as good pay
as any.
"All agreed that there would be no
fear Of the town ever going back TO
the old conditions. Many who once
favored the saloons, were now enthu-
siastlc in their opposition to them
"Eugene has just finished the paw
ing of eleven blocks, from the depot
along willamette street to the high
school. Contracts are already let for
about rs more blocks and the work
is being pushed rapidly. There is
but little building being done In the
business part of the city, but this is
accounted for by the opening up OF
the 12 saloons for other kinds of
business. These rooms are all occu-
pied and there is not vacant busl-
ness house in the city.
"In the residence part OF the city
great deal of building is going on
and It Is said that there Is hardly a
vacant dwelling In town."

New York, oct. 2.-Another trust
has been added to the list of bad
trusts. Th!s time the listing has not
kaen done by the national adminls7
tration at washington, but by the
American Newspaper Publishers as
roCiation.
The trust is the combination Oi
white paper manufacturers who fur
nish the press Of the country with
the material on which the news OF the
day is sent to the world. The charge
Is made that by curtaling production
and the failure of the paper manu-
tacturers to meet the growing de-
mand by building new mills, the trust
has been enabled to put up the price
Of newsprint to an almost prohibi-
tive figure.
The Publishers association asserts
that II the tariff on wood pulp were
taken off the demand for newsprint
could be met by imports from Can
ada and the committee which was
appointed to see what could be done
70 relieve the situation will direct
its efforts. mainly towards the abol-
Ishment OF the tariff.
The paper manufacturers have 80
Gr been unable to make any real
reply that they we're an illegal COM
bination. While 1t is Of course true
that there has been certain amount
Of rivalry between the international
Paper company. the biggest Of the
concerns, and some Of Its smaller
competitors, the rivalry has never
been permitted to go so far as to hurt
business.
The International Paper company
has been managed in somewhat pc
culiar way. II has long been con-
trolled by clique with speculative
tendencies Financial publications in
Wall street have called attention to
that fact from time to time, but the
attitude Of the public has been pas
sive.
The speculative control has piled
debts on the company In its efforts
70 save enough out Of the income TO
pay dividends on the enormously
watereS sock. but these efforts were
unavalling and then recourse was
had 70 the advance Of the price Of
wood pulp and parer in order TO in
creose the profits. Unfortunately for
the paper trust. this advance in price
was accompanied in the advance in
price of the raw material and the

Apropos Of the races Sunday after
noon, w. J. Murphy tells the story Of
a contest arranged between a man and
horse which took place many years
ago In the Adirondack region of New
York state for wager Of $4,000,
says the Washtucna Enterprise. The
horse ran 0hours without stopping
and went ~ miles and fraction, and
the man ran an hour a day for 10
days and went 80 miles even. The
man thus won money, beating the
horse nearly eight miles. q days run,
though both man and horse ran the
same number of hours. Much of the
path travelled by the horse was up
and down hill, while that Of the man
was Of his own choosing. He made
an average Of just eight miles an
hour.
