Mir. Rancher, just a minute! A neighbor of ours sent to Chicago for a watch. It was 15 jeweled Waltham, and he brought it to me and asked what the value of it was. He said he paid $8.4 for it and when told him that I sold that grade of watch of the Jeweler S quality at S750, he did not look very pleased.
 1 have worked in watch factories and also some of the largest jew elry stores, both in England and America, and know what l am talking about when l am talking about watches.
 "The superintendent of large watch factory while instructing his classiier, holds in his hands two watches which, in appearance, are exactly the same, but there is a great difference. Watch No. 1 is as nearly perfect as human skill can make it, and is sold only through the jewellers and cannot be sold for less than S25 While watch No. 2 looks to be the same as No. l, there is an imperfection. It is true that it has the same number of jewels and all other parts, but you see that some of the jewels are faulty, the pivots don't fit their jewels and the springs are imper- feet. It has been handled roughly and to make it perfect would cost about as much as it would to build new one out and out, and if sent to a jeweler it would come back So, as a matter of course, it is money for the factory to class it second or discontinued sell it to the mail order department of the catalogue house at one-third less than the first quality or watch No. 1, or at discount of $8.50. The factory has noth- ing further to do with this watch. The mail order house is at liberty to sell it for what they choose. As a matter of fact, the mail order house proceeds to catalogue it and sell it to those unaware of the tricks of the trade and who live thousands of miles away"
 I have a good stock of ladies and gentlemen's watches, guaranteed to be of the first quality, suitable for Xmas presents, and until further notice shall take 25 per cent off the catalogue price, from S1.00 up. Call in and see me be- fore sending outside.

Children In italy are not allowed to
rub their eyes. When an infant bursts
into tears no effort is made to repress
the emotion, but the youngster is al
lowed to have Its cry out. 1t is as
serted that this heautifies the eyes and
makes them clear, while rubbing the
eyes Injuries them in many ways.
In many cases a wonderful improve

NO CAUSE FOR
Us TO WORRY

10 him who Is in doubt as to the
prosperity OF the country, a glance at
agi icultural conditions alone should
be sufficient to sweep away his fears.
Can county whose agricultural in
terest represents the bulk of the pop
ulstion be anything but prosperous
when this years product will be 625,
SGT 900 bushels of wheat. 1853, 1872, 900
bushels of corn, TAI, ., 52l, 900 bushels of
oats, lat, 1872, 600 bushels of barley,
81, 566, 600 bushels of rye. 1901, 900
bushels Of buckwheat, 25, 100, 00O bush.
els of fiax-seed, q, 412, 900 bushels OF
rice, 292, ,427. 900 bushels of potatoes,
60, 766, 600 tons Of hay, and 645, 2l3, 600
pounds of tobacco? Nature has more
than performed her work, and, what
is more, this wealth goes to farmers
who have been acquiring bank talano,
es for some years past To get the
value OF this wealth, take the corn
crop alone, which will sell approx
mately at 81, 500, 900, 600, or moro than
the entire worlds product of gol aud
silver. In mining circles the prCdnc
tion of wealth this year ia equally
astounding, the quantity of iron Gre
alone amounting Ia nearly 47,749,000
long tons, valued at over 500, 500, 600,
nor have We mentioned the cotton
crop in tie agricultural figures, nor
touched upon the gold and silver pro-
ductioD, or dozens of other real
wealth producing industries.
For three years past the immigra.
tion from foreign lands has been over
l, 600, 900 year, while the increase of
the native population has been very
great. The wealth of the United
States Ia now sl20, 900, 900, 900, which
is more than the combined wealth Uf
France and England.
Those who take a gloomy view of
the outlook for business in the United
States says james W. Van Cleave,
president OF the National Association
of Manufacturers should ponder these
facts: While the United States has
only five per cent of the worlds pop
ulation, ii produces 20 per cent of it's
wheat, 25 per cent of its gold, 33 per
cent of Its coal, 35 per cent of its
man ufactures, SS per cent of its sill
YER, 40 per cent of it's iron, AZ per
cent of its steel, 50 per cent of its pc
troleum, 55 per cent of it's copper, 20
per cent of Its cotton and 80 Ger cent
of its corn.
And yet the producing possibil ties
of the country are beyond calculation.
In agriculture, millions of acres of
land remain untouched, while the
rapid and steady growth of the oil,
coal aud mining industries demon
J strates the inexhaustible wealth that
lies beneath The soil.
. With such a country and such a
people why indeed should prosperity
not continue?
Ponder these facts for awhile then
call at our store and we will be pleased
to show you the finest stock of goods
ever brought to Wasco county. See
, our ad elsewhere. With bast wishes
we are LaTaway, the Jewellers
