TELLS OF LEPERS.
Priest Reviews Conditions on the
Plague-Island, MolOl1ai.

EIuSuC-ANiuiius uOiOhaAs
Father L. L. Conrardy spoke at the
cathedral yesterday, says the Port
land Oregonian. He told of his work
among the Hawaiian lepers, and
spoke of the efforts he expects to put
forth in behalf of the unfortunates in
China. He is to speak at st. Mary's
Catholic church next Sunday on "Civ-
ilization." DR.. Conrardy said in part
yesterday:
"In the Sandwich Islands the Ha-
waiian government established, in
1S56,a leper settlement on the island
of Molokai and, both before and since
the annexation of the islands by the
United States. the lepers have been
provided for. Between $4,000 and
$4,000 has been expended in their be-
half up to the present time. In
those days the lepers were left to care
for themselves.
"At the present time there reside
in the settlement two Catholic priests,
one at Kalaupapa and one at Kala-
wac, about three miles distant from
each other. There are six churches.
two Catholic, two Calvinist, and two
Mormon. The lepers and their
friends are now stirred by the hope
Of cure. the discovery of which is
announced with confidence by a
Swiss, machinist named Wallach.
The Hawaiians have requested the
board of health to give his treatment
a thorough trial"

LUMBER TRADE PICKS UP.
Many Mills Are Resumlng and Orders
Are Increasing-Outlook Good.


Resumption Of operations by a
number of lumber mills this month Is
giving the trade the roseate hue OF
which It has been deprived for sew
eral months and the increasing orders
lead to the belief that the market
will in the near future be In fine con-
ditlon, says the Spokesman-Review
But for the standard demand main
tanned by the northwestern territory
in general and the Spokane trade In
particular in the last three months,
the market would have been COM
pietely demoralized. the eastern con-
sumption being but nominal, while
the local territory in January alone
consumed SO per cent Of the total out
put.
The latest report obtainable at the
local offices of the Western Pine
Manufacturers association Is for the
month Of January and this shows that
during the first month of the year 26
of the So mills in the association
were In operation and that the total
output was a little less than 80 per-
cent of what 1t was during the same
month in 1907. Sixty-nine per cent
of the output was marketed in this
territory this year as against 40 per
cent last year The mills operating
are turning out railroad material
and mining timbers for the most part,
but those plants which have line yards
have been running to stock these up.

A MONSTER ASPARAGUS FIELD.
Cherry, Walnut and Asparagus Farm
OF Over Two Hundred Acres In
Lane County.

Articles Of incorporation Of "The

A. C. Woodcock, G.. A. Doris, F. e.
Dunn and c. S. Williams. The capital
stock is $4,000.
The company owns 230 acres Of
the best land in Lane county, about
five miles from Eugene. Sixty acres
have already been planted to cher
ries and so acres to walnuts. Next
spring the walnut ground will be in
creased to 100 acres. Forty-five
acres have been planted to Lambert
and Bing cherries and Is acres to
Royal AIMS. The walnuts are Fran
quette and Mayette. Most Of the wall
nut trees were imported from France
for the company by ]. B. Plnkington,
the nurseryman of Portland. The re-
mainder were procured FROM Thomas
Prince & Son, the owners of the fa-
nous Prince Grove at Dundee. About
1000 peach trees will be planted be-
tween the cherry and walnut trees.
The company has so acres of land
which is considered ideal for the
growing Of asparagus. Over 100000

100 acres will be planted to aspara-
gus. This will undoubtedly be the
largest asparagus field in Oregon.
The lncorporators of this company
believe that they have selected the
three staple products which in time
will make Lane county famous. 1t
is a conceded fact that our cherries
cannot be excelled in the world.
The small grove of walnuts and
isolated trees in this vicinity seem to
have demonstrated also that our soil
and climate are peculiarly adapted
to the growing. of high grade wall
nuts.
Asparagus is generally considered
more of an experiment, but from the
results obtained by Mr.. Doris in his
25-acre asparagus field, the incorpor-
ators of the company confidently ex-
pect great results from their aspara-
gus
This part of the venture of the
company will be watched with gem
eral interest by the people of Lane
county. If its asparagus reaches the
same degree of superiority and COM
mands the same price as the aspara-
gus grown by Mr.. Doris, fact on
which the company entertains little
doubt, new and most profitable in
dustry will he opened up, which will
be of inestimable value to the county
at large.
The promoters of this enterprise
are all men of energy and recognized
business ability, and know what they
are doing
We predict abundant success for
"the asparagus. cherry and. walnut
company of Eugene"

WOMEN WIN LAND CLAIMS.
Lucky Yakima Girls Get Homesteads
and Are Doing We'll.

Hustle counts with officials of the
federal government, according to de-
cisions rendered in North Yakima in
the land entry cases under which
women became possessed of valuable
homesteads, says a Yakima dispatch.
Miss Lulu Hill, Adolphus j. Wacast-
er and Naanan Stoops each sought to
homestead the northeast quarter of
section 4, township 8, range 25, which
is in Benton county, near Prosser.
The land was thrown open to entry at
noon August II last, and each claim
ant claimed to have entered within
a minute after that time.
At a minute after the noon hour
Miss Hill moved her house to the
land, then she fenced Is acres, grub
bed five and plowed three. Wacaster,
who entered at the same time, threw
up tent and began the erection of
a house. He cleared eight acres.
Stoops erected a tent and hauled in
lumber for a house. He cleared no
land. Miss Hill won title to the land
because of her superior improve
ments, the total value of which was
figured at s100
Miss Jessie M. Shelby won her
claim to a homestead in section
township 8, range 25, in the same
manner over the claim of Mrs Eliza
beth Pyle. She had taken lumber to
the land, erected house, inclosed
1870 acres and cleared 35 acres. Mrs.
Pyle had drawn her house, complet-
ed on the tract and served lunch
from 1t to friends who assisted her,
but her other activities were not
equal to those Of her rival.
These two quarter sections are con-
sidered to. be the most valuable home
steads awarded in a long time. The
land was originally withdrawn from
entry under the provisions Of the
Yakima irrigation project, but were
restored last summer.

Members of the local militia who

new firearms. The new rifle is
slightly shorter than the old that has

the bayonet, which now is about 16
inches long.
The bayonet, like that OF the old
rifles, Is detachable and when not In

The Baker City Democrat says of
the return Of the federal district lob
byists from Washington and of the
prospects for the federal district bill:
Charles P. Murphy ambassador
from Baker City to the national cap
ital returned yesterday morning look
ing like the vice president of the
United States. His mission together
with Mayor Johns, has not been en-
tirely without fruit. for as readers
will see from an interview with the
Democrat there is still hopes for the
second judicial district. and the court
at Baker City.
Mr.. Murphy had a pleasant trip and
met the great men of the nation and
returned with much of information
that will be of special value to the
readers of the Democrat. We are
pleased to give the first installment
OF Mr.. Murphy's observation while
away and after he has had the oppor-
tunity with Mr.. Johns to make a re-
port to the Business Mems association
he will no doubt have more to say to
the public.
Mr.. Murphy said in part: Inas-
much as both Mayor Johns and my
self went to washington in the inter-
ests of the federal judicial bill at the
request of the Citizens league and the
Business Mems association, feel that
the first detailed report should be
made to those bodies; however, as the
public interest in this bill is so great
il may not be out of the way at this
time to say that our work at Washing
ton has borne some results and we
are practically assured Of getting the
new court, even though there be some
little delay.
At the present time there is con-
siderable difficulty in getting any leg
islatlon through where it involves any
further appropriations. Senator Full
ton had done all that he possibly
could do in behalf of the bill which
he introduced into and succeeded in
passing through the senate. The bill
Is now in the hands of the sub-com-
mittee of the judiciary committee Of
the house.
After succeeding in enlisting assist
ance from a number of congressman
from the east and the middle west, we
had a formal hearing before the SUBJ
committee on the afternoon Of We'd
nesday, March 4. the members Of the
subcommittee being Colonel A. s.
Alexander of New York, G. j. Dieke-
man of Michigan, and Judge Clayton
OF Alabama.
After the matter had been intro
duced by Mr.. Ellis, Mr.. Johns and
went over the situation in detail, urg-
ing not only the necessity of the bill,
but also the particular claim of Ba-
ker City as the seat Of that court.
We were subjected to rigid line OF
questioning by the members Of the
committee, but at the close Of the ar
guments made by US, Judge Clayton
announced himself as ready to vote In
behalf Of the bill and Colonel Alex
ander and Mr.. Diekema stated that on
the showing made we were certainly
entitled to some relief and that the
only question that presented itself in
their minds was whether or not an
arrangement giving Baker City two
terms Of federal court and having the
judge and officers of the Portland
court come here for that purpose,
would not answer the present de-
mands and relieve the situation for the
time being.
Both Of these members Of the COM
mittee desired to have some further

WHAT CAUSES INDIGEsTIoNY
To Be Cured. Weakness OF Stomach
Muscles Must Be Overcome.


Muscles Must Be Overcome.
The chief cause of Indigestion is the
lack Of gastric Juice.
BY taking Mi-o-na stomach tablets
the stomach muscles will be stimu-
lated and strengthened and the flow
of gastric Juice will be increased. MI
o-na does not do the stomach's work;
II makes the stomach strong enough
to do 1t. In this way the trouble is
completely cured and there is no fur
ther need of medicine.
No matter how severe a case OF
stomach trouble you have, Mi-o-na
will cure 1t by strengthening the whole
digestive system, and you Will soon
find that both stomach and bowels
do their work as they should.
Tallman & Co. sell Mi-o-na In 90
cent boxes, and guarantee to refund
the money II the remedy does not give
complete satisfaction.
If you suffer with sick headache,
heartburn, bad taste In the mouth,
coated tongue, specks before the eyes,
sleeplessness, nervous troubles. or any
of the other symptoms OF indigestion
here is the chance to get remedy on
the fairest plan ever known-costs
nothing unless It cures.

in typewritten form.
And in that condition the bill re-
mains at present. There is some fur
ther work to be done and further ac-
tion to be taken before the matter
progresses further, and both Mr.. Johns
and myself feel that 1t would be only
proper to first await the expression
of opinion by the people here before
asserting to the suggestion of the
committee for the change in the bill.
