A UNEMPLOYMENT local democrat
came back to town the other day
from a rather extensive trip. which in
cluded stop off at Fairview, now the
mecca for all followers of the Peerless.
With him he brought a new pocket piece.
which he seemed to prize highly. for
he'd hardly let 1t go out OF his hand.
What do you suppose it was? Nothing
more or less than one Of those 'interna
tional' coins that the free silver folk
used to dream about. night and day, when
the silver issue was as lively as cricket.
1t is a peculiar looking thing. slightly
smaller than a half-dollar piece. with
gold center and a silver rim. the gold and
silver being in the accepted ratio of six
teen to one.
1t was the idea of the real dyed in-the
wool free silverites that after William
Jennings Bryan had been elected Presi-
dent and free silver had becom an &C
complished fact. the lead of the United
States would be followed by the other
big nations of the world and that this
gold-silver coin would become internation-
al money, good anywhere on top of the
earth.
There used to be lot Of them around
in the good old days. but they're get
ting scarce now. Another loyal demo-
crat offered the returned pilgrim a ten
spot for this particular coin and he
turned it down like a flash
I'm republican myself. and I'd have
thought the offer over, at least.

fine business at his Shaniko hotel
and as a result will erect an ad-

The improvements will consist

The statement should not be
made an issue in the legislature,
for there are other matters to
consider beside the statement,
and it affects only the senator
ship. If a member introduces a
good bill it should be passed, ir-
respective of whether the advo-
cate of the bill is a statement man

anything can be gained by or
ganizing the Senate and House
on the statement. The state

favor organization without the
statement. ;"

The Harve Ster'S

Since Gillian county has be-

producing districts in Oregon, it
is only natural that the every
day life of the harvesters be

venient in its surroundings.
The modern cook house which
follows the harvesting crew, is al
most the equal of a Pullman diner

tidy accommodations offered TO
the men who toll in the harvest

test. 1t is unfortunate that
those who started the movement
to send him there did not carry
their plans to fruition.
A Cheyenne exchange says:
TO Stanley belongs the honor
of being the first man who ever
scratched Old Steamboat and
remained on his back. for the
best riders in the country have
failed to stick and scratch the
outlaw.

FOR CLEAR, VELVETY SKIN.
Plenty of Fresh Air and a Good Mas.
sage Cream Are Essential.

Good teeth, sparkling eyes and beau
tiful hair are all essential to personal
attractiveness, but probably the great
est charm of woman is a clear, fresh.
velvety skin. Queens have paid for
tunes to attain this one charm alone
But cosmetics and artificial beauti-
fiers won't accomplish what aid ing ma
ture will. A muddy or otherwise un-
fortunate complexion is best overcome
by the following plan. Give up greasy
foods and heavy pastries. Take daily
exercise out of doors, or when driving
fill the lungs with good blood-purifying
air. Breathe deep, hold the breath
and then eXhale forcibly. This expels
the stagnant air in recesses of the
lungs. 1t is this stagnGnt air that lit
orally poisons the system, making bad
blood which in time shows on the face.
Also assist nature by external treat
ment of the face. Nearly every mod
ern woman uses some face or cleans
ing cream. This is more true in the
cities than the country, but women in
smaller communities are beginning to
realize the necessity of face cream
as bad for the complexion as is the
dust of big city. Notice a sunbeam
coming through the window into a
room. You will see thousands of small
dust particles floating in the air
These get into the pores and work
havoc unless ones eliminating system
is unusual. A cleansing or massage
cream works down into the pores and
brings out these dust particles which
soap and water cannot reach. More
over, the massaging of the face is in
itself beneficial, as it starts the red
blood coursing to the cheeks. Care
must be used to select a reliable mas
sage cream. A good massage cream
plus plenty of fresh air and proper
diet will work wonders in preserving
and beautifying ones complexion
woman's dearest charm.

When Collar Has Made a Line.

When the line of the collar is seen
or the neck and will not come off, it
is time to do something definite to re-
move the discoloration of the skin.
1t is often effective to apply perox-
ida of hydrogen with bit of absorb
ent cotton. Dab it on at night after
most thorough washing of the neck in
hct soap suds. Leave it on all night
ard scrub again thoroughly with hot
soap suds in the morning, rinsing off
with cold water. Repeat this every
night till the stain or line disappears.
