NeMspapers Are "Up Against H."

People who think that running a
newspaper, booming the country and
publishing optimistic screeds about
big wheat yields, high priced land
and other similar brain productions
is a pleasant task should disabuse
their minds Of this idea.
All during the harvest season the
East Oregonian has taken pride in pub
fishing the boasted wheat yields ot
this exceedingly dry season and has
taken especial pleasure in saying that
the wheat crop of Umstilla county is
almost normal despite the lack OF
rain. All of this has pleased land
owners, merchants, business and pro
fessionaI men, and has had decided
ly beneficial effect throughout the
county, state and nation az it adver
tised UmHtilla county as one OF the
places where failures are abs olutely
unknown.
But imagine the surprise which wai
brought to this office this morning by
several well known reservation rent
eres who have harvested but average
crops this year They said that the
boasting articles in the East Oregon
ian and other Umatilla county papers
had had the effect of raising rent
from 81 to 81 per acre on the land
they they are farm ng and they con-
slider that the optimistic articles IN
question have therefore damaged them
personally by making them pay out
mole for rent, thereby reducing their
ban deposits by that mu They

BACK IN new YORK
RAE TELLS OF TRIP

George Rae, of Rae & Hatfield, says
the Fruit Trade Journal, returned
Monday OF this week from an extend
ed business trip through the fruit
producing sections of the northwest,
which was made for the purpose of
sizing up the fruit outlook aud clos
ing up contracts for bis firm. lie re-
ports that he bad q very successful
trip and that bis firm will have larger
shipments of fruit from these sections
than ever, and that the quality of the
apples will be especially fine.
In speaking OF the outlook In the
sections he visited, Mr.. Rae said !:
"North Yakima will have a fine crop
OF apples, peaches and pears, the pear
crop being the largest ever produced
In that section. This crop begins
moving this week. In the Wenatchee
and Lake Chelsu section there will be
double the apple crop Of last year and
the apples will te exceedingly fine.
Rogue river has a good apple crop,
but the pear crop Is very short
Hood River has a bumper apple crop
OF very fine quality. In the Grsnde
Ronde and John Day country there
will be full crop. Coming down
the Payette Valley to Idaho there is a
very fine crop of apples and pruues.
Utah has fire crop Of apples and
peaches. In Colorado. Palisade, Gilt
ton. Fruitdale and Fruita are without
apples, but there will be few pears.
East OF Rifle there will be a fine crop
of apples and peaches, the latter being
the finest crop ever grown In that
sectinn. In the Montrose county
and the Montezums valley there is
good crop of fine apples of practically
all varieties. On the northern slope
at Paonia and Hotchkiss there is
good crop Of apples and fair crop of
peaches. At Delta the apple crop is
light, but they will ship about 100
cars against $50 cars shipped from
this point two years ago. Taking the
entire producing section Of the north
west ! feel safe In saying that the ap-
pie crop will De exceptionally large
and collectively of very fine quality.
The weather has been exceedingly hot
and this has aided very mater tally In
the peaches to mature early"

WHY COLDS ARE DANGEROUS

~ SCT-|IS5N
Because you have contracted ordinary
colds and recovered from them without
treatment of any kind, do not for a nom
ent imagine that colds are not danger
Gus. Everyone knows that pneumonia
and chronic catarrh have their origin in a
common cold. Consumption is not
caused bya cold but the cold prepares
the system forithe reception and devel-
opment Of the germs thatswould not other
wise have found Judgment. It is the
same with all infectious diseases. Diph-
iberia, scarlet fever, measles and whoop-
ing cough, are much more likely to be
contracted when the child has a cold.
You will see from this that more real
danger turks in a cold than in any other
of the common ailments. The easiest
and quickest way to cure a cold is TO take
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. The
many remarkable cures effected by this
preparation have made it a staple article
Of trade over a large part Of the world.

Death of Mrs.T. o, Ror ie

Taken from the Western Methodist.
 Our church and community are in deep sorrow. Sister Rorie, wife of Rev. T. o. Rorie, passed away yesterday, Monday, about 5 p. m. Though she had been in poor health for the past 4 or 5 years, but few realized the end was so near. Her body will be laid to rest this afternoon at their old home. Philadelphia.
 With sister Rorie all is we'll. For 28 years she had known in whom she believed. A few moments before leaving she said to me, "It is all right. am not afraid to go." Let the brethren remember brother Rorie and family at the throne of grace.
