FROM The Pine WOODS.
Hyomei's Aromatic Air is Guar
anteed to Cure Catarrh or
Cost Nothing.

When using the Hyomei treatment, the
air YOU breathe is like that on the noun
tains high above sea level where the pine
woods fill the air with aromatic healing
that gives health and strength to those
suffering from diseases of the respiratory
organs. Breathed through the neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every out
fit, the healing balsams of Hyomei reach
the most remote air cells OF the throat,
nose and lungs. destroying all catarrhal
germs and giving quick relief and cure.
Hyomei has performed almost miracu
lous cures of catarrh, often restoring
health in chronic cases that had given up
all hope of recovery. Its best action is at
the start of the disease, when the breath
is becoming offensive and when dis
charges from the nose, dreppings in the
throat and frequent sneezing or spasmod-
ic coughing begin to make life burden.
At the first symptom of catarrhal trouble
use Hyome and see how quickly you get
reliet and cure.

vention is reached has long since
led us to favor uninstructed dele
gates, especially from those
states having little numerical
strength in the convention. If
such delegations are uninstructed
and act wisely they may easily
WELD a powerful influence in de-
termining the action of the con-
vention.
This cannot be done by a dele
cation hampered by instructions.
It is in honor bound to obey these,
which it usually does until the
final vote when it must stand
with a smiling face and say ''me
too." It has been a known fac
tor all the time, its value deter
mined by it's instructions. 1t has
simply been pawn in game
played by other delegations.
When uninstructed it is an un-
known quantity and may remain
so to the last step in the solution
of the problem. 1t has not been
used as a pawn but has played at
the game, and if it have played
wisely it has had a marked infu-
ence in shaping the final action of
the convention.
Let small delegations be COM
posed of astute men who know
how the game is played ; let them
act as an unit let them be un-
hampered by instructions and
they will accomplish most fol
their states and for the party.
These are some Of the considera-
tions why Oregon should send an
unlnstructed delegation to the
Chicago convention.

DO NOT INSTRUCT.

In some of the states discus
sion has arisen among republi-
cans whether or not their dele
gates to the National Convention
of the party should go instructed
for a particular candidate or be
sent without such instruction.
Of course the delegates from
states having "favorite sons"
candidates will support their own
candidates while there is hope
of nominating him, but the dele
gates from such states as have
no 'favorite sens will support
the candidate who is most popu-
lar in the state the delegates rep
resent. This will be certainly so
if the delegates are instructed,
and probably so if they go unin-
structed.

Easy Calculation In Standardizing or

standardized milk and offended
milk are terms applied to milk which
has been so modified as to contain a
definite amount of one or more of its
constituents. The most important and
at the same time the most variable
constituent is fat. To standardize milk
as regards fat it is simply necessary
to add or remove a certain amount of
this constituent or to add or remove
a certain amount of skim milk. One
thousand six hundred pounds of milk
containing 80 per cent of fat may be
standardized to per cent of fat by re-
moving 320 pounds of skim milk. A

GOOD ROADS LORE.
How Even a Few Improved Highways
Help the Farmer.

Help the Farmer.
Mathematical good roads lore and
the farmers welfare are thus treated
by W. Pierrepont White in the Outing
Magazine:
Railroad officials state that in a
fairly level country, such as Indiana or
Ohio, a steam railroad will have sufh-
cient freight to haul to make it safe
financial investment if it receives the
freight produced from the farms for
distance of five miles on either side
of the steam road and the road is long
enough. In other words, steam roads
in rich agricultural sections are profit
able investments if located ten miles
apart and will not disaStrouSly inter-
fere with the business of each other
in securing local freights. The cost of
transportation on dirt roads is figured
at $3.50 for the hauling of one ton ten
miles, or a cost of % cents per ton per
mile, and by improving the highways
with gravel or macadam and establish
ing proper grades each wagon in place
of carrying one ton will be enabled to
carry with the same team three or
four tons in less time than the one ton
was formerly carried the ten miles to
market, and that, too, for the same
price of $3.50 for the haul, thus reduc-
ing the cost to or s cents per ton per
mile. The following table shows the
cost of hauling product five miles.
which gives readily to the eye the rea-
son why longer haul than five miles
is not profitable unless the product
hauled is of a greater than ordinary
value to the usual product carried:

1t can be mathematically demonstrat-
ed and actually shown to the eye by
the use of highway maps that the i'm
provement of from 8 per cent to 16 per
cent of the total highway mileage of
state being the main highways which
follow the natural valleys or are arbi-
trarily stablished in level sections,
will when improved leave no farm far
ther away than five miles from the
main highways. Therefore the i'm
provement of a comparatively small
percentage of the total mileage is of a
certain and positive value to the entire
agricultural interests of the state, and
it is proper that these roads should be
built and maintained at state expense
as rapidly as may be permitted with
out the creation of burdensome tax
rate upon the people.

Mr.. CAKES SPEECH.

A good audience greeted Hon.
H. M. Cake at the court house
on Tuesday evening thus showing
that our citizens are thoroughly
aroused on the important ques-
tions soon to be settled at the
polls. Mr.. S. L. Kline intro
duced the speaker, paying him
the usual compliments on such
occasions.
The speech was a brief outline
of the history of the republican
party and it's glorious achieve
ments in the past; touching on
the Roosevelt administration and
eulogizing him for his mighty
warfareon trusts and crookedness
in high places, thus showing him
self in full and complete accord
with the President on all vital
questions. He next quietly and
forcibly outlined the policy he
would pursue if elected Senator,
the most important of which are
regulation of railroads, improve
ment of rivers and harbors, re-
clamation of arid lands, free locks
and in fact showed himself in
touch with all progressive move
ments now before the people.
He explained his position as to
the election of a United States
Senator by direct vote of the peo-
pie and gave his reasons for the
faith expressed; called the atten-
tion of his hearers to the fact
that in several instances seats
in the u. S. Senate had been va
cant during the entire session of
congress on account of the fail
ure of the legislature to elect.
That if left to the voter no such
contingency could possibly arise.
That much time and money had
been expended in various states
by employing dilatory tactics, the
most disgraceful being in our own
beloved Oregon where the legis-
lature was held up during the en-
tire term thus mourning the
enormous expense sof an extra
session. That during this time
valuable legislation had been neg
lacted.
1t was fair and manly state
ment OF his views on the ques-
tions at issue, free from personal
abuse of those who might differ
with him on these important
questions, and was listened to
with marked attention by the au-
dience.
TO our mind he did not try to
make a speech, but like good
race horse he just came carefully
down along the line, sizing up the
track, and limbering up the
joints. With good blood, sound
in limb, clean record, good mus
Gle, steady nerve, clear head he
will make swift stopper for the
June election. If he should be
nominated it means death to the
sly old coon who, for the past
four years, has been visiting our
political chicken-coop and pulling
the tail feathers out of our best
roosters. George will find him
game to the core with "pizen" in
his spurs.
