Oregon. once the campaign started
1t was speedily seen that the Oft

such a whale of man after AL,
The nearer Oregon makes 1t unaa-
imous for Cako the better for ore

party politics still count; they don

The railroad commission is about
TO issue an order compelling a redue-
tion of express rates throughout the
entire state. Rate Clerk Miller. aft
er investigating the rates. finds them
very unjust in nearly every section
o, the state. In some instances. the
rates are doubled Immediately after
passing a certain point. For instance
at The Dalles, the rate to that point
from Portland is 60 cents. but after
passing that city it is doubled Ac-
tion may be taken by the commission
at any time.

vania delegates were elected in d.
rect primaries. and with the excep-
tion OF one Wisconsin delegate,
elected as Supporter OF Secretary
Taft, the Wisconsin and Pennsyl-
vania delegates are credited as "in-
structed" for the candidates OF

state convention direct the state del
egation TO act as unit In support
of Secretary Taft.
ALL MISSOURI CONTESTS ARE

Rheumatism causes more pain

has become permanent, while In old

Devilgrams from the story. of the
''Devil."
He who spurns the good things of
life has not lived.
There is only one true woman-the
other fellows wife.
Here's the key to life-love yourself.
David Belasco's production of "The
Devil" is still receiving the. unabiate
interest of theatregoers in New York,
and the road companies have been
playing to'crowded houses in all the
large cities OF the country.
The effect of the play is not alto.
gether pleasant, it is almost too brutal
realization of the wish to ''see our.
sells as ithers see u.s." and human ma.
ture has many impulses aud weak.
nesses that will not stand analysis,
The play has been the talk of the
country for the past year, and the
subject of critical comment on the
part of theatrical writer's, but large
portion OF the theatregoing public is
still waiting eagerly for an opportun'
ity to form their own opinion of this
unusual and fascinating production.
The rights to the authorized version
of this play have been secured by Mr.
Ernest Fisher, and it will be produced
by his able company at the Opers
House on Saturday of this week.

who was proceeding to tell the jury
that he had "knowed the path for sixty

"Stop!" said the judge; I'VE can't
have any hearsay evidence here!"
"Not!" exclaimed Farmer Giles.
'Then how dost know who thy feyther
was 'cept by hearsay?"
After the laughter had subsided the
Judge said: "In courts Of law we can
only be guided by what you have seen
with your own eyes, and nothing more
or less"

piled the father. 81 ha' got bile on

HOW 10 MIX Il.
Directions 10 Prepare a SimpIc
Home Mixture
THE DOSE TO TAKE.

A welLknown authority on Rheu-
matism gives the following valuable,
though simple and harmless. prescrip-
ton, which any one can easily pre-
pare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking wellin bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal
and at bed time.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtainad from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and. be-
ing vegetable extraction, are harmless
to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies
patent medicines, etc., some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores OF this
neighborhood elicits the information
| that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers if asked to.

PLATED TIN SPOONS.

Somewhat Elaborate Processes In
.voIved in Producing Simple utensii.
Here is one way of making spoons.
the process described being used In
the manufacture of one variety of tin
plated spoons.
In its original form the material
from which these spoons are made
comes in long, thin strips of steel
rolled to a uniform thickness. The
strips are twelve or fifteen feet in
length and of a width sufficient for
the length of the spoon to be made.
These strips are fed into cutting
machine which cuts off pieces each OF
sufficient size for making a spoon,
these being simply so many small, fiat
pieces of sheet steer.
Then these blanks are put through
a grader, machine with powerful
rolls which so works the metal as to
make it thinner in those parts of the
blank that are to form the bowl and
the handle of the spoon and thicker
in the middle of the length of the
blank, from which the shank OF
the spoon will be made, so that it will
be the better able to bear the bend
in gstrain that will be put upon the
spoon in use.
From the graders the blank goes In
to drop press, which cuts 1t into
the outline form of spoon, though
from this press it comes out still fiat.
Then in another press the bowl OF
the spoon is formed, and then in still
another the handle, and 80 at last you
have the spoon in its complete spoon
shape. in steel, ready now to be tin
plated by dipping it in molten tin.
