killed the entire skin of such ami
NAL, which skin must include all

The Great Sells-Floto Shows.

Tuesday was circus day in Grants
Pass and the town was full OF people
from the country and surrounding
towns. The merchants all did a
rushing business on that day and no
one has any complaint to make. The
parade at II o'clock was one of the
best seen here for some time, there
being great many fine horses in
the procession as well as many other
attractions. The performances in
the afternoon and evening at the big
tent were good and the circus man
ayers certainly deserve the credit of
running a big show and clean per-
formances. They took away with
them, besides the best wishes of the
people, goodly sum of money con-
tributed from all parts of the county.

Elnes for TilIamook BootIeggers.

Judge Galloway fined Vincenz
Jacob $500 and 20 days in the Tilla-
nook county Jail; w. Langworthy
$500 and 80 days in Jail; and How
ard Edmunds, $500 and 20 days in
jail, for violating the local option
law In the case of Howard Ed
munds, Judge Galloway made the
sentence heavy because he had been
up before the courts and the Judge
several times for gambling. The
Judge remitted the Jail sentences
during good behavior.
AS a number of witnesses are al
legged to have perjured themselves
on the witness stand during local
option cases in this county, it is ex-
pected that the Judge will advise
the District Attorney to prosecute
them. The case against Howard Ed
munds is to be appealed to the
Supreme Court, and his bail was
placed at $1,000. Jacob has paid his
fine and Langworthy has gone to

A Disease-Spreading Locust.

There Is kind Of locust which ap-
pears every seventh year, so the
wise men who keep track Of such
things, tell us, Then there are others
who claim that yisitations of all sorts
of disasters come regularly in cycles.
The last announcement is made by
Commissioner Darlington, of the
Health Department of New York
city, who says that smallpox Is a re-
current disease, appearing every
seventh year and 1t Is due this year.
The health department, he claims,
expect to yaccIuate 100000 persons
this spring. The municipality of
New York has made many inyesti-
cations and has accomplished numer-
GUS important results. The stamp

To the Editor: enclose you

itself to the inquiring mind is this.

fers to Is as follows:
"Palisade gained a worldwide re-
putation about year ago when
Kansas farmer came here and paid
$4,000 per acre for some Of its fruit
land. Another deal was made on
Thursday Of this week by which a
resident of Palisade, who has lived
here for five years, paid nearly
.$4100 per acre, or S13,500 for a
tract of three and one-third 6 1-9)
acres. The buyer was Ira Crisswell
and the seller, Olof Nelson, pur-
chased seven acres of land from r.
H. Bancroft, for which he paid
$1,000. He was the first man in this
district to pay $1,000 per acre, and
at that time was told by his friends
that he had paid entirely too much,
He Is now the first man in the coun-
try to sell this land for nearly $4100
per acre. Nr. Nelson had previously
disposed Of the balance of the seven
acres, so that the whole tract
brought him $21,460 on his original
investment of $1,000. Mr.. Bancroft
bought the tract IA years ago, when
1t was raw land, for $50 per acre
and put on most Of the improve
ments. In selling to Mr.. Nelson for
$1,000 per acre he made a good
profit.
The Improvements on the ground
are valued at about $4,000, which is
considerably less than those on the
Crissey tract which sold for $4,000
per acre The trees are from 2 to
IA years old and the orchard has
always been good producer.-Palis-

PRETTY WOMEN NOT WANTED
Up-to-Date Business Men Prefer the
Palmer Sort to Work In Their
Offices.

A man advertised the other day, I'M

for stenographer. He got more than
300 answers and they all came in per-

dress. His outer Office was crowded
and a line extended down the hall.
There were girls with hats a yard
wide, girls with superabundant puffs
and punches of curls. tall girls and
short, pretty and plain. Some were
elegantly dressed and wore diamonds;
few were modestly and neatly
CARRIED and looked businesslike. The
man finally picked one of this latter
class who was rather comely and had
a clear, pleasant eye. He did not ask
her to prove her ability, but pointed
out her place and set her to work.
He is the employer of hundreds of
clerks and he selects his help uner-
ringly on the basis of their general
appearance. His theory is that that
is the best index to their ability. He
says that he has found that the girls
with the big coiffures, finely mani
cured hands, and all that, are apt to
spend 25 per cent. of their time steal
ing admiring chances at themselves,
fixing their hair and primping up gen.
orally with the aid of little hand

things they are sizing up the garni-
ture of all the other women within
sight. In business Office. therefore,
