CELEBRATIONS
IN The
FOOTHILLS

The celebrations at Stayton and
Falls City were attended by large
throngs of Capital City people. The
programs were carried out with
great success and gave the best of
satisfaction.
Attacked Special Privileges.
Col. Hofer at Stayton paid his
compliments to privileges and at
tackled the dangerous tendencies of
the age to subvert American liberty
from the standpoint of tho growing
tendency to aristocracy. He said
the country was full of people who
were willing some kind of bastard
might win titles and distinctions
and restore the rule of privileged
classes backed by great wealth. But
he said the aristocracy of wealth
could be dealt with under cur sys-
tenn of government and would fall
to pieces under the impact Of free
institutions. The press, the
school, the lodge, the home ind the
church were the means of raising
higher standards of Intelligence
among the masses and they would
deal fairly with all problems that
arose. The aristocracy thar sought
to rob the people of power under
the guise of being better qualified TO
manage their politics than the peo-
pie themselves were, was the great
est menace, 1t overawed the legis-
lature, dictated its Own terms of
employment and now sought to take
out of the hands of the people the
right to nominate and elect candi-
dates themselves, leaving the people
only the empty shell of political
power with the privilege of paying
the bills of an extravagant and cor
rupt legislature. No self-respecting
American citizen could join hands
with this movement to enslave the
people and make the tax-eaters the
slave-drivers Of the taxpayers He
advocated the railroad amendment
to the constitution.

The Carnival of Healing the Sick

When Fer-Don and his medicai
experts first came to Albany his in
tention was to remain here until

him to remain longer, and the phe-
nomenal success of his experts in
curing the very patients that othe!
physicians failed on, compels the
great Fer-Don to remain until Sat

great joy at the Office last night
when Fer-Don announced that he

FRUIT LAND

Oregon has never experienced
such an era of progressiveness as
that through which she is now pass
ing. And there is every reason to
believe that this prosperity will
keep up. This whole Oregon coun-
try is only in it's infancy. The man
who gets hold of a piece of acreage
in one of the choice sections of the
state is sure to make money from
his investment There is no better
portion of Oregon than exists around
Salem. And the best part of Salem
is that part lying just east town
The old Savage farm, long known as
the model farm of the county, has
recently been subdivided and is now
being sold off in five and ten7acre
tracts and is being rapidly improved
with homes and orchards.
After looking over numerous prop
critics, the Salem Apple Orchard
company selected this spot as the
most desirable to be found near Sa-
lem for orchard purposes, and they
have already set out is acres of a
model orchard.
Numerous others are doing like7
wise, and before long the entire
tract will be covered with finely ims
proved orchards and berry patches.
This subdivision is known as Hol-
lywoOd, and the prices and terms
are within the reach of all. Only
$175. per acre and up.

that they were of no use to her. She
was dragged along, but now what a

The time is now to take advantage
of these liberal terms. Health is
valuable, and if you are ailing or
know of one who is, send them to
Fer-Don before July 10.
Consultation Fee Necessary.
AS the crowds are so large at the
office, a fee of 81 is required from
everyone for a consultation and ex-
animation with the European ex-
perts. This is simply to keep out
the idly curious, who want their for
tunes told or some other "hocus-po-
Gus" that would thereby keep honest
sincere people, anxious about their
health, from consulting with these
learned men in medicine and blood
less surgery. Offices at Hotel Ell

The Curtain Falls

Over the wound of the angry word.
Over the deeds in weakness done.
Over the battles lost and won.

Year that tomorrow will not be here.
Over our freedom. over our thralls,

Over our gain and over our loss.
Over our crown and over our cross.
Over the fret OF our discomfort.
Over the Ill that We never meant.
Over the scars OF our self-deniaI,
Over the strength thar conquered trial.
Now In the end OF the flying year.

Silently downward the curtain falls.
