of the merchants having large shops.
There is one dear old turhaned sheik
who has a cell in the candy bazaar,
where you can buy nuts and fruits
fit for the queen OF the fairies. His
sugared almonds are the joy Of the

The Louise Market.
There is one Damascus bazaar in

the Louise market, and YOU may know

just back Of the citadel and not far
from Straight street. 1t is filled with
customers and dealers from morning
until evening, and a~uctioneers walk

shops are near the gate Of the Great

kinds. There is one kind of saIad
which the men cry out is SO enGer

Some such wares are bought by the
charitable and given to ~beggars. This
is SO of the bread and meat and also

merit and thus ave their road to the

Fat-Tailed Mutton.
Making our way through the
crowds We reach Il region OF cook
shops, restaurants and cafes not far
from where the butcher shops are.
The latter sell most kinds Of meat, in
Guiding camel. beef, mutton and lamb.
The mutton is fine. The sheep are
of the fat-tailed variety, and when
skinned and dressed for the market
their tails are left. They hang
dow owe their backs in great lumps
of fat, looking like Il loaf of fresh
dough ready for baking. Sometimes
they have he form Of a heart four
or five nch thick and eight inches
wide. Such a tail will weigh fifteen
pounds. Upon a live sheep it hangs
down at the rear like a woolly apron.

ne Grain Bazaar.
Another interesting part of business
Damascus is composed Of long streets
OF caVe-like vaults floored with ce-
ment and divided up into compart~
ments piled high With grain, beans or
flour. This is the grain bazaar. One
of the compartments may hold a hun
dred bushels of wheat and :rOthar Il
quantity Of barley. oats or len
ills. There are bins fiIled with IN
dian corn and bins Of caraway seeds.
The grain lies On he floor and is
scooped up and measured to order.
Camels come in bringing great bags
OF wheat and sc out carrying other
grains to various parts Of the city.
The country about Damascus, which
can be irrigated. is exceedingly rich
and it produces large crops. A great
deal of grain is brought from the
plains beyond the Jordan and on the
east OF the Sea Of Gal.lee, known as
me iiauIah' ana this grain is shipped
from Damascus to other parts OF
Syria and across the Mediterranean 70
Europe.
The Wholesale Establishments.
Indeed. the trade of Damascus ;s
extensive. The city makes wares of

Skinner Makes Good.

Miss Cameron, who has just returned
from the Chicago apple show, tells Of
the embarrassing prcdicament in which
Mr.. Skinner, as superintendent for
Hood River, found himself. They
were both severely cross-exmamined
by visitors as to the merits of their
apples and respective districts, and the
limit was reached when some gentle
men selected three apples from the
Hood River, Wenatchca and Yakima
exhibits, invited Skinner out and told
him to pick from the three his much
vaunted Hood River apple. Feeling as
if as much were at stake as when
Bassanio stood before the casket,
Skinner hesitated, but WAS forced to
the test He sized them mp and ate of
each, then unhesitatingIy selected one
as the Hood River apple, The seIec-
tion was true, and once more the Hood
River apple was a winner. White Sal

WOIfard Sells Out

c. M. Wolfard & Co. have sCld their
mercantile business to G. w. Hunter,
of Chicago, the deal taking place on
Saturday, since which time the store
has been closed on account of taking
inventory. Mr.. Wolfard began bust
ness in White Salmon in a small way,
crossing over from Hood River, where
he Was i'm lUircss, and opening up
with srail stock. 1t continued to
grow and became the largest general
store in town. X, Field was associ-
ated with Mr.. WOlCard in the business.
A large brick building was erected,
which is retained by the Company.
Mr.. Wolfard will not leave White Sal
mon, for he has just put up, and moved
into, a neat bungalow, and has enough
collections to keep him busy for the
next ten years more or less.
Mr.. Hunter has been in the mercan-
tile business for over twenty years, re.
Gently selling out and coming West.
He has prospected all the northwestern
states, was favorabIy struck with many
sections, but finally settled on White
Salmon as a town Of good promise.

Greater Hood River"

"The thing for us to do is to have
one general Union for this apple sec
tion of Hood River, Mosier Under
wood, Lyle and White Salmon, but
Hood River would not consent to lose
its identity through the adoption Of
such-a name as 'Mid-CoumDia River
Union, preferring some name like
Greater Hood River - said G. r.
Griesen. the associate editor of Better
fruit, when in White Salmon recently.
The gentleman is dead right as to the
necessity of a Union, and there would
probably be no serious objection to the
name "Hood River. 1t is a name
that stands for quality more than
geography, and were the other unions
to join under the name Of Greater
Hood River" it would in a sense be
like hitching our wagon to a star.

The football fans had an opportunity
Monday afternoon Of witnessing one Of
the hardest fought scraps that the

teams have yet played. Several long
gains were made by forward passes,
yet neither team was able to score and
the principal part Of the game was
played near the center of the field,

Sherrieb were Hood Rivers star play
ers. Hartman was one of the main
stays Of the opposing team despite

Money on the Male

Discussing the present political out
look in a story in the Paclht Monthly,
John f. Lathrop makes the following
interesting observation with reference
to the present attitude OF wall street
toward the democratic party
1T is possible today to write plainly
that the financial interests conferred IN
Wall street have turned to the demo
cratic party and hope to capture it for
the 1912 campaign. The money OF
the interests has been poured in the
late elections to elect democratic can
didates in the East. None who boasts
even moderate information now ques-
tions the accuracy OF that assertion.

Sinking Spells
Every Few Days

AT the time / began taking
DR.. Miles Heart Remedy / was
having sinking spells every few
days. My hands and feet would
get cold; l could scarcely
breathe, and could feel myself
gradually sinking away until l
would be unconscious. Those
about me could not tell there
was life in me-. After these
spells'I l would be very weak and
nervous, sleepless and without
appetite; had neuralgia in my
head and heart. After taking
the remedy a short time all this
disappeared and in a few weeks
all the heart trouble was gone"

1t is the combined action of the
curative elements of the Gods livers
aided by the blood making and
strength creating properties of tonic

makes it SO successful in curing
stubborn colds and bronchitis.
VINOL is a constitutional rem
