THE CENTENNIAL AT ASTORIA.

It is fitting that Oregon should set the pace in celebrations
in all other things.
It is the Oregon system, and the Oregon habit.
Time immenoral all have honored their heroes and
celebrated important events but those heroes almost uni
versay warriors and the events the conquerng and pagng
of some other nation.
Oregon set the example but few when at Port
land pnddy paid honor to Lewis and Clarke and the
brave little company that conquered an unknown country
faced dangers and achieved the founding of empire
not through death and blood uerg but under the broad
white banner of Peace.
Again today at Astoria she celebrates the completing of that
conquest honor her adopted who so honored
her; the good old fur trader John Jacob AsOr.
It was due to Thomas jefferson that the trail was bazed
across the continent John Jacob Asor who planted
the colony at Astoria doing oaed the American flag
over the empire of the Northwest.
And it is indeed empire both in extent and wealth.
The territory brought the flag by the occupancy due
to him. comprised what is the states of Oregon Wash
ingon and Idaho with an area of 2560OO square miles, to
which should be added slice from Montana and an
other from Wyoming which would bring the total about
100000 square miles.
When it remembered that the of the entire thirteen
original states is only 100000 square miles, the importance of
the acquisition be readily realized.
That this vast brought under the American flag
without the shedding American blood the spending of pub
lie money marks is of the grandes achievements of
Peace in the history Of the world

A prominent hop dealer Of South

"Why, Lachmund and the boys. "
"The whole bunch was just in
here" replied the merchant, with a
pleasant smile.
The hop man had misread the

clerk was getting further away all
the time. The name of "Lachmund"
sounded familiar. The clerk had
heard that name before. No, the gal
liant form of Salem's mayor had not
darkened the doorway of that estab-
lishment that day.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale. Then it would break out
again and it spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
it kept spreading until it was on his
hands and arms. l bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had it about six months when a
friend told me about Cuticura. l sent
and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
a cake of Cuticura Soap and box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles of ResoIvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes of
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since

never known them to fail to cure what
