cause he believed a single family home,

principal speaker. He Endorsed all the
things DR.. woodward had said about
apartments in introducing him, and
continued:
'Decadence of nations has been largely
due to types OF homes. Rome's popula-
ton was huddled together In its latter
days In worse tenements than any you
can find in New York
Apartment life destroys family unity

Life Insured for 500, 900,

The largest single life insurance
policy ever written for a Pendleton
resident was written during the week
upon the life of Robert N. Stanfield
sheepman, for 100000.
With the policy already carried by
him this new policy brings the
amount of insurance on his life to
100000. Mr.. Stanfield has exten-
sive interests all over the northwest
in sheep and land and the insurance
upon his life he considers an insur-
ance upon his business in case of
death. For this insurance he must
pay annually in premiums something
between $4,000 and $6O0O.-Pendle-
ton E. 0.

instance from Pendleton is given
here, and will be read by us with
great interest.

was troubled more or less all my life
by weakness of my kidneys. My
hands and feet and sometimes my
whole body swelled. A steady pain
in the small of my back and sides
annoyed me and it was hard to
straighten after STOPPING. When l
did stoop, sharp twinges shot
through my back and sides. Dizzy
spells and headaches were common
and l couldn't rest well. In the
morning l felt all tired out. l tried
many medicines and spent great
deal of money for doctoring, but got
no relief. Doan's Kidney Pills cured
the aches and pains in my back and
regulated the action of my kidneys. :"

FOREST NOTES.

| It does not seem to be generally
known that the term Forest Re-
serves" is no longer legal or official
This name, was changed, by Act oil
Congress March 4, 1907, to Nation
al Forests" to indicate that these re-
sources were not locked up as re-
serves for the distant future, but
were to be administered for the
greatest good of the greatest number
now.
The first allotment of national
forest money made to Oregon and
Washington in 1906, after the pas
sage of the Act which gave the states
a share of the national forest rev.
enue, was $7,565 for Oregon and
$1,823 for Washington. In 1915,
Oregon's share of this revenue was
$49,675, and Washington was $37,-
AS. The constantly increasing de-
mand for national forest timber as
sures much higher rate Of increase
in the next few years, and ultimately
the States will receive large rev.
enue from this source
Of the approximately 100000
acres Of school land within the ma
tional forests of Washington, $780,
900 acres have thus far been cruised
as preliminary step in the exchange
of these lands for solid block of
national forest land of equal area
and equal value. Upon the compile
tion of the cruise of the school lands,
it will then be necessary to cruise an
equal area of land to give to the
State in exchange for the school
lands. The cruising work is being
done under cooperative agreement
between the federal govrnment and
the State of Washington.
