RAIN MUCH BENEFIT TO
WHEAT IN EAST END.
proHixvU for lut Excellent Strawberry
Crop on the Mountain Large
Quantities of Potatoes Have Been
Shipped of Late New Bank Cotiti
ier lias Located Here for Good.
Weston, June 4. The rain of ye
terday has done wonders for the
fro wing crops in the east end of the
county. Wheat was looking good, but
a good rain will help it greatly. The
fields are now colored a fine dark
green, and the farmers now look for
ward to first class result. The fruit
crop in the mountain dstrict also
looks very encouraging. A good
strawberry crop Is being looked for
ward to, and as they come in later
than the berries In the Milton coun
try they will be in great demand.
There are no finer berries any
where than those raised in the moun
tain district above here.
Many Potatoes Out.
The mountain potatoes that were
contracted for by Seattle buyers have
about ail been shipped out, over 20
car loads in all went out from Athe
na loaded with Weston mountain po
tatoes. They were in great demand
this spring, and they will be grown on
a larger scale in the future as the
growers have found these potatoes
can be secured for the late market
Some of the Weston people are at
Milton today for the celebration of
strawberry day at that place.
I. M. Kemp the new cashier of the
Farmers' bank of Weston has moved
here from Athena, and his family
will be residents of Weston In the fu
ture. B. B. Hall has made arrange
ments to leave for Spokane shortly.
Mr. and Mrs. Earl Reynolds have
gone to Connell, Wash., where they
will locate on a farm.
Mr. and Mrs. George W. Proebstel
have gone to Portland where they will
remain for some days.
Dr, C. M. Williams has arrived here i
from Walla Walla for the practice
of dentistry In Weston.
John A. Read has purchased the
Weston bakery from Ben DuPuls,
and he will hereafter be in charge
thereof.
A. Furnham, formerly In the gro
cery business at Pendleton has pur
chased the DuPuls grocery at this
place, and he will take possession
thereof In a very few days.
Henry La Brache has gone to
Grangeville, Idaho, where he will
pitch for the baseball team at that
place this season.
Professor Arant who has had
charge of the training department
at the nomral for the past year has
' gone to Monmouth to spend the summer.
Many Combined Harvesters.
Eighteen combined harvesters are
now being shipped from the factory
and are to be delivered at the various
stations In this county on the O. R. &
X. road and It Is safe to predict that
as many more machines will be order
ed befor harvest begins, says the Day
ton correspondent of the Walla Walla
Union. Such an Increase in harvest
ing machines means a shorter harvest
than ever before, and It also means
the saving of many bushels of grain
that would otherwise be lost by the
fall rains and winds. The fact that
such a large number of farmers are
able to Install these machines goes to
show that Columbia county Is getting
more wealthy and prosperous every
year.
At the present rate of increase In
wealth It will not be many years be
fore every farmer In Columbia county
will be able to harvest his own grain.
From the number of combined har
vesters being shipped to this county It
Is evident that the farmers are doing
away with the old steam outfits for
the combined.
The Glass Snake.
The slowworm Is tbe snake which
country people tell you has the peculiar
property of breaking Itself Into bits,
each piece afterward surviving. The
truth differs slightly from the legend.
The slowworm Is a timid creature and
when first captured tightens all Its
muscles, thus reducing Itself to a re
markably rigid state. In which condi
tion it will no doubt snap like a dry
twig; but, needless to say, only the
tipper and vital portions survive the
ordeal. London Globe.

BOATS FROM CONCRETE.
New
W. R. Ward of Dyersburg, Tenn.,
writes: "This is to certify that I have
used Foley's Orlno Laxative for
chronic constipation and It has proven
without a doubt to be a thorough,
practical remedy for this trouble, and
it it with pleasure I offer my con
scientious reference." Pendletqn Drug

Italy Will be Forced to Use
Building Materia,
An Italian correspondent of the
London Times predicts that the use
of concrete in boat building will
largely take the place of Iron and
steel. He says:
Large boats of re-enforced con
crete have been built already In this
country, and five of these, of 120 tons
and more, were on commission for the
Italian navy. The first of these boats,
a 120-ton barge, was built In 1906,
on the plans of Mr. Gabelllnl, an Ital
ian who has given his whole atten
tion to reenforeed concrete and who
for many years has been conducting
experiments with this class of mate
rial. This boat, which was built with
double bottom and of the cellular type
was submitted to severe tests In the
Spezia arsenal, where a much larger
boat built of Iron and with nn Iron
ram was directed -against It without
producing any considerable damage
to it. After some time, and In con
sequence of the satisfactory results
given by this first boat, four more of
these barges were ordered on accoun
of the Italian navy.
It Is my opinion that owing to the
unfavorable conditions of Italy as an
Iron-producing country the problem
of reenforeed concrete for ships will
meet with a good deal of attention
here, and that experiments and trials
on a much larger and more Import
ant scale will shortly be conducted.
TO REDUCE TARIFF
ON BEEF CATTLE,
Mrs. S. L. Bowen of Wayne, W. Va.,
writes: "I was a sufferer from kid
ney dsease, so that at times I could
not stand straight. I took Foley's
Kidney Remedy. One dollar bottle
and part of the second cured me en
tirely." Foley's Kidney Remedy
works wonders where others are a
total failure. Pendleton DruK Co.
North Dakota Veterans.
Valley City, N. D.. June 4. Grand
Army of the Republic, North Dakota
division, began its annual encamp
ment here today. A large number of
veterans are In the city and the re
union promises to be the largest in the
history of the state.
Yon Should Know This.
Foley's Kidney Remedy will cure
any case of kidney and bladder trou
ble that Is not beyond the reach of
medicine. No medicine can do more.

Texas Cattlemen Would Ship to Cuba
Without a Prohibitive Tariff.
Plans will be made to bring abou
a reduction of the tariff on cattle
shipped from the United States to
Cuba at the meeting of the executive
committee of th,p Cattle Raisers' As
sociation of Texas.
Under the existing conditions the
Cuban government Imposes such a
heavy tariff on cattle from the United
States as to prohibit practically any
shipments from this country to the
Island. Under this tariff shippers In
the United States cannot hope to com
pete with shippers from other marH
kets to the markets of Cuba. The
tariff imposed on cattle from the
United States Is discriminating against
the shippers In this country as regards
cattle shippers In Mexico and South
America.
Robert E. Gorce, of Houston, a man
well versed on the subject of the .Cu
ban tariff, who has been to Cuba es
peclally for the purpose of Investi
gating the conditions and the sltua
Hon, will appear before the executive
committee and give the committee
the full benefit of the knowledge that
he has gained.
At this meeting it Is very probable
that the committee will determine
what position it will take in the mat
ter an l what course It will pursue In
regard to this tariff question. The
committee will decide whether or not
It will take any steps In behalf of the
association to better the conditions
and abate the difficulties under which
the United States shippers are labor
ing. Another matter to be brought be
fore the committee Is the rate case, in
which the association has secured an
order from the interstate commerce
commissioner reducing the rates on
cattle shipments 3 cents per hundred,
equal to something like $5 to $7 a
car. with this order the commission
held that the shippers had the right
to recover the overcharges that had
been paid on shipments for two years
back.
NET PROFITS

KEN you advertise you expect to get, something
out ot it more than you put in it; if you
don't, it's n losing game and losing money
is poor policy.
But it's not how much an ad costs it's how much
profit it brings you.
Net profit that's the main thing.
ADVERTISING is not a magic art. All it is, is
putting into print effective selling arguments a good
salesman would use orally. Write those arguments in an
attractive style bring out the merits of a proposition so
that the other fellow feels an instinctive desire to possess
it tell him why he should buy it and then finally satisfy
him that the price is right.
To get the best results, cater to the largest number you
can reach among those who make good wages and live well
people who can afford to buy what you have to sell.
The East Oregonian's readers are composed of that class
who willingly pay 65 cents a month for it in preference to
buying the cheaper papers. Net result they are people
who can afford to buy what you have to sell.
They are not penurious.
They are not paupers.
Mrs. S. Joyce, Claremont, N. H.,
writes: "About a year ago I bought
two bottles of Foley's Kidney Rem
edy. It cured one of a severe case of
kidney trouble of several years'
standing. It certainly Is a grand,
good medicne, and I heartily recom
mend it" Pendleton Drug Co.
