Many cases ol typhoid (ever, appendicitis and other severe dis rates are trace able to prolonged clogging ol the bowels. Regard the effects of constipation, C. K. Ayrrs, 6 Sabin St., Montpelicr, Vt, says: "I waa afflicted wllh consllpstlun and biliousness for ysara, uoij at tlmos bmmi so bad 1 would bncoins unconsrlous.

Thousands of people are sufferer from habitual comtipation and while possibly realizing something of the danger of this condition, yet neglect too long to employ proper curative measures until serious ill ness often results.

Pi HILLSIDE TORN OUT BY BLAST 1,000 YARDS OF ROCK CUT AWAY BY TON AND A HALF OF HIGH EXPLOSIVE MUCH PAVING MATERIAL SECURED Oregon Engineering & Construction Company Get 8upply for Over Three Mile of Street Surfacing Work Sixteen liiouxand yard, of rock, suf ficient when crushed to pave over three mile of streets, was hurled from the surface of the bluff at Fair view late Wednesday afternoon by a blast set off by tue Oregon Engineer ing & Construction tompany. Prep aration for thl. blast have bean go ing one for tha past month, and the success of the blast proves that ev erything had bean calculated to a 1 nicety. A ton and a half of black, powder waa used to send tile rock Hurtling down to tho yards of the company ba low the bluff, the explosive being set off by an Intricate wiring system, bo tjint all the shots would go off at once. Wacn tin Ijokb powderman preaaed the button there was a slight tremor of the earth, and then the whole face of the cliff bellied outward 1 and collapsing on Itself crashed down to the bottom In a cloud of duat. Above the debris a great plume of greyiah smoke rose and slowly float ed off In the evening sky. The mass of jumbled boulders wili be cleared away netr the crusher first and the ponderous machinery will be started Thursday noon grind ing up tha huge fragment Into street surfacing. Enough reck baa bean brought down to pavw 60 blocks 01 full-width Btreet according to Oregon City specifications, which call for a center depth of nine Inches. This rock will be cn'.jhed near the base or tue bluff, and will be stacked In bins to await call. The blast was set off from interior galleries cut fifty feet back from the face of the blutf. In order to form these a tunnel was driven straight In &0 feet, and then "T cutting" was re sorted to at the head, 15 feet of gal lery being drilled one way, and 3o feet tne o(her way. From this lateral gallery, which ran parallel with the face of the cliff, powder bole were drilled ud an down, charged, wired and sealed, and then the electrical connectiona were carried out to a safe point in front of the bluff. Charles Parker and Jack Moffatt, of the Oregon Engineering It Conatruc Hon company, supervised the blast. and ducked behind a shelter Just a. the plunger in the battery box was Dressed down. A rain of derbls flew over and around them, but nobody waa hit by the flying miasllea. A similar blast at the o,uarry, about a year ago, brough down 15,000 yards of rock, part of which fell on the crusher, putting It out of gear for some days. IS ESTABLISHED What la believed to be a horticul tural record has been established by D. McArthur, of New Era, who re ports to Secretary Freytag of the Commercial club that he has some seedling walnut trees, seven years old, that are bearing clu.'ers of four, five and six nut.. The average clus ter of walnuts seldom exceeds 2, and seedlings hardly ever bear until they have attained an age of 20 years. Mr. McArthur promises to seed some of the clusters from his trees to the Commercial club, and they will be placed on exhibition as a rnrther ex ample of the fertility of Clackamas county soil. The tress are of the Franquette variety, and nave grown rapidly. The nuts that they ar now bearing .eem to be normal In every way. are of good size, and are ae- veloplng excellently. Other growers of walnuts In the county are watching the development of Mr. McArthur's trees with Interest, and are trying to learn If there is any special soil formation on his ranch that is conducive to eany Dearing. Mr. McArthur says that he has taken no extra care of his seedlings, nor did he select the stock with unusual care. SQUAB RANCH IDEA MEETS OPPOSITION Efforts of parties from San Diego California, to secure ground Immedi ately adjacent to the city reservoir situ for a ranch on which they pro- noae to raise squab, ducks and geese, are stirring residents of the neighbor hood to protest. ThJ caurornians hve concluded that the climate of Oregon City la particularly suited to their aims, and have rouno: tne vacant land they desire near the reservoir site. Negotiations, it la said, are un der way for Its purchase. Residents living ntarby naturally object to a poulary farm In their local ity, but aaide from this point out th.it such an establishment near the city reservoir soon to be constructed would be llabla to furnish a source of contamination for fha drinking wa ter. No definite action to defeat the alms of the Callfornians has yet been taken, but it is said that in the near future formal protest aKalnst the plan will be made. Efforts havo been made to Interest local canital In the scheme, but so far the promoters are leported to have had but poor sucesj. uregon uy men doubt tho profits to ba attained, and also believe that a more rural lo cation would be be'.ter ror tna poui try farm than the one proposed.

Oregon Commission Co. llth and Malu Sts., Oregon City E Trying to keep cool nearly proved fatal for Frank Estalia, of Oswego Sunday. He went swimming in Os wego Lake, was taken with cramps, and sank from sight in full view of some friends of his who stood on shore, too panic stricken to move. Marcus Cohn, of Portland. and Charles Williams, of Oswego happen ed on the scene at that stage of the game, and seeing what the trouble was, set about a rescue. Williams plunged in to the water, and after soma slight search recover ed the drowning man and brough him to the surface, holding him aifot un til Cohn arrived to assist. The two men then brought the third ashore, and after an hour's work restored htm to consciousness. Throughout the entire time Estal la's friends made no effort to assist In the resue work in any way, and af ter they saw Ufa beginning to return to his form, quietly vent away. Estalia is employed as a gardener at an Oswego convent, and is about 30 years of age. BATHER GETS COOL BUT LOSES WATCH Karl Gostavranich felt more than ordinarily warm Friday afternoon and went bathing In tbe Willamette, pick ing a secluded and sandy beach on the west side of the river for his abolutlons. Divesting himself of his clothes be laid them neatly in a pile on the shore, and aulred as Adam used to dress he waded into the cool waters of the river. Four men, at present unknown to the county authorities, observed Gos tavranich, disporting hijnaelf as a river-god. and decided it would- be a good time to replenish their empty pockets. So while the bather was en joying life they descended upon his clothes, and removed therefrom a per fectly good and valuable gold watch and some money. Gostavranich, refreshed, left the river just In time to see the quartet slipping quietly into the bordering willows. When he found his clothes disturbed he made a hasty inventory of his effects. Dressing as quickly as the wet condition of his body would allow, he hastened to a telephone and notified the sheriff's office, and Sher iff Maas and deputies left at once for the scene. Other than footprints they found no traces of the thieves, nor of the bather's belongings. Colorado Stockmen Meet GLEN WOOD SPRINGS, Colo., July 17.

After it was seen that he was doomed, the men worked just as hard to recover his body, which waa finally found a considerable distance down stream from the point where he went under. Gray Is survived by a father and mother, and there are a number of other children in the family. BOY SHOOTS SELF G'en Bird, 15 years of age, the son of Wm. H.
