AIDS SOUTHERN PACIFIC Grants Paes-Asbland Main H.lne Stretch to Be Greatly Benefited as Will Be Springfield and Vm a til la Branches. An improved passenger service on the Bouthern Pacific will" be provided by the Harrlman system next Monday throngl the Installation of two motor railway cars. One of these cars will be operated on the main line of the Southern Pa cific between Grants Pass and Ash land. The other will serve the people on the Springfield branch between Al bany and Springfield. The third car of -this type will be placed In opera tion during the next tend days between Umartilla and Pendleton. The Grants Pass-Ashland and the Albany-Springfield services with these cars will be gin next Monday. On the Springfield branch the motor car will leave Albany dally. Including Sunday, at 7.-30 A. M. and arrive at Springfield at 10 A. M. Returning, it will leave Springfield at 1:S0 P. M., ar riving In Albany at 4 P. M. The other motor will leave Grants Pass ' dally, also including Sunday, at 7:30 A. M?, arriving at Ashland at 9:30 A. M. Returning, It will leave Ashland at 1:30 P. M-. arriving at Grants Pass at 3:30 P. M. Both of these cars will stop at all Intermediate point between the termi nals indicated and the service will be In addition to that already maintained by the company through the operation of Its steam trains. The Umatilla-Pendleton car will not go into service for probably a week later. It is intended to handle the increasing local passen ger business between thOBe cities, re sulting from the rapid settlement of that district, through the irrigation acr tlvities. While the schedule for this service has not been determined finally, the-motor probably will leave Umatilla dally at about 8 A. M.,' and returning leave Pendleton about 3 P. M. Each of these cars has a seating capacity of 75. The company now has ordered from the East two additional motor cars, the capacity of which will be 100 passengers. It has not been de cided on what part of the Harrlman system in the Pacific Northwest the two larger cars will be used. The Harrlman system some time ago in augurated a motor car service on its Washington division between Dayton. Wallula and Walla Walla. Reports are to the effect that it is . giving highly satisfactory service. NORTH BANK APTEK BUSINESS Dally local Freight Installed Be tween v ancouver ana uiiis. In order to handle the business which is offered, the Spokane, Portland & Se attle, beginning today, will inaugurate a daily local freight between Vancou ver and Cliffs. This service will be in addition to that already provided by the company's through fast freight, which handles the transcontinental business. The necessity for this local freight service is indisputable evidence' of the settlement . and development of the heretofore uninhabited and unproduct ive region through which the' North Bank runs between Vancouver and Cliffs. When this road was first built there was virtually no freight business upon which the company could depend for revenue. With the completion of the road and the attendant development of the country, sufficient business is now offered to justify the local freight service which has been ordered. TRAIN "WILIi RXTV TO SEASIDE Railroad Will Accommodate Those i Desiring to Spend Easter at Beal-h. Officials of the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad yesterday announced that for the accommodation of Portland peo ple desiring to spend the Easter season at the Coast, this company tomorrow night will run its regular Astoria train, leaving thia city at 0:30 P. M., through to Seaside. This is in addition to the company's Saturday night train which regularly runs through to the Coast. R. H. Jenkins, assistant general freight and passenger agent of this road, re ports that the indications are favorable for an early season at Seaside. Etven this early in the year, says Mr. Jenkins, there is unusual activity at this seaside resort, reached by the Astoria & Co lumbia River Railroad. Wreck Responsibility Placed. According to the report of the board of inquiry on the double wreck on the O. R. & N. near Pendleton Sunday morn ing, the derailment of "light" engine No. 215. resulting in the death of Engineer Risk and Fireman Hopple and causing damage of J2500 to the engine, was due to the "wild and reckless" speed main tained by Engineer Risk in rounding a sharpv curve. By the same board it was decided that the subsequent derailment of an extra freight train, causing dam ages aggregating J6500. was unavoidable, the freight having run into the wrecked engine, which had left the track in such a manner as to leave the block signals in working order and also to indicate "proceed" to all approaching trains. Easterners Buy Lane County Land. The announcement was made from the Harrlman offices yesterday that the A. C. Bohrnstedt Company, of Minneapolis, Minn., reoently concluded the purchase of 1500 acres of fruit lands in the Waldo Hills.

Charlton, assistant general pas senger agent for the Northern Pacific, left yesterday for Spokane, where today he will be joined by H. C. Nutt, general manager of the same system, with head quarters at Tacoma, and meet Howard Elliott, president of that railroad. - Mr. Elliott is on his way to the Pacific Coast from St. Paul and probably will visit Portland before returning. Among the other officials of the road accompanying Mr. Elliott Is Thomas Cooper, the com pany's land commissioner. Aside from reporting that Mr. Elliott is making a semi-annual trip of Inspection of the road of which he is the official head, local officials say they have not been made acquainted with the fact tha,t his visit at this time has any particular significance.

Portland & Seattle Railway, left yesterday for Spo kane, where they will meet George B. French, president of the North Bank road, who is returning from a business trip to St. Paul.

The woman and; the girls es caped, and the bull made for Mrs. Greene. She took to her heels and succeeded In getting behind a tree Just as the bull crashed into it. with his head. ' A chase around the tree followed. During the race Mrs. Greene had clung desperately to an umbrella, and used it to good advantage in warding off the animals attacks. Mrs. Greene screamed, and as she was not far from home her collie dog heard her, and-raced . up : the road to the rescue. Then Mrs. Greene attempted , to climb a fence, but fell off and broke her collar bone. In spite of the pain she made an other attempt, and succeeded in getting out of the bull's reach. In thS meantime her husband, who had retire, heard the commotion, picked up his shotgun and rushed after the fighting bull and dog. Dr. McChesney, of St. John, is attending Mrs. Greene, and believes that she is threatened with paralysis on account of the shock to her nerves.'

Her deposition, taken before a Notary Public of Monrovia, was filed yesterday. In It she describes her husband's conduct, which she says be came so bad that he was arrested and was about to be examined by an In sanity commission when one of his brothers Intervened, promising to care for him. The couple were married at Coving ton, Va., January 11, 1903, the bride being only 17 years old. - His cruelty dated from the time of the marriage, says Mrs. Thornton, threats to kill her being of frequent occurrence. It was on June 4, 1908, she says, that he came home after a drunken carousal last ing several days and told her he in tended to make an end of her. Greatly frightened, she fled from the house, and afterward went to her home at Lynch burg, Va. .

There, she continues,, her hus band appeared, hatless, and much the worse for liquor. She divided with him all the cash she had, $2, and soon after ward they. moved to Portland. In No-, vember of that year she was left penni less a second time, she says Jensen go ing to California. Six weeks later he, returned without a cent, and in August, 1906. commenced again to. drink heavily.- The climax came a few days ago. says Mrs. Jensen, when lie was arrest ed for drunkenness and disorderly con duct. v Jensen Is a decorator, and earns, ac cording to Mrs. Jensen, from $3 to $5 a day. They have four children. She asks $25 a month alimony. t ' Gross Dfunkennew Charged. : Josephine D. Brown has also brought a divorce suit in the Circuit Court, Mat thew L. Brown being the defendant.

He wants a divorce. They were married December 5, 1906. Rob erts says his wife told him frequently in the presence of friends that she had no affection for him. that she loved another man. She refused, he says, to attend to her household duties, leaving him to shift for himself and to care for the children in addition to doing his daily work. He asks the custody of one child, and is willing she should have the other. Daniel G. Hurton wants a divorce from Cora Hurton, complaining that she left him In February, 1907, without giving any reason for leaving, and has written but two letters to him since. He says these were postmarked Se attle, but that his wife gave no ad dress and he could not answer them. They were married May 10, 1888, and have three children now In his custody.

ANIMALS' HOOFS HARROW Supervisor Erlckson, of Crater Na . tlonal Forest, Reads Interesting Paper Before Forestry Men's Annual Meeting. The morning session yesterday of the forest supervisors' annual meeting, which la being held In the Commercial Club building, was devoted to the reading of a paper by Forest Supervisor M. L- Erlck son, of the Crater National forest, who dwelt on the method of marking timber for cutting and disposal of brush and refuse on timber sale areas. Supervisor -Erlckson recommended a plan for mapping all burned timber areas, open glades, prairies, blocks of merchant able timber and every physical forest composition. Grazing Is Beneficial. The question of reproduction on burned timber areas and on areas which had been logged off rerelved special atten tion In Mr. Erlckson's paper. It was brought out in the discussion which fol lowed that contrary to the generally ac cepted public opinion, grazing, particu larly in yellow pine forests, either by cat tle and horses or sheep, tended to aid the reproduction of the pine. Pine seeds to grow must reach the mineral soil and have sufficient moisture. The cultivation or harrowing of the ground by the hoofs of grazing animals furnishes the neces sary conditions for the germination of the seeds. - The afternoon sesoion was devoted to a paper on the Issuing of special use per mits on National forests, other than for power development purposes. It was read by G. F. Allen, of the Rainier" Na tional forept. - A paper on "Silvlcal Problems of Immediate Importance in the Northwest," read by T. T. Mun ger, of the Portland office of the Forest Service, was heard. Mr. Hunger called the attention of the supervisors to the importance of a proper understanding of the silvlcal features of forest land and its relation to the proper management of sales of National forest stumpage. He spoke also of the care to be taken in the h'andling of cutover lands, in order to guarantee a reproduction of the most desirable species. Mineral Soil Required. It Is commonly known that Douglas fir reproduces only In a mineral soil and that unless the slashings on logged-off areas are burned over, the possibilities are that Western hemlock or other in ferior species will repla.ce the original fir stand. In this connection he mentioned the fact that the question of burning slashings in,the'fog belt along the coast line through Oregon and Washington was one yet to be determined. However, since the timber in this belt consists most largely of spruce and hemlock, a satis factory reproduction might be obtained without the burning of slashings. Fire risk In the fog belt Is naturaly reduced to a minimum. ' The supervisors' meeting on Thursday will be devoted to papers by R. E.. Bene dict, supervisor of the Olympio National forest: J. F. Kummel, in charge of plant ing in the Portland office of the Forest Service. W. F. Staley, assistant district law officer, will discuss claims and tres pass cases on National forest lands, and J. B: Knapp, assistant district forester In the Portland office, will discuss the relation of products to' work on the Na tional forests.

GREATEST OF ALL TONICS GREATEST OF ALL BLOOD PURIFIERS. Any system that needs a tonic needs also a blood purifier, for it is the weakened and impure condition of the circulation that is responsible for the run-down state of health. We have only to recognize the importance of pure, rich blood in preserving health, to realize the danger of a weakened or impure circulation. The great majority of persons are rapidly coming to understand the importance of preventing disease; they know that a poorly nourished system cannot resist germs and microbes, and that a tonic which purifies and enriches the blood will often ward off a serious spell of illness later on. That Spring is the most trying season on the health is a fact well known to every one. It is the time of year when our constitutions are required to stand the greatest strain, and unless the system receives the proper amount of blood nutriment the health is bound to be affected. The general bodily weakness, tired, worn-out feeling, fickle appetite, poor digestion, etc., come directly as a result of weak, watery blood. If you need a tonic, you need a medicine that has real blood puri fying properties. A great many so called tonics are mere nerve stim ulants, often producing instantaneous exhilarating effect, but acting with decided injury on the system. If your system is weak and run down you can only tone it up by supplying an increased amount of blood nutriment, and this can come only through pure, rich blood. Any tonic which does not purify the blood is dangerous, because it leaves the impurities in the circulation to constantly prey upon the health. S. S. S. is the greatest of all tonics because it is the greatest of all blood purifiers ; and it is the one medicine you can rely on to supply the system with the best tonic effects and at the same time thor oughly purify the blood. The use of S. S. S. at this time may save you from a long spell of sickness, and it will certainly pre pare you for the strain of the long hot Summer. Many people have put off using a tonic until the sys tem became so weakened it could not resist disease, and have paid for the neglect laer on with a spell of fever, malaria,, or some other debilitating sickness. S. S. S. is Nature's ideal tonic and blood purifier. It does not contain a particle of mineral in any form, nor does it contain any of the deleterious nerve stimulants that are used In so manv medicines called tonics. S. S. S. tones up the stomach and digestion, rids one ol the tired, worn-out feeling, improves the appetite and digestion, and in every way contributes to the upbuilding and strengthening of the entire system. . S. S. S. is absolutely safe for persons of any age, and all who are in need of a tonic will find this medicine exactly suited to their needs. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA.

I keep it in the house all the while. It is an excellent tonic to give strength to the system and tone to all the physical members. It gives appetite and energy and makes one feel better in every way. I have found it also an excellent blood purifier. For months I was troubled with an itching skin eruption on the face, and tried many specialists and many remedies to get a cure, but S. S. S. is the" only medicine that seemed to relieve. I am now free of this eruption. I think a great deal of your medicine, believing it to be the best blood purifier and tonic known to the world today. MRS.
