Eo fas as the exterior Is concerned the Hassalo appears like a new vessel, having been freshly repainted and all deck equipment gone over, but those who knew her of -ore4were not pre pared for the Interior changes. The forward cabin has been done over and had additional comforts, while an elec tric piano is an addition. The dining saloon Is csrpeted like a hotel drawing room, all fittings have been renewed and the small table system carried out. instead of the customary steamboat style of having a few long tables. Staterooms Are Feafures. KT-ery stateroom looks as fresh and Inviting as though the steamer had Just made her first trial trip and in stead of the out-of-date toilet arrange, ments, each room had a porcelain basin with hot and cold water, an other innovation on the river.

As far as speed goes the Hassalo lias lost none of It and after getting Into the lower river she was given a short spurt that showed her In the old-time form.

Numerous changes in the came laws now In force are to be considered at th annual meeting of the Fish and flame Commission Monday. The opinion is held by several membera of th Commission that there should be some revision of the regulations covering the open season on various game birds and animals, also' some change In the bag limit, and new laws cover' Ing the protection of fish.

A trio of hunters returned today from the Little White Salmon River, bringing with them one couger and two bears. E. Fish of this town, Marion Locke, of Btngen, and Arthur Howe, of Colfax.

The fact that three of the best hunters captured three of the gamiest wild animals in the Cascade range In three days is significant, but the tremor of excitement experienced by Locke In Ranchers at Summer Lake Desist Boring Operations for Fiear Ground May Collapse. SUMMER LAKE, Or., May 15. (Spe cial.) Antics of the earth's crust have caused John Part In and I. L. Hale to abandon their efforts to sink an arte sian well on the Partln ranch at the north end of Summer Lake. Mr. Partln believed that the ranch was try- ng to bury itself, and Mr. Hale was n fear that his drilling machinery niiKht sink with the earth. Work was started on the well several weeks ago and soon after the earth began to crumble and sink around the casing. Then the whole surface sagged two feet for several rods in all directions from the drill. Partin ard Hale became frightened, pulled up the casing and withdrew. There are more than 20 artesian wells in the Summer Lake district and each hole shows a different earth for mation or a different flow. On the ranch of L. Kllppel holes were bored for three artesian wells. A strong flow of good water was found one, a flow equally as strong, but of different kind of water was struck n the second and the drillers en countered gas In the third well. Summer Lake Is at the foot of a towering rimrock. It is so pregnated with mineral, soda and salts that fish cannot live in the water. Geologists say that the lake and surrounding val ley at one time were on a level with the top of the rimrock, but gradually sunk away and are still sinking at the rate of a fraction of an Inch each year. The experience at the Partin ranch seems to corroborate this theory. Now, ranchers are asking whether their artesian wells should not be capped when not needed for irriga tion, as they believe the crust of the earth covering the artesian pocket is so thin that It may crumble when the water is exhausted. At one place the artesian water is so, close to the sur face that a flowing well was struck at 26 feet Scientists hold that the present generation of Summer Lake Is out of danger. With one well flow ing on every ten acres of land in the valley, according to the scientific esti mate. It would be something like 5000 years before the water is exhausted. Beside, It Is argued, the water con tinually Is replenishing Itself. .Mandolin Given Freight Agent. Frank W. Robinson, retiring general freight agent of the O.-W. R. & N.

Cap- HEALS SORES AND ULCERS S. S. S. heals Sores and Ulcers in the Tery simplest way. It just goes right down into the blood and removes the cause, and the place is bound to heal because the impurities and morbid matters which have been the means of keeping the ulcer open are no longer absorbed from the blood. External applications of salves, lotions, plasters, etc., can never produce a cure because they do not reach the source of the trouble. At best they can only allay pain or reduce inflammation : such treatment is working on symptoms and not reaching the cause. Every nutritive corpuscle in the blood is weakened or infected, they cannot nourish the fibrous tissue around the place, but instead they constantly discharge into the flesh around the ore a quantity ot impure, germ-laden matter which gradually eats into the surrounding healthy tissue and causes the nicer to enlarge. Since impute blood is responsible for Sores and Ulcers, a medicine that can purify the blood is the only hope of a cure. S. S. S. has long been recognized as the greatest of all blood purifiers, possessing the qualities necessary to remove very impurity from the blood. While curing the sore or ulcer S. S. S. brings about a healthy condition of the flesh by supplying it with rich, healthy blood, and thus niakes the cure permanent and lasting.

Removes the Scum From the Tongue, Sweetens a Sour, Gassy, Bilious Stomach; Cleanses Your liver and 30 Feet of Bowels Without Gripe or Nausea. If headachy, bilious, dizzy, tongue coated, stomach sour and full of gas, you belch undigested food and feel sick and miserable, it means that your liver is choked with sour bile and your thirty feet of bowels are clogged with effete waste matter not properly car ried off. Constipation is worse than most folks believe. It means that this waste matter in the thirty feet of bowels decays into poisons, gases and acids and that these poisons are then sucked Into the blood through the very ducts which should suck only nour ishment to sustain the body. Most people dread physic. Thery think of castor oil, salts and cathartic pills. They shrink from the after effects so they postpone the' dose until they pet sick: then they do this liver and bowel cleansing In a heroic way they have a bowel washday , That is all wrong. If you will take a teaspoonful of delicious Syrup of Figs tonight, you will never realize you have taken anything until morning, when all the poisonous matter, sour bile and clogged-up waste will be moved on and out of your svstem, thoroughly but gently no sjriplng no nausea no weakness. Taking Syrup of Figs is a real pleasure. Don't think you are drugging your self: it is composed entirely of lus cious figs, senna and aromatics, and constant use can not cause injury.
