SALEM, Or., Nov. 22. (Special.) De claring that its loss for the fiscal year ending June 30, last, was J126.000, the United Railways Company today filed an application with the State Railroad Commission for an Increase In rates on its line from Portland to Wilkesboro. When the company obtained a franchise to lay Its tracks on the Linnton road by the Multnomah County Court In 1908, it was stipulated that the fare between Portland and Linnton should be not more than 6 cents. After the line was. built the company attempted to charge 15 cents from the Portland station at Second and Stark streets to Linnton. There was no legal question as to its rigrht to charge 6 cents from the station in Portland to the city limits, but the Circuit Court held that it could not charge a fare of more than 10 cents from the station to Linnton. The company avers that the fare is unremuneratlve and that when the fran chise was granted by the County Court, no one had a knowledge of what rates would be reasonable. It says in the ap plication, "the order of the Court was lmprovidently without proper regara to the public interests or a fair return for the service." The following schedule, of rates is asked: Between station in Portland to shops, 5 cents; 10 cents from station to Stock dale and Willbridge, Including stations between; 15 cents from Portland station to Webster and Linnton; 30 cents to Burlington instead of 25 cents as at present charged. 60 cents to North Plains and 70 cents to Wilkesboro.

No body can be efficient without being well. The halting step and dull eye, the sallow skin, the foul breath, etc., are all indications of disordered stomach and bowels. They indicate lodgment of fetid . waste matter " somewhere along the intestinal tract. Whenever this waste matter is present it should be elim inated at once. It should not be done in the energetic and harmful way characteristic, of strong phys ics, cathartics, etc. It should be brought about in the nat ural, easy, soothing way characteristic of FRUITOLA and TRAXO These natural fruit oils and juices not only completely cleanse the system but they give strength and tone to the mucous lining and muscular wails of the stomach and bowels. They put the spring 5n the step, the sparkle in the eye, the rose on the cheek and the smiles in the face. They not only relieve you but they will keep you free from sick headache, biliousness, constipa tion, liver complaint; and many users testify that they have re lieved gall stones and appendicitis. All this is quite natural because FRUITOLA AND TRAXO win bring about a perfect digestion and assimilation of the food you eat. Do it now end your suffering. Be well, efficient and happy. Fruitola and Traxo are sold by nearly all druggists. If your dru g gist does not have them, write to us direct and we will see that you are supplied.
