THE EXCaiENCE OF SYBUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, anil we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing' the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fio Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding1 the worthless imitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing1 of the Cali fornia Fia Strup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate.

Considerale excitement prevails from Lakeview, Lake county, Oregon, all along the line to Reno. Nev., owing to the recent authenticated report of the extension of the Nevada & California railroad from Amedu, Cal., north. The news of the purchase of over 3,000 tons of steel rails in New York by the own ers of this road was sent out last week, and the material will be shipped im mediately to Amedu, preparatory to beginning of extension work in the spring. This is a narrow-guage road now terminating at Amedu, and it is concluded that the next terminus will be Van Loans, 65 miles north, and nearly orossing over the great Mada line plains. It will place Lakeview within 105 miles of railroad transior tation, and will make a considerable difference in stock shipping, freighting and passenger travel. The object ol the proposed extension is to head off the Southern Pacific Company, which is now extending its line from Upton through the great McCloud timber belt to Fall River. , Speedy Mall Carriers. All records of ice travel on the Yu kon have been broken by the recent feat of the mounted police of the Northwest teriitory in bringing a big shipment of mail from Dawson to Skagway in nine days and 10 hours. The mail left Dawson on the morning of January 16 and was in Skagway before noon on January 31. The record was made by the Canadian officials', it is said, to show that they eould greatly reduce the time being made by the United States mail contractors. Bljr Sale of Wheat. With the sale of about 500,000 bush els of wheat on a basis of 50 cents for No. 1 club, net, to the farmers, the wheat market has taken on a quieter tone at Pendleton, Or., and o sales are being recorded. The distribution of 1250,000 of ready money in this com munity has given considerable impetus to retail business, whioh had become somewhat stagnant fiom the failure of the producers to realize either on wheat or wool. Schooner Sander Libeled. The schooner Fred E. Sander, at the Taooma mill loading lumber for Yallejo Jnnotion, has been libeled by James Gillespie, formerly a cook on her, for 1318. The suit was brought while the ship .was on the lower Sound. The case will be heard in Seattle. Since coming to Tacoma the captain and all of the crew who were in her before, with the exception of a Mexican,' who speaks no English, have left her. Farming; Operations Resumed. Farming operations are in active progress in the country south and west of Colfax, Wash., and last week hun dreds of acres were plowed for spring seeding.

The man jumped from behind a clump of brush, threw the girl on the ground, took off one of her shoes and ordered her to skip. Mr. Morris . heard the screams of his daughter, and ran to hei rescue, but the assailant wr.s nowhere to be found. No Bids Received.

The police department will now indorse the petition of the seamen of the Columbia that the vessel be put up for as much as she will bring. The sailors of the vessel are really in a very bad shape. Most of them have not a cent, and have not possessed a dollar in weeks. Overhauling a Nail Plant. The report published in the Port Townsend Leader a few days ago to the effect that the nail works plant was being wrecked for the purpose of shipping the machinery elsewhere, wae a mistake. It originated from the fact that several workmen were busily en gaged in overhauling the machinery. When the plant will resume work has not been definitely settled. Income From Clams. According to the Astorian, C. N. Carnahan, as a iesult of a personal in vestigation of the subject, finds that the estimate of value of the olam prod uct of Clatsop county contained in Fish Commissioner McQuire's report is wrong. Mr. McGuire puts the an nual value of Clatsop county clams at $900. Mr. Carnahan states that it is very close to $10,000. Boy Pirates at San Francisco. John Hall in and Arthur Daught have been arrested at San Francisco on a charge of stealing copper and brass from the Mare island navy-yard. They were formerly wreckers, bat of late have been veritable bay pirates, using a wbaleboat and a skiff to commit their depredations. General Land Office Reversed. In the case of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company against James B. Gaines, involving lands in the Walla Walla land district, Washington, the secretary has reversed the decision of the general land office, which held for cancellation the selection of the rail road, company and allowed the applica tion of Gaines to make homestead en try of the disputed tract.

Foster on National Issues. - Regarding his position on national issues, Mr. Foster says: "I favor what is commonly termed the expansion policy. Under a business-like arrangement I favor the build ing of the Nicaragua canal. I am for sound money and a thorough business man's administration of our public affairs. I favor an open river policy for the Columbia and as a general pioposition favor river and harbor im provements of all kinds. In a word, I desire to see. the possibilities of the Pacific coast, particularly of my own state, realized, and I shall do all in my power to advance the material welfare of Washington."

BEECHER ON ADVERTISING ,"" DOCTORS. San Francisco Chronicle. "I am glad that the doctor cured him; I am glad that the doctor put it into the paper that be could cure him. And if any doctor is certain he can cure such diseases and don't put it into the paper, I am sorry. What a pity it would have been had this doctor come to town with his wealth of science and experience and gone away leaving him uncured ! What a pity it would have been if he had been so prejudiced against advertising as to read the responsible certificates of the doctor and gave him the go-by as a quack ! What are newspapers for,- if not to circulate in formation ? What more valuable informa tion can a newspaper give than to tell a sick man where he can be cured? If a ni an has devoted his life and labor to the study of a special class of diseases, the necessity oi nis saving so Decomes au me more pressing.- His duty to advertise be comes imperious. A really able man. whatever be bis gifts, makes a great mis take if he fails to use those gifts through want of advertising." The above extract from an article by the Rev. Mr. Beecher embodies a sound view of the subject of advertising. Suppose Dr. Darrin, at 265 Morrison street, this city, had come to the citv and not advertised. who would know of his presence? Who would know of the following almost miraculous cure ne performed in ls7z, fiaa not Mr. Dibble nut it in the iiaDer ?

North Dakota, writes about her strug gle to regain health after the birth of her little girl: " Dear Mrs. Pinkham: It is with pleasure that 1 add my testimony to your list, hoping that it may induce others to avail themselves of your val cable medicine. After the birth of my little girl, three years ago, my health was "very poor. I had leucorrhoea badly, and a terrible bearing-down pain which gradually grew worse, until 1 could do to work. Also had headache nearly all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men struations were very profuse, appear ing every two weeks. " I took medicine from a good doctor, but it seemed to do no good. I was becoming alarmed over my condition, when I read your advertisement in a paper. I sent at once for a bottle ot Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, and after taking- two-thirds of the bottle I felt so much better that I send for two more. After using three bottles I felt as strong and well as any one. " I think it is the best medicine for female weakness ever advertised, and recommend it to every lady I mee t suf fering from this trouble." Maternity is a wonderful experience and many women approach it wholly unprepared. Childbirth under right conditions need not terrify women. ' The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely offered to all expectant mothers, and her advice is beyond question the most valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be fore confinement she would have been saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham' address is Lynn, Mass.
