Why Snfler So?
Why suffer from a bad back, from
harp, shooting twinges, headaches,
dixxiness and distressing urinary
Ills? Grants Pass people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills. Could yon ask
tor stronger proof of merit?
Mrs. A, M. Evensen, 625 S. Fourth
St., says: "I was nearly laid up
-with rheumatic troubles, which af
fected my hips and one of my limbs.
(At times the pain was almost un
bearable. Often the muscles and
cords In my limbs seemed to con
tract, causing intense pain. - During
this trouble, my kidneys were more
or less affected, which prompted me
to take Doan's Kidney Pills." The
first box regulated my kidneys and I
took about three boxes In all when
the rheumatic pains In my hips, and
limb left me entirely. Now when
my kidneys bother me, I use Doan's
Kidney Pills and they always do me
good."

J. Allan Dunn's "Jim and the Ad

passage: Jim Is alone on an atoll of
the South Sea Islands when a band of
blacks Invade bis solitude.
'Something appeared on a seething
crest, a slender length of black like a
mammoth water beetle, striking ont
with desperate legs. The next instant
It slid sideways down the watery bill
and smashed upon the reef. A dozen
figures fell from It and then a dozen
bobbing heads appeared In the lagoon.
It was a canoe, the bobbing heads
were those of natives.
"While he stared, first one. then an
other, dragged a weary body up on
the beach and rested on hands and
knees with heads hanging down as I:
exhausted. Slowly they got .to their
feet and staggered up the beach.
"They were like no natives Jim had
yet seen. These men were black rath
er than brown. Their hair stood up
in fanlike frizzes, dyed yellow and red
by lime. Their foreheads were low,
eyes deep sunken, chins retreating.
The lobes of their ears bung in ragged
strips almoHt to their shoulders and,
stuck In the leathery fringes, were or
naments of brass anil shell. Save for
a wisp of fiber they were'stsrk naked.
And they were almost skeletons. Hips
nnd ribs showed through skin tight as
the parchment on a drum, elbows and
knees wore great knots and the leg
and arms mere bone and corded sin
ews. Their lips were hideously swol
len and cracked, they leaned on long
spears. One, who seemed the leader,

to pass over. He said the stage
drivers use four horses on this
stretch ot road hitched to their au
tomobiles, and that at places the
horses sink Into the mud up to their
knoes. The remedy needed, said Mr.
Webb, Is a little attention to that
part of the road during the winter
months.
In speaking (it the harbor bonds
of Crescent City, Mr. Webb stated
that they had been sold but that In
all probability no wori would be
done until business conditions are
more settled and men could be em
ployed at a reasonable wage. It Is
stated, although not authoritatively,
that the harbor Improvement will be
made whether tho proposed railroad
between Grants Pass and the coast
city Is built or not.
Asked as to whether the people of

favor on the $300,000 bonus asked.
Mr. Weed said it was too early yet to
determine, but added that the peo
ple of that section will make any
kind of a reasonable deal to seruro
