INDIAN WAR VKTKKANH TO AUK MURE MONEY Want $00,000 From Ori-fron and (he Same Rate of Pensions oh the Civil War Veterans Get. PORTLAND, Or., June 10. Pio neer defenders of the Pacific North west, represented in the membership of the Indian War Veterans of the North Pacific Coast, which Includes the States of Oregon, Washington Idaho and Montana, assembled lu this eity yesterday In annual convention The meeting was attended by aboul 175 of the veterans, or practically 50 per cent of the attendance last year, an indication of the rapidity In which these fearleas defenders are resiwnd' log to the final roll call. Through tbelr organization, the Indian War Veterans during the com ing year will undertake two things. They will ask Congress to Increase their pensions from 18 to $16 a month, placing them on tho same rat ing as the voterans of tho Civil War. Under that arrangement, veterans ol the Indian wars attaining the age ol 75 years will bo entitled to a pension of $20 monthly. Under the presenl grading, the mailmum pension paid the Indian War voterans is $8, The organization will also sook to arouse public sentiment sufficiently, particularly in this state, to induce the state legislature to provide a sum clent appropriation to complete pay ment of the claims of the Indian fighters for their services, Including a per diem for the use of their horses during the hostilities when they ren dered the state valuablo sorvlce from 1850 to 1860. The Oregon legisla ture has twice made appropriations covering these Items, but there still remalDB a deficit and It 1b estlmnted that an additional $50,000 will be required to liquidate these claims en tirely. It is possible that the veter ans will conclude to provide for thlt appropriation through a bill proposed undor the Initiative. They feel thai alt they are asking for Is In the no ture of a valid obligation to which the state Is legally Indebted. The following committee was appointed to take the proper steps to secure de sired recognition. C. W. Noblet, T V. B. Embree and A. O. Lloyd.

WHAT RAILROAD TIES tX)HT THE RAILROADS WASHINGTON. Juno 11. During the year 1908. the steam and electric railroads of the United States pur chased mora than 112,000,000 cross ties, coating, at the point of pur chase, over $i'i6,000.000, an average of fifty cents per tic, according to statistics Just made public by the Bureau of the Census in co-operntlon with the United States Forest Ser vice. This was some 40,000.000 ties ' leas than the quantity purchased in 1007, when tho total was approxi mately 153.700,000, the hlghpHt ever recorded. The decreased purchases in 1908 were, of course, chiefly due to the business depression which affect ed every line of Industry. This forc ed most of the roads to purchase only the ties which were absolutely essen tial for renewals, and heavily cut down the purchase for new trai'k. In 1908 only 7,431.000 cross-tie were reported as purchased for new track . aa against 23.557.000 in 1907. Of tha total number of ties purchased for all purposes, the steam roads took approximately ninety-four per cent, leaving about six per cent for the electric roads. It Is very interesting to note the wide range of woods used for cross ; ties. The preliminary report by the Census Bureau lists separately 15 ,t classes or species. Of these the oak are now and have always been by . far the most Important. The oak ties amounted to more than 4 8,OiH,0"0. or 4 3 per cent of the total quantity purchased. Next to these rnnked '- the southern yellow pines, with 21, 600,000, or 19 aer cent of the total It will be seen that the oaks and aouthern pines combined furnished 5 nearly three-fourths of all the ties bought by the railroad companies last year. Cedar and chestnut siip ; plied more than 8.000,000 ties each, i and Douglas fir nearly as much About 4,000,000 tamarark ties were purchased, nearly 3,600,0000 cypress ties, and, In round numbers, 3,000. 000 each f western pine and hem look, redwood, white pine, lodge pole pins, gum, beech, spruce, and other woods were used In smaller quantities. q i "Keep Bsnillac." NATURE'S TONIC The verr great majority of peisons need tonic In the Spring or earlj Bummer. The system undergoes a change at this season and the entire physical machinery Is disturbed. The general bodily weakness, a tired, worn-out feeling, fickle appetite, poor digestion, n half sick feeling and a general run-down condition of the system, show that the blood Is weak or anaemic, and a blood purifying tonic Is needed to build up the deranged system and enrich the blood. The use of 8.8.8. at this tune may save you from a long spell of sickness, and it will certainly prepare you for the long, hot Summer. Many people have put oft UBtng a tonic until the system became so weakened and depleted it could not successfully throw off disease) germs, and have paid for the neglect with a spell of fever, malaria or soma other debilitating sickness. S. 8. 8. is Nature's Ideal tonic. It Is a composition of the extracts and Juices of roots, herbs and barks which science and experience have proven are best fitted for a tonic to the human system. It contains no minerals of any kind and is therefore perfectly safe for persons of any age. 8.8,8, tones up the stomach and digestion, rids the system of that tired, worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and strength to every part of the body. It purities and enriches the blood, stimulates the secreting and excreting members to better action, quiets the over strained ntrves, and makes one feel better in every way.
