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.
The veterans will undertake to
bring sufficient Influence to bear or
the national lawmakers In the emu
em states to Insure the passage of the
bill Introduced by Senntor Chamber
lain providing for an Increase from
$8 to $16 In their ponslons. In thlf
connection a resolution was adopted
thanking Senator Chamberlain fur
having introduced Buch a bill.

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.

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.

WITHVCOMIIB NOT A
CANDIDATE,
SALEM, Or., June 10. Director
James Wlthycombe, of the United
States experiment station at the Ore
gon Agricultural College, who was
present at the opening of the new
fruit packing plant of the Salem Fruit
Union, Btated that up to the present
time he was not a candidate for the
nomination for governor on the Re
publican ticket for the 1910 election
and that, except from hearsay, he was
not aware that petitions were In gen
eral circulation over the state asking
him to become a candidate. Such a
petition was in circulation in Salem
recently and was generously signed
and similar petitions were circulated
over the state.
Dr. Wlthycombe says he has num
erous political friendB at Portland
who have been prevailing upon him
to make the race, but that he has
given out no satisfaction or encour
agement, and he presumes that the
petitions have emanated from that
source. He states that his candidacy
for renominatlon for the governor
ship depends entirely upon the condi
tions that may exist when the time
comes for the filing of nomination
petitions.
