I consider It not only a pleasure but a
amy i owe to my neighbors to tell ahout
the wonderful cure effected in my case
by the timely use of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I was
taken very badly with flux and procured
a bottle of this remedy. A few doses of
it effected a permanent cure. I take
pleasure in recommending it to others
suffering from that dreadful disease.

The ancient believed that rheumatism
was the work of a demon within man.
Any one who ha had an attack of sciatic
or inflammatory rhoumatism will agree
that the infliction la demoniac enough
to warrant the belief. It has never been
claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm
would east out demons, but It will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testi
mony to the truth of this statement.

this quick relief which it affords la alone

Dr. A. P. McLaren, of Rainier, was in
town Monday afternoon on a brief visit.
The doctor ha disposed of bis drug store
and practice at Rainier to Dr. M. K.
Hall, late of Kalama. Dr. McLaren ex
pects to soon leave for Canada, where he
will visit a short time, after which he
expects to enter medical college again
and take post-graduate course, perhaps
in Europe. The doctor has many warm
reraonal friends in this county wno wish
im success in his plana, and who will
welcome hi return, which will probably
be made in two or three year.
The Woodmen of the World of our
state are showing their patriotism in no
uncertain way. A movement is on foot
among them to erect a monument to the
brave Oregon boys who enlisted for the
late war, many of whom are still in the
service. The plan la to give a series of
monster entertainments in Portland
from May 80th to June 2nd, inclusive,
the entire proceeds of which will be ap
plied to this fund. Let all go; not only
because the parades, musia and other
attractions will amply repay for going
but each will thus be able to contribute
something in behalf of the fund.
What could be made the most attrac
tive place on the Columbia river for sum
mer excursion parties is the little scope
of territory on the north side of "Nigger"
creek, at this place. There is already a
portion of the grove cleared and provided
with seats, but evidence of dilapidation
Is abundant on the premise. The grove
should be cleaned out thoroughly, more
seats provided, and a service pipe laid to
the grounds could be supplied with water,
These improvements, with the numer
ous attractions thereabout would be a
decided inducement for excursion parties
coming from Portland to spend the day
there.
No Action Was Taken.

17,847 Pounds of Batter.
Seven years arc the people of Tilla
mook county turned their attention to
dairying. Since that time more than a
dozen creameries have been successfully
established in the county. In the year
1898 turned out 17.847 pounds of butter
and 91,931 pound of cheese, which net
ted the farmer patronising tnese cream
eries, $18,614. There seems to be no
reason why uoiumbia county coma not
do as well. The acres of grass on her
hillside and meadow that are turned
to an unoavlnir use could be easily and
most profitably converted into milk and
butter.
Ask Him These Questions,
The next time a traveling peddler
from outside the county calls at your
door and tries to sell you good, ask if
he will take your eggs, butter and other
farm products. Abe him if, when your
neighbor gets ready to build bridge
over the slough, he would willingly
donate few dollars to help It along.
Tell him there is a poor family down the
road who would be thanaiui it tie wouia
donate a little money to buy provision ;
aak him if he will contribute to a new
enterprise just starting. - Your home
merchant will do all this, aud more.
