HEADACHE FACTS Headache is an almost universal ailment; 80 per have it, at least occasionally. cent if Headaches could bs relieved by means of strong opiates, but drugging a pain is not curing it. .

ECHO CUTOFF LIKELY Renewed Interest in tbe Echo Co yote cut off on the O R & N, is caused by a visit of Chief Engineer Bosche, General Superlntent M J Buckley, and Superintendent D w Campbell, of the Oregon division, to tbia portion of tbe system, says the East Oregonian. It is highly probable tbat tbe Echo Coyote cut off will be made, as tbe en ire energy of tbe system Is bent toward a' ortedng distances and re- ducing grades. Tbe main line between Huntington and Portland would - be shortened 20 miles by tbe construction of tbis cut off and tbe heavy grade of. tbs Hermiston bill would be avoided. One freight engine oould bring 1700 tons from Coyote to Pendleton over tbe cut off, while one engine can bring but 1300 tons from Uanatilla to Pen dleton at the present time On tbe return trip to Portland the officials will perhaps go over the line of survey ol tbis cut-off with a view to estimating more oloee'y tbs proper course ot tbs line and also to visw tbs character ot tbe grade work snd tbs -sed ot culverts and bridges. Ill It is now possible to cure a headache quicker than aa opiate will relieve it, and to cure harmlessly by remov ing the cause. , I IV Newlin's Instant headache cure ia a perfect remedy.
