id the earth shake here? There are
those who reside near this city who firmly
oelieve that the hills surrounding Perry
have been visited by some sort of earth
tremor, and to bear them out in the
theory they point to numerous cracks and
opening in the earth's crust which were
not present until Wednesday at two
o'clock J An Observer reporter visited
nd through the kindness of J. H.
Mimnaugh, manager of the Grande
Ronde Lumber Co.. he was taken to the
hill side and shown the cracks and open
ings. There is nodoubt that there has
been some disturbance. There are cracks
extending over an area of several acres
which appear only as line of fracture
hardly decernable, to opening several
inches wide. In many places the earth
ha been pushed up a distance of several
inches, and in one place the line of frac
ture passed directly through a large
stump which was split apart as if it had
bean a shingle.
The force of the land breaking
process was sufficient to bulge
up the water mains which pass
ed through the disturbed district and
cause a number of serious leaks. It was
this break to the water mains which
caused the discovery of the breaks in the
mountain sides.
Two of the mill men claim that they
plainly felt a tremor pass through the
mill Wednesday afternoon between one
and two in the afternoon, but thought
nothing of it until they heard of the trou
ble witn the water main. There s no
possibility of the break of the water
mains having been the origin of the dis
turbance, because the area effected is too
great for the amount of lost water to
have affected. The hill side just back of
Perry will be watched with close atten
tion now that earthquakes are the order
of the day and there is no -reason to
doubt that it was some sort of earth
tremor.

BETTER THAN EVER
Mr. Ben Hendricks, the favorite Swed
ish dialect comedian and Northland singer
comes to Steward's opera house, Monday
April 23. He will present his everlastina
play "Ola Olson." The story of "Ole"
unfolds a plot of intrigue, love and comedy
situations. The play is a clean, refined
and gentle type and in the role of "Ole"
Mr. Hendricks finds a character entirely
suited to his peculiar style and one which
affords him ample opportunity to c'l pi; y
his superior ability as a vocalist and a
comedian, and his interpretation of the
young Swedish emigrant is the best work
which the talented star ' has ever done.
Mr. Hendricks songs always have a
strange sweetness. Maybe it is the mel
ody, but nevertheless, it is there and the
audience we are sure will not be slow to
attest their appreciation. This season
Mr. Hendricks will sing six new songs
which have become very popu'ar.

- Whenever a sore or ulcer doe not beat and shows signs of becoming
chronic, it should arouse suspicion, because many of these placets lead to
Cancer. It may appear as an ordinary sore at first, and is given
treatment as such, with some simple salve, wash or plaster, with the hope
that the place will heal, bat the real seat of the trouble is in the blood and
cannot be reached by external remedies, and soon the sore will return. After
awhile the deadlv Doiaon besrins to eat

into the surrounding flesh and the
ulcer spreads rapidly, becoming more
offensive and alarming until at last
the sufferer finds he is afflicted with
Cancer. Cancerous ulcers often start
from a boil, wart, mole or pimple,
which has been bruised or roughly
handled, showing that the taint is in
the blood, perhaps inherited. Another cause for non-healing ulcers and
