HUNTINGTON. Ore. Managing a :
farm of 360 acres, living by herself
'in a sparsely settled neighborhood i
two miles from Huntington, further
Isolated by the reason of her Mormon
belief, tolling from morning until
night with shovel along an irrigation
Jhlttch and with horp n tzrrz
work, Miss" Alice Durbin, aged 53,
native of Oregon, is one of the most
unique characters In . this section
where uniqueness is not a rare thing.
Miss Durbin was the only daughter
of C. J. Durbin, a pioneer of this sec
tion, who settled on part of the land
now owned by his heir, in 1$75. At
the same time tho daughter took a
claim of 160 acres adjoining the land
of her father, and this land she has
owned and improved constantly since.
At her father's dtiath she became
owner of 200 acres of the old home
stead, and throwing the entire tract i
Into a big farm begun its management
and cultivation.
Of the tract 150 acres are under
irrigation, a system of water having
been installed at heavy expense by the
father and daughter many years ago,
The land lies near the Snake river
valley and will produce all kinds of
fruit and vegetables, making it valu
able as well as in need of great care.
Yet with it all Miss Durbin manages
f?rm rrlth tact ptul. uiiiug
help during the busy season and rent
ing such tracts as she feels in 'duty
bound to give control to others. But
daily, year in and year out. since 1875
this little woman has lived and work
ed upon the broad acres lying on tiie
bluffs above Snake river,
Miss Durbin was, born at Salem,
Ore.. December 11, 156, and a few
years later wps brought by her par
ents to eastern Oregon. In all these
years she has visited Portland only
once, to see the Lewis and Clark Ex
position, but has never been outside
of the state.. Her mother, having died
when she was a mere child, to ber
befell the task of rearing four broth
ers, two of whom still survive. Bur
dened with cares beyond her years,
Miss Durbin became reconciled to her
fate upon tho bleak Oregon hills, and
has never desired to change her lot,
either by marriage or removal.

words were spoken to Geo. E. Blevons,
a leading merchant of SprintU'd, N.
C. by two expert doctors one a lung
specialist Then was shown the won
derful power of Dr. Klnxs New Dis

writes Mr. Blevens, "he was as well
as ever. I would not take all the
money in the world for what it did
for my boy." Infalliable for Coughs

Jlcst Treatment for Colds.
"Most ordlnarv colds will yield to
the simplest treatment," says the Chi
cago Tribune, 'moderative laxatives,
hot foot baths, a free perspiration and
an avoidance of exposure to cold and
wet ofter treatment." While this
treatment Is simple, It requires con
siderable trouble, and the one adopt
ing it must remain in doors (or a
day or two, or a fresh cold is almost
sure to be contracted, and In many
Instances pneumonia follows. Is it
not better to pin your faith to an old
reliable preparation like 'Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, that Is famous
for its cures of colds and can always
be depended upon? For saye by All
Good Druggists.
