Newi that means much to residents
of the north part of the couniy cornea
In the form of an announcement by
the Nibley-Mlmnaugn Lumber Co,
that they will atart the construction
of a railroad up the Whiskey creek
canyon within the neit thlry daya.
The primary object of the road la for
logging purposes, but It ia the opin
ion locally that the road will event
nally bwome a common carrier, ita
aarpose being- to tap the rich north
ern valleys of the county.
Should the road become a common
carrier, there la no doubt that !t will
be extended aa far aa Flora, and may
eventually reach some point on the
Snake river. epc-cta!ly if the Snake
and Columbia rivers are opened to
navigation. A movement la on foot
now to make Lewlaton an Important
harbor upon the opening of Die Pana
ma canal, and there Is ifctle doubt
but that Wallowa county will, In
och an eent, find some means for a
direct line to this point, ita tben

The grade op the Whiskey creek
canyon la sa d to be the only leasable
one by w"3Jeh a railroad could reach

There Is a strange, mysterious power
In a remarkable blood medicine that finds
iu way through the circulation by what
Is known ss Divine selection. The rem
edy Is Swift's Sure Specific, or 8. 8. 8.
Science cannot explain just why cer
tain elements In the blood teed the bones,
others nourish the hair roots, and so on.
And It Is this same mysterious action of
I. S. S. that attacks all diseased spots,
drives away all germs, heals all sores
sn .ipTitit the activity of i!!k.ia
germs with the powerful healing action
of leucocytes. Remarkable testimonials
have been written that prove beyond
question there Is no blood disease but
what can be cured by 8. 8. 8. And In
all those cas that were treated with
mercury, IndMes. renle. copper and
other miners! with ro permanent effect,
the most astonishing recoveries havt
been mode by 8. 8. 8.
There Is not a blood taint c.f any na
ture thut can remain In a syttem forrf.

assimilates, and wM"h the tissues grate
