THAT COLD YOU HAVE

sickness usually starts with a cold, and
a cold only exists where weakness
exists. Remember that.

syrups or stimulants; they are only;
props and braces and whips.

A Beautiful Indian
Legend by Mrs.Millican
"The Heart of Oregon," a beau
tiful Indian legend, is a very at
tractive booklet issued by Mrs. Ada
B. Millican, one of our best known
local writers. The story will ap
peal especially to the people of
Prineville as the scene of it is laid
in this valley. In the preface, Mrs.
Millican says:
"According to geological lore the
waters of the Ochoco and Crooked
rivers flowed into the basin where
Prineville (Central Oregon) now
stands, extending to the Smith
Rock Hills, some fourteen miles be
low. These Smith Rock Hills are
of the old geological formation.
The new formation or recent flow
of lava runs up to the confluence
of the Ochoco and Crooked rivers
or to the south of Crooked river as
shown on the grade south of Prine
ville. This lava flow continued
down to and below the Smith Rock
Hills of the Deschutes river, and
lapped upon the. hills, making a
dam and forming a lake which was
fed by the streams of the Ochoco
and Crooked rivers.
The action of the water in cutting
its way through is shown by the
various strata in the walls of the
canyon of Crooked river, notably at
the railroad bridge which spans the
canyon at a height of over three
hundred feet."
