King's New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds to be unequaled. A
recent expression from T. J. McFarland

writes: "I had Bronchitis for three
years and doctored all the time without
being benefitted. ' Then I began taking
Dr. King's Mew Discovery, and a few
bottles wholly cured me," Equally ef
fective in curing all Lung and Throat

'Grip. Guaranteed by Charman & Co.,

child will draw a stub therefrom. The
person holding the corresponding num
ber will be the winner of the quilt.

Very Annoying to Some People.
People that are known to be weak and
sickly, by their neighbors, are asked the
question every day whether they are
feeling better. Do you feel stronger?
Are you gaining flesh? Their friends
know if they are gaining flesh, it is one
of the sure signs of returning health.
If they can only get a remedy that will
make solid, healthy flesh, recovery is
assured. People with nervous troubles,
loss of flesh and strength, no ambition,
languid and always tired, have thin
watery blood. The food they e&t does
not nourish them, it does not make
blood. If after eAch meal thev would

Jld making solid flesn and strength.
The tablets are Bold in boxes by all
Druggists for 75 rents, or 3 boxes for $2.
People who use this Tonic gain in solid
flesh from 1 to 3 pounds per week, they
feel better and kDow they are on the
road to health. For sale by Charman

Those who are fond ot separating the
gamy trout from his native element, are
not well pleased with the results obtain
ed thus far. While a number of good
catches have been made, the majority of
excursions nave been disappointing,
Some whose opinion is worth listening
to say that later in the season the sport
win be better.
Within the past few years hundreds
of books have been added to the libran
ies 01 tbis county. Many scboois now
nave a lair collection of good reading
matter wnicn tends to broaden tbe stu
dents as they advance with their studies
proper. Mucb of this monev has been
raised by giving entertainments. One
of the recent ones was at Cams where
$15.40 was raised and a number of good
books were added to the already ex st
ing library.
A picnic marked the close of the Oak
Grove bchool last Friday. A fine pro

In making up the general, averages for
the year's work It was noticed that Or.

On their return from a hunting trip to
Golly Creek last week, (our Canby
young men camped over night at
stream a little this side of the Shandy
place. One of them, Clyde Dix, jumped
up in a terrible fright at about midnight
snouted and nred on bis nil", tie said
that he bad beard the roar of a panther
cat. As they were in imminent danger
of being attacked at any moment, the
quartette hugged their gung pretty
closely for the remainder of the night.
In the morning they found the tracks in
the sand of a large cougar.
Recently an automobile accident ont
of the ordinary was reported. A well
known citizen was driving on the Oswe
go road accomponied by bis wife and
children when the machine got out of
order. Getting out and assisting the
family to alight, the gentleman began
repairs, when suddenly the machine
started and before it could be stopped
plunged into the river. As it was not
built for navigating the bine waters of
the Willamette, a steamboat was en
gaged to remove it from its anchorage.
That the spring is rapidly merging
into summer, and that even antumn is
not far distant when the golden wheat
will be safely stowed In the farmer's
granery, was called to mind Friday
when Samuel Elmer of Clarkea, passed
through Oregon City with a fine new
threshing outfit. The eugine is of the J.
J. Case manufacture and has 15-horse-power.
The separator is made by the
same company, has a 28-inch cylinder,
is a self feeder, and has a windstacker,
besides a weighing attachment. This is
certainly one of the finest outfits in the
county.

Messrs. Mann and Forsythe, living
about two miles northeast of Oregon
City, recently cut down a tree no, they
tried to cut down a tree. It must be ad
mitted that they are not the first men
who ever tried to cut down a tree, but
perhaps they are not the first who ever
failed to accomplish their object for the
sax-e reason It was a large tree, some
six or seven feet in diameter. The two
men sawed, and sweat, and swo , the
last may not be true, so it is just as well
not to say it. The saw dragged its
weary length back and forth through
the six feet of solid fir, the day wore on
and the saw-teeth wore off, but the tree
gave no sign of falling. It did noc even
stagger. At length the tree was cut
through to within a few inches, but it
obeyed St. Paul's injunction, "be stead.
last." Wedges were inserted, but tbe
tree never budged ; and there it stands
yet, or at least it still stood, and also
stood still at last reports. Some people
think the strange phenomenon a result
of witchcraft; others suppose that chance
has placed the center of gravitation ex
actly over the center of the basal sup
port, so that any motion whatever in
any direction whichever has a tendency
to elevate tbe center of mass, or words
to that effect. But tbe most reasonable
suggestion is this : Keeping in mind
the size of the tree, the probable dull
ness of tne saw, and the wonderfully
fertile soil and invigorating climate of
Oregon, it seems quite possible that the
stump and that portion of the trunk
which were first cut apart, grew togetner
again before tbe opposite side of the
tree was reached. Stranger things than
that are said to have happened In Ore
gon. Advertised Letters.
The following letters remain uncalled
for in tbe postoffice at Oregon City for
the week ending June 2, 1904:

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.
Wondeiful things are done for the hu
man body by surgery. Organs are taken
ontsand scraped and polished and put
back, or they may be removed entirely;
bones ara spliced; pipes take the
place of diseased sections of veins; anti
septic dressings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries before
Inflammation sets in, which causes
them to heal without maturation and
in one-third the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. It is aa an
tiseptic and when applied to such injur,
ies, causes them to heal very quickly.
It also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your home
and it will save you time and money,
not to mention the inconvenience and
suffering which such injuries entail. For
sale by Geo. A. Harding.
