c OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1907. 5 HIGH BRIDGE ACROSS RIVER S. P. Lets Contract for the New Willsburg Cutoff. TOTAL COST $350,000 Bridge will Have No Draw and will Span the Will amette River' at Oswego. Contracts for the construction of the Wlllisburg cutoff were let this week by the Southern Pacific Com pany, and work has already com menced on the high bridge to span the Willamette at Elk Rock. This Is the first actual work to be performed in carrying out the plan of the Sou thern Pacific to take Its West Side trains off Fourth street and run them Into the terminal grounds by way of the East Side. During the past few months engi neers employed by the Southern Pa cific have been busy preparing speck flcatlons for this line. After estimat ing the most advantageous tenders for construction, the job of grading was let to the Pacific Coast Construction- Company, and the contract for the bridge was awarded to Robert Wake field. Mr. 'Wakefield has started prelimi nary work on the bridge and the com pany Is now making experimental bor ings to determine how deep the center pier' will have to be sunk to reach a satisfactory foundation. It Is ex pected this pier will have to go down at least 80 feet below the surface of the watnr, which is 65 feet deep at this point. Contractor Wakefield hopes to get this center pier placed before the Winter rise in the Willam ette. The Willsburg cutoff, as the Beaver ton & Willsburg railroad is called, will be 13.5 miles long and will leave the Southern Pacific West Side line at Beaverton, running In a general easterly direction to the Willamette river near Oswego The bridge to be built spanning the river at that point will be a high structure so that steamers can pass under it. The bridge bridge will hag no draw. Steel for this bridge was ordered some time ago by the Southern Pacific and Is now on the way to Portland. Contracts for the construction of the Beaverton & Willsburg call for its completion within a year. It is plan ned to rush the work as much as possible, and it is expected by next . September, unless some unforseen complications arise, trains now being operated on Fourth street will be rout ed across the river by the new bridge to Willsburg, where they will enter the city over the Steel bridge. The construction of the new line, in cluding the bridge will cost in the neighborhood of $350,000. FOSTERS MARRIED AGAIN. After Raising Six Children In 18 Years Couple Were Separated. I). V. Foster and Mrs. Bertha W. Foster were made happy Friday by County Judge Dimick. Mr. Foster ap peared before the clerk's desk and stating that he wanted a marriage license, asked the necessary require ments. He was told that his brjde must be a resident of Clackamas County and It would be necessary for someone to make an affidavit to that fact. "Well," said Mr. Foster, "she lived with me for 18 years, and is the moth er of six children, and she is 38 years of age, and Is just down here from Eastern Oregon to marry me and not a soul in this town knows her." Later In the day, however, this dif-" ficutly was surmounted and the li cense secured. The Foster family was united after several, years of separa tion, and they will make their home in Oregon City. THE MASK OF HEALTH. Few People Are Really as Well as They Look. Cause and Remedy. Many people in Oregon City, both men and women, who believe them selvesto be in perfect health, are of ten lq the greatest danger. The most common cause of 111 health is indigestion, with a myriad of symptoms such as headache, sleep lessness, specks before the eyes, pains in the back and side, distress after eating, etc. ' In the last few years the success of physicians everywhere with Mi-otna stomach tablets has made them known far and wide as the acknow ledged specific for the treatment of stomach diseases. They strengthen the digestive organs so that In a few days the stomach is in such shape that It takes care itself of all the food that is eaten without pain or distress. Howell & Jones give an absolute unqualified guarantee that your mon ey will be refunded unless Mi-o-na cures. They take the whole risk and the remedy will not cost you a penny unless it cures you. y When in Town visit 1 WASSOM'S PHONGRAPH PARLOR Hear your favorite song on an Edison or Victor We sell them on EASV PAYMENTS We have plenty of machines and nearly 2000 records to select from.

The Knocfc-out Blow. v The blow which knocked out Oorbetl was a revelation to the prize fighters. From ihe earliest days of the ring ths knock-out blow was aimed for the Jaw, the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach unches were thrown In to worry and weary the fighter, but If a scientific mas had told one of the old fighters that ths most vulnerable spot was the region of the stomach, he'd have laughed at him for an ignoramus. Dr. Pierce Is bringing boots to the public a parallel fact; that thq stomach. Is the most vulnerable organ out ofhe pre ring as well as In it. We protectburhanHs, throats, feet and lungs, but the'MwIohNwe are utterly indiffer ent to, until disAAfinds the solar plexus and knocks us out.

LIVELY SCRAP AT JUSTIN'S William Meyers and an Austrian Boarder Come to Blows. The residence of Mat Justin was the scene of a lively fight Thursday night and proceedings were interrupted by the arrival of Deputy Sheriff Robert W. Baker and Night Officer Cooke on the scene of action. There are several Austrian countrymen of Mr. Justin boarding at his place ' and William Meyers, who has been working as a butcher in the hop yards at Aurora, came down for a visit with the family, as he is an old friend of Mr. and Mrs. Justin. A party of the Austrians was in the front room enjoying themselves and Meyers went into the kitchen to talk to Mrs. Justin and their children, when one of the Austrians, evidently not realizing that Meyers was a friend of the family, walked Into the kitchen and demanded to know of Meyers what he was doing there. This was. of course, none of the Austrian's busi ness and he was Informed of that fact and he resented the remarks of Mey ers by letting fly a heavy beer glass at the head of the latter. This action precipitated a general mix-up and lnJ the melee Meyers was victorious, as the Austrian has a huge lump on his head. WHY IT SUCCEEDS. Because It's for One Thing Only, and Oregon City People Appreciate This. Nothing can be good for everything. Doing one thing well brings success. Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing only. They cure sick kidneys. They cure backache, every kidney ill. Mrs. Captain C. G. Groves of 824 Raleigh St., Portland, Ore., says: Lapse of time has not lessened the confidence I have had in Doan's Kid ney Pills since February, 1903, when I publicly recommended this remedy. I had used it in treating kidney trouble of several years' standing. It orgln ally started with dull aching In the small of my back over the kidneys. Colds aggravated the trouble and made the pain sharp and acute. "Any extra exertion would bring on a pros trating attack. I had tried various remedies for the trouble without avail, but Doan's Kidney Pills began to help me right after I started using them. They gradually banished the back ache and pain in the loins, strength ened the kidneys and helped me in every way. I can conscientiously rec ommend Doan's Kidney Pills to any sufferer from kidney complaint." Plenty more proof like this from Oregon City people.

E. Clarence Oakley, pastor of the First Congregational Church of this city, was the officiating clergy man. Both the young people are resi dents of Clackamas County. Hops Take Slight Raise. Hops have taken a slightly upward tendency and growers of Clackamas County are surprised and some of them to a very disagreeable extent, as probably half of the hops in the county were not picked at all. but allowed to remain on the vines. In view of the law price and the mould. Very few growers here contracted their crops this year, as the price of fered by the buyers was no Induce ment, and those who were brave enough and had the means to pro ceed with the harvest may have rea son to congratulate themselves before many weeks.
