Between $8000 and $10,000 reduc

In wages, made effective Friday In the
mills of the Crown-Columbia Pulp &

about 20 cents per day has been made
in the wages of all unskilled laborers,
but the wages of the machine tenders,
heads of departments, mill Wrights,
machinists, head engineers and fire
men are untouched.
About 125 men are affected. There
were a few men receiving $2.75 per

to $2.50, and down the scale the fol
lowing reductions have been made:
Men receiving $2.70 to $2.50; $2.45 to

concrete and rock work and on other
heavy construction work have been
reduced from 2.50 to $2.20. J. W. Mof
fat, who is in charge of the construc

sense a cut in wages as the raise was
only temporary when made last Sum

affected.
MR. RANDS RESIGNS.
Two Councilmen Will Be Elected from
Second and Third Wards.
The city council's regular meeting
was held Wednesday night, but very
little important business was trans
acted on account of the prevailing
holidays, and the members of the
municipal government did not wish
to take any chances on invalidating
proceedings by passing upon impor
tant questions, . and an adjournment
was taken until next Wednesday
night.
Councilman Ernest P. Rands pre
sented his resignation from the sec
ond ward, to become effective January
1. Mr. Rands was elected two years
ago and had one year to serve. His
business calls him from the city the
greater portion of the time, and for
this reason he tendered his resigna
tion. His successor will be chosen at
the December election, and this va
cancy will cause two councilmen to
be elected from the second ward and
two from the third ward.
Owners of property in block No. 3,
. between Fourth and Fifth streets pre
sented a remonstrance against the
order for the construction of a 6-foot
board sidewalk on the east side of
Water street The council recently
ordered walks built on this street
from Fourth to Eighth street. The re
monstrators are willing to build 4-foot
walks. The matter was laid over
for investigation.
WHAT THE SIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Ut
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about 500
grains of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp
tomspain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma
tism, gout, gravel, disorders of the
eyessight and hearing, dizziness, irreg
ular heart, debility, drowsiness, drop
sy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if
you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
E. W. Midlam .living at 410 Main
St., Oregon City, Ore., says: "Kid
ney and bladder trouble became very
serious with me about six months
ago, and the remedies I used did me
no good as the trouble only became
aggravated. I consulted a physician
and although I faithfully followed the
treatment, instead of getting any re
sults I got worse, if anything. The
kidney secretions were accompanied
by pain and a burning sensation dur
ing the passage, and their too fre
quent action was annoying and em
barrassing. I got Doan'fl Kidney Pills
at Huntley Bros.' drug store and it
was astonishing the effective way in
which they acted on the kidneys. In
a short time all symptoms of the
trouble had disappeared, and the
secretions were restored to a natural
condition and the pain did not bother
me. I can do nothing else than give
all the credit for this to Doan's Kid
nay Pills."

EAT WHAT YOU WANT
Science Has Now Found the True
Way to Cure Indigestion.
A few years ago, when a sufferer
from indigestion went to a stomach
specialist, the result was a rigid diet
list that almost meant starvation.
But the first thing o do in the case
of indigestion or stomach weakness
is to strengthen the muscular walls of
the stomach and intestines, so that
they will care for the food that is
eaten. In no other way can this bo
done as well as by taking a Mi-o-na
tablet before each meal. This re
stores strength to the stomach mus
cles and stimulates the pouring out of
gastric juices,, so that the food is di
gested readily and its nourishment
retained In the Bystem to build up
energy and vitality. )
Do not think the sick headache,
heartburn, bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, spots before the eyes,
sleeplessness and many other symp
toms that are the direct result of in
dlgest'.on, will go away of themselves.
The stomach must be built up and
strengthened' by Mi-o-na before you
can be well and strong, free from suf
fering and distress.
The guarantee that Howell & Jones
give with every 50-cent box of Mi-o-na
to refund the money unless the reme
dy cures, shows their confidence in
the treatment.

best I have ever used." This remedy

A Methodist Minister Recommends
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. ,
We have used Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in our home for seven years,
and it has always proved to be a re
liable remedy. We have found that
It would do more than the manufac
turers'' claim for it. It is especially
good for croup and whooping cough.

Cough Remedy is sold by Huntley
