WW' ' A t J;i&M ' , I Kansas, wrl tea: "I have found Peruna very efleotive In retor!n; my health and utrongth after 1 had been worn out and rnn down for a long time. I began to nae It about six months ago when I was unable to leave my bed. My nervous system was shattered and I was dally losing flesh and strength. This condition was completely altered after a few bot tles of Pernna had been used and I kept on using It until I was finally restored to perfect health and had gained about fifteen pounds. "I feel so grateful for what your medicine has done for me that I am po ised to give It my hearty endorsement and shall always be glad to speak good word for It." Tones up the System. Mrs. William McBoberU, Waverly, Minn., writes : "I am perfectly well of the catarrh. I took Peruna and Manalln. I recom mend your medicine to every one an 1 cannot praise It enough. It is a '.ue medicine to take any season of t if year. Taken In the spring it tones up the system and acts as a gentle stimulant." A Good Tonic Mr. Joe Leonard, Plat 8, 882 Allen St., Buffalo, N. Y;, writes : "I have good reason to endorse Peruna as I have found it a good tonic, stimu lating the systom and sustaining it under great pressure, imparting un usual endurance and enabling me to work muoh longer and harder than the system could possibly do wore it not for the great powers with which it en dowed me. It gives one nerves of iron." Oregon City Courier Wuliam A. Shkwman, Jr., Editor Published Every Friday by Oregon City Courier Publishing Co. Entered in Oregon City Postofflce as Second-Class Mall.

You think, no doubt, that the Dol lar or two that you ship out of town every few days does not affect the prosperity of your home city. But you feel that way about It and your neighbor feels the same way and does the same thine and bo does most ev ery body In Oregon City, and that 1b why this town Is a hard business prop' osltlon. A little civic pride and a little loyalty to our own would go a long way toward building up our City. We won't flourish as long as the groc er eoes out of town to buy his dry goods and the dry goods merchant buys his groceries In Portland, or course it 13 a socret everybody takes It for granted that our merchants patronize their fellow tradesmen In lines they do not themBelvos carry and most every one of them has a little secret that he thinks nobody ever guesses; he smuggles the packages in so slyly you know. But most everybody knows all about It. How would you like to be stood up, Mr. Buslnoss Man, and be required to answer as to how loyal you have been to your own town dur ing the last twelve months. You set this sort of an example and then won der that such a large portion of the trade that should come here, goes out of towu. Will you sign this pledge? "From this time on I pledge myself to pur chase In my own town every article I may require, provided It can, by diligent search and Inquiry, be found here and I promlso to make such search and inquiry, even though my fellow tradesmen do not give enough publicity to their business to lot me know the geuoral lines they are deal ing in or the various lines they endeav or to carry.

(Signed) Perhaps you havn't noticed that we have a few very fine stores in Ore gon City. Of courso they don't make your lots and blocks any bigger nor the houses you own any better; so they can't be of any benefit to you and It is hardly worth your while to pay any attention to them; we were not Suggesting that you do so, but just dropped the remark In passing. Isn't it a "poky" old town, anyway. The fanners throughout the county wish It wore off the map. They don't understand why the proprietors of the stores hide behind the counter when they see the farmer coming with a load of produce and send a clerk out to toll hi in that the boss Is not in to day. They don't understoiid why, when they do happen to catch a mer chant In unawares, that if they havo potatoes he just bought seven car loads yesterday, but might use a couple of sacks at 13 cents under the market price payment In trade of course. Mr. Merchant, don't you think a lit tlo printers' Ink might stir things up at bit? Don't you think the people have about forgotten you have things to sell.

For many years the Stato has been expending immense sums of money for the maintenance of half a dozen normal schools. All tho benefits that have accrued from these Institutions could have been had from a single school and the cost thereof would have been lessened by at least one-half. I'he attendance of each of these schools is made up very largely of resi. dents of its Immediate vicinity. So the normal Bchool becomes In reality a convenience for a small locality at the expense of the whole stato. It is In effect a high schood in each In stance for a certain community sup ported by the general public. The normal school system is now generally recognized as a monumental blunder, but its correction Js accom panied by many difficulties. It is hard to abandon buildings and grounds on which thousands of dollars of the Slate's money have been expended. Tho simple and easy thing to have done In the first place would havo been to exorcise a little practical business sense before entering into the scheme. Tho best thing now to be done is for tho Stato to "pocket Its loss" and get hack on a business basis; that is, to abolish all normal schools but one and consolidate that with the State Uni versity. Clackamas County Is contemplating a move apparently as unwiso us was the establishment of a lot of normal schools. This is the establishment of. a hlghschool In Oregon City to be ' maintained by tho whole County. It i Is not right, equitable or even just. Of course the people are not asked to vote next June for a hlKhschool to be located in Oregon City. They are now I In Spring and Early: Summer a Tonic is Needed. . The source of good blood in fresh air and well-digested food. If anything interferes with diges tion the blood becomes impure. A catarrhal condition of the stomach prevents perfect digestion. Bach a condition allows the food to ferment and decompose in various ways, instead of digesting. The blood is thus contaminated with various materials that do not belong in the blood. This gives rise to spring fever, eruptions on the skin, general lassitude and constipation. Peruna corrects all these difficulties by striking at the source of them. By eradicating the ca tarrhal condition of the stomach Peruna at once restores digestion, the blood is thereby purified, and the whole maohinery of the body is put in working order. Peruna has probably made a more remarkable record in oases of catarrh of the stomach than any ouer medicine. These cases are very frequent, and we have a host of testimonials in which Peruna received lavish praise for prompt and permanent relief in cases oi catarrh or the stomacn Pain In Chest. Mrs. A. W. Gustln, 6200 Lake Ave., St. Joseph, Mo., writes: "When I began taking Per mi a I hud quite a severe pain and ache in the left of lny chost. I suf fered a great deal wllh it. "I wrote to Dr. Hartman and asked him what I should do. lie advised my asked to vote for the establishment of a County high school. The County Court, in case the vote should go for a high school, will have power to fix the location and, to be sure, the loca tion might be the foothills near the head of the Molalla again it might be Oregon City. We might ask, of what benefit to Estacada or the Molalla country or Oswego would be a highschool In Oregon City? The expense of sending a pupil here would be greater than that of sendig him to Salem or Cor vallls, for the reason that living ex penses In a college town are little more than half as much as here. While thearetlcally the pupil would have the opportunity to be at his home Sunday any one who has experienced some thing of college life will testify that the moments of the student who gets along are all numbered and that best results will follow when home life and school life are completely divorced. College students whose homes are lu the town where the school happens to be located, as a well established fact, do not make the record that non-resident pupils do. We do not wish to be understood as under-rating the value of educatlou or the necessity of educational facili ties. This Is merely a warning against the commission of a blunder that would have far reaching effect. A highschool In Oregon City would be In a measure a success or an appar ent success, but In the broader sense this apparent success would be ach ieved at the expense of other school districts. Milwaukee, Oswego, Estacada, Mo lalla, and other districts, no doubt, are now warranted In maintaining in structors In all the branches common ly taught In our hlghschools. But with a portion of the more advanced pupils drawn from these various dls tiicts to a. contral school the work of the Individual districts will bo great, ly hampered. So there Is no escaping the fact that a County highschool will have a disorganizing effect on the higher grades of our district schools. The law already provides for the establishment of a highschool in any district where there is demand for it. This is a wise provision and fully moots the requirements of the case. A public school grows Into a success ful institution. Strange as it may seem a newly organized district or a uewly organized college does not turn out graduates as well equipped or as well "rounded out" and disciplined as does an Institution of long standing. It takes time for the new institution to acquire the "college atmosphere." But the district school grows to be the pride of tho community and the high est grade is the goal toward which first-born ambition turns its yearning eyes. To be fair about this mattor, would not Oregon City and vicinity derive practically the entire benefit from a County highschool? If so, let Oregon City and vicinity maintain such an In stitution. It is said the expense to the Individual taxpayer will be slight. So it has been said of every Item that has gone to raise taxes, "just a little bit." A school building will be the next thing required. Then teachers must be maintained. Poor old Clack amas, bowed with debt and high tax es, cau yet take on a little more If necessary. Hut we can not afford to add another burden that is going to prove a positive detriment to our well organized school system for the sake of creating a few new positions. It la even rumored that the occupants of these new positions have already been determined on and that the clamor for a County highschool does not come from au entirely disinterested source. 888 "WILLIAM Mr. William Hoge, President Broadway, New York, N. Y., writes : "I endorse Peruna as the most effectual remedy for catarrh I have been able to find in my travels in this country or Europe. I can truly say that I have spent thousands of dollars in this country alone trying to find a cure, and it was not until I was induced to give Peruna a trial that I obtained any thing like permanent relief. As a tonlo it is simply great. It ought to be in the grip of every commercial traveler on the road. It cured my wife as wel1 as myself. We have not had the slightest symptom of catarrh for a long time." In a later lotter Mr. Eoge says: "I have used Peruna for manyyears( never without a bottle in my grip. I looking man of my age in New York, taking Peruna, which I did. I took three bottles, and I can say I am cured. "Thanks for kind advice and Peruna." Hay Fever and Catarrh. Miss Mayme E. Smith, 444 East Muuud St., Columbus, Ohio, writes : "Have usod Peruna for catarrh and hay fever. The results being remark This feature Is a matter of no Impor tance however. Those who have a real Interest In our educational insti tutions may well give this question of the establishment of a County high- school their earnest consideration. Putting aside the selflBh instinct that Impells one to favor those things that are of personal benefit or advantage, we, in and around Oregon City must say that we will not, because of our voting strength, impose on our neigh bors farther without an institution in which they will not be lnterester ex cept to the extent of helping to foot the bills. As for this newspaper, on the question, "Shall Clackamas Coun ty establish and maintain a county high school," put us down No! It has been a long time since the Senate has known a debate so earnest and so desperately fought as that waged for four battleships. On one side were the leaders of the Senate, the old and trusted men those ac customed to having their own way; those who look upon the younger Sen. ators as pervenus and freshmen, de serving mostly to be snubbed and haz ed In a parliamentary way. On the other side are with but few exceptions the younger senators not all young er in years, perhaps, but younger in senatorial term and experience. They, It Is believed, were backed by the country because it is known that they were on the side of the President. Every day the debate continued made the presidential deman stronger be cause Senators were hearing in on un certain way from their states, where the President, as is well known, is overwhelmingly strong. The Demo crats held the balance of power and they, from motives of economy, which frequently Influence them, opposed the twelve millions or more of ex pense Involved in building four battle ships Instead of two, and the bill will be defeated In the Senate. But many Democrats are friends of the Presi dent, and on all non-polltlcal questions, friends of his policy. Moreover, they know that thoir constituents, although southern and democratic, are with the many political questions. The Presl Presidont from personal liking and on dent's strongest supporter in the House, Representative Hobson of Ala bama, exuresses the views and senti ments of his section when he urges' appropriations for a powerful navy. The House voted strongly against this appropriation. Members of the House also are hearing in most emphatio language from their constituents and though the Senate has defeated tho bill for additional battleships at this session there can be no doubt that a policy for a stronger navy Is fixed In the minds and hearts of the people and will find expression In future legis lation. Statesmen, politicians and quid mines are looking forward with no little Interest to the advent In Wash ington of President Roosevelt's "own special congress," as the assembly of Governors and other distinguished men, Invited for the 13th and 14th and 15th of May is called. President Roosevelt has indicated five men whom he considers, It Is said, the greatest Americans of the day and they all happen to be Democrats. He has invited Andrew Carnegie. William Jennings Bryan, J. J. Hill, John Mitch ell and G rover Cleveland to meet the governors of the states in conference at the White House next mouth. The main question to be discussed Is the conservation of our natural resourc es, an immensely big subject. It will not be possible, however, to pre vent these gentlemen from talking about other things. Those who re. Mrs. Emily Kellogg, 6649 Gives Her Experience With Peruna.

Eyes Red and Watery. Mr. William S. JTearn, 1003 Segal St., Camden, N. J., writes: "For about two years I was troubled member the funniest caricature pub lished in ten years, the very wide bed with Cleveland on the east side and Bryan on the west, will wonder if there is a bed big enough in the White House for these two antithetical Dem ocrats., Of course, it will be question ed whether these five men are the greatest men In the United States, and it must be confessed that the Presi dent has not so characterized them This Is mostly Inference. A contemporary wonders what Jef ferson would say if he were to appean again on terra firma. It is doubtful if he would say anything for a while, He would be lost In thought. An auto mobile would cause him considerable surprise and an express train at full speed would surprise him more than anything he saw In Eprope, while the Atlantic cable, the telephone and the Mauretania crossing the Atlantic in five days, would complete his aston ishment, that is, provided he is not familiar from empyrean observation with the little things that take place on earth. Why is it that the President submits to all this scrapping in Congress about four battleships? Why does he not have them built in vacation and then present the bills calling for a de ficiency appropriation? Of course there will be the custom ary pretty little speech or resolution of thanks to Mikado Cannon for the fair, just, polite and Impartial way in which he has presided over the fiilli buster in this session of Congress. The only way for men to get even with the Merry Widow hats at the theatres will be to Invent merrier widower hats for the bald heads in the front row. FINGER OF SCORN.
