MR. and MRS. WILBERT THOMPSON,
801 Main St., Peoria, 111;
MULL'S GRAPE TONIC CURED HIM.
Wilbert Thomoson never knew a. well dav until last Tone he had been constipated all his life manv
- doctors treated him, but all failed to even help him his health failed rapidly and oo January 21
J 903, Mrs. Thompson asked us to suggest a treatment for her husband We thought the case
too serious and recommended that a specialist be consulted but he also failed to help the
patient NOW HE IS WELL. . , .
Mull's Grape Tonic Cured Him
Mrs. Thompson first wrote us as follows: "My husband, seed 23, suffers from sharp pains In his stomach and
sometimes thinks It Is his heart. Let me know by return mall what causes the pain, U you can. Mr. Thompson
has been treated by several doctors, but they have given him up."
We promptly advised that a first-class specialist be consulted. We quote: "We want to sell Mull's Crape
Tonic, because we know It will cure constipation, but 50c. a bottle Is no object to us when a human life Is at stake,
and if your husband's case Is as serious as you state, we suggest you consult a reliable specialist, not the advertising
kind, promptly." At the same time, knowing that Mull's Grape Tonic could do no harm, we advised Its use until a
Dhvsiclan could be consulted. January 25 Mrs. ThoniDSon wrote that a physician had been consulted. He diag
nosed the case as being chronic constipation and dyspepsia. His treatment was followed faithfully, but there was
no perceptible Improvement in Mr. Thompson's health. Then he began taking Mull's Grape Tonic and on Sept.
S, 1903, we received the following letter from Mrs. Thompson:
"You will remember- that I wrote to you last Januarw in regard to my husband's health. It
is four months since he quit taking Mull's Grape Tonio for constipation, whloh he suffered from
sinoe birth. He took Just 24 bottles of it and is perfectly cured. He is much stronger and has
gained considerably in flesh. I cannot thank you enough for Mull's Grape Tonlo. 'It is worth Its
weight in gold.' dust SI 2 cured him and he has spent hundreds of dollars with doctors who did
him no good. Now I want to state my case to you and expect your early reply. I also have consti
pation, have had for three years. Kindly let me know as I am sure It will cure me if you say It will,
as it did all you claimed it would In my husband's ease. I await an early reply."
Very respectfully yours, MRS. W. H.THOMPSON, 801 Main St., Peoria, III.

Portland Consolidated People Behind the
Project.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 13
of the Citizens' Light & Traction Com
pany, in this city, who returned from
Portland tonight, announces that the
party of Eastern capitalists behind the
Portland Consolidated Railway Company
has purchased all the interest in the local
plant heretofore owned by I. W. Ander
son, of Spokane, and the Arm of Rhodes,
Sinkler & Butcher, of Philadelphia, and
will take immediate possession.
Among the principal projects of rail
way extension contemplated by the. new
management is the connection of Salem
and Portland by electric railway to be
promoted in the near future. Extensive
building of lines out of this city and
I southward through the Valley is also
Manager Welch j ,,ontPmnlated.
Negotiations for this sale have been
pending for some time, but have been
conducted very quietly. The Philadelphia
capitalists who sold out their interests
came to Oregon two weeks ago and look
ed over the property here and since that
time have been in Portland arranging the
details of the deal. The consideration of
the sale is not known, nor was ' the
amount of the interest sold made public.
The local company is capitalized at
ELECTRIC
s
LIGHT I
$200,000 and owns not only the electric
light, street railway, and electric power
plant, but also the gas plant. The com
pany has an option on water powers on
the Santiam near Mehama and through
its agents has an option on the purchase
of a source for a water supply for a new
water system for Salem.
Since the present management took
control of the local street railway system,
many important improvements have been
made. Heavy rails have been laid, larg
er cars of greater speed have been put
in use and the old narrow gauge tracks
have been made standard gauge. Rails
and ties have just been purchased and
distributed for an extension southward
to the county rock quarry and the line
will in all probability be extended im
mediately to Liberty, four miles south.
Plans of the new owners of the con
troling interest concerning the commence
ment of construction work between here
and Portland are not known at present.

On next Saturday evening, at Shively's
Opera House, Manager Shively calls par
ticular attention to the calibre of at
traction he has secured for that date,
which is a special production of that
standard and famously successful play
"Fabio EomanI," a dramatization of the
noveltic event in the brilliant career of
that wondrous writer of picturesque fan
cy and deeply imaginative fiction, Marie
Corelli. Among the numerous world
read and popular books of this famous
writer, there have been but two thus
far dramatized. "Helena" and "The
Vendetta." The latter being the novel
from which "Fabio EomanI" was adopt
ed for stage presentation. It relates the
story of a wife, who, through her infat
uation for another man, causes her hus
band to be buried alive, and his vow of
vengence. Directly after his entombment
occurs the terrific eruption of Mt, Ve
suvius, followed by his escape from the
living purgatory, and the death of his
unfaithful wife and paramour. The
scenes are laid in Naples, and the action
takes place in the seventeenth century
and is of course, correctly costumed and
scenically accurate. A story such as
this, unless carefully treated and dealt
with by a master hand, would possibly
border on the sensational, but in the
manner presented and with the excellent
cast employed, it can be truthfully des
cribed as a dramatic classic, and as such
"Fabio Roman!" has appealed to and
aroused the enthusiasm of the intelli
gent theatre goers for the past five years
its popularity ever on the Increase.
SALTING BUTTER.
EARLY FALL PLOWING.
Fall plowing is the next work to occu
py the farmer's attention. This should
be done as soon as possible after the
harvest season is over and before the
busy work of the fall begins. There are
good reasons for advising early fall plow
ing. The main reason is to conserve the
soil moisture and prevent its escape
from the use of the fall sown crop. When
cultivation ceases there is a crust formed
on the soil that aids evaporation and the
aim is to prevent the evaporation if the
moisture is to be kept where it is need
ed. Plowing breaks the crust and forms
a sort of mulch on the surface which
holds the moisture in.
When there are weeds and grass plow
ed under it gives them a longer time to
decay before the fall crop is sown. Pro
fessor King, who has made many experi
ments along this line, says that there is
a strong tendency in -climates where
there is plenty of soil moisture for early
fall plowing to develop nitrates, which
are plant food most likely to be wanting
in the soil.
Plowing also prevents the growth of
weeds after the other crops are taken
off. Now the ground is generally In
good condition for plowing and later -it
may be hard and difficult to plow, as
the fall is usually dry- The great amount
of rain that has fallen this summer can
be stored up in the soil for future use.
The so-called dry farming that is attract
ing so much attention in . the arid west
is only an observance of this fact. They
make the amount 'of moisture they have
Boston requires much salt in butter,
while some buyers in the New Tork mar
ket require scarcely any, says Prof. G.
A. Menzies, of Kansas Agricultural Col
lege. The butter maker must cater to
the markets with regard' to the amount
of salt to use, as he does with regard to
color. For instance, it is perfectly pos
sible under certain conditions to get a
higher percentage of salt in butter by
salting at the rate of one ounce per
pound than is possible under certatin con
ditions by salting at the rate of one
and a half ounces. The means that un
der certain conditions of salting more
salt is lost than under others. When the
butter is salted before the wash water
has had time to drain away, any extra
amount of water remaining will wash an
extra amount of salt out of it. It is good
practice, however, to use a little extra
salt and drain less before adding it, as
the salt will dissolve better under these
conditions.
Small butter granules require more
salt than large ones. The reason for
this may be stated as follows: The sur
ace of every butter granule is covered
with a thin film of water, and since the
total surface of a pound of small granules
Is greater than that of a pound of larger
ones, the amount of water retained on
them is greater. Small granules have
therefore the . same effect as insufficient
drainage, viz., washing out more salt.
The shape of the granules causes more
water to be retained, hence we get
larger overrun from thick cream, as the
granules are more ragged in shape.
Salt adds flavor to butter and material
ly increases its keeping quality; very high
salting, however, has a tendency to de
tract from the delicate aroma of butter,
while at the same time it tends to cover
up slight defects in the flavor. As a
rule, a butter maker will find it to his
advantage to be able to salt his butter
rather high.

Col. S. Rlplnskl, of Southeastern Alaska
the Guest of Oregon City Friends.
Col. Sol. Ripinski. a resident of south
eastern Alaska, for the past 23 years,
visited this week 1 in Oregon City, the
guest of Mr and Mrs. W. L. Block. Col
Ripinski is a prominent resident of the
northern country and of him the Seattle
Times printed the following sketch on the
occasion of his recent visit to that city
Everybody In Alaska knows Col. Rip
inski, and he is worth knowing. He
claims to be a Pole, talks Russian fluent
ly.looks like a Hebrew, so far as his pro
me is concerned, but when he comes
bearing down upon orie with his big red
face wreathed in smiles he has all the
resemblance of a German. He was United
States commissioner to " Alaska under
Judge Johnson, was the first man to
spring the idea of territorial government,
has been working for it ever since, and
confidently expects to see the day when
Alaska will be a state sovereign, great
and free.
Is A Painter of Ability.
He's quite a character, is Col. Sol Rip
inski. He is a painter of no mean ability.
Some of his off-hand pen sketches that
he brought down with him are beauti
ful. He was a colonel on Gov. Thayer's
staff in Oregon twenty-five years ago,
and, all told, his has been a life of var
ied phases.
Col. Ripinski left Alaska about ten years
ago and went to Portland to go into
business. He was there three days and
got so lonesome that he went back to
Haines Mission, where he has lived ever
since, "and where I will continue to live
until I die," as he put it "to a reporter.
He is a little short, fat man, is the col
onel. His head sits squarely on his big,
broad shoulders, and his face is like unto
a harvest moon. He has a regular CapL
Kidd mustache, and is proud of it. He
talks with a delightful brogue that is a
mixture of Russian Polish, English and
Dutch, and he makes so many gestures
when he talks that if you should tie his
hands he would be as dumb as a clam.
The man who could produce that brogue
on paper would make a fortune.
It has been said of Col. Ripinski that
J he has done the Indians more good than
any other white man who ever went Into
Alaska. He is a friend to them all, and
they go to him always in times of sick
ness or trouble. He has had a good bit
of trouble himself with the government
over the question of .his title to the town
site of Haines Mission, but at last the
United States land office gave way, and
now, for the first time in six years, he Is
outside for the purpose of enjoying him
self.
His Teaching Did Not Kill Them.
"I went to the Aleutian Islands twenty-three
years ago this month" said Col.
Ripinski yesterday afternoon, "to take
charge of the education of the Indians
for the government. I guess I did a good
job. Anyway, when I went there I found
1500 Indians on the peninsula, and they
were a fine, healthy, splendid race. Now
there are less than 200, all told, and
they are dying out rapidly. An Indian
in that part of Alaska will be a curiosity
twenty years from now. I hardly believe
it was my teaching that killed them off.
I just guess they couldn't stand civili
zation. "I don't' look as though I was starved,
do I?" he asked in answer to a question.
Bless you young man, we have all the
bear and deer meat and limberger cheese
we can possibly eat. And that isn't all
not by any means. This summer I per
sonally raised strawberries at Haines
Mission that measured five and a half
inches in circumference, and I have the
photographs to show for them. Further
more, we raise cabbages that weighed
eighteen pounds to twenty pounds each,
and they were firm, hard heads of cab
bage too. All kinds of vegetables grow
much larger up there than they do down
in this country. We live on the fat of
the land up there, and I never want a
better place to live in. It's the garden
spot of the earth, beyond question. Hunt
ing is fine, and I love to hunt.
"The idea of an Alaskan fair in Seattle
in 19p7 is to my mind a grand one," he
continued, in his genial off-hand sort of
way. "I have what ' is considered to be
the finest private collection of curios to
to be found anywhere in Alaska, and I
will be pleased to send it down here.
Of course, the fair will be knocked in
certain parts of Alaska, but you will
find a majority in favor of such a propo
sition.
Need to Learn of Alaska.
So much stuff has been printed in
Eastern newspapers about Alaska being
a land of ice and snow that we need
just such an Institution to tell the peo
ple east of the mountains what a land
of sunshine and flowers we have up there.
Of course, we grow Icebergs in spots.
and they are large, healthy ones, too,
but they are not as numerous as flowers.
Everyone I ha.ve talked to Is in favor
of that Seattle-Alaska fair. I believe
Seattle should send out a definite state
ment as to what she will do toward such
proposition and what steps she will
take to make the exhibition a permanent
one in this city. Once that is done and
Alaskans see that Seattle is in earnest
about the matter you will get all the
support you need from the far north."
Col. Ripinski will remain in Seattle
for some days. He has a host of friends
in Seattle. He intends to pay personal
visits to them all. He will also spend a
few days in Tacoma, and then after a
visit at the Portland Exposition, will re
turn to his home at Haines Mission.
"Passing into Gallery B, the mood oc
casioned by the Intimate enjoyment of
the impressionists' pictures Immediately
gives way to the influence of v the older
masters. This gallery is rich in a fine
collection of Barbizon pictures, amongst
which is the celebrated 'Man With the
Hoe,' by Millet. This picture has not
been seen publicly for many years and
was loaned to this exhibit by Mrs. W. H.
Crocker, of San Francisco. Few pictures
have ever been so widely known and so
popular as this one, and yet all that has
been said or written about it fail abso
lutely to touch the heart of its impres-
siveness or set forth its solemnity.
Even with masters the production of so
masterly a work Is most rare. This pic
ture is the epitome of peasant labor, mora
real, than any one individual peasant
condition in nature. It is not realistic to
the extent of illustrating the materiaL
It seems to be the tempermental result
of a dominating point of view and a. deep
absorption in the emotional significance
of the motive. That great insatiable de
sire to say the vital truth in its greatest
and most general sense was the influence
which guided the poet-painter infallibly
from the realistic to the real, selecting
unerringly from the vast bewildering
mazes of beautiful, distracting, seductive
nature those few vital steps to its very
heart and the fountain head of Its de
sire. The tired peasant leaning upon his
heavy tool, and with lips apart gazing in
to the light rises far above a particular
character or model, and symbolizes peas
ant toil." From an interview with Frank
Vincent Du Mond in Pacific Monthly for
September.
