THE MOBNING OKEGOIttAN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1900.
USE FOR OUR HARDWOOD
TO BE MADE IXTO rLOlVBEAMS,
SPOKES, HUBS FELLOES, ETC.
Factory for the Purpose Is Now "Un
der Construction at Corvallls
Value Is Increasing.
COB.VALi.TS. Or.. May 15. A move
ment has developed here that, promises to
materialize lor the manufacture cf plow
beams, epokes, hubs, ax: as; ax handles
and many other kinds of woodwork lot
use In the manufacture of agricultural
Implements and farm machinery, utilizing
for tho purpose the oak, ash, maple and
other woods that grow in Oregon forests.
The movement is iorn of a belief that
Oregon hardwoods are to become import
ant within the near future, in the manu
facturing world, due partly to a-growing
scarcity of hardwoods in the East, and
partly to experiments which seem to indi
cate that Oregon woeds are well adapted
to tho purpose for which it is proposed
to utilize them.
A plant for carrying the scheme into
effect has already been provided for. A
building 4Sx50. to stories high, has al
ready been begun. It is located on vacant
lots jnst youth of the Corvallls sawmill.
The machinery of the Martyn planing
mill has been purchased, and this, to
gether with new machinery to be tecured.
will comprise the plant. It is expectcd
ta have the factory in readiness to begin
operations within a few weeks. Nearly
every variety of hard wood material for
manufacturing purposes will be within
the range of the output of the new estab
lishment. The chief investor in the en
terprise is E. W. Strong, of the Corvallis
sawmill, by whom a vast quantity of hard
wood lumber has been manufactured and
marketed In the past year. The under
taking is to begin on a limited and safe
"basis, but with the successful Introduc
tion of the new material, the plant and
output will be largely increased.
SEW LIFE AT OREGON CITY.
Movement to Get a Commission
House and Pork Packer'.
OREGON CITY. May 15. There was a
large attendance at the Board of Trade
meeting last night, every seat in the Ccun.
ty Courtroom being filled. The report
of the secretary showed that there were
73 members in good standing, and about
.5100 collected and collectible. The road
committee was heartily commended for
its successful efforts in securing the im
provement of the hatchery ro"ad, and the
sentiment was pretty unanimously ex
pressed that one of the objects of the
board will be to secure the Improvement
of a trunk line road leading into tho city
each year. President Cross suggested
hat a commission-house be established by
x. joint corporation, the stockholders to bs
business men in the city. Among the
articles abundantly produced in Clackamas
""County for which there is no home maTket
were mentioned oats, barley, hay, potatoes
and green and dr.cd fruits. Attention
was called to the fact that during the
week a farmer from Sprmgwater brought
JON pounds of evaporated prunes to town,
but was unable to make a sale, and drove
down on the west side of the river to
Portland to find a market. The remark
was also made that unlets the businera
men here should take the initiative in
providing a market fcr the products raised
in the county, that some John Waasmaker
would come along and establish an im
mense depratment store, taking farm
products in exchange for goods, which
would result in freezing out the small
dealers. W. A. Huntley said that while
an establishment of this kind would be a
benefit to the city and to producers and
consumers, it would have the effect of
driving the smaller storekeepers out cf
business. On motion the president ap.
pointed a committeo of nine to devise a
plan for establishing a market or com-
ssion-hou.e, consisting cf Frank Busch,
K. -G. Caufield, E. J. afcKIttrick, C. G.
Huntley. E. E. Charman, F. T. Barlow,
Sam Selling, G. W. Grace and -J. M. Price.
The matter of a. pork packsry was
pointedly discussed, and, on motion, the
president appointed Charles Albright, C.
I. Latourettc, B. S. Bellomy, George A.
Harding and A. Robertson as a committee

thority to act.

Co. have peculiar markings. The fin had
evidently been removed, but a small one
had started to grow through the scar.
The run of fish last evening and this
morning -was- excellent for this time in
the year, and the fish are pronounced
by experts to be of the character that
usually arrive in the Tiver two to three
weeks later. This is said to presage a
large later run, apd' that the big run of
August will come In July.

E. M. Green, J TV. Wentworth, TV. C.
Johnson, C. P. Bush, Colonel B. F. Shaw,
D. L. Russell, S. N. Secrlst, Joseph Bone.
Milton Harlan and "Walter Seward.
The delegation is regarded as anti
Rogers, upon the gubernatorial question.
The convention Ignored the Vice-Presidential
candidacy of Jaraer, Hamilton
Lewis, and passed a resolution favoring
Charles L. Towne as the running mate
for W. J. Bryan.
Colonel B. F. Shaw was chosen chair
man of the convention, and Rupert Har
rison and F. C. Briggs secretary and as
sistant secretary respectively.
Of the S6 delegated entitled to seats only
about 50 were in attendance. A number
of precincts had failed to hold primaries.
A majority of the delegates were from
the regular Democratic organization, the
Populist wing being but meagorly repre
sented, aside from a few delegates from
this city.. C. P. Bush, Populis:, ex-Repre-centalive
"to the Legislature, was chosen
chairman of the County Central Commit
tee, to serve until the Fall convention.
There was a spirited contest for this
place among four candidates. The others
were: J. TV. TVentworth, formerly chair
man of tho Populist organization; James
A. Munday and S. N. -Secrlst, Democrats,
and John TVuchter. Popuilst.
Resolutions were adopted expressing
sympathy for the Boers, pledging dele
gates to the state convention to vote for
only such persons as delegates to the
j National convention as will pledge them
selves to vote for a direct legislation plank

the nomination of TV. J. Bryan for Pres
ent and Charles A. Towne for Vice-President.
The platform indorses the Chicago
platform, demands direct legislation, con
demns the Philippine ,war, asks for elec
tion of United States Senators by direct
vote of the people, approves action of
Democratic Congressmen in relation to
municipal ownership of franchises and
Government ownership of railroads; com
mends achievements and patrlo.Lsm of
soldiers In the late war, and declares
against trusts and against control of
money by National banks. The Introduc
tion of a radical pro-Boer resolution called
forth a spirited discussion between Har.an
and TVentworth, who favored the resolu
tion, and E. M. Green, who claimed the
object of the resolution was simply to
catch German and Irish votes.

New President Elected More Money
for the Portage Railway.
SPOKANE. May 15.-ColoneI I. N. Pey
toE, of Spokane, was today elected presi
dent of the Central Navigation it Con
struction Company, to succeed William J.
Harris. This is the company that Is
building a portage read on the Columbia
between The Dalles and Celilo, and con
structing steamers to run on the river.
Two hundred thousand dollars additional
was appropriated toward completing the
undertaTdng.
Trustees present were Frank Graves.
Colonel I. N. Peyton. TV. J. C. Wakefield
and William J. Harris. The fifth trus
tee is Senator George Turner, who is at
the National Capital. Paul Mohr. chief
engineer and general manager, was also

"The grading of the portage read is
completed," said Mr. Harris. "The ties
and rails are now being delivered for
laying. The steamboat Billings will be
ready for operation on June 1, and the
steamers Klickitat and Umatilla are
ready to receive the machinery which has

TWO OFFICERS RESIGN.
Thereby Harmony Between Council
sad Mayor of Eugene Is Restored.
EUGENE. May 15. At the regular meet
ing of the City Council last night the
resignation of City Marshal J. S, Stiles
and Nightwatchman B. F. Hawk were re
ceived and accepted. The resignation of
Hawk will take effect Immediately, and
xL O. Brady has been appointed to fill
the vacancy. Stiles will continue to serve
as Marshal for 60 days longer, and his
successor has not been chosen.
The resignation of these two officers re
mit from the refusal of the Council to
confirm their appointment. At the an
nual Council meeting a month ago the
Mayor reappointed them to the positions
which they had been holding for some
years past. The Council refused to con
firm the appointments, and the Mayor an
nounced that he did not contemplate mak
ing other appointments, leaving them to
serve in the absence of any successor?.
From this came a determination on the
part of the Councilmen to see that a
change would be made. There was con
siderable talk as to how removals could
be made, apd a report gained circulation
to the effect that the salaries of the two
officers would be reduced -by the Council
to $1 per month. The resignations of the
officers precluded .anything In th."s line,
however, and the differences' between the
Mayor and the Council are probaby
settled.
A few of the souvenir buttons manu
factured from the captured Spanish can
non were placed on sale in several of
the Eugene mercantile houses this morn
ing, and will undoubtedly soon be taken.

The spring cleaning is a recognition of the fact that dust and dirt accumulate
in the house during the long -winter months. The house appears to he clean.
There is no dirt visible. But the housewife knows that lack of air and sunlight
in closed rooms means an accumulation of dust and dirt. She knows more than
this: She knows that the presence of such accumulations offers a harborage
to disease germs.
The body is a house. Through the long winter months it is closely shut in by
heavy clothing. It lacks sunlight and fresh air. It is weakened by living in an
overheated and foul atmosphere. It accumulates a certain clogging refuse from
the heavy foods necessary to winter warmth. For this reason the body needs its
own spring cleaning. The languor and weariness, the tired and " played-out,n
feelings which are so commonly associated with the spring season are the evi
dences of a sluggish and impure condition of the blood. More than all else, tfeis
impure condition of the blood offers a prepared breeding ground for disease, and
greatly increases the liability to serious maladies.
Everybody recognizes the need bf a blood cleansing remedy in the spring.
The mistake made by many people is to use some alcoholic medicine, which over
comes that "tired feeling" simply by keeping the body stimulated. These so
called medicines are of no real benefit, and do not cleanse the blood.
The first thing to be noted of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is that it
contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, nor any other narcotic. The results
that follow its use are real and. permanent, not the superficial results of stimula
tion. It entirely eliminates from the blood the poisons which feed and breed dis
ease. The result is that it cures eruptions, pimples, blotches, scrofula, salt rheum,
rheumatism, and other forms of disease which originate in. impure blood.
The tonic effect of "Golden Medical Discovery is remarkable. It not only
cleanses the blood of impurities, but it enriches it, and increases its flow by
increasing the activity of the blood-making glands. There is a great deal of talk
about "blood-making medicines." But it is only talk. No medicine can make a
drop of blood. Blood is made from food, after it has been properly digested and
assimilated. " The blood, is the life," but if the body is not fed the life current
fails. . The blood is life only while the body is properly fed and nourished. It is
the recognition of these fundamental physiological facts in the preparation of
"Golden Medical Discovery" to which may be attributed in no small degree its

KI must again send a few lines to you

since taking the wonderful medicine
which cured me two years ago," writes
Miss Bertha Ebeler, of 1416 Benton St.,

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
"It is the best thing for nervousness,
and for a weak, run-down condition,
that anybody could want. I was very
nervous and weak last summer. I took
five bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med

"like a new person. It gives a person
new life and new blood. I can now
work all day long without feeling the
least bit tired. In fact, I feel like a

many as well as the United States from

It Is perfectly well understood In diplo

that unless Congress act6 on the mat.er

not become a purchaser. From the tlm

the sale should not take place. According
