THE MOKNIKG OREGONIAN, MONDAY. JUKE 16, 1902. 10 SEE THE VALLEY A. 0. U. W. Visitors Will Leave on ExcursionToday. BALEH WILL GIVE RECEPTION Stops "Will Be Mndc at Cliemavra In dian School, Albany, CorvnlHs nad McMInnvIlIe Delegates Spend Sunday Quietly. An excursion up the "Willamette Val ley on the east side as far as Corvallte, returning on the west side, is the program for the Supreme Lodges, A- O. U. "W. and D. of H., today. The excursionists, num bering about 600, will leave the Union Depot on a special train at 8:15 o'clock sharp. Captain E. S. Edwards, chair man of the transportation committee, to whose efforts the great success of the river trips from The Dalles and toJVs torla was largely due, Is 111 and cannot go with the excursion today. It. !. Dur ham, second member of the committee, will have charge of the excursion party and will see that nothing Is left undono that can add to the pleasure of the occa fclon. Precaution has been taken not to overcrowd the cars, and all who go may feel assured of meeting no discomforts. The first stop will be at the Chemawa Indian Training School, where nearly 503 Indian boys and girls are receiving edu cations that will fit them for usefulness In civilized life. This is one of .the largest four industrial schools maintained by the United States Government for the educa tion of the Indian children, and a brlof inspection of the different departments will be an interesting experience for the visitors' from the East. The visit at Salem will bo the chief event of the day. The train will arrive at Salem at 10:30 o'clock and will depart at 12:30, leaving the guests two hours to enjoy the hospitality of their "brothers and sisters" at the capital of the state. A lunch will be served under tho treei in Marlon square, near the banks of the Willamette. The excursionists will arrive at Albany at 1:25, remaining there 15 minutes, and reaching Corvallis (the heart of the val ley) at 2:30. After 15 minutes' exchange of compliments with the A. C-. U. "W.and D. of H. people, the members of the Su preme Lodge will start back to Portland on the west side. They will arrive In Mc Mlnnvllle at 4:15 and depart at i:30, get ting back to Portland at 6:45. What the Visitors Will See. This trip will give the distinguished vis itors a fairly good view of Northwestern Oregon. They will pass through wheat fields that yield from 20 to 40 bushels of wheat to the acre the kind of wheat that secured first premium for flour at the World's Fair at Chicago. They will see scores of hop yards, which later In the season will give employment to thousands of men. women and children, who go out from the cities and live in tents in the groves while they make a few dollars gathering the hop burs used In the man ufacture of yeast and the article that made Milwaukee famous. They will also pass through the prune-growing district where are produced the black-skinned prunes that ought to T)e better known in the East. When the visitors look out over the nlcels-kept prune orchards of the Willamette Valley and see the green fruit almost hidden under dense foliage, it is to be hoped that they will not think of the hard, over-dried prunes that used to be Imported to America from Southern Europe, and which have given the prune its standing as a by-word. The Oregon prune Is meaty not all pit and skin. It has a fruity flavor, is healthful, and, if stewed Instead of boiled, is tempting to the appetite. From Salem alone are ship ped about 4,000.000 pounds of prunes a year, and the acreage is not large. A 22 acre orchard, 7 years old. has been known to produce $3000 worth of prunes, yielding a net profit of 52200. At Albany the excursionists will be In the center of the dairying Industry in the Willamette Valley. They will be in a re gion where the farmers are prosperous, and where the dairy herds are being In creased by Investment of the profits of the industry. Just before reaching Al bany they will cross the Santlan River, which has its rie in the melting snows of Mount Jefferson, and alone whose banks grow the lofty fir trees from which millions of feet of lumber are cut every year. Portland ships more lumber than any other city In the world. The heaviest timber county In the state is here, a few miles up the valley from Albany. It Is In Oregon that lumbermen find trees seven feet in diameter and running sky ward 120 feet without a branch. It was here that the Government contractors sent for a flagpole for the new federal building In Chicago. It is in Oregon that a tree can be cut so as to yield a timber four feet square and 112 feet long, with top and slabs enough left to supply a family with fuel for many months. Undeveloped Resource Abundant. With all Its varied resources, wheat raising, fruit growing, stock raising, dairying, lumbering, hop producing, min ing, wool growing, abundant water power, proximity to ocean traffic, the visitors from the East will wonder that Oregon Is still in Its industrial Infancy. It Is await ing development, and such occasions as the visit of these people to Oregon gives opportunity to spread the Information re garding the vastness of undeveloped re tources. , The weather may be warm today, and dust may be flying. If s-uch conditions should cause the excursionists discom fort, they may get some consolation by thinking of -what may be the weather conditions east of the Rockies. The fol lowing official statement of mean month ly maximum and minimum temperatures for 1900 will phow that Oregon Is neither so cold In Winter nor so hot in Summer as are the Eastern States: Portland.

Morrison answered a number of the statements made by Henry Austin Adams during his course of lectures here and made a number of charges against both the speaker and the Catholic church. He said that Mr. Adams had made statement after statement that was absolutely false, and that he had been dismissed at one time from the Episcopal church. He said that the Cath olic priesthood keep the people in Ignor ance purposely and profit by their super stition. The histories of the peoples who had accepted the teachings of the Reformation were compared with that of Roman Catholic countries to show that the effect of the Reformation had been for tho betterment of the world, and not as Mr. Adams had said, "a fiasco." "I regret," said Dr. Morrison, "that con ditions have come up that force me to speak from the pulpit In controversy. A leoturer has been among us who has spoken of the Reformation as a farce. He came under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Church. At one time he was an Episcopal priest and left this position for reasons chiefly private and that arc not fitting to be spoken from the public plat form. I was surprised upon hearing him to note marks of degeneration both In his words and his statements. His assertions were of a very questionable nature, and many of them absolutely false. He used the name of God flippantly and for amusement many times in an attempt at wit. In his lectures Trinity Church and its pastor were alluded to, and both held up to ridicule. May God grant that our church may never have for Its representa tive one who has so little regard for the truth, who can use the name of his Maker with so little regard. "A large number of Protestante were present and listened to his lectures, yet I grant you there are no Roman Catholics here tonight. They cannot listen to what has not been prepared for them to hear, and which does not bear the Roman brand. "The value of religion can be estimated by results alone. We cannot look into the next world and see what will be the ef fect of certain beliefs held, but must judge their worth by their ability to ac complish something at the present time. I do "hot hold that the Roman church Is all wrong. There Is much that Is good In Rome. We are not unmindful of her charities, hospitals and her missions. She teaches the same virtues as we do. Our contention Is not as to points of similar ity, but regarding the points that make us very widely separated. "We are to Judge by results. What have been these results? From the day 11b- ertv was born In the Briton heart start ed "the downfall of the Roman church. When Martin Luther first saw the light of freedom and the principle was pro claimed, then also was the destruction of the Roman Catholic church proclaimed. "What has been accomplished in the world since this principle of liberty was born? One thing that has been held Is that every one has a right to worship God as a free man, and if the religion of Christ Is not a farce, it is free and univer sal, and God pity that fanatical, narrow, bigoted priest, bishop or pope who will attempt to step between man and this right. In this development we cannot dis associate the prestige of the Anglo-Saxon race since the days of Luther. Spain has held to the Roman creed. Look at Spain; what a melancholy spectacle of depravity. Look at Brazil and Mexico. Now cross over Into Canada and draw a comparison between the two countrlesr where the ef fect of the Reformation has not been felt. The church is the educator of the people. Compare the number of people that can read and write In Roman coun tries with that of British or Americati territories. Look at Spain, Mexico, Italy today. The people bow and crawl before the priesthood. The priests lavishly live on the luxuries and wealth of the land, ex tracted from a superstitious people, kept in Ignorance purposely. "Protestants do not declare perfection, but since the day It threw off the cloak of ignorance and superstition every na tlon that has stoocL-by Its principles of freedom has prospered as never before. "There was no pope before the seventh century. During the first five centuries of the church all bishops were regarded as equal. At the council of Chalcedon an attempt was made to give the Roman bishop some eminence, but It offended some, and they left the council, and from that time sprang the two divisions of the church, the Eastern and the Western, or later known as the Greek church and the Church of Rome. "The Greek church never has been Rom anized." Dr. Morrison concluded by reading the Roman Catholic creed and commenting upon several points In It, and cautioning the people not to be deceived by false statements of popular lecturers. THE CORONATION FUR. Facts Abont the Stoat Which Fur nishes Royal Robes. . London Express; A few facts about the little animal whose skin 1b now In such great demand to make the coronation robes of the peers and peeresses resplendent may not be uninteresting. The stoat, or, as It is gen erally called when In Winter dress, the ermine. Is a little creature much like a weasel,, to which It Is closely allied. The moat marked difference between the two animals Is the somewhat larger size of the former, while Its tall retains theblack tip when the rest of the coat changes Its color to white. It Is only in Winter time that the coat has the whiteness which makes the fur In such great demand, for in Summer tht color of the upper parts of the body is a dull mahogany brown, while the under parts are a pale yellow sulphur. In contra distinction to the pure white of tho weasel. The average stoat Is about S Inches In length, with a tall measuring about four inches. Like related species, the er mine is a very restless, brave and blood thirsty little creature, and can both climb and. swim well.' These animals, which make their homes among rocks and stones, in walls and the like, are to be found in the Northern regions both of Europe and America. In all the more northern parts stoats in variably assume the well-known white Winter dress which makes their fur so valuable an article of commerce. For In stance, this change always takes place In the highlands of Scotland; but In the northern English counties, like Northum berland and Durham, though frequent. It is by no means universal. If we go fur ther south the change of color becomes more and more rare, taking place only occasionally In counties like Cambridge shire and Lincolnshire, while In Cornwall "and Hampshire It Is almost unknown. Most scientists attribute the reason of the change In color to the effects of temocra- ture, but others point out the transforma J tlon has been known to take place in cas?as of captive specimens which have J been continually kent in warm rooms. NEW- CHURCH DEDICATED FIRST CHRISTIAN EDIFICES CONSE: CRATED YESTERDAY. Rev. Charles Relsrn Scoville, of Chi cago, Preaches the Sermon Re vival Services Held. The dedication ceremonies of, the First Christian Church, corner of Park and, Columbia streets, took place yesterday morning. -A large congregation was pres ent when the Rev. Charles Reign Scoville, of Chicago, delivered the "dedicatory ser mon. Dr. Scoville took as his subject, "God So Loved That He Gave." Among other things, he said that infanta In a family were not treated as .well as the grown-up children, and the Lord did not treat the Jews of old In the matter of education as he does the people of today; that the days In the wilderness and tho hardships he forced upon the Jews were a necessary $but a severe lesson, and was probably the only way that could have welded them Into the nationality that re mains unbroken. Comparing the .present with the past. Dr. Scoville said that a nation to be suc cessfully Christianized must have both the Intellect and the heart developed. Greece had failed because It developed the rea son only. Romo had failed because It de veloped only the will, and no attention had been paid to the higher feelings. Tur key had failed because it developed tho heart only. As an illustration he cited the history of Rome. The will was strong ly developed and the citizen cared noth ing for the rights of others and sought only the accomplishment of his own wishes. Like a locomotive lacking the directing hand of an Intelligent engineer, ho scattered destruction. Christianity meant the equal development of the mind and the heart of the people. Nine additions to the membership of the church were received, and when it was mentioned that $3500 was needed for nec essary expenses, the sum of $5200 was sub scribed. In the afternoon services were held and addresses were made by the Rev. Bruce Wolvcrton and C. E. Cllne. of the Metho dist Church; the Rev. Alexander Black burn, of the First Baptist Church; Dr. S. 3L Freeland, of the Congregational Church; Oscar Cox. of the Y. M. a A.. and tho Rev. Albyn Esson, of the Rodney Avenue Christian Church. Response was made by the Rev. J. F. Ghormley, pastor of tho church. In the evening revival services were held by Dr. Scoville and were largely attended. REVIEW OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Dr. E. P. HIII Preaches on "Revision ofConfession of Faith." The sermon at the First Presbyterian Church yesterday morning was an ac count of the General Assemblv which met in New York a few weeks ago. Dr. Hill took as his text Deuteronomy. 1, 6-7: "The Lord, our God. spake unto "us In Horeb, saying. Ye have dwelt long- enough In this mounts Turn you and take your Journey." He made special reference to the home mission meeting held In Carnegie Hall, and to the report of the revision commit tee. Concerning the president's address at the centennial of home missions, the speaker said: "I wish I could make vivid this morn ing that great meeting in Carnegie Hall, and could transmit to you a measure of the enthusiasm of that hour. We on this Coast are accustomed to hearing the cause of Christianity ridiculed. Minis ters of the gospel ore often treated as If they were weak-minded or hypocritical. It Is no rare thing to hear them spoken of as disturbers of the peace. Therefore, In the eyes of a Westerner it was an Inspir ing sight to see the President of tho Unit ed States, whose ability and courage are acknowledged even by his enemies, stand before that great audience while alert reporters by the dozen sat Just before him to take down every word and send it to the ends of the earth and, 'without qualification or apology, announce him self as a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ He said with emphasis that, with out the work of the home missionaries, the life of the pioneers would have sunk perilously near tho level of savages. He said that Christianity has given to the Nation that strength and those ideals upon which Its safety will ultimately de pend. He declared that the labors of the pioneer missionaries had made possible the glorious heritage which we enjoy. We have reason to be profoundly thankful that our President, like the great apostle, is not ashamed of the gospel of Christ." In reference to the revision of tho Con fession of Faith, the speaker said: "What is meant by the 'revision of the Confession of Faith?' Perhaps thero are those here among the younger members of the congregation who do not know what the Confession of Faith Is, while others among even the older ones may not understand the significance of this so-called revision movement. Let me briefly explain. J hold In my hand the Confession of Faith of the Presbyterian Church. It contains 33 short chapters, which treat such topics as The Holy Scriptures,' 'Creation,' 'Christ, the Mediat or.' It was written during the years be tween 1643 and 1649. The Westminster As sembly, which met In London, was com posed of the most learned and godly scholars In the world; men whose knowl edge of Latin, Greek, Hebrew history and philosophy was encyclopaedic, con ferred together during those years for the purpose of arranging In systematic form the teaching of the Bible on 33 topics. "The importance of such an undertak ing must be evident to any one who will give the matter a moment's thought. The Bible teaches certain things concerning Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Church, etc., etc Any one can find out for himself the teaching of the Scriptures on these points If he will take the time and has had suffi cient training In the languages. But the ordinary man has not the time and does not feel competent to decide questions which Involve vast learning. Therefore, those great scholars, after their years of study, were selected to prepare a docu ment for the purpose of explaining the teaching of the Bible on certain desig nated topics. The stntements.whlch these Westminster divines formulated, the Presbyterian Church has been using all these years as the expression of Its faith. It Is our opinion that the decisions to which those men came In tho main ac curately express the teaching of God's Word. We have no superstitious rever ence for the document. We do not be lieve that these men were infallibly guid ed In their work. But we do think that they gave the church a magnificently clear and well arranged statement of scriptural truth. In the course of time, however, it was found that certain mis takes had been made, and that unguarded statements had crept In. Therefore, a year ago a committee was appointed to correct such errors, and also to bring In a short untechnlcal statement of our belief which might be circulated among the people. The committee is called the revision committee, and Its report was the one acted on In New York a month ago. We have not the time to consider the report at length, but there are two or three Items to which I desire to draw your attention. The first work of the commltteo was to formulate a statement that those who accept the Confession of Faith are given the largest latitudes of. be lief concerning the different topics treat ed. The Presbyterian Church has always allowed great liberty In such matters, though Its detractors have insisted other wise. I am going to read one sentence of the prcamble-whlch hencef orth-is' to stand In our confession. I" trust you will never forget tKt It is there. Those who are hostile tb creeds love to tell "how we Pres byterians afetled down to our-confcsslon. and" that one "must surrender his inde pendence; of thought in order to enter our ministry.. Now listen and do not forget. " 'The ordination Vows of ministers, rul ing elders, and deacons require the recep tion ancj adoption of the Confession of Faith" only as containing the sys-, tem off doctrine taught In Holy Scrip tures It is assumed that there may be as many opinions on different doctrines as there are men. But as regards the general system of truth contained in tho Bible,' 'there need be no such divergence; and unless men can come together on as broad a basis as this, such a thing as organized Christianity Is an impossibil ity." Dr. Hill then referred to the changes that had been made In several chapters of the Confession. V i CANNING ALASKA SALMON A Specimen of Western Enterprise In the "Wilds. Day after day and week after week a bright procession of freshly filled cans came rolling down a chute, one a few Inches behind the other. It was not a particularly large plant, and yet the first season saw Just an even 1,500,000 cans roll ing, rolling, rolling always rolling, helped along, tapped, tested and tapped again, by half a hundred Chinamen, who Jug gled them from one process to another with th ease and dexterity of long prac tice, says the New York Sun. The salmon that filled tha cans were caught In the icy waters of the Taku Riven, "which runs Into tho sounds and fjords of Southeastern Alaska not far from'Juneau and the world-famed Tread well'mlnes. In February there was nothing there but a qulel land-locked harbor with huge snow-cqvered mountains rising straight out of the black, ley-cold water. Deep In Its bosom, by a small stream, were the ruins of a deserted Indian village, the largest building of which had been the smoking and drying-house where the sal mon had been preserved In the old-fash-iOned way. Studded round the shore and on the point At the entrance of the harbor were graves covered with snow. In these were little bojees, native made, without nails, holding a, few charred bones, some ashes, and perhaps a strangely-fashioned pipe, with a roll of leaf tobacco for use In an other possible state of existence. Into this scene came bustling and puf fing, a small steam launch. Some men landed and staked out a site for the can nery, posting the requisite legal notice among' the graves, and departed. Civilization was represented by that little scrap of paper, and It meant that even the graves would soon bo but a memory. Soon a larger steamer came cautiously feeling Its way Into the bay and landed a gang of men to clear the ground and cut piles. In a few days there arrived another steamer with more men; this time car penters with many thousand feet of lum ber. In an Incredibly short space of time the cannery was up- and the Chinamen's quarters, were ready. One afternoon the last remnant of re pose was broken by the shrill shriek of the whistle. Chinamen had come up from Seattle to make the cans from the sheet tin and, later on, to stuff them full of salmon. Shuffling and Jabbering, they made their way from the half-finished pier through the snow to their quarters. With them came their season's provisions, done up In many colored mattings, and each had his bundle of household goods, con sisting of opium smoking outfit and an umbrella. The next day each Chinaman had his particular task allotted him. This task was kept up with never-falling regularity and monotony which make Chinese labor the one above all others suitable for can nery work. A little brown man, of any age you like, worked a top-making punch. He had on the lightest cotton shirt and trousers, though It war still cold, and worked the lever with one foot, ,at each lunge of which a finished top rolled off 'the die Into a box. This went on hour after hour, day after day, from the beginning of April to the end of September, when he pocket ed $600 for his work and went dome. He said he had done this for 25 years. Other Chinamen cut sheets of tin Into the necessary sizes which another gang made with a stroke of hot soldering Iron Into the body of the can. A machine fit ted and soldered the bottom on while the man with the automatic leg made the tops. In five weeks half a million cans were made and ready for the fish to come. On the 1st of February there was not a foot-print to be seen on the snow In Taku harbor. On the 1st of May of the same year a modern cannery, worth $125,000, with one-half million cans made and a large storage plant attached was up and ready for business. Then the salmon came. There are seven distinct species In Taku River, and -each had Its date of arrival from the sea at the spawning grounds. First the king salmon the largest and finest if them all; his date was from May 10 to May 15. Then' the sockeye. Just In time for the Fourth of July. In thh he shows hit good sense, as the Indian fishermen in variably are all drunk on, and a few days after, that date, and consequently he has a good start up the river unmolested. Later come the cohoe, then the silver, and mixed up with the latter -two, the steelhcads, a game looking salmon, with all the appearance of a huge trout, and last of all the dog salmon. The last, irhtle a fine fish, are not so ntuch sought after, os their flesh Is very white instead of red, which Is the color most desired for canning purposes. In all the bays an? looking Into every tiny stream on the coast was the hump back salmon, the degenerate, the unsight ly, and till lately much despised, hump back. He was not really such a disrepu table looking fish when he first appeared, but as soon as he tasted fresh water he changed color and developed a hump of formidable dimensions and appearance. His beak grew and curved over, giving him a most truculent expression. At the some time his body got thin and his eye wild. With the lady of his choice, he. like all .his better-looking relations, splashed and worked himself up-stream, getting badly knocked about on the way by rapids and boulders. At last a likely spot was reached a smooth, gravelly pool with a current of Just the right strength. A nest was made by means of tall and beak Just a scoop ing out of the gravel and the eggs were laid. Then came trouble. Trout have a weak nets for salmon eggs as an article of diet, and think they have been laid for their special benefit, and the salmon, both Mr. and Mrs., had their work cut out to save even a small percentage of their family of two or three thousand. This constant fighting, laying a few doz en eggs and then fighting again, began to tell on them. They got frayed out and unhealthy looking; fins and skin began to disappear, and they grew weaker .and weaker. Bears fshed for them with great success, and finally the battle of life be came too great to be borne, and the parent fish iled and rotted on the banks or were eaten by bears and eagles. Meanwhile the cannery had been busy eating up Its thousands of salmon. Some of the canning machines were almost hu man In their Ingenuity, one in particular the filling machine. This received tho cuts of fish as they dropped from the slicing machine, grabbed a section, cut off Just an even pound, and' with a long plunging arm. stuffed It like lightning into a can, which it held, so to speak. In tho other hand, and then chucked the full can out to make room for another, at the rate of 70 and 0 a minute. The work'of this machine used to be done by squaws by hand. The cannery had not been In operation long, before the Indians came straggling In, some looking for employment and some ,for other motives. One day an old man with his squaw appeared and Intimated by means of an Interpreter that he had a bone to pick. It seems that the store nnd office had been on the top of his grandfather's RE'STHEWAYHOW If You're "Thinking About It," This Is the Plan. At an expense of but four or five dol lars and the cost of cartage (usually two or three dollars, and which Is refunded If piano is rented for six months), you can rent a fine new upright piano of your own selection from us for one month. You can keep this piano from month to month as long as you decide to pay rent. You can sepd it back as soon as you care to, or should you decide to keep It six months or a year at rent and then pur chase, you can do so, and we will allow from the price all that has been paid us in rent and cartago except a little Interest. You can then arrange to pay off the bal ance In small sums month by month. 'Very many people put off getting a piano without any good reason whatso ever. For such the renting plan Is well adapted. You can rent until you are quite satisfied that you wish to have a piano permanently, and that the instrument you have taken is a good one; you can then purchase If you so decide, and all that has been paid us, as we have said before, wUl be allowed from the price. To the many who have been "thinking about it" for so long we suggest the rent ing plan. Go to Ellers Piano House this week today. Take a piano at rent now; purchase later If it then seems agreeable to do so. gr.ave, and unless ho got $3 at once. It must go, cannery-nouses and all. He said he was a chief, and produced papers which he carried carefully wrapped up in many envelopes to prove It. His papers were cruel hoaxes that peo ple, waggishly Inclined, had got up for him, at his request, to show that ho was a big chief. One In particular, most high ly prized, was almost covered with cigar wrappers and blue revenue stamps off cigar boxes. The last was decidedly In sulting, even Intimating that the bearer had at one time been in Jail for selling home-made whisky to other Indians, but the poor old boy thought no end of it, and would not show It to every one. The squaws came with baskets for sale, beautifully made, but all dyed with ani line dyes. Some had been educated at missions, and could speak English, and some could, but wouldn't. One squaw seemed vexed about some thing, n& the Interpreter said that one of her baskets had been stolen coming down on the steamboat. When asked ''Who took it?" she, who had apparently not understood a word of English, sala equally as quickly and plainly, "I'm damned if I know." As soon as the Indians made a few dol lars by fishing they would make a break for Juneau and the white man's whisky, or else stay on the premises and buck the fan-tan game that was always going on In the Chinese quarters. This was greatly to the benefit of the heathen Chinee, who by ways that are dark and trlcks-that are vain, would speedily aseimllattwthe red man's dollar, and then politely but firmly eject him. The Pacific Coast supplies the world with canned salmon. Last year the total pack amounted to 11,000,000 cases. In spite of 30 years' fishing the salmon were never so plentiful on Puget Sound, as they were last season. The Government Is keeping a watchful eye on the Industry, and no doubt in time will made every cannery keep up a hatch ery and turn out Into the streams so many fry for every salmon caught. m ' Rumor of Another Red Boy Strllce. BAKER CITY. June 15. There was a ru mor on tho street last evening that there was another rich strike in the Red Boy mine. Mr. Taber, one of the owners of the mine, was In the city, and when asked If he knew anything about the new strike, he said that he had not been out to the mine for several days and did not know what they were doing. The story on the street was to the effect that the new ore body opened up showed a splendid vein of ore that assayed from 1750 to $S00 per ton.

It Is quite commonly the case that both husband and wife are somewhat similarly troubled with coffee-drinking. A lady writes, and. after giving descrip tion of her husband's relief from coffeo dyspepsia and general nervous trouble, says: "I was almost as bad as he, having the headache nearly every day, and was nervous and weak, did not sleep well, .was pale and thin and had a bad complexion. "When I found how much good Poatum. Coffee was doing Husband, I concluded to use It. and I tell you life Is altogether a different thing. I eat and sleep well, and Jook like a different woman. My usual weight for years was from 93 to 100 pounds; I now weigh 10S pounds, nnd even' one tells me how much better I am looking. "I had some friends who did not like Postum. but knowing It was because they did not boll It long enough, I made some at their fibuse one day, and they agree wlth-me that Postum is a delicious bev erage, and while, of course, the flavor and taste Is pleasing, and we are glad Postum does suit us that way, the great advan tage Is In the wonderful, bounding health that he have recovered."
