ASKS BUT FAIR PLAY
Position of Carey irrigatioh
Jsts Set Forth.
MUST RECLAIM AND COLONIZE
Bent Intercut of State Require That
Operations 'Under Both Laivs Be
Prosecuted, Xot That One Be
Used to Kill Other..
"I should like to correct some misap
prehensions regarding the Irrigation
question," said A. M. Drake, who is at
the head of the Pilot -Butte Development
Company, in speaking of the matter yes
terday. His company has begun opera
tions In ttte Upper Deschutes Valley and
has made a certain amount of progress
toward reclaiming a large area or arid
land. Mr. Drake went into that country
an began his surveys for reclamation
works before the Oregon Legislature ac
cepted the Carey act. When the Oregon
law was passed he brought his enterprise
under its provisions and It now rests
there. "A little Information on the sub
ject may serve to relieve the uncalled
for tension of the Irrigation situation,"
he continued, "and avoid complications
that could only result In detriment to
the state and all concerned.
"The state should unquestionably strive
to secure all possible Benefit from the
national fund, but if complications arise
that precipitate litigation that object will
be defeated. The United States officials
have distinctly stated that they would
undertake no operations where they were
likely to be embarrassed. They have
asked that fields for operation be recom-it-nded,
since those known tov them are
already occupied, or in process of occu
pation, under the Carey act. Accordingly
some misinformed people Jump at the
conclusion that the Carey projects. In
some unexplained way, seek to inter
fere with and defeat the national opera?
tlons. A great hue and cry is raised
against them. Wholesale and Indiscrim
inate denunciations are Indulged, hitting
others besides those aimed at, and en
gendering more strife. Personal animos
ities started the trouble, and now many
companies whose plans have not yet met
final approval, but who have made large
expenditure of both time and money In
securing rights In desirable fields, under
the sanction and encouragement of law,
both state and, national, are threatened
with molestation and confiscation for no
other reason than that their fields might
suit the Government. The fact Is Ignored
that effort and money were expended to
demonstrate and secure these fields be
fore the national act was dreamed of.
"Very naturally the Carey people, who
have met with all kinds of obstacles and
delays, are alarmed, though personally It
gives me but little concern. My contract
with the state has been approved and
signed. The contract between the state
and the Secretary of the Interior only
awaits his signature, all the plans and
lists having been checked up. Mr. Newell
has personally assured me that no inter
ference would be attempted. The state
would not permit such an outrage of jus
tice :such an act of bad faith. It could
not afford t6 Impair the security of in
vestment within her borders, particu
larly when Interest in her resources Is
now being awakened throughout the land.
It behooves us to keep cool, with a single
eye on the object In view, namely, the
reclamation and settlement of an arid
district. Whether under 'the new law
or the Carey act, the same end will be
attained.
"Is it not policy to strive for the ut
most benefits under both acts? It would
be folly to strangle the Carey projects
to secure one Government project, when
the Carey projects will be expending sev
eral times as much as the Government.
Furthermore, the Carey projects must
colonize their lands to get their money
back, while under the new law there are
no such agencies. This is the opinion of
Wyoming, where the Carey act has had a
fair trial and proved phenomenally suc
cessful. "Let those who denounce it investigate
and learn what they are talking about.
The Carey act is Itself one form of na
tional work, though the Government does
not furnish the capital. The effect is
practically the same. There certainly Is
ample field In Oregon for national effort,
which can be easily found without swoop
ing down on the Carey projects and de
priving them of the Just fruits of their
enterprise.
"I like the fair tone of Mr. "Halm's In
terview as reported Jn Saturday's Ore
gonian. If his committee will act in that
spirit, it will secure co-operation from
all sources, which will be more to the
purpose than fighting one class against
the other and crippling If not killing
both.
"My project, being one or the Des
chutes enterprises. Is so frequently com
mented upon as being In a favorable
field that It Is . but natural for your
casual reader to Infer that all this gen
eral abuse is directed at us, and that I
am the exponent of irrigation who is so
unduly exercised. This is not the case,
and such general remarks are very mis
leading. As comments which appeared
regarding the qualifications of an engi
neer in Irrigation work might have been
misconstrued as applying to our engineer,
Mr. L. D. Wiest, I feel it but just to
him to correct such impressions, since he
Is especially qualified having had sev
eral years' experience in this line in Wy
oming under Mr. Elwoll Mead's regime.
"Let me say that if Mr. Hahn's "com
mittee thinks we ought to abdicate in
favor of the Government after spending
2& years In demonstrating the p'ractl
cablllty of our field, and acquiring the
necessary rights and right-of-way, we will
not feel like opposing the general senti
ment of the state, but, we should expect
honorable treatment and fair play."
AT GAMBLERS' FORT.
police Batter Chinaman's Door, Bat
It Is Opened by Blantl Sport.
For over one hour last night. Sergeant
Church and Policemen Carpenter, Jamie
son and Wilkinson battered at a door
covered with steel leading to a Chinese
gambling house on Second street near
Alder, and just when they were begln7
ning to tear the inside of the door to
pieces, a sleepy voice said, inside the
room: "Me open doo'." Then the door
was turned on its hinges. A search was
made for the Chinamen who were thought
to have been playing there, but they had,
as usual, escaped by means of a secret
doorway at the rear. Chinamen of various
degrees of importance came and Inspect
ed the battered door, and when they saw
it they chuckled knowingly.
"You should not hammer down the door.
We would have opened It," grumbled one
heathen, who spoke good English.
"Why did you people then not open the
door, when we first arrived and knocked
for admittance?" demanded Sergeant
Church. "Look-out man, him asleep," ex
plained one guileless-lcoklng Chinese.
The door which was partially destroyed
last night is strong, but it not the strong
est in Chinatown's gaming houses. (One
Chinese who was seen last nlglit asserted
that three steel-covered doors leading to
Second street gaming houses are Impreg
nable to assault so far as sledge-hammers
are-, concerned, and that the only force
they fear is dynamite.
Sunday night's raid at the southwest
corner of Second and Oak streets, oppo
site the police station, was succussful In
a financial sense. Sergeant Church went
to storm the Second street door, bat an
officer sent to assault the door on Oak
street, hammered at the wrong door, and
the Chinese escaper by calmly walking
through the very doorway the policeman
had been told to watch. But all the same
the police entered the gaming house and
gathered in $100 i5 found on one of the
gaming tables.
EXHIBIT OF THE STATE
Board of Trade Decides to aialce It
Complete.
An exhibit of Oregon's resources, a com
plete index of the productive wealth of
the state, Is the goal of a number of public-spirited
cLHzens. They are going at
it at once anil they will not let any grass
grow under their feet while they are do
ing it. Coupled with, the exhibit will be
an information bureau. "Portland and
Oregon- need nothing, more than this," Is
the cry- "It will furnish channels for
the great tide of Immigration headed this
way. The newcomers must be Informed.
They must be guided."
The committee which will launch the en
terprise Is:
Seneca Smith.
William Killlngsworth.
J. M. Moore.
I. G. Davidson.
Frank Drake.
W. E. Coman.
B. B. Miller.
From the last two members of the com
mittee, W. E. Coman, general freight and
passenger agent of the Southern Pacific,
and R. B. Miller, general freight agent
of the O. R. & N., It Is seen that the rail
roads are Joining in the enterprise. The
project was started by the Board of
Trade, which appointed the committee
and secured promise of co-operation from
the O. R. & N. and Southern pacific.
The object is to make the exhibit thor
oughly representative of the state. The
present exhibit In Portland is deemed in
adequate. Assistance of the several coun
ties of Oregon will be solicited. Agricul
tural and horticultural, lumbering and
manufacturing, stockralslng and fisheries,
mining and dairying, will all have their
products In the display. In connection
with the display will, be a bureau of in
formation to tell about these Industries,
and their capability of development and
about other resources that can be made
to yield streams of golden wealth.
The above committee will get together
in a day or two for the formulation of
plans. The Terminal Company has of
fered the free use of rooms In the Union
Depot for the exhibit. The railroads
have promised to contribute displays and
to give free transportation to products
Intended for exhibition. It is believed
that they will also gjve free transporta
tion to the persons who may go abroad
over the state In the Interest of the ex
hibit. Citizens of Portland, will be asked
to meet the other expenses. These ex
penses will amount to between $200 and
$500 per month.
A further plan is to get an appropria
tion from the State Legislature. If money
can be obtained In this way. the exhibit
can be broadened Into a general Informa
tion and- immigration bureau.
All this was discussed at last night's
meeting of the Board of Trade. The board
had not met since September 17. Thomas
Gulnean started a debate on the drydock
question, which struck fire In several
places. The discussion grew out of the
report of a special committee composed of
N. K Rankin, O. E. Helntz and .Joseph
Paquet The committee had recommend
ed that inasmuch as the question would
be settled by the courts the board need
take nt action upon it .
Mr. Gulnean was on his feet the minute
the reading of the report was finished.
"I dissent from that report," he de
clared, with emphasis. "The committee
has not done Its duty.. I tell you "
President Beach The courts will decide."
Mr. Gulnean, (warmly) Yes, but we can
censure and
Mr. Beach Let me Interrupt. Let's find
out where we're, at. We don't
Mr. Gulnean (excitedly) I Indorse the
report of the Federated Trades Council,
and (slapping his hands almost as loudly
as he spoke) that council is right. I move
that we indorse the resolution of "the Fed
erated Trades Council.
Mr. Beach The chair will rule your
motion out of order because It is aside
from the question before this body. We
are now considering the report of our
committee.
William Killlngsworth moved the adop
tion of the report, and the motion carried.
The only negative voice-was Mr. Gulne
an's. "No," he cried defiantly.
The subject of a banquet to H. B. MilleV
was brought up. Secretary Moore eald
that arrangements had been made to en
tertain Mr. Miller at the Porthlnd Thurs
day night. A motion was made that
President Beach and Secretary Moore be
constituted a committee to receive Mr.
Miller. Mr. Gulnean Jumped up again.
"I don't favor advertising Mr. Miller
or anybody else at the expense of this
body," he roared.
Mr. Beach But it won't cost the board
anything. Those who entertain Mr. Miller
wll bear the expense.
"But I don't believe in it."
"But you don't have to go. Major. It's
all right for those who wish to entertain
Mr. Miller to do so, isn't it?"
Mr. Gulnean But I thought It would
be necessary to tap the public.
Mr. Beach I don't know exactly what
you mean. Major, but you do us Injustice.
Secretary Moore reported that com
mercial bodies of Coast cities had re
sponded to the board about getting regu
lar night rates to the East on telegraph
messages. Letters had been received
from Seattle. Tacoma, San Francisco, San
Diego and Lewis-ton in favor of reduced
charges on night messages. The matter
will next ne laid before the telegraph
companies.
Rev. J. F. Ghormley pastor the First
Christian Church, of Portland, wrote from
Omaha that this city stands a good
chance of getting -the National Mission
ary Convention of Christian Churches in
1903, 1904 or 1903..
J. W. Bailey, State Dairy and Food
Commissioner, suggested by letter that
the board endeavor to get the annual con
vention In 1904. of the National Livestock
Convention. The board appointed R. C
Judson, A. S. Hawk, D. D. Neer and n!
It Rankin a committee to confer with
the Chamber of Commerce toward getting
the convention.'
TIE GAME OF FOOTBALL.
Senior and Junior Classes of. Acad
emy Piny Hard "Without Result.
A fast and snappy game of good foot
ball was played between the teams of
the senior and Junior classes of the Port
land Academy yesterday afternoon after
gchool. The score was 5 to 5, though
the class of 1903 claim the victory, as
the ball was in Its opponents' territory
much of the time. Baldwin and Foster,
the halfbacks; of the senior teani, did
good aggressive work, and Stewart
Strong, the fullback of that eleven, was
responsible for the touchdown, but failed
to kick the goal. Lathrop, one of the
opposing halves, also failed to gain the
extra points.
Lathrop and Rountree were the star
players for 1904. while the line of the
class withstood the rushes of the heavier
seniors very successfully. Both scores
were made in the opening 12-minute half,
for both elevens played ball from the
whistle. Plucky little Pease, the 1903
quarterback, dlstingulsned himself by his
good headwork.
This game was one of the events of
the season at the Academy, but as neither
class can claim a real victory a return
game has been arranged for next week.
Will Meet Tonight.
There will be a meeting of the John
Burroughs Society this evening at 8(0'eIock

NEW KIND OF SPORT
BALLPLAYER HARRIS ACCUSED OF
LARCENY.
He and an Old Offender Xanied Ham
moneil in Jail Accused of Robbing:
Salem Woolen Mills Store.
William Harris, recently third baseman
for the Portland baseball cluband Henry
Hammond, alias George A. Knowles, were
arrested yesterday by Detectives Weiner
and Kerrigan, charged with the larceny
of two pairs of pants from the Salem
Woolen iMllls store. Third and Oak streets.
Detectives Day and Snow also assisted in
the case. Hammond, who gave the name
of Knowles, Is recognized by the police
as having served one year in the county
jail for larceny, having been arrested In
November, 1S9S.
The arrests would probably not have
happered In the way they did had it not
been that Detective Weiner was standing
on the cast side of Third stret, near Oak,
opposite the store of the Salem Woolen
Mills Company. Weiner knows both Ham
mond and Harris by sight, and, aware of
the reputation of the former, he suspected
that they were not up to any good errand.
He noticed that one of the worthies was
carrying a leather traveling bag. In a
few minutes, he says, Hammond and
Harris walked out of the store with their
leather bag, and made full sail down
Third street There was riot a policeman
or detective in sight to help Weiner, al
though the police station Is.only one block
distant So Weiner was compelled to
stand on the defensive and follow his two
men until assistance arrived. Hammond
and Harris turned up Couch street, evi
dently unaware that they were being fol
lowed, but at the corner of Fourth? and
Couch streets Detective, Kerrigan was
standing. Weiner then ran up, caught
Kerrigan's eye, and motioned to hold
Harris. The latter, it is said, was the
first to grasp the situation, and eald
something to Hammond, who started to
run down Fourth street Harris ability
as a baseball sprinter stood him in no
stead; for he was collared by Kerrigan
Just as he started to slide around his base.
Weiner pursued Hammond, who dropped
his leather bag, and Jumped into a house
on the other Bide of the street, with the
detective after; him. Five fences were
jumped in quick succession, but at Fifth
and Glisan streets Hammond mysteriously
disappeared. Like a pointer who has found
the game and lost it, Weiner was at a
loss how to proceed, but he became con
vinced that Hammond was somewhere in
the neighborhood, and went Into a near-by
esaloon lo search for the fugitive. In one
of the rear rooms lay Hammond, and he
very quietly walked to the police station.
"What Is your name?" was asked of
Hammond.
"George A. Knowles, 28 years old," he
answered readily. Then he was examined
by Chief McLauchlan and the detectives
on duty and positively recognized by pho
tographs as the Henry Hammond who was
arrested In November, 1S9S, by Detective
Cordano and Policeman Mallett, for lar
ceny. "I remember arresting Hammond,"
stated Cordano afterward. "He was
'charged with stealing a mackintosh from
Martell's store, on the East Side, and
also with stealing a $10 hat from a mil
liner's store on Grand avenue, near Haw
thorne" ,
The police also state that Hammond
and Harris have been dissipating lately,
and that they have run around town with
such choice specimens as "Chick" Hough
ton, Fred Love, one of the proprietors of
the notorious Turf saloon; "Bob" Lucas
and others. One of Hammond's brothers
was recently arrested, charged with
vagrancy, but he made such an eloquent
plea to Municipal Judge Hogue that the
latter allowed him to go. The police alsd
say they are sure the "gang" managed by
Hammond et al. knows a lot about the
recent robbery of the cash register at the
Brunswick restaurant, on Washitgton
itreet near Sixth. About 10 days ago
this cash register was boldly carried from
the restaurant to a near-by doorway, while
the waiter was busy at the rear, and all
the loose change, about $11 worth, carried
off.
The clerks in the Salem Woolen Mill
Company's store did not know that the
pants had been stolen from the store until
Informed of the fact by Detective Weiner.
They readily recognized the pants taken
from Hammond's leather bag as having
been .stolen from the store.
An Oregonlan reporter saw Harris last
night in his cell, and on being asked If he
had anything to say. he stated he did
not know why he was arrested.
"The charge against you Is larceny of a
pair of pants," was remarked.
"I didn't steal any pants," he Insisted.
"Did you and your friend not go. Into a
Third-street store this afternoon?"
"Oh, yea; but we bought a grip and
came out again," was the reply. That
was all Harris would say.
Harris is t well-known baseball-player
and he joined the Portlands shortly after
the season commenced. He played good
ball for a while, until he began to drink.
Then he got out of condition, and his play
"William Harris, -well-known ball
player, in. jail.
suffered so much that he was released
about a month before the season, closed.
Since then he has hung around saloons,
doing his best to kill time.

COLBURN BARRFiL DEAD
PIONEER. OF 1840 EXPIRES UNDER
PATHETIC CIRCUMSTANCES.
Illness Seizes Him on Way Home
From Wife's GrnveDescendant
of rilsrln"- Fathers.
At the home of his. daughter, Mra A.
R. Wright, 186 East Twenty-third street
Sunday evening at 5 o'clock, Colburn Bar
ren, Sr., a well-known Oregon pioneer of
1S49. died suddenly. Since his wife,
Amelia J. Barrell. was laid to rest three
years ago, in .Lone Fir cemetery, situ
ated three blocks north of Mr. Wright's
home, he visited her grave Sunday, as
was his daily habit, and. was returning
past the home of his daughter, Mrs. Lou
Ellen Cornell. While resting there he was
seized with pains through his chest, and
remarked that he had better get homers
quickly as possible. He was assisted to
his home, a distance of two blocks, by
his son. Crawford Barrell. and, upon
lying down, passed peacefully away with
an acute attack of neuralgia of the
heart.
Colburn Barrell, Sr.. was born In Boston,
Mass.. March 3. 1824, within' , sight of
Bunker Hill monument, and was one of
the few children who, at the time . the
monument was built, was placed for a
few minutes In its corner stone. His an
cestral lineage dated back to the Pil
grim Fathers, who came over from Eng
land In the Mayflower one Mary Colburn,
who was married to a George Barrell, and
as the old English custom was to give the
maiden name of another to the first-born
son, to extend down for generations, so
the name Colburn has been handed down
for many generations. He lived in Bos
ton till manhood, serving apprenticeship
as a ship' carpenter and afterward work
ing at that trade in the Government navy
yard there.
In 184S. when gold was discovered in
California, he started West with several
others, coming by falling vessel around
Cape Horn. When opposite Cape Verde
Islands they encountered a heavy storm
and were driven ashore there with a hole
stove In the bow of their vessel, which,
while they lay there at anchor, was
patched by him ere they could proceed on
their Journey to California. On the way
from California to Oregon they encoun
tered another storm just outside the Co
lumbia River bar, where they lay for 13
days before daring to cross. When they
crossed the bar they found the river so
calm that they were In the neighborhood
of two months reaching Portland, having
to tack their way the whole distancear
riving In December, 1S49. Among other
of his kin was the Barrell who fitted out
Captain Gray's company and first discov
ered the Columbia River.
In September, 1553, he was married to
Auretfa J. Montgomery and lived in West
Portland until 1863, when he purchased
about 70 acres of land lying east of Twen
tieth street, a part of the Murray do
nation land claim, and which Includes
Portland's pioneer cemetery, originally
called Mount Crawford cemetery, but at
the request of his wife the name was
changed to Lone Fir cemetery, which
name it now bears.
Mr. Barrell left four sons, Crawford,
Colburn, Jr., Alexander M. and Maurice
Barrell. and two daughters, Mrs A. R.
Wright and Mrs. Richard Cornell.' There
are also several grandchildren.
The funeral will be held this afternoon
from the home of Mrs. A. R. Wright,
East Twenty-third street, at 2:30 o'clock!
The Interment will be hi Lone Fir ceme

Death of Colburn Barrell, Sr., Brings
to Mind Great Turf Event.
The death of Colburn Barrell, Sr., called
to the mind of Joseph Buchtel, another
well-known pioneer resident, a great
horse race which took place In Yamhill
In early days on the first racetrack built
In Oregon. Mr. Buchtel, In speaking of
the death of his old-time friend, Mr. Bar
rell, said yesterday:
"I had known Mr. Barrell fnr manv
years, and I believe it is generally con
I ceded that he was a man of sound in
J tegrity. In early days he was what was
i called a Black Republican, at a time
when that meant something. He loved
fine stock. He was owner of the mare
Millard, one of the most wonderful racers
that Oregon ever produced. Some ot her
descendants are still living. She ran a
great race on the Yamhill race course
with a famous horse called .Simon. It
was two-mile heats, three best In five. A
few days before the race the mare broke
away from the trainer, Jumped the high
fence and ran seven miles at a great
speed, yet was freshTTbr the great race.
Barrell, myself and the trainer were in
the center watching the animals as they
went around on the first heat The
trainer was controlling the rider of the
mare by means of a red flag. As the ani
mals were neaxing the home stretch the
trafher gave the rider the signal to let
the 'mare out The two horses had been
close together, but the mare was being
held in. The instant the signal -was given
the mare drew rapidly away from the
horse and shut him out I never saw such
running before nor since. The Jumps
were 23 feet and over. Only Saturday last
Mr. Barrell was In my office talking of
old times."
WANT TWO MAIL DELIVERIES.
Montn-rllla Residents Aslc for
Chnnarc in the Schedule.
The people of Montavilla are not con
tent with one delivery of mall daily, and
have started a movement to secure two de
liveries. The mail carrier In the Montavilla dis
trict now covers that territory between
the O. R. & N. Co.'s railway and the
Section road. He delivers mail to about
1500 people. There Is but one delivery
per day. Mails arrive at Montavilla at
9 A. M. and about 4 P. M. The carrier
Is able to deliver the morning mall, but
the afternoon mall arrives too late and
is held over until the next day.
An effort will be made to change the
-time of arrival so the morning mail win
arrive by 7:S0 and the afternoon at 1
o'clock. If this can be brought about
two deliveries per day can be made, which
will be satisfactory for the people. Some
progress has been 'made toward num
bering the houses and marking the streets.
A small sum of money has been sub
scribed to pay for marking streets and
placing numbers on houses of the sub
scribers to the fund. The money sub
scribed will not go very far In number
ing houses, but it will make a start. Many
of the propertyowners have made ar
rangements to place numbers on their
houses as soon as they find out what the
figures are. It is desired to get every
house in this suburb numbered.
OWNER OF MUSKET TURNS UP.
W.. T. Lege Says He Lost It August,
1855, Where It Was Found.
The following item, which appeared in
The Oregonlan Friday last, has led to
the discovery of "the man who lost the
musket 47 years ago. He is W. T. Legg,
a pioneer, who now makes his home at
the Osborn Hotel; on Grand avenue, East
Side:
An old United States Army musket, with the
date of 1844 on the barrel, was found by Will
iam P. Roberts, of Flrwood. about four miles
east of the tollgate on the Barlow road last
week. Mr. Roberts and A. C. New, of "Water
man, were hunting, and came across this relic
of ancient times under a log, where It had evi
dently lain "for many years. The stock was de
cayed, the barrel bent and rusty, and the ram
rod lay not far off. Any hunter willing to prove
that ho dropped his gun while running: away
can recover It by applying to Mr. Roberts.

of Ferrell's Addition. I started for the
Colvllle gold mines, by the Barlow road,
with packhorses, having one old musket
lashed to one of the horses. In gofng
down Laurel hill the horse slipped and
bent the barrel, and I threw It away. No
doubt this is the same gun. I suggest
that the finders send it to the Oregon His

. WORK ON ALU IN A FERRY.
Boat May Be Ready for Active Serv
ice Before Next Sunday.
A large force of carpenters Is at work
on the Alblha ferry at Supple's shipyard,
and yet from all indications it will not
be ready for service before the close of
the week. Perhaps It will not commence
making trips before Sunday, although It
Is given out that It will be finished by Fri
day next
There Is a good deal of Indignation In
Lower Alblna over the closing of the
Goldsmith bridge before the ferry was in
condition to resume service and permit
the transfer of teams, but it is claimed
that the bridge Is in such a shaky condi
tion that it might collapse at any moment
with more serious results than those fol
lowing the disaster on the Corbett-street
bridge. The importance of this bridge is
so great that steps will have to be taken
to repair it at an early date. The Clty
& Suburban Railway Company is also
interested in getting it repaired, as its
closing necessitates the transfer of pas
sengers. East Side Notes.

A CLEVELAND GIRL'S UNEX
PECTED GOOD FORTUNE.
How She Was Made Happy After
Weeks During? Which Her Life
Was Despaired Of.
"I had loat hope, and so. had my fam
ily, eald Miss Flora Hanna, of No. 349
Euclid avenue, Cleveland, O.
'JW0 yeara ago," she continued, "I
suffered from a severe attack of typhoid
fever. For three weeks my life was de
spaired of, and finally, when the fever
left me, I was so weak that It was a
month before I could sit up in a chair.
The ravages of the fever left me a phys
ical wreck. My blood was impoverished
and I looked like a corpse. I had not
the lightest inclination for food in
fact, the thought of eating filled me
with disgust. I was listless and tired.
The tonics prescribed by my physician
aid not strengthen me.
"I had often heard of Dr. Williams'
Pmk Pills for Pale People, and conclud
ed I wouM give them a trial. At first
the pills did not seem to dot me much
good, and I became discouraged, but
determined to persevere, thinking if
they did not do mc any good they would
not do me any harm. But I was hap
pily surprised, as J had scarcely finished
taking -the first box when I began to
improve. I continued until I had taken
five boxes. My strength gradually came
back, and my appetite returned, and I
was a well girl again. I am positive
that it was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
which effected my complete restoration
to health. I have recommended them
to my friends, and thore who gave them
a fair trial have always been satisfied
with results. A persistent use of this
remedy will insure a good complexion,
bright eyes and red lips. I know this
from experlEnce."

action-n the blood and on the nerves.

cure-all. but the very nature of the rem

ease through a direction action on the
