(SpeciaL Since the date set for fin ishing the Natron-Klamath Kails cut off haa been deferred from the Fall of 1913 to some time during the year 1913. the anxious onea are becoming; Impa tient. The announcement by one of the hlsh official of the Southern Pa cific that the Hue would be completed this year Is now gravely doubted, but the marked Impetus the line la expected to (cive to this city, together mtth the convenience It means for freight and passenajer travel, as well aa cheaper rates for both, are a consoling thought.

I. i expensive to operate, much more o t nan f it were part of a lariter. con tinuous system, which later it mill be. Therefore the Income, It is hik Ued. must be creater. "whleh accounts for some of the complaints us to pussen- per and f rciitht rat now. ben Klamath Fall Rets onthe main line. or, in other worils, the mum lino run throne h Klamath Fall, tt Is expected to reduce materially the cost of ban dittis; the Weed-KIainatli line, and that the benefit will be jciven t the travel ing and freijrht-shippinix public. As is commonly known, the object of building the cutoff principally Is to s.re the heavy crades which exist on the present route. Over the Siskiyou Mountains these grades run .i bout 3 per cent, while on the cutoff the grade will be reduced about 1 per cent. At toe same time tiie cutoff ill reduce the distance between Weed and Kuirene about 27 mile, shortening the distance between all point north of Euisene and south Of W eetl the same distance. The saving m grade will mean an Im mense economy each year to the rall roHd company in the lower cost of operation. It Is an expressi tin commonly heard. mit h a show of disgust, that anyono wishing to go or come from the north has to travel a considerable distance out of their road and out of the state In ordr to reach their destination, the result beinc a loss of time and money for the distance, which la regarded, theoretically, aa unnecessary. The mileage from Portland to Weed Is 42 miles, and from Weed to Klam ath Fall Nti miles, a total of 514 miles. From Portland to Kugene la 12S miles, Kugene to Natron eight miles. Natron to Klamath Fall 17ft miles, a total of 31S miles. Thus the run from Portland to Klamath Falls will be reduced 199 miles. The distance from Portland to Weed. 42 miles, which now is covered by all trains, will compare with 401 mile over the Klamath-Xatron cutoff, a savin on through traffic of 27 mile. With grades reduced two-thirds and 27 miles of track eliminated, t h routs h trains are expected to save several hours between the Golden Gate and Rose Cities. KLAMATH MAN ARRESTED J.

D. 4, Mt. Gilead, Ohio. "When my little boy was a week old he was taken with eczema and I waa looking for his death any' minute. inn ms iace turned so red, but I did not pay any attention to it. It began to get worse and he just tossed his Utile bead to and fro on the pillow and cried day and sight. He began to scratch himself so that I had to muf fle his littlejiands, and then the rash began to ro over his i whole body until he was a mass of running sores. The more I doctored the worse he got. He had it so bad that his little ears began to rot off and his scalp was something awful to look at. I saw the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment advertised and got a bar of Cuticura Soap, making a lather all over his body with the Soap and hot water and then I dried him off well and anointed him with the Cuticura Oint ment. He went right to sleep and slept four hours, the first good sleep he had had for very nearly two years, so I kept on using the Cuti cura Soap and Ointment and it was no time before his skin began to get welL Soon he was completely cured. He is sixteen years old sow and has not had a sign of the eczema since he was cured by the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.' (Signed) airs. N. M.
