William Carroll Finds Benefactors
andr Life Is Saved Through Am

BURNS, Or., Jan. 15. (Special.)
William Carroll, whose legs were
broken as the result of the fall to the
bottom of the 85-foot well In Catlow
Valley on December 17, where. he and
his friend, John L. Koontz, were im
prisoned for six days, will be a cripple
for life, as both feet were amputated
Sunday morning.
As told In The Oregonian following
the accident and the awful experience
of the two men, Carroll's feet were
frozen while the assembled neighbors
were carrying him about two miles to
a house where he could receive care,
and though the broken bones of the
legs hare knitted all right and almost
entirely healed, the frozen feet have
not responded to treatment, but be
came so bad that friends brought him
to Burns and Dr. Harrison realized the
upper limbs and his lire could be saved
only by amputation of the blackened
and gangrened extremities, botn oi
which were cut off between tne ankle
and the knee.
The patient stands an excellent
chance of living provided the gangrene
does not set in again.
Carroll has no relatives in this
county and is a young man or small
means. A paper was circulated in
Burns Saturday evening and quite a
sum was raised to aid him in procuring
surgical aid. The Harney County News
has also started a more widespread
subscription for his further care and to
procure him a pair of artificial feet in
case of his recovery.

Reed College, delivered the address of
the day, detailing the past history of
the university and forecasting a
bright future.
Pacific University of today sprang
from a humble beginning. In 1847
Rev. George H. Atkinson visited the
present site of Forest Grove as a dele
gate from the Congregational and
Presbyterian churches with the object
of extending the religious work in
Oregon. In connection with this work.
Rev. Theron Baldwin, secretary or tne
American College and Education So
ciety, convinced Rev. Atkinson of the
need of colleges in the West. Shortly
afterward. Rev. Atkinson attended a
meeting of the Congregational and
Presbyterian conferences at Oregon
Citv. where he set forth the need for
educational facilities so ably that a
committee of the conference members
visited Forest Grove to find the
nucleus of the present institution, rep
resented by the children of the set
tlers, gathered in a small log church,
receiving instruction from Mfs. Brown,
the first instructor In the acadentfy.
The favorable opening for the estab
lishing of an educational center so im
pressed -the delegates that it was de
cided to change the school Into the
proposed academy, and in September,
1849, the charter of Tualatin Academy
was granted. From this small begin
ning the present university sprang.
From a log building have blossomed
forth a magnificent central building.
Marsh Hall, a large and commodious
dormitory for girls, a finely equipped
gymnasium building and the latest ad
dition to the campus buildings, the
Carnegie library.
Tualatin Academy and Pacific Uni
versity have given many men and wo
men of prominence to the arts and pro
fessions. Its alumni will be found In
the forefront in all lines of endeavor.

extend its East Union street line from
Twenty-ninth to Thirty-fourth avenues.
The company contends the Council
has no legal right to demand extensions
or grant-franchise for extensions, until
application has been made by the com

test case to settle the question or au
thority to compel extensions.

taking on airs of a metropolitan
town.
The business men and residents are
feeling good over the big wheat crop
of last year and from present indi

crop next year, as there is plenty ot

Rheumatic Blood
is Whole Story
Wonderful Specific for Sci
atica, Lumbago, and a
Cure For Dreadedt Ar
ticular Rheuma
tism. There, is a host of pills, powders, tab
lets and what-not for rheumatism, but
they all lack the first essential to beintr
a natural medicine. To begin with,
rheumatism Is simply a name given to
designate a variety of pains, and can
only be reached by Irrigating the entire
blood supply with a naturally assimila
tivA antidote. Trim the pains may be
eased with narcotics or the acids may
b neutralized for the time being with
other acids. But these merely tem
porize and do not even lead to a cure.
There Is but one standard rheumatism
remedy, and It reflects the best thought
of the day. It Is prepared In the great
Swift Laboratory In Atlanta, Ga., and
sold In all drug stores under the name
of 8. S. S. at 81.00 a bottle.
Starvation has been advocated by
many as a cure for rheumatism, and
yet S. S. S. accomplishes in fact what
faddists proclaim in theory and without
the punishment of starvation. Hot
springs and sweating are often recom
mended, but S. S. S. does all that is
expected of these expensive and weak
ening methods.
It is conceded by the closest stu
dents of the. subject that rheumatism
Is caused in most cases by an acid
condition of the blood and aggravated
by the remedies commonly used for re
lief. In other cases rheumatism Is the
result of nervo depression: in still
others it is the effect of some scro
fulous blood condition, having been
treated with mercury, iodides, arsenio
and other poisonous mineral drugs.
The recoveries of all these types of
rheumatism by the use of S. S. 8. Is
a wonderful tribute to the natural effi
cacy of this remarkable medicine, for it
is assimilated just as naturally, just as
specifically, and just as well ordained
as the most acceptable, most palatable
and most readily digested food. Do not
fail to get a bottle of S. S. S. today.
You will be astonished at the results.
If your rheumatism is of such a nature
that you would like to consult a great
specialist confidentially, write to The
