Br ADDISOX BENNETT.
TVIN'LOCK. Wash., Oct. 18 (Special
correspondence.) This Is a fine little
city of some 1200 or 1500 inhabitants.
It Is 14 miles south of Chehalis and
about 80 miles north of Portland. The
main lines of the Northern Pacific.
Great Northern and O.-W. R. & N.
Company pass throusrh the town, eiv
Ins a passenger service of 18 trains a
day, as all trains stop here, except the
through freights. There is a great deal
of travel to and from here owing to
tne large and rich farming country
on the Cowlitz prairie, to the east. In
which vicinity is the prosperous little
town of Toledo, seven miles from here.
This being the nearest railroad point.
winlock gets a heavy business fro
that section.
Wlnlock has been noted for many
years as a lumber center, there bein&r
formerly two large sawmills and the
accompanying planing mills here. One
of these mills, that of the O'Connell
Lumber Company, burned a couple of
years ago and has not been rebuilt, but
the company owns a large amount of
line timber close by.
Mill Being Rebuilt.
The other mill, belonging to the J,
A. Vanness Lumber Company, was
burned August 8. Fortunately the
planing mill, dry sheds and about 9,-
000.000 feet of sawed lumber escaped
the flames. So business has gone right
ahead while the mill is being rebuilt,
on a larger scale than before the fire.
It is said that each of the milling com
panies owns sufficient adjacent- tim
ber to run its mill about 40 years.
The town has a good Commercial
Club, C. E. Kennedy being the presi
dent and L. R. Quillen secretary. There
are two good weekly newspapers pub
lished here, the Live Wire, by J. D.
Quillen, rnd the Wlnlock News. The
former is a four-column eight-page
sheet, all home print, and the latter
runs six pages of . six columns each.
It is likewise all home print. The
Live Wire is about eight months old.
the News is in its 30th year.
There is one organization that ihe
Wlr lock people feel very proud of
the Women's Improvement Club. Mrs.
A. W. MaeFee is president and Mrs.
May Coleman vice-president. The
membs-s meet twice a month and not
only discuss city betterments but keep
after the men folks until the better
ments are a fact. They have accom
plished much and will accomplish
more. Djring the last year or so much
paving and many blocks of concrete
walks have been put in, much of which
might not have been accomplished had
not the women almost unanimously
taken a hand In civic work.
Vomen'n Orajunlzatlon Active, s
Then the women havq another or
ganization of which they are justly
proud the Parent-Teacher Association.
Mrs. A. N. Cheney is president and
Mrs. A. W. MacFee secretary of this
organization, which is the largest in
membership and the foremost in ac
tivity, in Lewis County.
There are five churches here, of the
following denominations: Methodist
Episcopal. Baptist. German Lutheran,
Roman Catholic and Evangelical Lu
theran. Rev. R. F. Rees is pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal, Dr. Philip
Oraif pastor of the Baptist, and Rev.'C.
H. fc-pannutt is In charge of the Ger
rran Lutheran. The Catholics are sup
plied by a priest from Toledo and the
Evangelical Lutherans from various
nearby points.
There is a large school building In
the town where all grades are taught,
and four grammar schools' in outlying
parts of the school district. Winlock
has. so I was told by more than one,
always had good schools. S. O. Oistad
Is the city superintendent, O. L. Isbell
clerk.
The Winlock State Bank has a fine
Ftone bank building and Is a prosperous
Institution. It has a capital of $15,000.
with a surplus of J800 and undivided
profits of $4241.08. Its deposits amount
to $71,549.07. A. N. Cheney is presi
dent and Clement A. Cook cashier. This
bank also handles a good deal of money
for its depositors and others, which It
loans on farm property and other real
state.
Creamery Don Big; Business
There is large co-operative cream
ery here which is not only doing a
big business it has established a splen
did record for the quality of its butter.
During the last three years, under the
able management of Peter Nelson, it
has taken scores of first prizes and
many second. Xever has it placed but
ter in competition without at least
getting second prize, and almost al
ways the first. Winlock creamery but
ter is known all over Southwestern
Washington as of the first quality.
Kmll Katterman is president of the
corporation. This concern makes as
much as 5500 pounds of butter some
weeks, and averages about 18,000 pounds
a month the year through, and yet It
cannot nil its orders.
Aside from the cream used by this
creamery there are large amounts
shipped out every day. Over in the
Toledo country there are cream trucks
running regularly to Seattle and other
points to the north, and many ship
ments are made from Winlock by ex
press. Indeed. I have been in no place
on this trip where the dairy outlook
seems as bright as it does here in the
southeastern portion of Lewis County.
1 guess I had better withdraw tnat
statement and say in Lewis County as
a whole. This will snrely be a won
derful field for the dairy cow.
Climate Is Lauded.
As to climatic conditions there is
no better section along the coast, and
not many so good. With such splendid
soil for the production of food plants
for Winter feeding, with corn so rap
Idly gaining headway, with so many
silosgoing up. and. above all. with the
dairymen taking care t6 select the best
cows obtainable for their herds and
then breeding to registered sires
surely this whole section will be a
dairy country of great note, with Win
lock as an important center.
Winlock has a nice, new city hall,
with the city offices housed on the
second floor and the fire department
below. The structure Is of brick and
is bomeihing for the people to be proud
of. . But few towns of the size are pro
vided with better hotel accommoda
tions than you - will find here. The
Winlock Hotel, a fine fireproof sri uc
ture. is conducted by Ed Kournier. but
Mrs. Fournier . keeps pretty close tab
on all that Is going on, and if I am
not mistaken she must be credited with
many of the home touches that make
the. Winlock such a favorite stopping
place. Mrs. Rehill runs what she calls
a . boarding-house, but a good many

travelers stop there. She has a big
rooming-house In connection, and can
accommodate a large number of guests.
Then the Bungalow Hotel, kept by H.
Keithley, is a fine building and is said
to furnish good accommodations. So
it can be seen that the town is well
supplied with hotels.
Town Built of Stone.
A stranger coming here would be
surprised to find nearlv everv hiiKlno.
house of stone or. concrete. Upon In
quiry he would hear that Winlock has
practically been wiped out by fire on
three different occasions during the
last six years. Aside from these fires
in the business section there have bun
five sawmills destroyed by fire. Manv
a town would have dried up and blown
away it nit as hard as Winlock has
been. But the place is today perhaps
a better town than ever before any-
iiuw. n nas a Drignter outlook.
One of the first thinsrs one nnf-ioen
hereabouts is the large amount of land-
njg suing on. i nis was originally
a heavily timbered section, but the
trees were felled from the bottom lands
ana adjacent sidehills manv vears aero.
Many thousand acres have been cleared
and made into fine farms, and this work
is rapidly going on. more rapidly lat-
xeriy since tne people are learning how
to remove tht stumps bv charDittin?.
Recently Clement A. Cook, cashier of
tne Winlock bank, wrote an article for
an Eastern magazine on charpitting,
and I have a copy of it before me.
He estimates the actual cost in labor
(the only expense) for clearing stumo
lands hereabouts in no case exceeds
$75 an acre, and usuallv runs about $30.
As land-clearing is more often a family
matter than a commercial transaction,
it can be seen that where the stumps
are the only impediment, as hereabouts,
the settler can do the work himself be
tween times, so to speak, with no ap
preciable cash outlay. When such land
is cleared it Is worth to the man who
uses It for dairying at least $150 an
acre. It can be bought with the stumps
on for $20 an acre.

Paint was daubed about in such a man

Method, of Central Oregon Irrigation
Company Snbjeet of Protest to
State Commission.
SALEM. Or.. Oct. 18. (SDecial.) Al
leging that the flume and canals of the
Central Oregon Irrigation Conipany's
project in Crook County are worn out
and liable to break at any time, and
that the company annually collects
tnousanos of dollars from settlers on
the project, of which the greater part
is used in "paying high . salaries and
ror other purposes unknown, the Cen
tral Oregon Irrigation Company Water
Users Association today filed com
plaint with the Oregon Public Service
Commission. The association, by P. A.
Young, its president, asks that the
Commission compel the company to
Keep the system of canals and flumes
In repair.
Question of whether the Commission
has the authority to hear the complaint
of the water-users was placed before
Attorney-General Brown for decision.
A reply is expected within a few days,
The water - users belonging to the
association allege that the Central Ore
gon Irrigation Company officials refuse
to allow them to see the books of the
company to ascertain how the moneys
collected have been expended. They
declare that the flume and canals are
of insufficient size to supply all the
lands now sold if the settlers should
demand the "water due them according
to their contracts. It is declared that
the flume which diverts water from
the Deschutes River onto the project
is in such a poor state of repair that
it is. liable to break any time, leaving
tne settlers without water for irriga
tion or domestic purposes.
The company's contract with the
state expires' June 1, 1917, and, accord
ing to the complainants, the company
does not intend to spend any more
money In repairs to the flume, "know
ing that the people will take it over
then. '

NEW DANGERS
OF CONSTIPATION
A recent issue of the New York Times
ays : ,
"Recent researches of Prof. M etch nik off
and others have led doctors to suppose
that many conditions of chronic ill health,
nervous debility, rheumatism and other
disorders are due to poisoning set up by
unhealthy conditions in the Larsje Intes
tine, and it has even been suggested that
the lowering- of the vitality resulting; from
such poisoning is favorable to the develop
ment of Cancer and Tuberculosis.
4At Guy's Hospital Sir William Artrath
not Lane decided on the heroic plan of re
moving; the diseased organ. A child who
appeared in the final stage of what was
believed to be an incurable form of tuber
cular joint disease was operated on. The
Lower Intestine, with the exception of nin
inches, was removed, and the portion left
was joined to the Smaller Intestine.
"The result was astonishing. In m week's
time the internal organs resumed all their
normal functions, and in a few weeks the
patient was apparently in perfect health.
The Lower Intestine can never get into
this condition if Internal Baths are used.
The "J. B. L. Cascade" cleanse the Lower
Intestine its entire length thoroughly with
pure warm water and removes all this poi
sonous waste which is such a menace to
health.
It is Nature's own cure for Constipation,
and is now being used by over 300,000
Americans with great success.
The "J. B. L. Cascade" is now being
shown and explained by the Woodard Clark
& Co.'s Drug Store in Portland, wJio are
also distributing a most interesting booklet
called "Why Man of To-Day Is Only 50
Per Cent..- Efficient." There is no charge
