Talk of Reddcino Tim. Officials in San
Francisco ore considering the advisability
of reducingXthe time between that city

to take effect when tho California & Oregon
road is open to Cole's. Should this plan be
adopted, tho probabilities are that north
bound trains will leave San Francisco at 6
p. m. daily instead of 4 p. m. The shorten
ing of the time will depend on whether ar
rangements can be made for eating stations
at suitable dismuces apart. Such rapid pro
gress is being made in tunneling on the

is expected that the line to Ashland will be

THE CLAIM OF THE PROPRIETORS
FULLY ENDORSED.
Keiul the following Opinion lYom
the lmtUititc Hoi'lety Indian of Iort
lanil.Hiin I'YtmoiHoo uul Chicago:
"I have been prejudiced ngainst all cos
metics in liquid form, believing, liko many
others, that they always contained some
harmful Ingredients, but at the urgeut solid
tation of a friend who was using your Rob
ertine, 1 tried it, and to my surprise and sat
isfaction it produced tbe most charming
effect of anything I hnd ever nsod, leaving
the skin soft and smooth. Kobcrtine will
always form an important part ot my toilet.
ituowiug it, i consider h an important ac
cessory. "I havo used nearly every preparation for
improving the complexion to be had, and I
can any frankly Robertine suits me bettor
thuu anything I have ever triod."
"Having used your Robertine, and liking
it so well, I have introduced it to my friends.
AH pronounce it perfect." - ;
"I have bid farewell to 'powder? since
using Kobcrtino. Its powers aro wonder
ful. ,?
A lady In Sun Francisco writes: "Ploaso
send me one dozen Robertine, but don't
imagine it is all for myself, but for friends
I .I..I.I....I 1 11..,- Ill I... .......
wuu Uliva uiuuucu lul'iut All univ m-
pled miiio, and say it is just lovely."
'Unlike anything! have ever used, it
givos the complexion such a delicate tint,
and docs not leave the skin dry and rough."
'It docs all you claim for it. Its virtues
will advertise it wherever known."
"Iu commending your excellent Robertine
I cannot refrain from mentioning the artistio
and suggestive design of the label, portray
ing innocence, purity and art, all of which it
gives me pleasure to say it justly niorits."
An oporatio star known so well to Port
land has spoken so highly of it that it is but
proper to iiiiote the lady's testimony among
others: "It is tho finest nreiwnitiim I have
ever used, aud is a decided acquisition to a
lady' toilot."

We could go ou quoting from the friends
of Roliertiue until wo had filled column after

the universal satisfaction the article i
giving.
Probably no preparation of it kind ever

Though it has been on the market but a few
mouths, its sales have reached many thou

creasing. P ifectlf Harmless.
