valuable China tea set consisting of 66 piec

Tilk op Kedccino Timb. Officials in San
Francisco axe considering the advisability
of reducing the time between that city
and Portlaua to forty honrs, the reduction
to take effect when tho California k Oregon
road is open to Cole's. Should this plan be
adopted, tho probabilities are that north
bound trains will leave San Francisco at C
p. m. daily instead of 4 p. m. The shorten
ing of the time will depend on whether ar
rangements can be mode for eating stations
at suitable distances apart. Such rapid pro
gress is being made in tunneling on the
south side of the Siskiyou mountains that it
is expected that the Hue to Ashland will be
comploted by the middle of September.

others that he has skipped the country, as be
was a little in debt. We incline to the hitter
belief.

Few if any places in Oregon are indicating
a healthier, more reliable growth than Eu
gene. With a good location, fine water
works and enterprising business men, it is
surging ahead with remarkable steadfast
ness. As a rival Albany has more to fear
from it than from Suleui, which, though
growing slowly, is probably limited in its
population, as most btate capitals, wbicn
nearly always occupy sn inferior position as
a State developes. Unlike other State.i Ore
gon has centralized its State bnildings there,
a vory bad practice, one thongh which gives
the city iu position iu postal matters.

"I have been prejudiced against all cos

ertiue, I tried it, and to my surprise end sat

effect of anything I had ever nscd, leaving
the skin soft and smooth. Robortine will
always form an important part of my toilet.
Knowing it, I consider it an important ac
cessory .
"I have used nearly every preparation for
improvinc the complexion to be had. and I
can say frankly Robortine suits me bettor
than anything I have ever tried."
"Having used your Robertino, and liking
It so well, I have introduced it to my friends.
All pronounce it perfect," .' '

A lady In Sun Froncisoo writes: "Pleaso
send me one dozen Robertine but don't
imagine it is all for myself, but for friends
who have clubbed together. All have sam
pled miuo, and say it is just lovely."
''Unlike anvtliiiml have ever usod, it
gives tho complexion such a delicate tint,
and does not leave the skin dry and rough."
"It docs all yon claim for it. Its virtues
will advertise it wherover known."
"fti fnnumtndintr vntir AYnillint Robertino
I eannot refrain from mentioning the ertistio
and suggestive design ot the label, portray
Ins innocence, nuritv and art. all of which it
gives me pleasure to say it justly, merits."
An nnnrntin slur known so well to Port

proper to tniiito the lady's testimony among
others: "It is tho finest preHration I have .
ovor nscd, and is a decided acquisition to a

fThe orlcinals of the above can be seen on

We could L'o on uuotina from the friends
of RolxTtine until wo bod fillod column after

the universal satisfaction the article is
giving.
Probably no preparation of its kind ever
introduced here or elsewhere has iu so short .
a time enjoyed such an extraordinary sale.
Though it has been on the market but a few
months, its sales have reached many thou
sand bottles, nud the demand is steadily in
creasing. Positively Invisible.
