The First Sign Of failing health, whether in the form of Night Sweats and Nervousness, or lu a Bcnso of General Weariness and Loss ol Appetite, should suggest the uso of Ayor's Sarsaparillo. This preparation is niost effective for giving tono and strength to tho enfeebled system, pro inotiug tho digestion aud assimilation of food, restoring the nervous forces to their normal condition, and for purify ing, enriching, aud vitalizing the blood. i Failing Health. Ten years ago my health began to fail. I was troubled with a distressing Cough, Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous ness. I tried various remedies pre scribed by different physicians, but became so weak that I could not go up stairs without stopping to rest. My friends recommended me to try Ayer's Hursaparilla, whic h I did, aud I am now as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs. E. L. Williams, Alexandria, Minn. I have used Ayer's Barsaparllla, In my family, for Scrofula, and know, if it fs taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly eradicate this terrible disease. 1 havo also prescribed it as a tonic, a well a an altt-rative, and must say that I honestly UdiBve it to be the Ix st blood medidno everconiKinded. W. F. Fowler, M. V. V. I). 8., Greenville, Teun. Dyspepsia Cured. , It would be impossible for me to de SfTilxi what I suffered from Indigestion and lleadarhe tip to th time I began taking Ayer's Barsaparilla. 1 was under the are of various physicians, and tried a (rreat many kinds of medicines, but never obtained more than Wmorary re lief. After taking Ayer's Harsaparllla for a short time, my heada he disap peard, and my stomach performed It ' duties more rs"ne:iiy. nm.i j t liealth is completely restored. Mary ' llarley, Bpringtield, Slaas. ! I have been greatly lienefitwl by the i prompt nse of Ayer's Barsaparilla. It ' tones and invigorates the system, regu- i latm the action of the digestive and j assimilative organs, and vitalizes tho blood: It is, without doubt, the most . ' reliable blood purifier yet discovered. i If. I. Johnson, 383 Atlantic avenue, ' Drooklyn, N. Y. , it Ayer's Sarsaparilla, j rrcparc4fcyDr.J.C.AyrCo,Uwa,H-aS. I I'rioetll aUboUiu, Forgotten. Ibut thou fonjotten me dearest? Mast thou forgotten the past? DhUt thou not promise me faying I will be thine to the last? 'last thou forgotten the pnt Where we stooil in thetwilhrnt so gray Feelin,' deep pie jnre untold, As 1 loured with thee ever to stay? Hast thou forrotten the words Chat were softly poured into mine ear, lly thee who perchance has forgot, Rut to mo they ever seem near? And oft as I sit us the twilight Is easting its similes all around I sih fur thy nreseuoe to cheer me And li'ii; fur thesa words to resound. I tit no w ords respond to my sighing, For, alas! tlnm art now fur away; Vint how dost thmi know of th? anguish hie h 1 suiter from tlay to dayt And sometimes 1 fancv my dearest, Twcre better if w ne'er had met; Yet I confess I still love thee, And though forgotten I cm not forget - L. S. Why Wheat is Cheap. Those who do uot understand why wheat is so cheap at the present time will probably hud a solution tor the problem in the follow ing facts relative to the production of wheat in foreign countries. It is true that tho American wheat crop is smaller by prob ably nearly UO.OOtt.tKH) bushels this year than it was last, and if this had uot been true here as well as iu India, prices would now in all probability be lower than they have been known for yeura. Rut the crops in other foreigu wheat producing countries have been large and that has prevented the higher prices which would undoubtedly have pre vailed as the result of the shortngu iu the crops of Iuiha and America. For example the Austrian crop is' reported as 17 per cent, above the average am) the Hungarian 26 per cent. Havana has shown a yield 20 per cent, larger than tho avenge; (treat Rritain and Ireland 20 per cent.; Ser via 40 per cent.; Little Wallacliia25percent.; Central Russia 18 per ceut.; Cherson 20 per cent.; other Russian districts 100 per rent.; Switzerland 110 per cent.; Franco 105 per rent ; Holland 102 percent.; Denmark and Sweden 100 per cent,; Italy !HI per cent. It will thus be ecru that the increase in the yields of the foreign wheat producing coun tries just sliovo counteracts the etl'ccl of the shortages in India aud the Uuited States. These figures aud estimates are those of the international corn market of Vienna, and may be considered perfectly reliable and as nearly accurate as such estimates can be made. Tlie Sugnr lit a The great sugar king of this coast, Clans Spreckles, is said to he on the point of em barking in the manufacture of sugar f roni beets. If such is tho case it indicates the opsning nf an important iudnstry for this coast. The Alia has Uie following upon the subject: "The First Napoleon founded this industry in France to make his country independent of English colonial sugar, (ieriuatiy adopt ed it in order to be independent of France, and both countries patiently developed it by subsidies stiil bounties, until now it controls the price of sugar in the markets of the world. The sugar beet of California is kuowu to exceed all others iu its saccharine percent ge. The yield per acre passes tho most prodigal tonnage of other conntrii s. and our seasons are such that we havo advuutagii over all the rest of the world in growinghar vesting, handling aud storing the vegetable for manufacture. In Frauce aud Oermauy the crop is subject to mishaps, due to the weather mid changes in temperature after its growtli is completed. It has to be harvested at once to avoid frost, while here iudeed, its growtli never ceases, and it uiuy remain in the Held practically from ono year to another, with no loss of its quality. This distributes tho manufacturing season over a greater space and permits iu. the whole process, from planting to refine ment, a profitable margin of time uuknown in other countries." The lncationof lliowreckof the old steamer llrother Jonathan has, it is claimed, at length been discovered. She struck an unkuowu rock off Crescent City and went down with a large number of passengers twenty-two years ago. She had on board a considerable amount of treasure, aud to devise means to rencuo this, search lor the wreck has liecn prosecuted more or less steadily for the past ten years. The next step will be to explore the vessel by menus of the diving bell, and penetrate if possible the chambers that have closely held the secrets of the sea for nearly a quarter of s century. The very name of the ill-starred vesscl'thut so lone did her (,art iu tho stinted commerce, of thnso days letween San Francisco and Portland awakens interest in tho minds of hundreds, whose res dents ill Oregon anti-dates that time and further proceedings in regard fo the wreck will be swaiti'd curiously, if not anxiously. THE SIlSLsW CUl'XTRY. The daily consumption of corn iu the Peo ria distilleries has iuciensid from lfi,IH8 bushels to 2H.21H bushels. This is the result of the formation of a whisky trust company Cimjiosi-d of the great distillers, and tho in tention of the same to manufacture the bulk of whiskv where it ran be done the cheapest. Many of the larger distilleries of Cincinnati, St. Louis and other cities have bef n closed and the bulk of the business thrown to IVo ria. Some idea of the immense business done in this line may be uathered from the statement that up to the 1'Jtli of litut month the internal revenue ctdlectii ns in the Peoria district iimoiintrd to over a million dollars. It is the insatiate demand back of this enor mous supply that makes the heart of the true philanthropist sick. Ex. Ros burg lUi' iew: It costs no more time nor expense to miss s good fruit tree or a standard grape vine, nor any more land for that matter than it does Ut cultivate s variety that Ins no marketable vulue. This is fact which our horticulturists should b.sr in mind t'V- Hi' r with the accepted rule that to make orchards or vineyards profitable, it will iot do to mix varieties. The great natural advantages of the seaport of Florcuce as a business locatiou are seen at a glance. While it is near enough to the ocean for a most delightful annum r resort, it is far enough inland to command the trmle ot the rountry to the eastward, lleilig mar tho confluence of the North Fork, Siuslaw river and South Slough, it commands the trails of these most fertile tributaries. It is eoiiUfcttl by wagou road with the Mercer Lake rountry, the Cape Perpctii.i section to the uorth, the entire roast to Coos liny on the south and by way of South Slough it is easy of access by boat from the Teu Mile Lake country.. The main Siuslaw river is navigable fof small steamers for 18 miles alnive Florence; the North Fork for 10 miles and South Slouuh for some (our uiilci. The country along the Siuslaw and its tributaiics is a mixture of timbered uiouutains, brushy hill sides, rich bottom lands, gentle Slopes aud tide lauds with the first mentioned class largely pre dominating. Large tracts of government laud are still unoccupied from which may be selected much good land for pleasant homes. Along tide water navigation, the laud is nearly all occupied, it being thu most ac cessible to the early settler, but as new wagon roads are built, new country, fully as pro ductive as (hat nearer navigation, is opeimd to settlement. Along tho banks of the main stream where the glassy witters lie iu peaceful repose, or move tip slid down ith the gentle pulsations of the tnle, disturbed only by sporting tUh, the hurrying steamer or the idle splash of a bostuisu's oar, are found as pleasant homes as the heart could wish. Nothing iu mm burut and dusty San Diego can compare with this enchanted river for convenience, beauty aud comfort. The little steamers pass your tloor from the Florence stores daily and de liver your purchases promptly and somewhat alter the style of tho city express wagon. Natural springs pour their crystal fountains from almost every hillside. THE RESOURCES Of this section are very numerous but as yet the salmon canning industry is the only bus iness that has reached any degree ot devel opment. There are three canneries iu suc cessful operutiou. Tho lumbering facilities are simply enormous and Florence at this time iB the best unoccupied field for a huge merchant mill on the Pacitiu Coast. Large limilier schooners with a capacity for six hundred to eight hundred thousand feet have crossed the bar without the aid ot tugs thus demonstrating tho tact that lumber can be shipped from this point to any p.irt of the world as cheaply as from other ports. The timber supply has been estimated by ail ex pert lumberman to be worth over fifty mill Ion dollars, embracing fourteen town ships ot almost solid timbc.-. Pros pects havo been found indicating large de posits of coal convenient to shipping. Iron ore Is found ill abundance, also deposits of paint of which much is used in its natural state. Tho climate is much superior to the Willamette valley both for winter and sum mer, being warmer iu winter aud cooler in winter. .A3 A SUMMER RESORT This section has no equal on the Paeiflo Coast. From Halo Westward to Herd of Tide the route lies through a continuous park of changing lieauty. The loads like ull new mountain highways are rough, but will soou become smoother as nu n are kept con stiintly employed building bridges and mak ing oilier needed improvements. From Head ot Tide to Floreuco iu two and one-half hours is pronounced by excursionists, "Thu tluest ride I over had iu niy life," "the mpst beau tiful river on earth," Ac, &r, Hut the cli max of all is found in the drive on thu beach aud the ascent of Cape Perpetua. Ho unique so magnificently grand are scenes here that no attempt will be made ut their description. PREPARATIONS FOR ENJOYMENT. The climate of the coast eveii during tho most sultry weather is so cool as to reuuiro light white! clothing aud those who go there must dress accordingly or expect to ''freeze out." They should also learu from the inia ted the art of digging clams, where to find the fattest mussels, how to Caleb rrabs, shrimps and other delicious Hah. They should remember this is a new country and hotels sre neither grand nor commodious, and for the present more comfort is fosud ill "camping out" than depending solely up on the hotels which will probably be crowded during the excursion season. IMPROVEMENTS. Since the issue ot our latest circular in January lust tho following improvements have been uiade in the rapid development ol Florence aud vicinity. Three large sal mon canneries have been built and fitted with complete machinery, two small steam ers have been placed on the rivtr aud make daily triHt to the head ot navigation, one neat store building erected and opt ned with a complete stock ot general merchandise, and another under coi strut lion, the U. S. Mails from Eugene have been expedited from once to twice per week ami in connection therewith a four-horse stage fully equipped placed on the route which making close connection with steamers has rodnowl the traveling time from Eugene to Florence to nineteen hours, Lake creek lu:s been bridged st the upper crossing, and the coun ty authorities have let the contract for a i'.IH'M bridge at the lower crossing. Dead wood and Indian creeks have laen bridged, the stage road completed to deep water navi gation and an elegant drive opened to the WJUderlaiid of Cap. Perpetua. The s'.rsmer Mischief has found business enough for three trips sntl the Rosa Olm-n one. Within a short time increase iu traffic will be sulfieieiit to employ steamers at regular aud frequeut intervals. Negotiations are also pending regarding the laanagt meiit of a staunch oceau vetsel o l owned and manag d by parties living iu Florence. GEO. M. MILLER.
