Mile Rock Light Station.
San Francisco, March 24. The
plana and specifications for the light
and fog signal station that is to be
built upon Mile rock, at the entrance
to this harbor, which were prepared
undor the supervision of Lieutenant
Colonel Thomas H. Handbury, light
house engineer of the twelfth district,
and sent to the lighthouse board in
Washington some time since for en
trial examination, have recently been
returned to hini approved. As soon as
the drawings can be photographed
and the specifications printed, pro

will be advertised for..
Repairs, to the Chinook.
The work of repairing the bar dredge
Chinook will probably require more
than the three or four weeks at first
estimated. Besides the repairs to the
boilers, oil-burning apparatus will be
Installed, and this work will require
considerable time. The determination
of the department to make the dredge
an oil burner is gratifying, as the
change will effect a saving of some
thing like 140,000 annually. The cost
of operating the dredge comes out of
the bar appropriation at the present
time, -so every dollar saved helps the
jetty work Just that much. By the
time the repairs are finished fine
weather will prevail, and the Chinook
will then be afforded an opportunity
of demonstrating her usefulness. That
era suffer they cheerfully lend a help

which brought relief to them that you

house, foot of Eighth street," residing
at 230 Commercial street,tsays: "About
a year ago we moved here from Port
land and as I had a great deal to look
after I overdid myself and the result
was I brought on kidney trouble. My
back began to ache and as time rolled
thetic side of womankind. When oth
by it kept getting worse instead of
better. It finally grew so bad that I
could scarcely stoop or straighten af
ter stooping. When I did any work re
quiring bending I could hardly get up
and I 'had headaches, dizzy spells and
at times everything before me looked
blurred. I was Just about to etart
to the store for a plaster to put on my
back when I read about Doan's Kidney
Pills, and as they were so highly rec
ommended for kidney trouble I made
up my mind to try them and procured
a box at Charles Rogers' drug store
on Commercial street They went
right to the root of the disease and
helped me from the start and before
I had finished the box I was cured.
Everything Is changed with me now
and I have no symptoms of kidney
trouble whatever."
