THE EXCaiENCE OF SYBUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, anil we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing' the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fio Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding1 the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing1 of the Cali
fornia Fia Strup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and

Items of General Interest Gleaned
From the Thriving; Paclfio
States.
Railroad Extension.
Considerale excitement prevails from
Lakeview, Lake county, Oregon, all
along the line to Reno. Nev., owing to
the recent authenticated report of the
extension of the Nevada & California
railroad from Amedu, Cal., north. The
news of the purchase of over 3,000 tons
of steel rails in New York by the own
ers of this road was sent out last week,
and the material will be shipped im
mediately to Amedu, preparatory to
beginning of extension work in the
spring. This is a narrow-guage road
now terminating at Amedu, and it is
concluded that the next terminus will
be Van Loans, 65 miles north, and
nearly orossing over the great Mada
line plains. It will place Lakeview
within 105 miles of railroad transior
tation, and will make a considerable
difference in stock shipping, freighting
and passenger travel. The object ol
the proposed extension is to head off
the Southern Pacific Company, which
is now extending its line from Upton
through the great McCloud timber belt
to Fall River. ,
Speedy Mall Carriers.
All records of ice travel on the Yu
kon have been broken by the recent feat
of the mounted police of the Northwest
teriitory in bringing a big shipment
of mail from Dawson to Skagway in
nine days and 10 hours. The mail
left Dawson on the morning of January
16 and was in Skagway before noon on
January 31. The record was made by
the Canadian officials', it is said, to
show that they eould greatly reduce
the time being made by the United
States mail contractors.
Bljr Sale of Wheat.
With the sale of about 500,000 bush
els of wheat on a basis of 50 cents for
No. 1 club, net, to the farmers, the
wheat market has taken on a quieter
tone at Pendleton, Or., and o sales
are being recorded. The distribution
of 1250,000 of ready money in this com
munity has given considerable impetus
to retail business, whioh had become
somewhat stagnant fiom the failure of
the producers to realize either on wheat
or wool.
Schooner Sander Libeled.
The schooner Fred E. Sander, at the
Taooma mill loading lumber for Yallejo
Jnnotion, has been libeled by James
Gillespie, formerly a cook on her, for
1318. The suit was brought while the
ship .was on the lower Sound. The
case will be heard in Seattle. Since
coming to Tacoma the captain and all
of the crew who were in her before,
with the exception of a Mexican,' who
speaks no English, have left her.
Farming; Operations Resumed.
Farming operations are in active
progress in the country south and west
of Colfax, Wash., and last week hun
dreds of acres were plowed for spring
seeding. Farmers in the Alkali flat

A Girl Attacked.
On Sunday, an unknown man at
tacked the 14-year-olddanghter of O. I.

in a stubble field, rounding np cows.
The man jumped from behind a clump
of brush, threw the girl on the ground,
took off one of her shoes and ordered
her to skip. Mr. Morris . heard the
screams of his daughter, and ran to hei
rescue, but the assailant wr.s nowhere
to be found.

The steamship City of Columbia was
put up for sale at San Francisco at the

purchaser. The police department will
now indorse the petition of the seamen
of the Columbia that the vessel be put
up for as much as she will bring. The
sailors of the vessel are really in a very
bad shape. Most of them have not a

in weeks.
Overhauling a Nail Plant.
The report published in the Port
Townsend Leader a few days ago to
the effect that the nail works plant
was being wrecked for the purpose of
shipping the machinery elsewhere, wae
a mistake. It originated from the fact
that several workmen were busily en
gaged in overhauling the machinery.
When the plant will resume work has
not been definitely settled.
Income From Clams.
According to the Astorian, C. N.
Carnahan, as a iesult of a personal in
vestigation of the subject, finds that
the estimate of value of the olam prod
uct of Clatsop county contained in
Fish Commissioner McQuire's report
is wrong. Mr. McGuire puts the an
nual value of Clatsop county clams at
$900. Mr. Carnahan states that it is
very close to $10,000.

Wilson stated that he had expected
support from various seotions of the
state that did not come to him, and

day to day that he would make a bet
ter showing, he had to admit that he
could not bring to him support that he
had counted upon. It was then agreed
that his men should be released. There

gotiations to take Wilson's men into
camp, wnich they did very gracefully.

order, Senator Wilshire, of Seattle,
representing the united King county
and Ankeny forces, stated that the ob
ject of the caucus call, under which
they were operating was signed with
the understanding that the caucus, as a
whole, was to select a man for senator,
and that it was unfair for'- i part ol
the members to organize - .liin the
oaucus and decide upon the man to be
selected..,- This statement was received
with indulgent smiles by the Foster

arrangement I favor the build
ing of the Nicaragua canal. I am for
sound money and a thorough business
man's administration of our public
affairs. I favor an open river policy
for the Columbia and as a general
pioposition favor river and harbor im
provements of all kinds. In a word, I
desire to see. the possibilities of the
Pacific coast, particularly of my own
state, realized, and I shall do all in my
power to advance the material welfare
of Washington."

BEECHER ON ADVERTISING
,"" DOCTORS.
San Francisco Chronicle.
"I am glad that the doctor cured
him; I am glad that the doctor put it into
the paper that be could cure him. And if
any doctor is certain he can cure such
diseases and don't put it into the paper, I
am sorry. What a pity it would have
been had this doctor come to town with
his wealth of science and experience and
gone away leaving him uncured ! What a
pity it would have been if he had been so
prejudiced against advertising as to read
the responsible certificates of the doctor
and gave him the go-by as a quack ! What
are newspapers for,- if not to circulate in
formation ? What more valuable informa
tion can a newspaper give than to tell a
sick man where he can be cured? If a
ni an has devoted his life and labor to the
study of a special class of diseases, the
necessity oi nis saving so Decomes au me
more pressing.- His duty to advertise be
comes imperious. A really able man.
whatever be bis gifts, makes a great mis
take if he fails to use those gifts through
want of advertising."
The above extract from an article by the
Rev. Mr. Beecher embodies a sound view
of the subject of advertising. Suppose Dr.
Darrin, at 265 Morrison street, this city,
had come to the citv and not advertised.

cured her; and she has never been troubled

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.
Mrs. W. E. Paxtost, You no; town.
North Dakota, writes about her strug
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham: It is with
pleasure that 1 add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
cable medicine.
After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was "very
poor. I had leucorrhoea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until 1 could do
to work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
struations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
" I took medicine from a good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. I was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when I read your advertisement in a
paper. I sent at once for a bottle ot
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking- two-thirds of
the bottle I felt so much better that I
send for two more. After using three
bottles I felt as strong and well as any
one.
" I think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady I mee t suf
fering from this trouble."
Maternity is a wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
' The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham'
address is Lynn, Mass.
