In an Isolated pot and had no opportunity to converse 'with anyone r anythln but nature. To assist In passing away th hours he concluded to keep a diary.

February 9 The. air has been charged with Urge .drops of. moisture , all day. .They made themselves felt whenever X ventured out, which was not often. February 10 Moss is beginning to sprout on the roof of my cabin, al though the building is less than a month old. It Is gently misting. February 11 More water to. the autre inch sinks Into my ranch, I ac tually believe, than any other equal area of land In the world.

Just to get in out of the wet for a brief period. : February 25 I am here and durn mj skin for cumins; it precipitates here oc CRslonuJly, I observe. , , . The Popular Vote of 1904 Xs pnaBiaovsly tn ravor' of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets They Arc . the nation's ravorite. No article on the market,1 whatever t the purpose for which it was created, can be a phenomenal , success and be universally popular unless it possesses great and uniailing merit. Interior and worthless articles may flourish for a limited time ir their praises are sung by sufficient clever and catchy advertising; but tnetr days are numbered from the start, and their finish Is a foregone con clusion. This' la an age of the usrvtval of the Attest, and only articles of trua worth endure. The unparalleled and phenomenal suc cess of Ktuart's Dyspepsia Tablets from a business standpoint is not unnatural nor surprising, it is due directly to their, unparalleled and phenomenal sue cs In curing multiplied thousands of cases of dyspepsia throughout the English-speaking world. The reason of the wonderful' success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets h so plain and simple that a child can understand. It Is this and nothing more; they are natural In their workings and . effects. They take up the work of the worn and wantea stomach and ao it just as me stomach did when It was well and strong and able. They actually digest the food, and do It thoroughly, completely and in dependently, thus giving the weak and weary stomach an opportunity to renew and regain Its wasted strength. You forget that you have a stomach just as .you did when you were a healthy boy or girl, and Nature restores and heals that organ and makes It well and strong. A 8t Louis business man says: '1 was a confirmed dyepeptlo for years. What I ate had to be forced down and most of It soured or lay like lead in my stomach and did me no good. 1 was In constant misery, both in mind and body, ,and came to be cranky, morose and Irri table. My natural disposition, which was cheerful and pleasant, left me and I was alienating all my friends. The doctor did me no good. My wife finally worried me into buying a box of Htu art'a Dyspepsia Tablets, which I began taking under protest, as I had.no faith in anything or anybody. I was sore on creation. "I had not taken a third of that boa before J noticed a decided and moat wel come ehange. I could enjoy a good meal and feel no bad effect following it. I forgot my stomach and had a chance to think about something else. I went ahead with my business in ease and eomfort. . 81 boxes of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets at a total outlay of 13.00 cured me completely and I hav not suf fered a pain from dyspepsia for two years. 1 have an appetite like a sixteen-year-old boy. I wish everyone who suf fers from dyspepsia could know what a change this great remedy .made tn ma" Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all druagtsta everywhere at Se cents a box. All druggists carry them and the best dortjvre are prescribing ; them. Ton need not fear that you will over be unable to get them; for, because of the good they hav done mankind and the suffering they , have relieved and the hspptrtes they have-caused, the fain mid1 the micveaa and the- popularity ot' 8t unrt's Dyspepsia Tablf from gener a lion unto generation will tadui o, , Portland, Feb. J. To the Editor of The Journal The startling and distress ing facts that are being brought to light, -relative io th .. awfuL1rafflc In girls.' yes, organized, systematic traffic in girls is arousing the horror and in dignation of all right-minded, humanity loving' men, and women. The St Louis Advocate sent out a stirring appeal. to all country papera to warn glrla to stay away from St Louis. ' It saya "the gateway of St. Louis la the great union depot which Is beset with a thousand snares for unwary foot. Any young girl who comes through the. gates Into, t ho Midway is at once spotted, and if It be possible the snare' will be spread in her path that she cannot escape,"' ' , ,-The - many, tempting advertisements are often mere baita for ignorance and tnnooence, It further says: "As a matter of course, the young man la almost equally exposed so far aa moral or even, physical safety - Is con cerned. If the country papers will only keep these things before their readers they will serve God and humanity." j. In a persona letter .from a friend connected with one of the -papers in Bt Louis she pleads , for the samo work through the press. The Tress is a tre mendous power and If Its. batteries are turned against this gigantic evil, aye crime, great "arrest of thought" would be the lever under this-evil to pry it up and get It abolished. ' '- ' V -Hear what Ja J said concerning this matter: ,f "It has now developed that . a syndicate controlling almost unlimited resouroe has been formed, and are sending out agents and advertisements all over the world, for girls for the world's fair at St Louis. The object is to establish an Immense demi-monde, district, where a great traffic In glrla and their virtue may b carried on. In other words, an Immense crib district, such as we have in Los Angeles, where all kinds of lewd ness and vice may hold high carnival. Will the people submit to ltr Callfor nia Voice. In stilt another paper we And the fol lowing: "A . certain syndicate has entered Into a contract with the world's fair com missioners under 'which. It is granted the privilege, of erecting certain buildings near the entrance to the exposition grottnd,i2J?hese buildings' are now. in process of erection. They are large massive structures and are to all out ward appearances hotels,' lodging houses and similar places for the entertainment of visitor to the- world's fair. Now mark the conditions of the contract In order to secure these concessions the syndicate agrees first, to pay the world's commission a stipulated sum of money; second, to provide 25,000 Innocent girls to be used for the gratification of the brutal pasalon of the devils in human form who are capable of taking advant age of such a Condition! Note the ad jective, innocent girls. How are inno cent girls to be obtained? There oan be but one way. It means that they are to be kidnaped, and these buildings are being - constructed and arranged with that special purpose in view. - . . i. These facts have been published and hinted at but "what Is being done? The world held its breath in, horror when the, news of the awful disaster In the Chicago theatre was (leaned around 4h globe, but calmly contemplates -the fact that 25,000 pure girls are to be torn from their homes, outraged, ruined, lost,, body and soul. Think of It, fathers, mothers, you who have beautiful daugh ters of your own, think, of it. Chris tian people; think of It. ministers of LChriat'a gospel, you - who - from - your pulpits have access to the ears of mil lions; think of it; men of the press, you who send your message wherever man Is found; think of it every man and woman In whose breast beats a heart to be stirred by such a tale of horror; think of It and then arise in the power and righteous Indignation and declare that while God reigns this hell-born eontract shall never be fulfilled." Happy Homes. A letter received this morning says, cannot something be done? 8urely once the facts are thoroughly known -something will be dona and Christian America with its twentieth century Intelligence, culture, refinement, will work concertedly to stamp this hideous evil out of existence.

STRANGE PELT IS ' PUZZLER TO EXPERTS Mr. Nellson. formerly a deputy sheriff of Multnomah county, but now residing; at Jarvts.. owns a skin that no furrier In Portland is able to classify. Local fur experts all . state that the skin la from South America; they ean tell that much about It and that's all. 8outh America Is a very large country and more sorts of animals than two roam Its hUIs and valleys. The skin Is a -small one. Some time aro Mr.. Nellson made a visit to Portland- and brought with him the unknown fur. The pelt was given him a year ago by a sailor friend, and ever since the owner has been trying to have some one tell him the nam of the animal that , was the first owner. L Jacobs, who knows nearly, every ani mal In the world, from a rat to a rhinoceros, was unable to tell the name of the skin showed him by Mr. llson. "1 am sure It Is from a South Ameri can animal, but that's as far as I can go." said Mr. Jacobs, after he had felt and aroelled of the strange pelt. Other local fur experts were consulted, but none of them could throw any light on the species of the animal that grew the fur. But all said they were sure that the beast came from the southern part of the western hemisphere.

I am en routs to Southern Oregon to examine (he property of the Enterprise Mining company, which is owned by people at Stevens' Point. Wis. I have just com pleted an examination of the Forest Mining: company's property In the Cable Cove district above Sumpter. This property consists of 11 claims. There are several distinct, well aenneo. true fissure veins varying In width from 7 to 63 feet. The assays run considerably over $100 a ton In gold. sUver and cop per, but the average value is about 125 a ton. Dr. F. A. Walters, who is one of the principal stockholders In both of these properties, accompanies me. I prefer not to say anything further about these mines, leaving the talking pare of the business to him." Dr. Walters said: "My home is at Stevens Point. Wis.

A bxo mo, Jack Smith, a rancher living on Sau vies island, shot and killed a gray eagle yesterday which measured seven feet in length with wings extended. The bird was brought to Portland last evening on the steamer America. It Is one ot the finest specimens ever seen In thlst locality. When he shot the bird It was attempting to carry away a young pig. The eagle was about II feet In the air, and th squirming rooter was making th air resound with Its squeals, when Smith succeeded In fatally wound ing the big feathered thief. Eagles are said to be quits numerous on the Island, and they are causing th ranchmen no end of trouble. During the winter they have killed a number of pigs and lambs. Several of th birds hav been killed lately, but none of the others was so large as the on Smith shot ABBS XBMBBBHs.

Scott's Emulsion is the best protection against colds, grippe and ' pneu monia, because it is a heat and fat producing food of the highest quality., , After a careful Investigation the state board of health has decided that Dr. Llnklater did his duty in the case of the Brooks family, afflicted wHh measles, and is not amenable to prosecution un der the health law. It was reported to the county board of health that the phy sician failed to quarantine the family, or to notify the proper authorities of the development of the disease. . The whole trouble arose from a slight delay in making the -reportr -due to an. odd reason. Two physicians were in at tendance and each hung back in making a report on the belief that the other had already dope so. The family with measles lives across the line in Wash ington county and a physician from this side was called first Dr. Llnklnter being summoned afterward. The report was finally made to the Washington county board ot health and In tlm reached the state board. - -' Four cases of smallpox have broken out Just across the Washington county line.
