ISiS Columbia avenue, announces a failure in the case of Mr. W., a prom inent cltlsen who had taken the com pound for several months. We regret that we were not written to so that they could have been counseled with. There ara - often cases in which ex perience is of great help in alleviating complications that bar recovery. We auota -from our Philadelphia agent's very interesting letter: we had two very . gratifying renorts last week. Mrs. C. .wrltea from At lantic City that aha succeeded in elim inating tne sugar, irom wmcn sne naa suffered for several yeara She la the widow of a physician and was at first fully convinced that diabetes was In curable. She adds: 'Fulton's Diabetic Compound auceeeded after several spe cialists in ID u rope naa lauea. Tne otner case: "A healthy-looking woman walked into our office and announced that two years ago Fulton s Compound had cured her of diabetes, and the remarkable part of it is that three bottles Dor- formed the miracle. Her husband losing his position rendered her unable to con tinue taking it but to the surprise of her physician, she has not had any re turn of the malady, although she has been eating without diet for a year. She called to purchase a bottle of Renal for her husband." We never heard of a case of diabetes yielding to less than two dozen bottles and It often takes two and three times that la long-established, stubborn cases. Hence, tha case above reported was most unusual. This treatment, while effective In great majority of all cases, is in chronic na oosunaie cases slow in botli kidney aisease ana anneies. ttecent mciment cases of kidney. disease often yield to few bottles, mil chronic forms of both Blight's disease and diabetes require great patience, and this cannot be Im pressed too tnorougtuy on tho patient For kidney disease, get Fulton's R.

Lumber and tie mills are gradually resuming operations throughout this district and it is said that by next spring very few, if any mills will be lying idle. The demand for lumber haa improved gradually during tha past three months until now it is nearly normal. Heavy orders are looked for next srirlng from the east. The Pacific Lumber & Manufacturing rompauys hardwood sawmill in North Portland was started this week and is now cutting about 80,000 feet 'dally. Eventually the planer will be put to work when the mill will be ready to supply the local market with high grade oak flooring and other material, prin cipally in oak. Tha mill is also fcquippea ior cutting son wooa. The demand for uppers In fir is still strong and there is no oversupply among the mills. The local market is net expected to Be aa erisa auring ine next few months as It baa been In the past but it is believed it will keep up remarkably well for this time of the year. Flooring In large lota la scarce and commands a good price. The logging camps down , the river are nearly all running now although not to the fullest capacity. They are expected to increase their crews in the near future In view of the Increasing demand for toga WILL OUILD ON THE EAST SIDE John B. Harrington, who this week purchased through Mall A Von Borstei a quarter block at the northwest corner of East Burnslde and East Eleventh streets, paying for the property $7,600. will improve the site in the early spring with an apartment bouse, which will probably be one of the largest and handsomest buildings of the kind in the city. - Portland Day at Albany Apple Fair.

That cement blocks as construction material for dwellings have coma Into very general favor among both builders and contractors In Pottland Is proved by the fact that not leas than a dozen handsome homes built of this material have been erected during the past few months. A new cement block manufac turing company haa moved its plant from Walnut Park to Ladd's addition, where it has, contracts for ths erection of four very large residences of a type entirely new. These buildings are to contain all modern" conveniences, includ ing electric cooking appliances, refriger ator and cold storage closets, and to make them even mora complete,' a sys tem of fireless cookers will be installed. Theaa residences are to be tha fore runners of a number of similar resi dences which it is proposed to erect In this tract No two will be alike In architectural design and they will differ altogether tn appearance. The average cost of these buildings will be between $7,000 and $10,000.
