lation .of the two derricks, the work'
is being-carried on with far greater
rapidity than on any former building of
this class erected , In Portland. The
steel beams are ahout 25 per cent
heavier than those that went Into the
frame of either the Wells-Fargo or
ber oh the other hand remain weak, the
past few days having shown a decline
In the shingle market on Puget sound.
But manfacturers hope for better prices
in the near future. At any rate, they
contend that shingles will never be
cneaper than right now.
The local demand for lumber has been
brisk air fall but It is expected to di
minish to a certain extent during the
wet weather when the building activity
as a. rule shows a material falling off.
Cement is In bigger demand than for
some time and a large percentage of the
surplus that caused Importers consid
erable worry' some weeks ago has been
disposed of at- advanced figures. Two
cargoes have Just arrived' here from
Europe but it Is held that It will not
be long before they have found their
way out of the warehouse along" the
waterfront. Most of the cement now

better grades, the cheap stuff having
been gobbled up during the period of
depression by parties building to sell.

will be 40 feet high- The Santa Fe has

Gay, doing an extensive shipping busi

train of 32 loaded cars can be taken Into
the building, and in less than five hours

The establishment of an Immense pre

determined upon after a thorough In

It is a well understood fact that ap-
les as well as citrus fruits remain In

after being picked deteriorate at a rate
largely proportionate to the tempera

held.

A SURPRISED MINISTER
Hyomei Cured Bronchial Catarrh Af
ter He Had Given Up in Despair.
''For many years I have been a suf
ferer from bronchial catarrh, and had
despaired of anything like a cure. Judge
of my pleasant surprise when 1 first
used Hyomei, which brought complete
relief. Hyomei has been a veritahle -godsend.
"Rev. Charles Hartley, Sardinia,
Ohio.
There are many readersof Tli Jour
nal who are suffering from catarrh,
either nasal or bronchial. Many of these
despair of ever being cured. They have
soaked their stomachs with nostrums
until they are dlsgucted with all medi
cines, and are now traveling their mis
erable way, allowing the devilish germs
of catarrh to sap them of their health,
energy and vitality. ...
But let us reason together. Wood
ard, Clarke & Co., the druggists, havo
a guaranteed remedy for catarrh, colds,
coughs, bronchitis, croup, and all In
flammatory diseases of the nova, throat
and bronchial tubes. The name of this
remarkable remedy is Hyomei, and If
It doesn't cure they will give you your
money back.
' Hyomei (pronounced HlgH-o-me) Is
medicated air; you just ' breathe it
through the inhaler over the inflamed
and germ ridden membrane, and Its
soothing antiseptic properties will nllav
the Inflammation, destroy .the germs,
and restore the entire respiratory tract
to its normal conditions.
A complete Hyomei outfit, Including
a hard rubber Inhaler, costs but $1.00,
and an extra bottle of Hyomei. if after
wards needed, costs but 50 cents. See
