A RACE OF DWARFS.
Observations of Mr. Walter Harris in the
At ias Kange.
The existence of a race of dwarfs on
the Atlas range, about which there
was an animated controversy last
year, has received unexpected confirm
ation. Mr. Walter IJ. Harris, who
lately returned from a journey in
southern Morocco, communicates
these facts to the London Times:
While traveling along the foot of the
mountains he saw thirteen or fourteen
persons, none of whom were over four
feet six inches in height, natives of
the upper mountain regions,
i The Moors describe them as ' :a wild
people, living in houses built in the
rocks and snow, hunting mouflon with
extraordinary agility, and given . to
shooting anyone penetrating to their
domains." He attributes their small
stature, not, as some have asserted, to
the fact that they are the remnants of
the trogidytes, but to the circum
stances in which they live. He be
lieves them- to be "merely a certain
collection of Shleh tribes, who,
through the high altitudes at which
they live, and the extremes of climate
they are subject to, from their poverty
and inability to grow crops, from the
scarcity and bad quality of such food
as they are able to collect, have, in the
lapse of centuries, become of almost
extraordinary stunted growth."
On his return journey to the coast
Mr. Harris visited the artificial caves
of Ain Tarsilt, which, from the height
of the roofs and the size of the doors,
windows and alcoves for beds, were
evidently the work of dwarfs. He
does not venture an .opinion, however,
as to whether any descendants of this
people are still living.

overalls nt 50 cents per pair go to N.

What is lacking is .truth and confi
dence. If there were absolute truth on
the one hand and absolute confidence on
the other, it wouldn't be necessary for
the makers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Kenn
edy to back up a plain statement of fact
by a $500 guarantee. They say "If we
can't cure you (make it personal, please,)
of catarrh in the head, in any form or
stage, we'll pay you $500 for your
trouble in making the trial." "An ad
vertising fake," you say. Funny, isn't
it, how some people prefer sickness to
health when the remedy is positive and
the guarantee absolute. Wise men don't
put money back of "fakes." And "fak
ing" doesn't pay.

The rich grazing country along the eastern slope of the Cas

The salmon fisheries are the finest on the Columbia, yielding

The products of the beautiful Klickitat valley find market
here, and the country south and east has this year filled the
warehouses, and lill available storage places to overflowing with
their products.
ITS WEALTH.
It is the richest city of its size on the coast and its money is
