CM) T2S EXCEUEfiCE OF SYRUP CF 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 Svrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing1 the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Svrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other pa ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fia Sykup 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 bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate.

Many Oreeon Klver and Harbor Im- " romnta are Being Held Dp. A good many improvements are be ing held up in Oregon cd account of the delav of congress in passing the river and harbor bill. The appropriations neceeeary to carry forward many river and bay -contracts have not yet bceu made, but are to be included in the river and harbor hill now pending. Among those held up in this pare of the country are the jetties at the en trance to Coquille river, removing ob structions in upper Ooquille river, the completion oi the jetties at the entrance 'to Coos bay, the removal of obstructions in Coos river, the jetties at tne moutn of Siuslaw river, the jetties of Yaquina bay, work in Tillamook bay and the completion of the work on the Cascade locks. The upper walla at the locks have never been completed, though the locks can be ueed as thev now stand. There is another job which depends partly on the river and harbor appro priations. It is the proposed boat rail way from The Dalles to Celilo. All of the right of way has not yet been arranged for this boat railway, although it has been condemned, and the papers have long since been forwarded to Washington for approval. When they are returned and the condemned pro perty is paid for by the government, nothing will remain to be done, but the appropriating of the funds sufficient to do the work. t Major Hart's office, while always busy, will be doing business on a large ecale as soon as the necessary appropriations are made to push forward the above con tracts.
