You Can Depend Upon Obtaining Re
suits Results That Last
"Will it euro?" Is always the first
question asked by a sufferer who has
made up bis mind to take a course
of treatment for any kidney aliment.
"Will I stay cured?" follows as a mat
te-r of course. If the reader is in doubt
about what method to follow, read
this statement carefully.
Frank Stltes, bricklayer, of 5149
Thirty-third Ave., Denver, Colo., says:
"It Is over three years since I recom
mended Doan's Kidney Pills througn
our Denver papers. At that time they
stopped pain in my back and through
the sides, which although never severe
nough to lay me up, was sufficient to
cause more annoyance than anyone
hould endure, when Doan's Kidney
Pills can bo so easily procured. If I
bad not received positive benefit
when the remedy first came to my
notice, I would be tho last man in
Denver to publicly indorso tho medi
cine, and if the results obtained from
the treatment with Doan's Kidney
Pills had not been permanent, nothing
could Induco me to reindorse this
medicine. The merits of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, should bo universally
known."

Theaters Exempt From Sunday Clos

Salem, Ore, Feb. 23. Tho house
expressed Itself in favor of a lint sal
ary for the stato printer by passing
Senator Miller's 1)111 to place that offi
cial on a Hat salary of $3500 after
1907.
Orton wanted to know what tho
stato would do for a printing plant.
"Private people own tho present
plant and If you put your state printer
on n salary he will be here without
tools to do tho work. The logical
tiling to do would he to appiopriate
$10,000 for a printing plant."
"Let that go until the next session."
said Bllyeu, and so the house decid
ed.
No State Examiner.
( Senator Booth's bill for an act ere-
tatlng tho ofllce of state examiner of
public officers and public ofllcos. al
lowing that officer a salary of $2100
a year and $1500 for clerical aid. was
brought to a sudden standstill when
It reached the house. In committee
of the whole tho provisions of the bill
were adopted with amendments, and
on tho final vote it was defeated.
Then a motion to reconsider was
made and this. too. received no sup
port, so tho measure was permanently
burled.
The bill was supposed to appoint
an officer who would do the work of
the various committees appointed by
the legislature at every session to ex
amine into the accounts and affairs
of the various state and charitable in
stitutions, and it was claimed that
this would do away with considerable
expense.
i The measure also provided that the
i governor should make the appoint-
ment and this was amended, on mo
'tion of Hodson of Multnomah, to give
the appointive power to the governor.
I secretary of stato and state treasurer.
'The bill was not adopted, and when
I it came up for reconsideration there
were not sufficient votes to do so.
Theaters Exempt.
Theaters will he exempt from the
general Sunday closing law, according
to the vote taken by the house on sen
ate bill No. 123. This bill was intro
duced by Sweek and amended the ex
isting law in regard to theaters only.
Ban on Explosives.
Senator Smith's bill to prohibit the
selling, exchanging, bartering or giv
ing to any child under 11 any explos
ive article other than an ordinary fire
cacker containing not more than 10
grains of gunpowder, or flreams ex
cept those used to explode caps, was
passed,
If the governor signs the senate bill
Introduced by Rand the supremo court
of tho state will have two terms of
court at Pendleton, one in May and
the other in November instead of one
term as at tho present. The bill also
proposes an increase of salary for this
additional work from $1500 to $2500,
making the total salary of the su
preme justices $1500 a year.
Another District.
Senator Rand's bill to constitute
Baker county the eighth judicial dis-l
trlct of Oregon was passed Friday
afternoon, 35 voting in favor of it.
Robbins of Baker said tho bill was
necessary on acount of tho amount
of legal business in that county. Kay
thought the expense entailed would be
too much and Davey declared that one
judge ought to bo able to look after
tho business of Baker, Union and
Wallowa counties. The bill was pass
ed, however. Judge Eakin and Dis
trict Attorney White of that district
will retain their positions.
Senator Pierce's bill, which passed
tho house Friday afternoon, provides
that tho county assessor shall he
elected for four years instead of two
years as at the present.
Several Clips Have Been Engaged at
a Good Figure,
Fj, J. Burke, representing H. C.
.ludd & Root, of Hartford, Conn., has
made soveral wool contracts for wool
on the sheeps' back this season In tho
Heppner district.
Tho following growers have con
tracted: Carty Bros., Ed and Pat lie
David. W. B. Finloy, A. Andrews, and
C. C. Curtis. The clips In tho aggre
gate will amount to 250.000 pounds,
and tho price is in tho neighborhood
of 9 Vi cents per pound.
These prices are encouraging to tho
sheepmen for It Is fully a cent a
pound above the offerings at this time
last year.
On this basis of 9'4 cents for tho
heavy wools, the light wools of tho
foothills are worth about 11 cents per
pound.
The coming clip promises to be
very fine this season. Stockmen have
had plenty of feed and the herds
have been well fed and wintered.1

Wonderful Value of Alaskan Timber
Profits of White Pass Line Some
thing Enormous Solomon City a
Goor Harbor.
It looks as though one of the many
railroads incorporated to tap parts of
Alaska wil bo built this year, and
tbat is the Council City & Solomon
River Railroad Company, hacked by
Chicago and Now York people, says
a Portland dispatch.
The articles have been filed with the
general land ofllce. Washington, D. C,
and the right of way for the first 100
miles is already secured. The system
will tap the principal mining points in
the Cape Nome territory, known as
Solomon River, Council City. Ophlr
Creek and Blue Stone. Solomon, he
low Nome City, is one terminus on
tidewater.
The articles permit the company to
carry on a general hotel business,
stores, build factoites, lumber mill."
and everything llkelj to gc into con
nection with a railroad en the ripen
ing of a country. Tho company is
allowed 20 acres of station ground for
each 10 miles constructed, aud al
ready has 13,000 on which it has com
plete railroad rights.
Solomon is said to bo one of tho
best places on that coast for the land
ing of vessels. After running 10 miles
from Solomon the proposed roud will
strike timber worth $200 to $:'00 per
1000 feet, and this in itself will prove
a largo source of revenue to the road.
No better proof of the vast earning
possibilities of the road is needed
than the showing of three railroads
built in Alaska in the past five years.
The White Pass & Yukon road,
built in 1S9S-99. at a cost of something
like $3,000,000 for 112 miles, paid
nearly $2,000,000 profits the first two
seasons of its operation. Its stock
started at $0.50 per share in 1S9S and
Is now quoted above $500 rer share
The company paid a GO per cent divi
dend last year.
The Llttlo Wild Cooso Railroad,
running only five and thice-elghts
miles hetweon Nome City nnd Anvil
Creek, which was built by a California
millionaire at a total cost :if less than
$30,000, Is teported on good authority
to have paiu the cost of Its construc
tion the first few months ef Its opera
tion, making In one dull season $2S0.
000 net profit. Tho rate charged for
the five-mile Journey was St per pas
senger, and the freight chargo was $10
per ton. being about tho same as is
charged for carriage from Seattle to
Nome a distance of 2G00 nilloa.
The Wild Cooso Company also built
a short lino of about six miles from
Council City to Aplln Creek, which
has paid enormously on tho small in
vestment. It Is estimated that the Solomon
River Railroad can ho built at a cost
of from $S000 to $12,000 per mile. On
tho surveyed routo from Solomon City
to Council City not a single bridge
will have to he built.
Very few people In the United
States realize the extent and possibil
ities of Alaska. It has an area of
neatly COO.OOO srpiaro miles, equal to
the combined area of tho New Eng
land. Middle and Southern states, and
millions of Its acres have never been
traversed by a white man. It Is not
by any means a frozen, barren waste,
but in not a few sections farming and
stock raising are developing rapidly.
It is the largest fish and fur producing
country in the world.
