I It m I- "I Br WE BELIEVE IN DOCTORS We believe that every man when he is sick should call a doc tor, and not try to "doctor" himself. We believe there would be far less sickness far better health--if everybody would do everything possible to co operate with doctors in taking better care of their health. We believe that the best way, always, is 'to have a doctor flee what the matter is, and write a prescrip tion for it, and then have a reliable druggist prepare the medicine according to the prescription. : -:- -:- Prescriptions our Specialty.

Public officials, like all other creat ures of humanity, are liable to err, and especially so If their acts are never scrutinized by the public, that Is, their work gone over by others and their stewardship of the trusts In their keeping published to those whom they serve. The taxpayers of Portland are learn- , John Towne, of Oreat Falls, Mont, who Is hero to buy yearling wethers snys that the work on the government Irrigation project in Northern Mou tana will soon be under way. A dam will be built across tho St. Mary's liver just below St. Mary's lake and I the waters of that stream will be, by means of a long canal, led Into .Milk 1 river. This work will Involve nn ex I iiondlture of one or two million tlol lars and will reclaim a vast stretch of land In Northern Montana, along the Uritlsh Columbia border. The land . thus reclaimed will be taken up by , tinall ranchers who will raise altalfa for winter feeding stock, that conn I try having proved a .splendid stock country. .Mr. Towne looks to see a I... ttttn till n fnnt itimilllll n .1 IW . 7. ., .

And possibly this revelation In Multnomah county wllll result in more frequent and rigid examinations being made throughout the state. Since tho terms of county officers aro two years, there should be biennial examinations of the books and ac counts of every officer who receives or disburses public funds. No officer should be permitted to retire from office and have his bond thoroughly overhauled by a competent expert and the findings published. This rule need not be applied on the hypothesis that officials are dishonest, but upon the principle that tho taxpayers have a right to know what is being dono with the money collected from them and how they are served by the offic ials.

ALASKA'S DISHONEST OFFICIALS Alaska has been unfortunate in the selection of federal, officers. Judge Noyes, of Rutte. after shameless cor ruption was finally removed. Various other government officials have come back with tarnished reputations. It seems hard to get upright, honest and capable officials to administer the Jaws In that far Northern possession. Charges , are now being Investigated in which army officers are Involved. The opportunities for "grafting" In Alaska are excellent, and certain army officers have been unable to resist making the most of their opportunities coal train and help themselves. The essential hoodlum is not always found In the saloon. He is tho one who Is careless of Ills neighbor. Who can defend the essential hoodlumlsm of him who pours great clouds of I smoke Into my face, my parlor and Deuruum; is not my property as sa cred as Ills? Must I be compelled to cough and to smother and be smirch ed that his sacred right to get a dollar be not troubled? How long-suffering we are with tho dollar hunter. Wore It not for him we might have gas in every house and "No Smoking Allow ed" nailed on every chimney. Mis taking usage for heaven's law and the conventional as of equal authority with divine revelation, It Is no wonder that so many of you are kenneled by' political parties which you yourselves have made. When you come back to first principles you can see that there are no rights In property they are in tho people. Every right you have po litically is from the people. Thero can bo no rights either In law or equity to aught that injures the peo ple. Dr. Hale In pleading for munici pal coal yards does not go far enough. We want a municipal gas plant, with every house heated with gas at cost, factories and all. May wo not as wisely provide our own gas as our own water? Tho highwaymen of old stopped out upon tho highway, robbed his victim and then lied. Tho modern highway man takes the highway Itself the railroad. Imitating priests and kings of old, ho tells that he has divine right to the roads and the freight thereof; thus to his plunder ho adds Impudent blasphemy. Becauso polit ical office holders do not enforce tho law the devil's dance of capital Is making all our feet move.

Stick to your aim; the mongrel's hold will slip. Rut only crowbars loose the bulldog's grip. Holmes. "Put grit In Its place," Is a motto that has solved many knotty life problems, for grit In action boosts men Into the high places In spite of grind ing poverty, crippling disease, deter mined opposition all' tho obstacles that beset restless ambition. Urlt carried an Illinois tanner through all the grades of military rank to a twice filled president's chair. Grit took Mark Twain around the world, paid off his enormous debts, and gave him a happy, prosperous old age. flrlt kept William Lloyd Garrison shouting against slavery in the face of a life threatening mob, until a nation wiped out black bondage. Orlt backs all reforms, all long-continued nbuses of every kind, Tlio story of achievement, progress, civili zation. Is made up largely of grit in its different forms and manifesta tions. The goddess of fame or of for tune has been won by many a poor man who had no friends, no backing, nor anything but grit and Invlncibl purpose to command him. Thousands of men havo put grit In the place o health or wealth, of eyes or ears, o hands or legs, oven ability, and havo won out. the world novor realizing the substitution. The handicapped people who did not use grit have slipped ami slunk into their proper places as street beggars, asylum Inmates, pen sloners on others' bounty, the "poor and nnl'ortunnto" that wo havo always with us. Grit could transform these from drags and trnllers Into dynamic units, helping to pull tho world's load Grit is a permanent, solid quantity that enters Into the very structure of a man, Into the very tissues of his con stitutlon. It is that element of char acter that enables him to clutch his aim with an Iron grip, and keop tho needle of his purpose pointing to tho star of his hope. Through sunshine and through storm, through hurricane and through tempest, with a leaky ship, with a crew In mutiny, it perse veres; In fact, nothing but deatli can subdue it, and It dies still struggling, sites of largo capacity exist on their drainage lines; and third, that it Is posslblo to divert waters from these resorvolr Bites by a gravity conal lino along the south face of tho coaBt rt.ngo to tho fertile tool-hill lands lving between Santa Monica and Hol lywood, In tho suburbs of the city of Los Angeles, nnd oven to supply by a gravity a considerable portion of the city of I.os Angeles with do mestic water. WATER SUPPLY. The topographic mnp of the Cala- l.as quadrangle, which extends fiom Santa Monica, l.os Angeles county, C'al., west along the coast 15 miles and as far north as Chatsworth, and which was surveyed during the xrii son of 1900-1901 by Mr. U. I). Mar shall and Mr. V. S. Post, has recent y been Issued by tne united states eologlcal survey. The work done in Ibis quadrangle completes the detail ed survey of the drainage basin ot the Los Angeles river, from which lie present domestic water supply of the City of Los Angeles Is derived The importance of the survey was ingested to the geological suivey by .etltlons fiom the beard of county Kttpei visors and the officials or the Ity of I.oj Angeles. As a result of the survoy, several' lucts of marked economic Imparlance are shown. A number of streams. including the Mallbu and the Topan ga, uraln ;l;o precipitous face or tne coast range and empty into the pa cific ocean. The coast In this vlolnl ty is abrupt and inhospitable, and the water supply tiom these drainage basins Is not utilized, hut Is lost in the sen. These sti earns are among the very few In Southern California that aro not used to any material ex tent in connection with Irrigation de- elopmcnt. Tho topographic survo dovelops three important facts con cerning these streams: First, that their drainage areas are ot material dimensions; second, that reservoir In this direction. They have drawn government supplies at cost to the government and sold them at a large advance in price. Owing to the sale of government supplies to outsiders the government has been compelled to pay freight on a much larger amount of supplies than wore really he laughs at law and endows a .theo logical seminary as a bit of humor. The property wo aro robbed of by tho, extortion of the coal trust Is quite as sacred as the coal It puts upon, tho cars. Anarchy Is being taught by the lawless combine, and retribution .can not bo turned away with a smile. Tho peopio are In an ugly mood.-Rov. Charles Crause, Stirtlif am Siagl&f . At the start iu a long race, the advant age often appears to be with an outsider. But the race is won not in starting but In staying. The quality which wius is staying power. It is so iu the race of life. Staying power wins, and as a rule the lest stayer is the man with the best stomach. All physical strength is derived from food which is' properly digested and assimilated. When the food eaten is outy part ly digested and assimilated there is a loss of nutri tion which means a loss of strength and the general ref'lt is physical r-rfniwiown. Dr. Pierce's jO'-dn Medical Discovery gives strength and staying powe-, be cause it cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutri tion. It enables the perfect digestion and assimilation of the food eaten, nnd so strengthens the body naturally by the nutrition derived from food. "I wal troubled with Indlftettlou fur about two years." writes Wm. Bowker, Esq., of Julia, etta, Latah Co., Idaho. "I tried different dot tors and remedies but to no avail, until I wrote to yon and you told me what to do. I suffered with a pain iu my stomach and left aide aud thought that it would kill me. Now I um glad to write tlii and let you know that I am all right. I can do my work now without pain aud I don't have that tired feeling that I uaeit tu have. Five bottles of lr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery and two vials of hi l'leuaant relicts' cured me." Accept no substitute for Golden Med ical Discovery, There is nothing "just 03 good" for diseases of 'the stomach, blood and lungs. Dr. Pierce's Pellets are easy and pleas ant to take. A most effective laxative. MAXIMS OF SUCCESS. I can't hand out any ready-marie success to you. It would do you no good and It would do tho house harm. Thero Is plenty of room at the top here, but thero is no elovator In the ln.lldlng. I've always made It a rule to buy brains, and I've learned now that the better trained they aro tho faster they find reasons for getting their salaries raised. The fellow who hasn't had the training may bn Just as smart, but he's apt to paw the air when he's reaching for Ideas. He calls himself n specialist, which means Hint It costB me ten dollars every time he has a look at my tongue, against two that I would pay the family doctor lor gratifying his curiosity. Marriages may bo made In heaven, but most ougngenientH are mnde In the bnck parlor with the gas so low that a fellow doesn't renlly get a 'square look at what he's taking. Add 50 per cent to your estimate or your neighbor for virtues that you can't see and deduct 50 per cent from yoursoir for faults that you've missed In your Inventory and you'll have a pretty accurate result. Trading on margin Is a good deal like paddling nrouud tho edge of the old swimming holo; It seems safe and easy at first, hut before a fellow knows it ho has stepped off the cdfce into deep water. The wheat pit Is only 30 feet across, but it readies clear down to hell. Tho Post.

The Kansas City Journal predicts higher beef. The Jnurnnl says: Re ceipts of cattlo iu tlio live principal' markets are getting down close to what they were last year, when prices wore $1 per 100 pounds higher than now. The buyers from the Pacific coast and the mountains are coming farther East for beef cattle than ever before. Thoy linvo already taken or contracted for all the alfalfa-fed cat tle in Arizona, New .Mexico, Colorado and Utah. Also, they aro now buying largely of cottonseed meal-fed cattle iu Texas, many of which Heretofore found a market in Kansas City . Again, the number of large S and 1-year-old steers, such as were held back In 1!)01 nnd fattened on grass last year, are not iu the country to come In competition this spring and summer with cattle now hold near the markets. The advance In price of coin, coupled with the prices of tat cattle being up, will deter many farm ors from preparing cattle for market. The winter lias been unusually hard ' on Western range cattle, and but few I will got In good beef condition until late In the season; therefore we be lieve that those who will havo beef cattle for the spring anil summer market will realize very satisfactory prices we think l0 cents or more per 100 pounds higher than tho same qual ity or cattlo brought In January and up to ths time.
