Vafl Tidal Wave Svcit Down Forests and Crratcd New Islands in the Sound ih1 Bays Uplift of the Shore All Along Base of the Moun tain is From Six to Nine 1-Vrt. Vigorous earthquake shocks visited the vicinity of Mount St. Elios. in Alaska, in September. 1S99. Shortly afterward it was observed that the broad inlet into which the famous Muir glacier discharges was filled with floating Ice, which had probably been liberated from the front of tint gla cier. Prospectors who were looking for evidences of sold In the neighborhood of Yakutat bay. a little to the west ward of the Muir glacier, but between the latter and Mt. St. Ellas, noticed shocks at the place where they were at the time. It was thought desira ble by the United States geological survey to investigate the matter, but the work was not undertaken until last year, probably because the bureau had not the money necessary. This being supplied by the Ameri can Geographical society, the inquiry was conducted by Professor Ralph S. Tarr, of Cornell university, and Lawr ence Martin. In a recent Issue of "Science" they summarize the results. Evidence of a profound disturbance was found. That enormous waves had been created was proven by the destruction of forests along the shores. By the lifting of the shores and by the formation of new islets It was made manifest that there had been an appreciable, and probably sudden, rise in the level of a con siderable region. A good deal of the front on Yakutat bay has been lifted far above the reach of any waves there now. Beside the broader and outermost part of the bay the "fore land" is low, but as one goes further up toward Its head, the passage nar rows like a Norwegian fjord, and its walls are loftier and more abrupt Back of the lowland fringe rises a range of mountains, really foothills of the St Ellas chain, reaching ele vations of from 4000 to 6000 feet. The seaward face of this range rises abruptly out of the low foreland with a steep and remarkably straight front. Into this range Yakutat bay pene trates rapidly narrowing to the form of a fjord, whose lower end Is named Disenchantment bay. At the head of this bay the fjord, thence called Russell fjord, abruptly turns back toward the ocean, and ex tends out beyond the steep mountain front, ending In a bay like expansion In the fringing lowland. Three large tidal glaciers Hubbard, Turner and Nunatak fed among the lofty moun tains of the St Ellas chain enter the fjord. The mountainous shores of the fjord have been differentially de formed, some parts showing no change In level, while one shore, that south of Turner glacier, has suffered an elevation of from 33 to 47 feet, Accompanying this change there has evidently been faulting along some of the arms of the fjord. By "faulting the geologist means the formation of crevices, approximately vertical, and showing differences of level on oppo site sides. The crevlses were found to be near ly parallel with the St. Ellas range, and, in instances, one side would be three feet higher than the other. The uplift is confined to that part of the region which lies along and Inside of the steep, straight mountain front while on the low fringe of foreland and In the Malasplna glacier region (to the west of the bay) there is, for the most part, no evidence of any change of level excepting at the very mountain base. Locally, however, and especially near the mountain, there is depresslo along the shores of the lowland, reaching a maximum of from three to five feet Professor Russell, a high authority on earthquakes and volca noes, long ago assigned to this moun tain front a fault origin on the basi of the form, and recent observation !The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths. There is a disease prevailing in this boantry most dangerous because so decep- " 'lit II HI IrVt ivo Mnvi,,,M.n i deaths are caused ! by it heart dis ' ease, pneumonia, ! heart failure ot apoplexy are often the result of kid ney disease. If kidney trouble is thekidney-poison- ed blood will at tack the vital organs, causing catarrh ol the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel ing badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the jfreat kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and Scalding pain in passing it, and over comes that unpleasant necessity of being Compelled to go often through the day, end to get tip many times during the bight. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is old by all druggists in fifty-cent and oae-dollar size bottles.

When writing mention reading this generous offer in this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name,Swamp iKoot, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle. TH M1 confirm this interpretation. More over, there la clear evidence of a still earlier, though modern, movement along this major fault line. The observations of Professor Tarr and his associates, which later will be published in full, indicate that the earthquake was the result of a great upward movement along the front of the St. Ellas chain, with minor dif ferential movements of large and mall kind, together complexly frac- uring the crust along and near the shores of the fjord. Along the ex- reme front of the mountains the up- ft was from six to nine feet; but fur ther back It locally reached a much greater figure.

Anna Norton, an eccentric old wo man, who died In Portland last Tuesday,, has left the bulk of her es tate to the Catholic church. This Is hown by the will, filed for probate in the county court of Multnomah county last Friday by Attorney John P. Logan. Mrs. Norton left most of her prop erty to eastern Oregon churches, fav oring the church at Condon, because of her friendship for Rev. Father M, Kelly, of that town. The beneficiaries named in the will follow: St. Joseph's church, Condon 4000; Rev. Father M. J. Kelly, $1500; Dominican Fathers of Portland, at Clackamas street and Union avenue, 2000; Lizzie McMahon, of Portland, 200; Bishop Charles J. O'Reilly, of Baker City, $2000; John F. Logan, of Portland, $200; St. Mary's Cathedra) of Portland. $500. All property not disposed of by the will Is given to Bishop O'Reilly and Father Kelly for the purpose of founding a Catholic hospital at Condon. There are no known relatives of Mrs. Morton, but she provides that $5 be given to each discovered. Mrs. Morton left $17,000 in mort gages. She was the wife of Daniel Morton, a Portland policeman for years, and was one of the city's old est residents. HOOD RIVER RAILROAD. Eighteen Miles to Be Constructed, to Be Opened May 1. The Oregon Daily Journal says of the new railroad being built from Hood River: Hood River is getting a steam rail- ! road and Is promoting an electric road that Is expected to ramify every part of the valley and give orchardlsts fa cilities for transportation between their own doors and the town of Hood River. The electric road movement Is headed by W. H. Moore, president of the Oregon Savings bank of Port land. The steam road Is being built by David C. and William Eccles of Salt Lake City. David C. Eccles is several times a millionaire and owns a num ber of banks and beet sugar factories. He is principal owner of the Sumpter Valley railway, which is ex tending each year further into cen tral Oregon. He picked the Hood River valley from a number of prom ising railroad projects and is building a first-class standard gauge railroad which will ultimately extend to Mt Hood. The grade is now, practically com pleted 18 miles Into the Interior and the road will be finished and in oper atlon by May 1 this year. The right of way has cost many thousands of dolars, as It passes over lands that were held at high prices as orchard lands. A Modern Miracle. "Truly miraculous seemed the re covery of Mrs. Mollle Holt of this place," writes J. O. R. Hooper, Wood ford, Tenn., "she was so wasted by coughing up puss from her lungs. Doctors declared her end so near that her family had watched by her bed side 48 hours; when, at my urgent re quest Dr. King's New Discovery was given her, with the astonishing re suit that Improvement began, and continued until she finally completely recovered, and is a healthy woman today."

City Drives Out Disreputable People and Chocks Vices. The following special from the Or egon Daily Journal's Salem corres pondent shows the status of the moral campaign In Oregon's capital city: After being out four hours the Jury last night brought In a verdict of guilty against Fannie Davenport, Ag nes Smith, Lela Johnson and LUlle Thompson, three of the women who were recently arrested for conducting disorderly houses within the city. The trial commenced yesterday morning at 9 o'clock in the recorder's court, and was not concluded until 4:30 In the afternoon. The case was stub bornly fought by the attorneys for the defense. The Jury consisted of Ohaa. Max O. Buren, Chas. Zaenker, Chas. Roth, J. M. Lawrence and D. D. Olm stead. Five other women were placed on trial for the same offense this morn ing at 9:30 o'clock and If a conviction Is had in their cases also, It will prac tically mean that houses of this char acter are to be banished from the city of Salem, as the ordinance against them is very plain and Chief of Police Cornelius says that so long as the ordinance Is on the book It will be en forced to the letter. Three colored women who were given a chance to leave the city after pleading guilty to the same charge, but refused and were remanded to Jail, now state that they will leave town as soon as they get a chance.

S BIDS FOR CONSTRUCTION SUBMITTED TO BUREAU, Previous EMimaUw Had Been Re jected and the Specifications Been Modified Thcrcnftcr The Philip pine Government Reserves Right to Fix Maximum Cost Whenever a J toad is to Bo Built Mile by Mile Practlmlly the Some Bidders Have Entered the Competition as Before. Washington, D. C, Jan. 20. The new bids for concessionary contracts or grants for the construction of rail roads In the Philippine Islands, which had been submitted to Secretary Taft, after the bids submitted In answer to the previous call for proposals had been rejected, were opened this morn ing at 10 o'clock and submitted to the bureau of insular affairs, for compu tation. The former bids had been re jected because of the departures from the terms of the circular calling for proposals. Secretary Taft, after a number of conferences with Governor "Wright and Mr. Forbes of the Philippine com mission and Colonel Edwards, chief of the insular bureau, rejected all proposals and readvertlsed for bids. The terms of the proposals were somewhat modified. It was decided that, where bidders propose to construct the road with out guarantee they will be limited in their bids only by the terms of the Philippine government railroad acts of 1902 and 1903. But, where bidders wish to take advantage of a guaran tee of certain Interest on their invest ment they can vary from the original invitations to bid only In point on time or In the cost of construction per mile, as affected by contractors profits. As to the latter the Philip pine government reserves the right to fix the maximum cost of the road. The time in which the road can be completed and the contractors' prof- Its will be important considerations in making the awards. It Is under stood that the bidders who have sent In proposals this time are practically the same as those who sent In bids on the previous occasion. SAVING STRENGTH OF SOIL. Kansas Professor Says "Rainfall Does Not Follow the Plow." The thirty-fourth annual meeting of the Kansas state board of agrlcul ture In Topeka last week was one of the most profitable and Interesting ever held, says the Kansas City Star. Dr. John S. Sage, in charge of the United States climate and crop serv' ice at Des Moines, combatted the popular theory that "rainfall follows the plow." Dr. Sage also denied the assumption that- the climate changes from year to year, asserting that the average climate for the year remain ed unchanged. A portion of Dr. Sage's address follows: It seems too bad to spoil a pleas. ant Illusion or break up a land trade, but we ought to tell the truth. In matter of fact, the theory that rain follows the plow will not hold water. The plowshare of the settler may conserve rainfall, by breaking the impervious sod of the prairie, but It possesses no more potency to con dense the vapors in the air than the chemical squirt gun of the profession al rainmaker. "Climate Is a product of certain el ements and properties of the air and physical features of the earth's sur face. We have much diversity of lo cal climates In various parts of the continent because of difference of to pography, elevation and latitude. "The continental type in the Mid land valley is characterized by ex tremes In temperature with a general range of about 130 degrees, and varl able rainfall. These plains are water ed by cyclones, and fully 98 per cen of the precipitation of Kansas drawn from the gulf by the powerful suction of these storm eddies In the air. "By no possibility can these glgan tic forces be controlled by human power. And there Is no fact or phil osophy to sustain the Illusive theory relative to the climatic changes due to the work of man." H. A. Huston discussed the use an abuse of soils. He dealt elaborately with an explanation of the more nec essary principles of farm chemistry, making It plain that the growing of grain entails a drain of the soil ele ments essential to plant growth. Mr. Huston forcibly drove the point home to his listeners that soil renewal Is necessary to continual and successful growth of grain. WILL RETURN THIS EVENING. La Grando Basket-Ball Team Was Entertained. The members of the La Grande basket-ball team have remained here today and will leave for home this evening.

Circular Showing Growth Issued by the Society. The following circular has Just been issued by the publication com mittee of the Christian Scientists of the Northwest, showing something of the growth and working of the organ ization: In the Pacific northwest the first systematically organized work of the Church of Christ, Scientist, began a little more than 12 years ago, at which time the only regular services held in this section were at Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and Spokane, where In each locality but a handful of earnest peo ple met to worship God in the light of this new-old healing gospel of Christian Science. In the 12 years that have Inter vened these simple gatherings have grown, and their Influence has spread until today In the three states of Ore gon, Washington and Idaho, there are some 40 organized churches and societies as well as many smaller gatherings at which regular services are held. Eighteen of these organiza tions maintain free public reading rooms in the business sections of their respective cities. In fact in every city and almost every town of the Pacific northwest, Including those of British Columbia, there are to be found those established In the cause of Christian Science, by reason of the spiritual, moral and physical benefits received through Its ministry. It Is conservatively estimated that the present attendance at the 36 reg ular services aggregates no less than 3000 people, and each regular congre gation of the churches In Portland, Seattle and Spokane will number from 300 to 500, both at the Sunday and mid-week meetings. In Pendleton Christian Science services have been held with more or less regularity during the past two or three years, and in October of the past year a regular organization was effected, with some 10 charter mem bers. At the beginning of the pres ent year this organization acquired permanent quarters In the East Ore gonlan building, and here holds Its meetings and also maintains a public reading room. Since taking this step, the attend ance and Interest has increased, and while the organization is at present classified as a society, there is every Indication that before long Its growth will warrant the obtaining of a church charter, and that It will become a regularly organized Church of Christ, Scientist. The unusual growth and Increasing Interest in Christian Science is some times cause for inquiry, but this seems reasonably accounted for by the fact that no less than 75 of every 100 of Its present adherents have first sought the ministration of Chris tian Science by reason of sore physi cal or mental distress, rather than faith in Its doctrine, and this seeking having been rewarded by the attain ment of better health and Increased peace and good-will, the recipient naturally associates himself with that which has been the means through which this betterment has come, and In turn desires to share this glad gos pel with his fellow men. It Is truly affirmed by the founder of Christianity that "a tree is known by Its fruit," and at each mid-week service of every Christian Science church grateful personal testimony is given of the continuous operation to day of the healing and saving power of that Infinitely loving divine mind. The services of the Christian Sci ence church are unique by reason of the Impersonal nature of its sermon, and of the presentation thereof. The denomination has no personal pastors and the Sunday sermons and mid week admonitions are composed of se lected passages of scripture, together wtlh correlative references from the Christian Science text book. SALVATION ARMY HISTORY. Commander William Booth is Great cut Living Preacher. The following brief review and comment on the work of the Salva tion Army is from the Seattle Star: Public sneers and ridicule, then contemptuous tolerance.n the timor ous patronage, and at latt enthusiastic commendation from the greatest re ligious leaders and political rulers of the world have marked the recognl- DR. KING'S RSGOHHENDED, GUARANTEED AMD SOLD BY tlon of the work of General William Booth, the greatest practical philan thropist of this age. He who attempts to lift the fallen has more than the weight of the fallen themselves to contend with the far more cruel resistance of established custom and prejudice. But It Is a fixed law of God that every effort for the uplifting of huamnlty shall, In spite of all opposition, have good re sults somewhere, some time, whether we understand or not. The two and a half million converts and the 8000 branches of the Salva tion Army In 47 countries are a tre mendous accomplishment for a single lifetime. But It is not all. At the age of 76. and after 60 years of labor at the head of the Salvation Army and the Christian mission, out of which it grew. General Booth has crowned world-wide philanthropy with the greatest of all practical philanthro pies, in the movement to establish the poor of the' cities on the vacant lands of the earth, where they may find food, purpose, health, hope and become Independent and good cltl sens. The doctrine of the "landless man to the manless land" was not an In spiration. It .was the result of long study and Investigation of conditions. Mr. Booth was a Methodist minister in his early years, and It did not take him long to discover that there Is a great class of people that the regular churches cannot reach.. He took re ligion Into the streets and slums. But he observed, too, that religion alone cannot cure poverty and mis fortune and ignorance, which form great social cesspools in ail large cities and cause most of the woes of humanity. The treatment of these diseases In a practical way ls the crowning purpose of his life, and his method wherever tried has proved successful. What ultimate, complete success may mean for the happiness of the world Is more than the Imagination of man can grasp. Here Is the Christianity that does things. Here is the greatest practic ing Christian of our times. FRIZES FOR STUDENTS. Woman's Suffrage Association Offer $20 Prize for High Sclwol Pupils.

WOMEN'S IIEGLECT SUFFERINSTHESUREPENALTY Health Thus Lost Is Restored by Lydia B. Pink-ham's Vegetable Compound. How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? We hear everyday the same story over and over again. " I do not feel well ; I am so tired all the time 1 " More than likely yon speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from well. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the fe male organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, bearing-down pains, flatulency, nerv ousness, sleeplessness, or other fe male weakness. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded a life of Buffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The never-failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkhams Veg etable Compound. Miss Kate McDonald of Woodbridge, N. J. , writes: , Dear Mrs. Pinkham: " Restored health has meant so much to me that I cannot help from telling about It for the sake of other Buffering women. " For a long time I suffered untold agony wfth a female trouble and irregularities, which made me a physical wreck, and no one thought I would recover, but Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me, and made me well and strong, and I feel it my duty to M other suffering women what a splendid medicine it is." 1 For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E.
