Owgon nml rnllfornla al All Suitable for Timber Will He Tried Out Under Mcclumlcnl and Clicmlcal TchIm, Washington, Jan. 3l. A series nf tents that la of great Importance to th? lumber Interests of the const. Is now being conducted under the direc tion of the forest service by the state universities of California, Oregon and Washington. The experiments are be ing made to determine the exnet value of the structural timbers of the coast, sad ore being conducted simultaneous ly at Berkeley, Eugene and Seattle. The tests cover all grades of lum ber from clear, straight-grained sticks to Inferior pieces containing such knots and other defects as are found In common and second-grade timbers. By this means It Is possible to establish both the liability of the timbers to contain season checks, knots, wlndshakea and other similar defects, and the precise effect which these will have on the strength of the ilmhers. The knowledge thus obtain ed enables the engineer or architect to design structures with safety and economy. Red fir, whose merits hove long been recognized In the west, stands without question first In Importance among the structural timbers of the coast. Lightness, strength and dura bility are Its distinctive valuable qualities, and the fact that It can be obtained readily In sticks of excep tional size without defects greatly en larges Its utility. In recent years Its Introduction to the eastern markets has made rapid strides. The results of the tests confirm conclusively the exceptional merits of this limber. Western hemlock has not readllv been received In the morkct. Chief among the obstacle with which It has had to rope Is the similarity of Its name to that of the eastern hem lock, whose poorer qualities It has un justly been held to share. Though large quantities of the timber are cut and sold, they are marketed under MmilMMIOItlMIIMIIHIMItlllllMM t 5 The RAZOR, that gives Satisfaction The Hoe Razor Has No Equal at Any Price KNOWN 0 UALIT There are two classes ot remedies: those of known qua. ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assist ance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempct rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remediesof known quality andexcellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti pation and the many illsresultingtherefrom. Its active princi ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with f their own personal knowledge inatitisamostexceiient laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy ot known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. t There are two classes of purchasers: those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasonsfor the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations or tne Genuine Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printedon the front of every package. Price, 50c fictitious names, such as Washington pine, Alaska pine, and gray fir, for under Its own name, the western hem lock has even now no market standing. Yet the results of tests already show that, though It Is not so strong or serviceable as red fir or long leaf pine, Its structural value compares favorably with that of loblolly or Vir ginia pine, and that It therefore de serves to be marketed on Its merits.

Looking about for box car thieves, at 12:45 o'clock, they entered the men's waiting room nt the depot, where they found four men. one seem ingly keeping aloof from. the others. Detective Fitzgerald began an exam ination of the bundles of the three, at the same time keeping an eye on the fourth, whom he recognized as having been with a suspicious looking gang e.t Trontdnle the day previous. Soon he started to sneak out of the south door when Fitzgerald said to Wood. "There's a man you want!" and Wood was after him In a moment, chasing him to the barn of J. H. Worsley ncro.ss the street. Repeatedly the of ficer told him to halt, but he kept on until he reached the barn, when he braced himself against the building. "Hold up your hands, or I'll shoot," said Wood, and up they went. When the officers got him to the city Jail they found secreted about his person a whole kit of safe-cracker's tools, and what is worse, a 45 Colt's revol ver hanging from a belt filled with ammunition. There were among other things enough nltro-glycerine to blow the town up, black powder, fuse. 6o-pound pressure caps, drills, wedge, tiVs, etc., a vicious looking lot of In struments as we examined them this morning.

When a physician tells a woman, suf fering from female trouble, that an operation is necessary it, of course, frightens her. The very thought of- the operating table and the knife strikes terror to ber heart. As one woman expressed it, when told by her physician that she must undergo an operation, she felt that her death knell had sounded. Our hospitals are full of women who are there for just such operations! It is quite true that these troubles may reach a stage where an operation is the only resource, but such cases are much rarer than is generally supposed, because a great many women have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after the doctors had said an operation must be per formed. In fact, up to the point where the knife must be used to secure instant relief, this medicine is certain to help. The strongest and most grateful statements possible to make come from women who, by taking Lydia E, Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, have escaped serious operations. MargriU Byan, Treasurer of St. Andrew's Society, Indianapolis, Ind., writes of her cure aa follows: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: " I cannot And words to express my thanks for the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did me. The doctor said I could not get well unless I had an operation for the trouble from which I suffered. I knew I could not stand the strain of an operation and made up my mind I would be an invalid for life. Hearing how Lydia E.

Owing to the good demand for po tatoes In the 'markets of the Sound the shipments from this ploce during the past week have been large, says the Yuklma Dally Republic. In con sequence the price has dropped a lit tle. The commission men have been paying $18 for good potatoes, but to day they say they would not pay over $14, The drop came about by reason of the heavy shipments to the Sound last week. One shipper of produce said this morning: "I look for the bottom to fall out of the business this week If the ship ments continue as they have been In the past few days. The head of our firm in Seattle sent me word Satur day that he had 12 cars of spuds on hand nnd not to send any more till the market eased a little. The mar kets have been cleaned of the pro ducts of the western part of the state and now the calls for Yakima spuds have been numerous. "There are 2000 tons of spuds stored in the warehouses In this city and other parts of the valley. There are thousands of tons stored away by the farmers on their farms. With If you are naturally sisters, and for this reason experience dread rather than joy at the prospect of becoming a mother, take courage and assurance from this fact : Mother's Krieml is meant for you, and by its use you may pass through that elorious martvrdom which is yours by divine right with no more discomfort than that' experienced by those who by nature are possibly more adapted for the role of motherhood.

Vegetable Compound bad saved other wonw from serious operations I decided to try It, and in less than four months I was entirely cured; and words fail to express my thankfulness." Miss Marsrret Merlriev. of 275 S4 Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Loss of strength, extreme nervousness, severe shooting pains through the pelvis organs, cramps, bearing-down pains, and aa irritable disposition compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after making an examination, said that I had a nrioua female trouble and ulceration, and advised aa operation as my only hope. To this I strongly objected and I decided as a last resort to try Lydia is. nnimam's vegetame uompoona. "To my surprise the ulceration healed, all the bad symptoms disappeared, and I amonos more strong, vigorous and well; and I can not express my thanks for what it has dona forme." Serious feminine troubles are steadi ly on the increase among women and before submitting to an operation every woman should try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. for advice. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been curing the worst forms of female complaints, all functional troubles, inflammation, ulceration, falling and displacement, weakness, irregularities, indigestion and nervous prostration. Any woman who could read the many grateful letters on file in Mrs. Pinkham's office would be convinced of the efficiency of her advice and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. such a supply to draw from there should be some method about sending the stock to market. When every body wants to ship and does ship the market becomes glutted. This causes a sudden drop In price and nobody gains anything. Whereas, If we could get together and ship In as the market demands we would In the end get much better returns." T:. .- - :ap Tiling.
