Highest Tuner Ever Uuill for Wire Itw Telegraphy Now Being Installed mi Mt. Tamaliiais, Near San Fran cisco Two Towers ' 800 Feet In Height Capacity Will Be 500,000 Volts. . . ' 1" The Scientific American gives the following highly entertaining account of the largest wireless telegraph sta tion In the world which la now being built on the aummit of Mt. TamalpalR, 15 miles from San Francisco: About the time this reaches our readers service will be Inaugurated between the Pacific coast and Hono lulu by means of the largest wlrelesH telegraph station ever built. The work has been done by a local com pany, which already has connected some 15 coiiBt points by wireless sys tem. This new station Is built on the top of Mt. Tamalpals, 2600 feet above the sea, and 15 miles from San Francisco. The station Includes two towers, each 300 feet high, triangular structures tapering from 20 feet at the base to 4 feet at the top. The towers are of Oregon pine and oak, resting on a cement base and rayed with steel ca bles. Six hundred ton of rock were blasted away to make the platform. The towers were first built at sea level, then taken down and shipped by rail to the summit and set up again. Three thousand pounds of copper wire are stretched between the towers. The largest Induction coll ever built is In stalled In the station. Two thousand miles of No. 30 silk Insulated copper wire, wound on a core 16 feet long, was used, the com pleted coll weighing four tons, pro ducing a spark 15 feet long and as large as a man's arm. Its capacity Is expected to be 500,000 voles. More than a ton ef specially prepared bees wax paper was used In Insulating. The statloa is expected to be able to pick up wmsels on the Pacific with in a range off 2500 miles, and as soon as similar ptatlons are completed at Honolulu. Philippine islands and the coast of China, the Pacific oceun gap will be filled. While private enter prise Is busy the government has not. been Idle. Very recently the United States gov ernment has authorized the erection of lofty wireless telegraph towers at several Important points on the Pa cific coast notably at Mare Island navy yard, at the naval training school on Goat Island, at Benecla barracks, California, and at Bremerton naval station, Washington. The new wire less system Is to be very generally used In Use future by the war depart ment Pacific coast army officers are greatly interested In the announce ment of General Greeley, chief U. S. signal officer, that, as a result of ex haustive experiments, receivers have been perfected that will enable the army to Intercept and read the mes sages sent by any system of wireless telegraphy now In use. With the re ceivers In question the United States signal corps claims to have placed its code of secret lnter-communlcatlon ahead of that of the naval system. The Invention Is absolutely secret, and Is to remain so. At the present time the United States navy uses three systems of wireless telegraphy, viz.: the Fessen den, the Arco-Slaby and the De For rest. With the new Invention of the army signal corps, the messages sent by any of the warships can be Inter cepted and used. It ts understood that RHEUMATISM CAN NOT BE RUBBED AWAY When the joints are sore and swollen, and the muscles throbbing with th pain of Rheumatism, relief must be had at once, and it is natural to rub the affected parts with liniments, oils, etc. This treatment does good in a way, by temporarily relieving the pain and reducing the inflammation, but has no effect on the disease itself, because Rheumatism is more than sltm deep ; it is in the blood and cannot be rubbed away. Rheumatism is brought on by indigestion, weak kidneys, poor bowel action, stomach troubles and a gen eral sluggish condition cf the system. The refuse and waste mattera, which Should be carried on tnrougnxne nat ural avenues of bodily waste, are left to sour and form uric acid and other irritating poisons which are ab sorbed by the blood, making it thin, weak and acrid. Then instead of nourishing the different nerves, mus cles, joints and tissues it fills them with poison to produce the aches, pains and other disagreeable symp toms of the disease. Rheumatism is usually worse in Winter for the reason that cold and dampness are exciting causes. The nerves become excited and sting with pain, the mus cles are sore and drawn, the joints swollen and stiff and the sufferer lives in intense agony ; and if the disease is not checked it often leaves its victims helpless cripples for life. Rheumatism cannot be rubbed away but it can be driven from the blood byS. S. S.

Pacific coast army officers assert that the invention places the army in a position to cause considerable trou ble to any foreign government In the event of a clash, and the news of the Invention abroad will doubtless at tract very great Interest In military and naval circles of foreign powers. The California naval militia people are all earnestly hoping that congress will pni the bill now pending, which proposes to have a reserve force which may be called out In time of war and to place the naval militia on a sound and more practical basis. HICIT CROP THREATENED. Clear, Cold Nights a Menace to Lew Moil's Furly ISmlH. t A clear sky and quite a severe frost last night In the valley provided the only period of weather the past two weeks that has threatened injury to the fruit crop, says the Lewlston Tri bune, The frost followed a rain and this made conditions more menacing, although it Is not believed Injury has resulted to the trees. If no Injury hns resulted, It Is now very probable that the prediction of tho fruitgrowers will be realized and that the valley will turn off the largest crop In the history of the fruitgrowing Industry In this section of the northwest. Although killing frosts have oc curred as late an April In the Lewis ton valley, such a climatic condition has occurred with extreme rarity. March can safely be looked upon as Introducing the season of mild weath er with periodical rains which are fre quently very heavy. Protest Against Cuddy Reservo. E. M. Barton Is here circulating a petition asking that the Cuddy moun tain district be not set aside as a for est reserve. Mr. Barton,, who" repre sents the sheep men In this matter, Is trying to prevent action being taken by the forestry service on a petition sent from this place some time ago signed by practically all the ranchers and stockmen of this district. In which the creation of the Cuddy re serve was asked. The efforts of the sheepmen to mo nopolize the range, and the remon strance which Mr. Barton Is endeav oring to get up is not being signed with any degree of eagerness. In deed, It is the general opinion that since the people here have already petitioned the government to convert the section In question into a forest reserve, It is rather presumptlous for outsiders to come In and ask them to sign a petition asking that their original request be not heeded. Aside from a very few persons who have no Interest In this section, the adverse petition Is rather weak In point of number of signers. Council Advance. Program Thursday Evening at Music Hall. The program for Thursday evening at Music hall will be very entertain ing to say the least. There will be several selections by McMInn's or chestra, recitations by Mrs. Bleakney, reading by Dr. Miller, selections by the High School Quartet and an ad dress by Hon. Charles Whelan, of Madison, Wis. This address will be worth going miles to hear, as Senator Whelan Is said to be one of the best platform speakers in the United States. Ills sliver tongue has won him a warm place in the hearts of the people of his home statu, where he has been elected to the legislature again and again, and thrice elected mayor of Madison. No admission will be charged. Notice. I will not be responsible for any debts contracted by my son, Will Fuhrman. (Signed) A. FUHRMAN. While at work for the F. O. T. B. B.

Handled 15,000 Head of Hogs and 5000 Head of Cattle Last Your Fed to Hog, Whcut in Worth 80 Cents Per BunIh-1 No Don (Or of Glutting tlie Market Three Foiirtlis of the Bucon Sold at Letv iston Is RiinUtii Product Koine General Conditions Pertain as to Poultry. ' "The farmers of the northwest should raise more hogs. This applies to all localities and especially to this section of the empire. If the number of hogs now raised was Increased five times they still would find a good market," said Robert Jones, of the firm of Bales & Jones, to the Lewis ton Tribune. This firm handled dur ing the past year about 15,000 head of hngs and 4000 to 5000 head of cattle and are known as the leading stock men of north Idaho. The firm maintains two ranches on Camas prairie, one comprising 1120 acres and the other 480 acres, while a third farm of 500 acres is located near Denver. On these ranches the firm raises a large quantity of feed for the stock that they handle yearly. Last winter 2400 head of cattle were stall fed at their farms and during that period their outside purchases reached 1000 head. Further commenting on the hog ralslng Industry in the northwest, Mr. Jones said: "Hogs are now at a fine price, the quotation being 6 cents at the rail road. To feed wheat to hogs on this quotation makes the wheat worth 80 cents a bushel. There Is no danger of glutting the northwest market. Shipments of eastern live hogs to the Spokane market now reach $20,000 a month; to the Seattle market, 1160, 000 and to the Portland market, J40, 000, a total of $220,000 a month or $2,640,000 a year. Aside from the live hog shipments from the east, It Is a safe estimate that fully one-half of the bacon consumed In the north west comes from the east. Right here in Lewlston, which is surround ed by an Ideal hog country, fully three-quarters of the bacon consumed Is the eastern product. "Farmers In ail localities should raise more hngs. As buyers and ship pers, we advise the farmers of this seclton to do so. There Is no ques tion as to a market. We do not raise enough hogs. If we would raise more, many packing houses would be established.- It is ridiculous that we turn to the east for this product. "The same condition applies to poultry. Poultry could be handled in carloads and find a good market, but the poultry Is simply not here. Our observation. In fact, is that the farmers should not hesitate to turn to diversified farming. They should gorw a little bit of everything. This condition should especially prevail In the future in this country, because with the new transportation lines, all classes of produce can be convenient ly sent to market." TO DEVELOP POWEH. Hagerninn Springs Will Furnish Over 12,000 Horse-Power. J. E. Lane, general counsel for the Thousand Springs Land & Transpor tation company, limited, has arrived in Hagerman, accompanied by H. P. Hunter, the company's engineer, and paid n visit to the, springs for the pur pose of inspecting a few minor tech nical points, says the Hagerman cor respondent of the Shoshone Journal. In conversation with the Journal Mr. Lane said: "The company was fully organized and on a solid footing, with plenty of capital back of It. As soon as the weather and roads become fa vorable the company would begin the work of Installing a power plant at tho springs, which would be used for transmitting electrical power to points in Idaho and Nevada, and for Irri gation purposes. "The company owns 3000 acres of patented land and the townsite ol Mruneau, and have 1600 feet of three foot steel pipe, tho wheel, and the necessary machinery for the unit of a 1000 horse-power plant paid for." These springs ure six miles south of Hagerman, and burst fron4the per pendicular rock wall of Snake river at a height of 180 feet, and have a steady flow of nearly 1100 cubic feet or 55,000 miner's Inches per second. They will furnish a power equal to 12,000 horses. INTERESTING PIONEER HF.LIC. Owyhoo County Warrant Issued In 1806 Presented for Payment. An Interesting relic of the pioneer days has turned up In Owyhee county In the shape of a county warrant for $4, Issued In 1866, which hns just been presented for payment by tho county treasurer. The Silver City Nugget tells of It as follows: A county warrant payable to Geo. H. Trook, Issued September 11, 1866, signed by Ambrose Hays, then county auditor, calling for $4, was sent to the country treasurer, Mrs. Weston, this week for redemption. The court house and county records having been destroyed by fire 16 years after the warrant was Issued, there Is no rec ord of It In existence, but as It Is ap parently genuine, the treasurer has deferred Its redemption awaiting the action of the county commissioners, who will not hold a regular meeting unltl April. Mr. HayB, whose slgna ture Is affixed to the warrant, was the father of our fellow townsman, Hon Charles M. Hayes. Mr. Trook Is still living, In California and was a mem ber of the well known (at that time) mining firm of Trook & Jennings, a mining claim on War Eagle still bearing their name.

Stump, of Canton, Ohio, writes: "I wish I could Induce every mother who has a weak, sickly child to try that delicious cod liver oren- aratlon, Vlnol. Our little daughter was palt, thin and sickly. She had no appetite and no ambition. "We tried various medicines, but without any benefit whatever, and she could not take cod liver oil or emul sions, as they nauseated her and up set her stomach. "Learning that Vlnol contains all the medicinal and strength-creating properties of cod liver oil, but with out the nauseating and system-clogging oil, we decided to try it, and the results were marvelous. She loved to take it and It gave her a hearty appe tite, the color returned to her cheeks and she Is stronger and In better health than she has been for years. "I cannot say enough In favor of this delicious cod liver oil preparation for weak, puny children." Mr. Brock, of Brock & McComas Co., says: "We have never sold a medicine In our store equal to Vlnol for puny children, weak old people. sickly women and children. Why Don't you try It on our guarantee?" Brock & McComas Co., druggists. ITS YOUR KIDN EYS. Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Trou blesA Pendleton Citizen Shows How to Cure Them. v Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, waek or aching back they think that It Is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think It will soon correct itself. And so It Is with all the other symptoms of kid ney disorders. That is Just where the danger lies. Tou must cure these troubles or they lead to diabetes or Brlght's disease. The best remedy to use Is Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures all Ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Pendleton people testify to permanent cures. W. Wells, residing at the "Palace," Main street, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are a most excellent remedy for the back and kidneys and I heartily recommend them to anyone In need of such a medicine. For more than a year I suffered from Irregular action of the ktdneyB combined with dull heavy aching pains across my loins and back. When I stooped I had to be very careful in straightening up if I did not want to suffer severely. When I caught the least cold It In variably settled In my back and kid neys, and aggravated the complaint. I had little faith In Doan's Kidney Pills when I went to Brock & McComas Co.'s drug store for them, but they helped me from the first and a con tinuation of their use corrected the kidney difficulty and relieved the aching In my back and loins. I have recommended this remedy to others and know of several who have used them with the most satisfactory re sults." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
