Suffered Tremendous Itching Over

Soreness and Excruciating Pains
A Western Lady's
WONDERFUL CURE BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"Last year at this time I suffered
with a tremendous itching on my
back, which grew worse and worse, un
til it spread over the whole body, and
only my face and hands were free.
For four months or so I suffered the
torments of the damned, and I had to
scratch, scratch, scratch, until I bled.
At night when I went to bed things
got worse, and I had at times to get
up and scratch my body all over, until
1 was as sore as could be, and until I
suffered excruciating pains. I did not
know what it was, and resorted to a
number of blood purifiers, using at
times also Cuticura Soap. They told
me then that I was suffering from
eczema. Then I made up my mind
that 1 would also use Cuticura Oint
ment and Cuticura Resolvent. I used
them according to instructions, and very
soon indeed 1 was greatly relieved. I
continued until well, and now I am
ready to recommend theCuticura Rem
edies to any one who suffers as did your
obedient servant. Mrs. Mary Metzger,
Sweetwater, Okla., June 28, 1905."

Humors, Eczemas, and Itchings
Cured by Cuticura
The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as in eczema: the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of scalp, as in scalled
head all demand a remedy of almost
superhuman virtues to successfully
cope with them. That Cuticura Soap,
Ointment, and Pills are such stands
proven beyond all doubt.

Fruit Damaged.
Since the fruit growers of this sec
tion have had an opportunity to fully
Investigate the extent of the damage
done to the fruit by the late heavy
frosts. It is found that it was far more
severe than it was at first supposed.
In both the Freewater and Milton dis
tricts all apricots are killed, nearly all
the peaches, pears, and even the ap
plet are lost, especially where there Is
no shelter. In some sheltered places
some fruits were saved. S. A. Miller,
the nurseryman at Milton, reports that
a very small percentage of fruits will
be raised of the early varieties. The
later varieties and berries are un
harmed. Doctors Are Puzzled.
The remarkable recovery of Ken
neth Mclver, of Vanceboro. Me., is the
subject of much Interest to the medi
cal rratern'ty and a wide circle of
mends. He says of his case: "Owing

Losw to Cattlemen.
Fears are expressed that tho re
cent cold weather will mean some loss
to the cattlemen of the county. Range
came at this season of the year are
usually In poor condition and In some
sections no feed can be secured, so
that it Is iulteprobable that a num
ber' of cattle will be unable to sur
vive the present cold spell. It Is
stated that George Malcolm of Hun
sen's ferry, and E. L. Routh of C!o
verland, have already sustained some
loss and that other cattlemen will
also be losers to a considerable ox.

OREGON'S OUTPUT
GOLD PRODUCTION FOR
PAST YEAR $1,412,180,
Baker County Leads With $790,828 for
the Past Y'ear Baker County Also
Produced 1800 Pounds of Copper
About 300 Producing Mines In the
Baker Mining District.
According to the United States gee
logical report for the year 1904, which
has Just been Issued, Baker county
alone produced nearly two-thirds of
the total gold output of the state of
Oregon, and this is not Including what
Is known as the Baker district, says
the Baker City Herald. The vulue of
the gold produced In Baker county
in L04 Is $T90,82S and the total out
put for Oregon Is $1,412,186.
The output of gold by counties In
the two mining districts is given as
follows:
For eastern Oregon
Baker $790,828
Crook

82,280
23,063

For southern Oregon

Curry
Douglas ,
8.S18
Jackson 108.553
Josephine and Lane 373,670
Lincoln 640
This report also shows that In the
year 1004 Baker county produced only
isuu pounds of copper while Josephine
and Lane counties produced 263,000
pounds. But Grant county produced
4710 pounds of copper during this
year. It will be Interesting to watch
Baker county climb to the top ranks
in the copper production of Oregon
with the copper belt opened up and
developed as it Is now. It is con
fidently expected that the report for
tne year 1906 will show Baker county
iur in tne lead.
But Baker county for 1904 produced
more lead than all the other counties
of the state combined.
It will also be Interesting to note
the report for 1905 on the number of
mines operating and producing In the
Baker district. For 1904 there were 84
ore producing deep mines and 211
placer mines and 520 reporting but
non-producing mines. A majority of
these mines will be producing In 1905
and 1906 reports and will swell the
totals sufficiently. It Is hoped, to give
Oregon a high rank In the gold pro
ducing western states.

ARE YOU TIRED OF PAYING
"BLUNDER TAXES"
9
D
Many a business man pays as much money for the luxury of blunder
ing as a steam yacht, or a private touring car would cost.
"Blunder Taxes" cannot be evaded whatever else waits, these must be
paid. If a business man gets Into the habit of making the same blunders
more than once, the taxes will soon amount to confiscation
"Blunder Taxes" are levied with amazing frequency upon store adver
tisers. Among the blunders which are assessed at "full value" In adver
tising are these:
Selection of poor mediums.
Using too little space in good mediums.
Devoting less attention to preparing t'.e daily store advertisement than
to the nor.ng of some empty boxes In the basement.
Stopping the ad altogether for one or more days now and then.
Figuring the advertising appropriation on the basis of what you can
"afford" after all other expenses are provided for.
The use of "programs." schemes, circulars, posters, fence-signs, pla
cards and Jim-cracks, under the impression that you re securing real pub
licity, and that somewhere, somehow, sometime someone will be Influenced
by some of these thing? to come to your store and buy something.
YOUR "BLUNTER TAX" BILL GROWS SMALLER AND SMALLER
AS YOUR USE OF NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY GROWS BIGGER AND
BIGGER.
CONTINUOUS PUBLICITY IN THE

Revival of IroJect.
A number of filings for land on the
John Day In township 9. range 25,
Wheeler county, have recently been
rejected at The Dalles land office on
account of a temporary reserve. It
has been learned that the withdrawal
was made in the interest of the Uma

it win be remembered that the
feasibility of taking water out of the
John Day for the purpose of Irrigat
ing large tracts In Umatilla county
was tamed of two years ago, and
corps of government engineers visited
Spray and took the altitude at various
points along the river. The project
did not attract much attention at the
time, as those familiar with the con
tour of the territory sold It was an
Impossibility. However. It appears
that the reserve has been made for
this purpose. Spray Courier.
Wild Ilorsot Dying In Modoc
Ullly Lunsford came In from the

Billy says that the snow Is so badly

One would think the Laxative Idea
In a cough syrup should have been
advanced long before It was. It seems
the only rational remedy for Coughs
and colds would be to move the bow

time. Kennedy's Laxative Honey and
