break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from derangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badlv you can make no mistake by
taking D'r. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidnev, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pair in passing it. and over
comes that unpleasam. necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cares of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold bv all drnggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When
writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, bnt remember the name, Swamp
Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the
address, Binghamton, X. Y., on every
bottle.

Phone Main I,
The East Oregonlan Is In receipt of
the following letter purporting to be
from a representative of the farmers
living along the old Barlow road
across the Cascade mountains, which
it is proposed to buy for the state for
the sum of $24,000. While the East
Oregonlan does not agree with the
promoters of the scheme to buy the
road, it gives them space to explain
their project. The letter is as follows:
Welches, Clackamas County, Ore.,
May 15th, 1906.
East Oregonlan Publishing Co.,
Pendleton, Oregon.
Dear Sir: There has been no dis
cussion In the Oregon press of the law
which is to be voted on next June,
abolishing the Barlow Toll road and
providing for its purchase by the state
and Its conversion into a free public
highway.
The farmers who live along this
road and who have to pay the tolls
were able to raise enough money to
circulate the petitions to get this law
on the ballot, but have no money left
with which to make a campaign. We
must, therefore, rely upon the news
papers of the state for a discussion of
the matter, and believe that the entire
community will sympathize with us in
our effort. We therefore write you
an explanation of the situation.
The Barlow road crosses the Cas
cade mountains Just south of Mt
Hood. There is no other road between
it and the Columbia river on the
north, and not for 100 miles to the
south. If you want to cross the Cas
cades you must travel over the Bar
low road and pay toll.
The Barlow road is a strip of land
40 feet wide and nearly 70 miles long.
The owners hold it under a grant
made 40 years ago by the federal gov
ernment. Their right to charge toll
has been upheld by the supreme court.
The farmers In Clackamas and Was
co counties who live In the country
tributary to this road, have to pay
toll on every head of sheep or cattle
they drive to Portland. They have to
pay $2.00 every time they cross the
mountains In a wagon. There Is no
other road crossing the Cascades.
Every immigrant wagon must pay
$2. Every settler driving from the
Willamette valley to settle in eastern
Oregon (and there are lots of them)
must pay J 2 on his little grist of furniture.
The owners of the Barlow road did
not initiate the law abolishing the
tolls and providing for the purchase
of the road. They did not even know
It was to be done. They agreed a
year ago with our representative to
sell the road for a certain price. We
then Initiated the law ourselves and
raised the money to circulate the pe
tltions. The owners of the road, I
understand, do not want now to Bell
the road, at the price agreed on, $24,
000, but they will be compelled to sell
If the law passes, as we hold their
agreement. If the state does not buy
the road next June, we will never
have another chance to buy the road
for twice this amount of money. Nor
could It be built over again for $100,.
000.
There is no way to get rid of this
toll road except to buy It. As the
state grows It will become an Im
mensely valuable piece of property.
In five years when this country Is
thickly settled It will be worth a for'
tune to own the only pass across the
Cascades and to have the right to
charge toll on it. And the state will
have to buy It sooner or later.
The farmers cannot buv the road
themselves. There Is no reason why
they should. The road Is a great state
highway the same as the oil Dalles
wagon road was. The legislature ap
propriated several thousand dollnis to
build The Dalles wagon road. No one
would complain if the state were to
begin to build a new highway over the
Cascades at a cost of at least $100,-
000, ,
W hope the Oregon press, which
Is .usually ready to help the common
people, will help the unfortunate far
mers out In this matter by publishing
this explanation. We have got to get
rid of this toll road. Its existence is
a hindrance to the growth of all cen
tral Oregon. The state should help us
and It will never have a better chance
nor as good a chance, as now. we
have no money with which to make a
campaign, and will have to depend
entirely on the merit of our case.
Yours respectfully,
C. W. KERN,
Chairman of Farmers' Committee.
towns appreciate thoroughly the open
handed generosity of your people of
Oregon, Not only did they sen J us
food and shelter before the flamies
that had destroyed San Francisco had
been quenched, but they sent us men
and women to minister to our sick
and wounded.
"Words cannot express the grati
tude that we feel toward our neighbor
Oregonlans. But they may rest as
sured that It is only the lack of words
that prevents us from properly ex
pressing our feelings. '
"We thank you for your efforts In
our behalf, and assure you that, should
the occasion require it (which God
forbid), we will hasten to return your
many kindnesses to us In our hour of
need.
The other Is dated May 9, and says:
"Answering yours of May S, which
owing to the rush of business going
over my desk, was sidetracked until
today.
"Oregon was among the first to re
spond to our appeal for help, and
your representative, Hon. Jefferson
Myers, and those accompanying him,
did much, very much, to alleviate the
distress the great earthquake and the
succeeding fire brought upon our peo
ple. Dr. Mackenzie and his assist
ants, Dr. Equt and those with her,
and Mr. and Mrs. McRae, Mr. Teal
and all the rest of the Oregonlans,
did much for us at a time when we
were practically helpless. And the
food and shelter that came from Ore
gon saved many of our destitute from
great distress.
"Will you kindly thank your adju
tant general for the great aid he ex
tended to us, and assure him and
your national guard that we appre
ciate more than we can tell them the
material aid and their offers of per
sonal service to us.
"Order is beginning to come out' of
chaos In San Francisco and other
stricken towns and cities, and It will
not be long, we hope, before things
settle down to a more nearly normal
basis."

Callforni Horseman Says Racing In
terests Are Destroyed.
"The San FranciBco disaster has
killed the racing game in California,
said Thomas Ronan, owner of the
Pleasantown track, who arrived In
Walla Walla this morning en route to
Dayton, where he will look fter busi
ness Interests for a few days, says the
Walla Walla Statesman. "California
horsemen are scattering to all parts
of the United States since the earth
quake. There will be very little rac
ing in California for another year at
least, and horsemen, realizing the sit
uation, are shipping their stables to
eastern and northern tracks In hopes
of recuperating their losses."
Mr Ronan says the earthquake
shock was plainly felt at Pleasantown
track, which Is located about 40
miles from San Francisco. The track
and racing stables sustained little
damage, however, and the quarters
are crowded with horses being condi
tioned for the eastern circuit. Horse
men are shipping their stables as fast
as they can secure cars. Mr. Ronan
said that the disaster will result In
hundreds of California horses being
shipped to Oregon and Washington to
race on the northwest circuit this fall,
