THE RESURRECTION The Southern Pacific railway Is de voting: all Its energies toward a restor ation of confidence In San Francisco, and will Issue a weekly bulletin show ing the progress of rebuilding. The first bulletin Is as follows: This bulletin (to be Issued weekly) Is to correct some misconceptions, and record the progress of rebuilding and the resumption of business In the city of San Francisco, and In the cities and towns chiefly affected by the great earthquake. A great event of this kind In the business world soon becomes old: It Is of yesterday, and there Is no dispo sition to re-tell the story of disaster. Today la here and the ruins are to be wiped out by new growth. The city la to be rebuilt. It ia Idle to minim ize the damage done; It Is hurtful to exaggerate It. In this city we must discriminate between the relatively Blight Injury done by the earthquake and the ruin wrought by the fire which followed. , Reports of enormous damage to property and great loss of life: of all California being Involved In the cal amity and many cities and towns al most ntterly destroyed: of hundreds of bodies carried out to sea and thrown overboard: of the ruin of the ferry building and the new post office and the toppling of the Cliff Honse Into the ocean; all this and more of like absolutely false reports is Injurious to the state. Enrthqnafce Only One Per Cent Photographs are being widely dis tributed for gain, showing the fire- charred ruins and labeled "Views after the earthquake." But structural engineers In council assert that, leav ing out the city hall and the Hall of Justice, the damage to San Francis co by the shock did not exceed 1 per cent of the total loss. Photographs of the western addi tion, of this city, which was untouched by flr, would show how little damage was actually done by the earthquake. On made ground and elsewhere In the case of weak foundations or faulty construction the Injury was marked. The reports of great loss of life hare not been borne out by facta The statistics of casualties up to date shew a death list of 4t0 and a list of miss ing of less than 100 names. It may reasonably be supposed that some re mains will yet be found but the full est Investigation yet possible of the burned district and the knowledge ob tained of the situation before the fire swept over the lower part of the city shows that few buildings, and these chiefly flimsy ones, collapsed from the vibration. The tall campanile of the ferry was damaged, but the building itself !s in constant use; the postofflce was injured by an explosion of dyna mite near by. but neither shock nor fire caused the damage to the splendid structure, the foundations sinking slightly through the made ground to firm supported below. The Cliff House stands above the sea unharmed. The ruin In San Francisco was chiefly caused by fire as the result of broken water mains. The worst that can be said is that old buildings and newer ones badly constructed on the made ground toward the water front, old frame buildings on weak founda tions and brick masonry under the Often T.6 Kidneys Are Weakened bj Over-Wort Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure stood. It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern I science proves that 1 nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the blood that' is their work. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected and tow tvery organ seems to fail to do its duty. ... If you are sick or 'eel badly." begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. If yon are sick you can make no mis take by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases, and is sold on its merits by all 4mcrricin fiftv-cent drfFS nd one-dollar nieElirvW hnttlea.

San Francisco Is being rebuilt, as in the cases of Chicago, Boston, Balti more and Charleston. A new city will rise here. The area Is vastly greater, the ruin of the business and commer cial -more absolute, but the work of re construction will be more rapid, be cause the facilities for speedy and sub stantial rebuilding are greater than ever before In the history of the world. Money, men and material will make a new and greatly Improved metropo lis. And these are all available. The courage of the citizens la all that could be desired. It faces the problem coolly, and behind the cour age Is the ability of Intelligence and experience and the ability to com mand men and money. In the banking world there Is the utmost confidence. Deposits far ex ceed withdrawals. There Is little de mand for emergency orders; the local banks carry a large cash reserve In their vaults and large credits with eastern and foreign correspondents; vaults so far opened are found in ad mirable condition; the United States mint on April 17, at the close of the day's business, had on hand $301,000. 000, an actual visible supply of gold ready for distribution In the regular channels of trade; enough to rebuild the city burned. Capital from eastern centers Is also freely offered. Millions for Investment. Hundreds of millions will be avail able for Investment. Street railway telephone, government buildings, the extension of the sea wall, the avail able city bonds of 1904, will provide more than $200,000,000 for rehablta tion. Private capital and money de rived from Insurance will Increase this sum twofold. In the whole history of America no such opportun ity was ever before offered to men of enterprise and courage. A great build ing era will affect every section and California may anticipate years of un precedented business activity and bus iness profit. A lesson In methods of construction Is being learned, and careful observa tion shows poor foundations, yielding ground, rotten wooden supports of old houses, poor concrete, stone veneers, gables unsupported and much faulty methods of building. The tall build ings, all of which remain substantial ly unharmed, though Interiors are burned out, are so many object les sons, y All this will be taken Into account, and the experience will result in mak Sao Francisco and Its neighbors the safest cities in the world In which to reside. In succeeding issues this bulletin will give details of actual work being done In this city and in other places affected. NEW YORK LETTER New York, May 24. More than 50 famlles are cultivating their plots on the Burke farm. In the Bronx, made available for the use of the un employed by the Astor estate. This admirable philanthropy will prove a helping hand to many men with large families who are unable to pay high rents In this city as there are yet available for 100 poor families plots as good as those which have been taken up and cultivated. The recipi ents are very grateful. One of the men who received a plot, wrote to the superintendent: "I have often prayed for just such an opportunity, as I was brought up In the country. and know that I can earn a living for my family on one of these small farms." Tlie Trouble of a Page. The chimes of a great clock tolled 7 through the Thirty-fourth street lobby of the Waldorf-Astoria when a page started from the desk for the cafe. As he entered the cafe the boy stepped In the glare of many lights ami glanced at the card. "Mls-s-s-ster " he started to call, and then looked at the card again. He cleared his throat, passed a hand across his eyes, and holding tne cara closer, again lifted up his voice: "Mls-s-s-s- stcr " but that was as far as he got. Some of the hotel guests glanced at the youth, and saw that he was In trouble. But the page was there to stay. "Mister Mahahara Clcker," he called desperately. There was no answer. The boy was game. He took a section of the third stanza of the name on the card. "Mister Saenakas kell," he called, a bit dismally, but still determined. The cashier asked the page what was the matter. The page held up the rard and pointed at the name upon it. It read: "Sir Saya Jl Rao 111, Maharaja Gaekwar, Sena Kas Khel, Sam Kher Bahadur, Far zantll-Kas-l-Dowlat-l-Ingllsha." "He ain't In. tell 'em that," said th cashier. The boy departed, much re lieved. Problem of Gaining- Weight Solved, A young man who wanted to get on the police force, was six pounds un der weight, applied for advice to cop who had been on the force sev eral years. "It Is the easiest thing In the world," said the experienced one, "Just before you go In to take the physical examination, eat a lot of boiled cabbage and drink all the milk you can. Water UBed to be the reg ular thing, but It Is not so heavy as milk and the stomach holds less of It. Milk and cabbage are the heaviest foods in the world. You can Increase your, weight five to 10 pounds within an hour." The candidate followed the advice and passed with two pounds to spare. Paving Block ml Traffic. Broadway la delighted with Its new pavement, which la of wood, the same kind that has been put down in some of the smaller streets, and has given good results. The change of pavement waa made with comparatively little Interference with the traffic. For the first two or three days before the po lice realized what they were up against, there waa a big interruption to traffic, trucks stopping the cars, so they could maintain only the speed of the line of tracks, for the trucks going one way could go on only one track. But after an experience of a couple of days the police took a new track, and ordered all the trucks, carriages, autos, and the like to turn oft the street and find their destination by a parallel street. This worked admir ably, and soon all was working well again. The paving company also took especial trouble to hurry up the work although they did not do any work at night or Sundays except on one occa sion. The pavement Is silent and so easy on the horses that It Is a cora mon sight to see the heavy teams trotting along with a load that weighs two or three tons. It Is possible to obtain relief from chronic indigestion and dyspepsia by the use of KODOL FOR DYSPEPSIA. Some of the most hopeless cases of long standing have yielded to it It enables you to digest the food you eat and exercises a corrective Influence, building up the efficiency of the di gestive organ. The stomach is the boiler wherein the steam Is made that keeps up your vitality, health and strength. Kodol digests what you eat Makes the stomach sweet puts the boiler in condition to do the work nature demands of it gives you relief from digestive disorders, and puts you In shape to do your best and feel your best.

It is a fact that many outside firms are sending combine harvester hitches here and representing them as equalizers and charg- lng exorbitant prices for them, when In comparison with the' hitch ! invented and patented by J. J. Wlntgen and manufactured by the ! Pendleton Iron Works, they compare about as favorable as a pair of double-trees would with a stretcher. We have a capital of $20,000 and will guarantee each and every hitch made by us, to be an equalizer in every sense of the word, and as to people being afraid to buy one from fear of Its being an In fringement, such as competitors claim, we will cheerfully back every man who buys one from us and gets into trouble over It The Wlntgen equalizer reduces the number of horses used, be cause makes all pull together and ho power Is lost, nor can any horse T shirk or hold back, as the leaders lowing horses must do its work. Why be robbed by paying such high prices as these , outsiders charge you, when we can sell you one for40 per cent less than their price. For Instance, they will charge you $250 for a 32-horse hitch, while our prices are as follows: 32 Horse Hitch $180.00 23 Horse Hitch $155.00 26 Horse Hitch $145.00 20 Horse Hitch $110.00 16 Horse Hitch $90.00 You can readily see that wa will save you from 25 to 40 per cent on each hitch purchased, besides, you are patronizing home Industry and we are always here to back each purchase.

Let us give you an estimate on your' work. Every time you dress a Job with out-of-dato type or 'send out a Job t'. at is poorly done yoif 'send out a yellow dog to bark against you. As long as he barks you will lose business. Your busi ness associates and your patrons are apt to form a poor opinion of you If you use cheap and poorly printed stationery. "Cheap" printing Is dear In the long run. Our work is artistic and the price Is reason able. When you want any work see us and we will save you money and give you better work than you can get elsewhere In Pendleton. If you are "from Missouri" come around and we will "show you."
