T. 6. MONTGOMERY WRITES OF BO
T. G. Montgomery, the well-known
and popular grain buyer nf this city,
who, with Mrs. Montgomery, Is now
touring the republic of, Mexico,
write the following entertaining let
ter to the East Oregonlan concern
ing hit trip through that country:
City of Mexico, Feb. 16.
(Editor East Oregonlnn) Our
first stop In the republic of Mexico
war At San Lull Potosl, nn old
fashioned Mexloir city of about M),
Cun .'nhahiUMs, supporred princi
pally by the silver mines In the vi
cinity. Water Is very scarce there and the
Htirer clans -.f Mexican carry it
arund the city relllngit for about
threo cents for 10 gallons. I think
they claim the reason that they have
never put In a system of water works
1 that they desire to furnish em
ployment to the poor In carrying the
water around. They would have to
support them some other way. If not
In this.
There are about 15 Catholic ca
thedrals In the city, some of them
codling several million dollars. The
bishop's palace Is worth more than
all the property In the en tiro sur
rounding country.
I think the Catholic church is re
sponsible for the fact that for 300
years there has been no progress
made In Mexico toward the develop
ment of the country or the enlight
enment of the people and I note
wilh pleasure that many of these
costly church edifices are being
turned Into livery stables and cream
eries by American capital.
City of Mexico.
The City of Mexico is quite beau
tiful, hut Its chief attraction is Its
c'Iniate. The national museum, the
art gallery, the natonnl palace and
the caMIe of Chapultepec are won
derful nine, and are objects worth
seeing.
There are many beautiful and at
tractive plnzns and ulso many ca
thedrals here, which, on account of
their great ape, are interesting. They
alio have the hull fight, which Is a
popular sport for the natives, but
one real fight Is enough for any Am
erican. The City of Mexico Is becoming
Americanized very rapidly and it Is
necessary to go Into ihe Interior rf
the republic to find the Mexican Ilv
li.g ns he formerly lived in his na
tive slmpllcty, poverty and misery.
Cucrnavacn.
Cuernnvnca ("Cow's Horn") Is
"Hunted about 120 miles south of the
City of Mexico Is n beautiful valley
where they grow good coffee, ba
nana, oranges, pineapples and oth
er tropical products. It has a popu
lation of about 16.000 and the usual
number of very fine cathedrals sfv
eral hundred years old.
Rnndn's home parden, formerly
n-od by Maximilian and Carlntta, as
a summer home, and costing over
$1,000,000 Is one of the, chief at
tractions of Cuerhnvacn. It is filled
with troplcnl fruits and flowers and
Inclosed In a high stone wall and Is
n dream.
The state capltol Is In the build
Irg that was once the palace of Cor
tez, the conqueror of Mexico.
In going from Mexico City to the
gulf you often cross the paved wagon
road built by Cortex over 300 years
ago. it was built for the purpose of
transporting heavy artillery from the
coast to the capital. It Is mare of
stone, 20 feet wide, over 1000 miles
In length and well preserved. It Is
one of the most remarkable roads
In the world. It might pay the Fen
dlton street committee to make a
junketing trip here to examine it and
get some pointers.
To Vera Criis.
The most enjoyable side trip we
have made was from the city of Mex
ico to Vera Cruz.' We made up a
party of eight and had a Pullman
car to ourselves, each person occurr
ing a section In the narrow guage car.
The Pullman was our home until we
returned.
We made out first stop at Pucbla
and were taken to see the pyramid
of Cholula and other points of Inter
est. We climbed to the top of the
pyramid and enjoyed all that was to
be seen. We also stopped at Jalapa,
the oldest city In the republic, and
one which the American has not
chnnged to any extent. It Is Mexi
can to the backbone.
It Is the prettiest city' of all and
Is well kept and clean. It has a pop
ulation of about 27 000. There Is
only one wheeled vehicle In the city
and it ha? hut two wheels and is
owned by the governor. I believe
there are a number flf street cars
pulled by six mules each, which
m.ke two trips V day.
We made a trip into the "Jungles"
of Mexico, 19 miles out, on a branch
road. All along this line hananus,
p'ne apples, coffee and other tropi
cal products grow " like wheat in
I'mntllla county. On our return to
the mnln line our engine ran over a
bull and lumped the track. No one
hurt lo-t the '"ill.
We hud to walk three miles
through the "Jungles" and carry our
loid of pineapples and 'other souve
nirs, and roarhed the main line Just
In time to catch our train.
Resrect fully,
T. G. MONTGOMERY.

CATARR
H PREPARES
THE SYSTEM
White Catarrh in its first stages TTQD CONSUMPTION
usually offectathehead.it does not w" KMllkllHirilllll
stop there if the trouble is allowed to run on. The contracting of a
cold is generally the commencement of the unpleasant Symptoms of
ringing noises in the ears, nose stopped up, mucus dropping back
into the throat, hawking and spitting, etc. The inner skin or mucous
membrane of the body becomes inflamed and secretes an unhealthy mat
ter which is absorbed into the blood, and Catarrh becomes a serious and
jangerous blood disease. Every day the blood becomes more heavily loaded
with these poisonous secretions, and as the poisoned blood constantly passes
through the lungs they become diseased, and often Catarrh terminates In
Consumption. Sprays, washes, inhalations and such treatment do no real
rood, because they do not reach the poison-laden blood, where the real
uuuuic ilea. x lie uuiy way tuvuro V-UIHIIU
is to purify and bu ild n p the blood. S. S. S.
has been proven the remedy best suited for
this purpose. It goes down to the very
bottom of the trouble and removes every
trace of imrmritv from the circulation.
PURELY VEGETABLE freshens this life stream and, asthis healthy
blood goes to every nook and corner of the
system, Catarrh is driven out and a lasting cure made. The inflamed mem
branes and tissues heal, the secretions cease, the head is cleared and the entire
system renovated and put in good condition by the use of S. S. 8. Write
(or free book which contains valuable information about Catarrh and ask
for any special medical advice VoU desire, without charge.
