The Big Agricultural and Saw. Min Ma
Ctalnery Houses Centered la Portland
as Headquarters for tbe Northwest. :
There is nothing of which Portland
is more roud than the gieat agricul
tural implement houses that make
their headquarters for the Northwest
in this city. Among the first of . these
is the Advance Thresher Company,
which has built a fine warehouse and
offices on the East side at Second and
Belmont streets. Mr. J. 0. Humphrey
is the manager in charge of the com
pany's splendid business in this sec
tion, and he ' is now in the thick of
spring activity at his - commodious
quarters.
The threshermen are just now look
ing saarpiy aiier new equipment ana
necessary repairs and renovations for
the coming season, and no one omits
calling at the Advance establishment
if he seeks to inform himself fully as
to the market and advantages of the
various threshing outfits. In fact a
visit to the agricultural and saw mill
machinery manufacturers houseB on the
East side is a liberal education to any
one who wants to get a fair idea of the
vast farmer interests of this part of
America.
Immense capital is invested in these
concerns. . They sell largely on credit,
and when times are prosperous an
enormous amount of machinery is sold
and paid for. They are the thermome
ter of the advancement and prosperity
of the great Northwest. The factory
and principal place of business of the
Advance Threshing Company is at Bat
tle Creek, Michigan. Two years ago
they came into Portland, and now they
re doing business with the most ac
tive . and. influential people in their
lines.

Malaria is a slow poison, but the most stubborn and
deeply rooted when it takes possession 'of the sys
tem. We breathe into the lungs the polluted, germ
tainted air ; the little microbes then enter into the sys
tem, and feeding upon the red corpuscles of the blood,
soon reduce this vital, life-sustaining fluid to such a
weak, watery 6tate that the patient becomes listless.

from Malaria can describe. Other and more dangerous symptoms
are apt to follow where this disease is neglected, such as nervous pros

the more dangerous because of its insidious and stealthy nature. It is

be customary there, when a young
woman falls In love with a man, for
her to go to his father's house, and In
the most tender and pathetic manner
plead with the young man to take her
as his wife. ' She promises the most
submissive obedience to his will If he
will but accept her. If the young man
says: "I beg that you will excuse me
from this," she tells him that she Is

Hutchins as a Union Soldier saw three
years of service under Butler Barke in
the Louisiana swamps and as a result
got crippled with: Rheumatism so that
his hands and feet got all twisted out
of shape and how he suffered only a
Rheumatic will ever know.
. For twenty-five years he was in mis
ery, then one lucky day his druggist
advised him to use Dodd's Kidney Pills.
- Of the result Mr. Hutchins says:
"The first two boxes did not help
me much but I got two more and before
I got them used up I was a great deal
better. I kept on taking them and
now my pains are all gone and I feel
better than I have in years. I know
Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure Rheuma
tism." Nothing Doln.
