ITS AW FULNESS. Nothing in the history of North America can equal in horror the ..kss of life and property occasion ed in, San Francisco by the great earthquake and subsequent fire ef last Wednesday. At 5:15 'clock on thai dread morning hundreds of thousands of people were awakened from their slumbers in the twinkling of an aye.. They were driven out into the streets by the swaying of build- . ings and crashing of timbers. Great buildings which had cost millions of dollars and years of unceasing toil for an army of Hies were rent and razed to the the ground later to be lapped up by hungry and merciless flames. Such horror pandemonium, and terror as must have pre vailed during the early stages of such a disaster are beyond rec koning. Few of even the wild est imagination can picture such demonstrations of confusion as must have reigned until cooler heads and nervy men . eame to the tore and restored, as nearly as possible for humans fco dOv under the circumstances, the semblance of order. T6the credit of the people of authority of the great metrop- li& of the Pacific, it must be said that they proved their worth in this, the greatest hour ef trial possible to subject frail humanity. No people in the history of tha world facing such trial have behaved better few, if any, have equaled those who resided in the Queen City. Great has been their charity with.each other in their hour of deprivation. The-damage of the great earthquake.- was infinitesimal, com pared1 with the work of the conflagration which followed. It is hard to fight fire without water and the system supplying the city was so wrecked that water even in sufficient quan tities to allay thirst was unobtain able The flames spread rapid iy, and in spite of every effort by us 3 of dynamite and cannon, continued its work of devas tation until practically three- fourths of the city was a waste of ruins and ashes. The business centers are totally destroyed. But already the work of clear ing away the debris and open ing thoroughfares xnenced. Certain has corn businesses are- being resumed . And best el all, maynap, comes tne an nouncement of the fact that the people are not entirely disheart ened and discouraged. They are- determined to rebuild on greater lines than ever. The San. Francisco of a few years hence will be greater than ever. The resources of California de mand it, as does the entire coast, aye, the whole world. Pheonix like, sh.-; will arise from her own ashes i.i greater splendor than ever. We arc a charitable and com passionate people and to the glory of the entire country be it said ihit nothing in the way of such philanthropy was known before in the history of this or any other nation. In monied contributions there are millions, while from nearly every little hamlet there are supplies and necessities of life sent by the carloads. The transportation companies have all responded nobly to the cause of the stricken city. Much has been done and much will yet be accompli 1 for the des titute of the Bay City, the pride of all the Pacific coast. Connect With Philomath. The Lincoln County Telephone ' Co., is building a commercial line from Philomath to Toledo, there to connect with the long distance line. This line will be completed by June 1st, and will offer outside connections for tele phone messages, There will be no local phones on the line, and where people along the line are to be served they will be served by local lines running to switch boards at stations. This will obviate the usual trouble of get ting through on heayily loaded lines. This company has a large num berof phones at Newport and are putting in twelve new ones this week. Several additional phones are to be added at once to the Toledo exchange. The route from Toledo to Philomath will be by the way of Elk City, Salado and Harlan, This will open up a new territory not touched by any line, and will be a great conven ience to that part of the county. Toledo Reporter. An Attractive Home. A visit to the country, espec ially at this season of the year, is always a pleasant experience to the city dweller, for Nature is now putting on her most attrac tive garb and gently whispering her lessons of life, peace, hope and joy. A knowledge ot these things took us out to the home of Mr. md Mrs. D. C. Rose, about a mile and a half southwest ot ibe city. Here, indeed, a revelation of the allurements of rural lite i waited us. Here Mr. Rose has erected a substantial, commodious and beautiful residence. It occupies a position that commands a fine view of the city, and the valley to the eat with Hood, the Three Sisters and other snow crowned peaks of the Cascades skirting the distant horizon. Mrs. Rose planned and decorat ed the interior of the onse and has shown rare good taste'in'com bination of pleasing coiois, and selection of those accessories which make home the most de sirable place on earth. Mr. Rose has also built a fine commodious bsrrn . which gives him stabling, granaries, mowing and threshing floor of ample ca pacity and convenient arrange ment. The larger part of the farm is given to the culture of fruit, ber ries and vegetables. The fruit trees are laden with promise of abundant crops. This is espec ially true of the prune, apple and cherry orchards. A better con ditioned and cared for orchard cannot be found in the Willam ette valley. The frosts do not appear to have harmed anything and the promise is now that his prune drier will have all it can do ngn. at home. Mr. Rose is to be commended for demonstrating what a rational expenditure of moey and an in telligent application ot orains an J brawn can do here in Oregon toward home-buildiug and se curing a comfortable competen cy. Will Start Factory. Last summer a gentleman came through the country and stopped in Corvallis for the i: hod net ion of a washing machine which he ceiled the "20th Cei -turv." Before leaving here S. P. Hunt purchased ot theiuvcut r of the machine the territorial rights for Oregon. Daring the winter and spring Mr. Hunt has been making the machine ou a small scale,,, but re cently he sold an interest in the machine to Albert .Kemp. The firm of Hunt & Kemp intend to start a factory for the manufac ture of the washers and it is to be located in what is known as the Beach feed store building on North Main street. Some time during the present week Mr. Hunt will go to Port land for the purpose of purchas ing the proper machinery for the factory. It is the intention of the firm to have the factory ready for active operations in the course of a couple of weeks. From what we know of the merits of the machine it appears that the firm should do business from the start and on a paying basis, too. Young EflsFi's Ciothin Ederheimer Stein & Co.

Heniy Sheak, County Chairman. Philomath, Ore., April 23, 1906. " "What a difference in the sTinermg at time of childbirth when Dr. R. V. Pierce's medicines are used." writes Mm. ldluion Jacobs, of Bargersville, Johnson Co., InU. "I had not heard of Dr. Pierce's medicines three years ago when I was con lined, so had to suffer almost death. Before baby was born I could hot be on my feet without two persons holding: me. lne baby was & boy, weighing Q-T ntfmnrlu anil for some wrpL-s after his birth I Haiti T . i- nti p following' the ad vice of a neigh bor, my busband bought me Dr. Pierce's Favor ite Prescription, which 1 took during the win ter, and in March. I gave birth vo a baby boy, weighing 104 lbs. I was only in labor two hours and was on my feet with out help until "The advice of a neighbor. thirty minutes before baby was born. He is now three months old and weighs 19 lbs. X know it was Dr. Pierce's medicine that saved me from suffering. I advise all women to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion, also his " Pleasant Pellets,' if necessary. "Following the advice of a neighbor." What a weight of confirmatory evidence there is in those six words. The neighbor had tried the " Favorite Prescription " and recommended it. Mrs. Jacobs has also tried it and proved its wonderful proper ties and now she recommends it. Beside such testimony as this its maker's words are unimportant. Mrs. Jacobs' experi ence is a fact. Her neighbor's experience is a fact. The written experiences of 500, 000 other women are facts. There is no theory about it. There can be no ques tion about it. In every neighborhood in this broad land there are women who have been cured by the "Favorite Pre scription." It has cured more cases of female complaint than all other medicines for women combined. It is-the only med icine of its kind invented by a skilled specialist in medicine a regularly gradu ated physician of more than forty years' actual experience. The Young Physician. WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED. In the early sixties it was usually the duty of a practicing physician to .ride many miles every day on his regxilar round of visits upon his patients. In those da ys a young man who had received a splendid medical training in one of tho best medical colleges of that day was ac customed to ride ten, twenty, thirty miles or more visiting the sick and afflicted. His success was soon phenomenal. Doc tors and families called him for consulta tion to towns at considerable distances by rail, llis specialty was the cure of those common and distressing diseases of women. He had early discovered that by combining the extracts of the follow ing medicinal plants, in just the right proportion, without the use of alcohol his "Prescription" almost invariably cured such cases. Later, in order to place this remedy before the public in a shape easily to be procured, he established a labo ratory at liufialo, N. Y., where regu larly qualified chemists were put in charge to accurately prepare his "Pre scription" and put it in shape for ship ment to all parts of the world. This remedy, which he named Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is not a "patent medicine" but a tonic and nervine for women, and a regular physician's pre scription, and contains the following in gredients : Lady's Slipper root, Black HEALTH is the Most Important The manufacturers of Royal Baking Powder have had 4C years of scientific experience.

Dr. Pierce does not claim for his "Fa vorite Prescription" that it is a "cure-all." It is recommended as a most perfect specific for woman's peculiar ailments, "o uuifonn are the results which follow tae use of this remarkable remedy, that it can be truly affirmed of "Favorite Pre scription" that it al ways helps and almost always cures. Ninety-eight per cent, of the women who give this medicine a fair and faithful trial are cured and remain cured. It is a powerful invigorating tonic, im parting health and strength in particular to the womb and its appendages. The local, womanly health is so intimately related to the general health that when diseases of the delicate womanly organs are cured the whole body gains in health and strength. For weak and sickly women who are "worn-out," "run-down " or debilitated, especially for women who work in store, office or schoolroom, who sit at the typewriter or sewing machine, or bear heavy household burdens, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will prove a priceless benefit because of its health restoring and strength-giving power. The Proof. "I want to tell you ot the great improve ment in my health, since taking your ' Favor ite Prescription. says Mrs. H. S. Jones, of Forest, N. C. "When I began its use I was a physical wreck and had despaired of ever having good health again. Could not sit ud all day. I noted a great improvement before the first bottle was all used. Was suffering with almost every pain that a woman is sub ject to ; had inflammation of the ovaries, painful and suppressed periods, and other symptoms of female disease. After taking six bottles of ' Favorite Prescription ' I felt like a new person. Can ride horseback and take all kinds of exercise and not feel tired."
