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.

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.

" "What a difference

writes Mm. ldluion Jacobs, of Bargersville,

Pierce's medicines three years ago when I
was con lined, so had to suffer almost death.

before baby was

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

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."
