Catarrh of The Stomach.
When the stomach is overloaded;
when food is taken into it that fails
to digest, it decays and inflames
the mucous membrane, exposing
the nerves, and causes the glands
to secret mucin, instead of the
natural juices of digestion. This
is called Catarrh of the Stomach.
For years I suffered with Catarrh
of the Stomach, caused by indiges
tion. Doctors and medicines failed
to benefit me until I used Kodol

CRESCEUS TO BE IN OREGON
Fair Board Confident He Can Be Se
cured for the State Fair.
After conducting an inspection
of the conditions at the Fair
Grounds and viewing the progress
of the buildings and the improve
ments there, President Webrung,
Secretary Wisdom and J.H. Settle
mier, of the State Fair Board, have
returned to Portland. Mr. Wisdom
said thaj; so many applications for
exhibition space were being received
that, besides the eighty horse stalls
and sixty-four, cattle stalls, that
are now in course of construction,
it will become necessary to build
eighty-four more sheep pens, and
it may become necessary to con
struct more horse and cattle stalls.
"We are still in correspondence
with Mr. Campbell, of Columbus,
Ohio, the owner of Cresceus, the
world's record trotting horse, and
feel reasonably certain that Cresceus
will be secured for exhibition
throughout the North Pacific Fair
Association circuit. I am confident
that the sum he demands will be
raised between the different associ
ations of the circuit and that he
will be on exhibition at all of the
meetings. If he can be secured,
and I think he will be, he will
prove the greatest attraction
Fair has ever produced

we cannot afford to pass

Mr. Wisdom also said that he
understood it was Mr. Campbell's
intention to winter Cresceus in
California. With a record of 2:02 1,
made at Columbus, on August 2,
1901, it is impossible for him to
secure any more match events and
he is valuable only for exhibition
and breeding purposes. Statesman

HEPPNER IS REBUILDING
Streets Are Beginning to Look Like
They Did Before Flood.
"Heppner people are taking right
hold, and the tow is" going to
build up again," said C. A. Rhea,
president of the First National
Bank, of Heppner, who was in
Portland Wednesday.
"Seven carloads of building lum
ber wre received the other day,
and within a shorttime buildings
will commence to go up. The
work of moving the flooded houses
that were not crushed back on to
their rightful foundations, is going
ahead. Many of the drift piles
near the center of the town have
been removed. The splintered re
mains are being used for fire-wood.
Survivois who got out of the flood
are doing well. There have been
no deaths or bad relapses from
shocks and exposures. No resi
dences have been started on the
sites of houses near the creek for
he reason principally that the
debris has not been sufficiently
cleared away. All of us calculate
to put up houses after awhile. To
delay in starting is only natural
People have temporarily gone away,
but will come back again. As for
myself, I cannot bear to stay there
Everyone who can get away for a
month or two is absent.
"Most of the frame houses that
were tossed by the flood into the
main street are moved back on the
street line, and the street is begin
ing to look like it use to. Ayres'
three houses have been set back on
their proper foundations, and car
penters are making repairs. There
is plenty of work for laborers.
"The last corpse was found Tues
day. It was that of a small boy,
but it was unrecognizable. The
body was found lying near the
railroad track a few miles below
town. It had been missed in the
general search, and dirt from the
reconstructed railroad grade had
been thrown over it leaving it half
exposed.
"Poor families are well supplied,
I dare say that some of these have
more and better clothing, footwear
and household stuff than they ever
had before the flood. Plenty of
money has come in. The task of
looking after the wants of the
destitute is a tedious one and is
being carefully performed by volun
teers among ihe citizens."

who bilked several firms along the
line by borrowing money on the
credit of well known house3, re
ceived a three years' eentence in
the penitentiary at Roseburg this

BUSINESS IS GROWING
Corvallis & Eastern Railroad Offers
Good Outlet Into Central Oregon.
Traffic along intermediate points
on the Corvallis & Eastern railroad
has increased to such a volume
that, the management is hisrd
pressed to find cars to move the
stuff, There is such a demand at
Yaquina, Albany and at outside
points for lumber and other mill
stuff that orders are greatly delayed
The shops of the line at Yaquina
City, though limited as to facilities,
are a veritable hive of industry at
the present time. Fifty new flat-
cars nave recently oeen manu
factured there, and almost all are
ready to be sent out as lumber-
carriers. A large number of other
cars are to be made at once. Oper
ations of two new mills on the east
ide of the Coast Range and of a
mill situated at the end of an eight
mile flume near Philomath have
argely increased. Businessisgood
with the big lumber mill at Mill
City, on the eastern end of the Cor
vallis & Eastern, orders being in
for a month ahead, it is said. The
rolling stock of the road is kept
busy, and much of the business
that has started up is due to the
evelopment of a country that was
or a long time backward. Atten
tion has been frequently called to
the fact that the Corva.'lis & East
ern offers one of the best outlets
hrough the Cascade Range into
Central Oregon. With a terminus
n Eastern Oregon, the Corvallis &
Eastern would become a transpor
tation line of first importance in
the middle section of the state..

FIRE AT LINCOLN
Residence of L. Ahrams Was Totally
Destroyed.
Monday afternoon the little town
of Lincoln was visited by a disas
trous fire, which destroyed the resi
dence of L. Abrams, four out
buildings and came near burning
the warehouses. The loss of the
buildings and contents amounted
to about $2400 and were insured
for $1200. The cause of the fire is
not known, although it must in
some manner have caught from the
range in the kitchen.
The dwelling house burned to
the ground, leaving the family
without a single article of clothing
beside what they were wearing.
The only article saved was an old
armchair, Mr. Abrams' favorite for
twenty years, which happened to
be on the porch. The dwelling
was built by Mr. Abrams in 1869,
although he has since rebuilt and
added to it, and he has made his
home ihere with his family con
tinuously since that time.
Br sides the intrinsic value of the
household goods destroyed, the
treasures gathered during a life
time, and which could not be
reckoned by money value, were
swept away in smoke almost in an
instant. One of the most valuable
articles lost was a collection of
eighty rare coins in a genuine
carved sandalwood box, together
with a large assortment of curios,
knives, and swords collected by a
member of the family of the family
in the Philippine Islands during
the Spanish war.
Those who witnessed Ihe fire
commented upon the fact that they
had never before seen a building
melt so quickly by flame. Within
ten minutes from the time smoke
was first discovered, the entire
house was a roaring furnace, flames
burstingjrom, .every - wiiidttwvi
from the roof.
In 1890 the store and contents
belonging to Mr. Abrams was de
stroyed 1))' fire, of incendiary origin,
at 5 o'clock in the morning, entail
ing a loss of $6000 and at that time
the heat whs sa intense that several
times the house caught fire, but
was saved by spreading wet blankets
on the roof and over the eaves..

and their sister in Iowa.
Those who followed the details
of the disaster will recollect the
heroic work of Mr. Kiernan, who,
at the hist moment, opened the
telegraph key and "flashed" a
bulletin of the occurrence to the
next station. He was swept to his
death by the torrent w hich followed
the cloudburst, and hif helpmate
met a similar fate. The officials of
the O. R. it N. were loth to inake
public their act in providing for
the waifs, but such a commendable
kindness could not pas unnoticed
through the community at large
when the news b aked out. Colonel
Crooks, in President Mohler's office,
would make no further statement
with reference to the case, other
than that the children had been
sent to finish their education.
