FAT AND LEAN
That is, babies: fat, they are
happy and safe; lean, they are
neither happy nor safe.
Apart from being entirely
healthy or not quite well, a fat
one has much reserve of vital
strength to resist any sudden
attack, while the lean one has
little or no reserve.
The way to be fat and well
is Scott's emulsion of cod-liver
oil. A little: only a little.
Not any, if healthy and plump
already; "let well enough
alone.

SOUTHERN OREGON MINES. I
Reed Jb Fletcher have suspended
operations at their mine, located in
Forest cnek district, until they can
arrange some of tlioir machinery more
satisfactorily. The property is show
ing np well.
Broad & Reid, owners of the Oregon
Belle, which is situated in Forest
creek district, have a force of men
employed in putting ore on the damp.
They have one of the best properties
in the Stato, and are making regular
cleanups, each one of which yields
many hundred dollars. Certain
parties are inspecting it, with inten
tions of purcliasiug at a big figure.
J. W. Opp has a force employed in
the Gold Standard mine, located a
few miles west of Jacksonville; bat
is auable to operate the mill on ac
count of the scarcity of water. He
lias made several satisfactory clean
ups. The last one yielded about
(1400, the result of crushing 25 tons
of ore. Negotiations are pending for
the transfer of tli property, and if
consummated the property will be
operated on a large scale.
The Yellow Jacket Mining Co.,
began work, Frank Jordan the fore
man, sending a crew of men ont to
the mine Monday. The Yellow Jacket
is well situated; on the west is the
old Gold Hill mine that produced in
the early CO's a fortune to its owners.
The Mnybell and Nellie Wright on the
east, the Hagan which in its early
history produced a large amount of
gold, are all 011 the samo ludge and
show a wonderfully long chute of
gold bearing rock. On the south are
the rich ledges of the Braden-Gra-luiiu,
Wing and Ross groupe. Dr.
Hamilton of Los Angles lias become
Interested in this property and we
understand ho has plenty of means to
develop the property and with foreman
Jordan to manage the developing, it
will be another big producer for this
district.
OREGON'S RICH INDUSTRIES.
Over 125,000,000 will be added to
the wealth of tho State of Oregon this
year from five of her principal indus
tries. The showing is by far tho bost
on record.
Lumber will probably lead the list
this year, and conservative estimates
place the cut of tho year for the en
tire state at 1,000,000,000 feet, valued
at approximately $10,000,000. Next
on the list is a wheat crop,which'at
the present pricesjwill net the growers
over 18,000, 000. Tho largest wool
clip ever sold in the state has practi
cally all reached market, or at least
has passed out f the hands of the
growers at better average prices than
have prevailed for a number of years.
The clip was something over 20,000,
000 pounds, and at the prices generally
paid has probably added fcl.OOO.OOO to
the wealth of the stato.
With hops the yield promises to be
near the record, with practically a
certainty of 80,000 bales, which, at
present prices, will amount to about
$2,500,000.
The returns are not quite all in on
the salmon pack, bat enough is
known to warrant an estimate of over
$2,500,000 as tho valno of the canned,
frozen and pickled product.
Fruit last year was a pretty close
running mate with liojw and salmon,
and this year, if complete returns
were obtainable, might make a show
ing fully as favorable as either of the
other great staples which have made
Oregon famous.
BAD IDOLS.
Eurojiean enterprise is furnishing
Africa with its heathen idols! It is
an actual fact that the hideous images
which tho African savago worships
are now being mado at factories in
England, at Ninies in Frunce and at
Griez in Germany. Tho firm that
deals in these strange gods has its
headquarters at Znugucbar, where it
does a thriving business. The natives
pay for the European made gods with
ivory, palms, maize, nuts, gold and
cattle. They pay at the exhorbitant
rates, too, which the white man has
always exacted from the unsophisti
cated savage.
The merchandise jwid for a single
god varies in valuo all the way from
$2.V) to $."i000.
The tribes of the Scnegambian dis
trict in Africa, particularly, believe
that they propitiate their gods by hav
ing their images made in rich metals.
A chief will readily pay 600 barrels of
palm oil, worth $125 a ton, for a fetish
in the shape of a gold monster with a
fiendish head or for a serjient with
three heads affixed to a long pole of
ivory.
The livestock industry as a wealth-
producer will probably stand very
close to the head of the list, and were
accurate figures obtainable would
astonish people unfamiliar with the
magnitude of the industry. Pigs and
goats will also help in piling op
these millions of money for the
agriculturalists to distribute, and
the value of dairy products this year
cannot be expressed without the use
of seven figures. Oats, barley, rye,
flax, corn and other similar products,
while not approaching wheat in
prominence, are in the aggregate suffi
ciently important to help out in local
ities where other collateral is not so
plentifuL Considering the popula
tion, it is doubtful if there is another
state in the Union that can make such
a remarkable financial showing. Ex.
$100 REWAKD, $100.
The readers of this lper will be
pleaesd to learn tliat there is one
dreaded di S44uw that science has been
able to core In all its stages and that
is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Care is
the only cure now known to the medi

FASTEST IN NAVY.
Tho new first-class battlo-shlp Maine
raced around tho Ciin on her trial
course to prove her right to fly the
United States ensign. Her contract
calls for a siwed of 18 knots an hour
for four continuous hours of steaming,
and though on ouo six-mile leg she
dropped to 17.30, on her fastest she
reached 1H.0, and this was followed
by other sjsieds equally agreeable.
Thus at the end, her menu speed de
veloped, without tho ideal allowances,
Was given out as 1H.:. This is not
ofllcial, as tho Navy board has "not
completed its figuring und will not
for some time, but this is the state
ment made by one of the Cramps.
There was a folding that she wns
expected to go over this mark, but,
as it is, she stands today as the fast-est.battle-ship
in tho American Navy,
for tho Illinois, which up to this
time has held the record, did only
17.8 oil her fastest leg.
When tho Maine was coining nvcntt
0110 time she is understood to have
been pushed to 18. 1)5, but it is explain
ed that this is the llrxt time a trial of
this sort has been given under service

warning voice saying, "Flee from'the
accursed enemy of peace and liberty."
From the gallows hear the last
words of tho victim: "It was the in
toxicating cup which turned my
brain and nerved my arm for the
bloody deed for which I am condem

From the povortv strickuu home,
where suffering and hunger reign,
there comes a pitiful voice, "Drink

From the drunkard's grave conies a
voice sieaklug In solemn tones of
hopeless eternity, and all because of
the fatal first glass.
