"Simple Things Are the Best"
EsDecially la this true in automobile construction. Note the
clean straight line construction of the Mitchell chassis and the
heavily braced construction of the frame.
In this chassis is incorporated 3ome features which you as
buyer cannot afford to overlook. Fit instance, nearly all manu
facturers agree that a three-point suspension is the proper thing
for the power unit. The Mitchell engineers argue that if this la
true it is also right for the second unit, and in consequence the
rear axle, torsion and transmission aro suspended from three points
as shown. With this construction wo use but one universal Joint
The Mitchell in both Jr. Five Passenger and Seven Passenger
Models is rapidly becoming known as the easiest riding of all cars.
We think this three point suspension of rear driving unit has been
a very large factor in building up this reputation. In the Mitchell
both units are flexible to the extent that they conforr to road"
formation and allow as few strains to reach the frame u possible.
Accessibility has been the aim of the Mitchell Engineers. If
you must work on a car the more easily and quickly the work
can be done the more time and money is saved to you. In the
Mitchell the floor boards are not only removable, but the seat stools
can be oulckly taken out, giving you practically the same effect
as if you bad taken off the body. Nearly every needed attention
can be given from above.
1 Call on us and study the Mitchell and you will agree that
nothing could be more clean cut, more accessible than is the con
struction throughout of the new Mitchell.

April 9. 1862. No. 4.
We began to wonder how long we
had to live and die in Dixie without
tents. The second night after the bat
tle I slept on a brush neap to keep out
of the water. The third night I got
two rails. laid one end on a log. the
other on the ground, just far enough
apart so I would not fall through be
tween them, folded and laid my wool
blanket on them and with knapsack
for a pillow and covered up with my
rubber and slept quite comfortably,
About the 11th we got tents called
wedge tents rightly named. Just
room for four men to wedge into a
tent We then got a new camp ground
nearer the landing. 1
The 14th Wisconsin had been detailed
to guard Gen. Grant's base of supplies
while he operated against Corinth. So
our work was to unload supplies from
boats, store and care for them at the
landing and help load teams as they
were sent for. And that was no small
job when we came to feed Grant'"
army.
We had not been there long when we
began to feel the eifect'of climate and
water Many of the soldiers soon con
tracted chronic diarrhoea, which sent
many of them to their graves. I re
member well the last day I did duty at
Y ittsDurg landing. 1 was on guard on
one of the boats at the landing. I had
suffered with chronic diarrhoea until I
was reduced to a skeleton and barely
able to stand, l went to camp for din
ner and on my way back to mv post
my legs gave out and refused to carry
me any farther. I lay on the ground.
Soon Col. Ward passed near where I
lay. I called to him and asked him if
he would not send word to Cant. Mans
field to detail another man to take my
place on guard, which he did ; also sent
another man to help me to camp.
lay in my tent for three days, not able
to eat or help myself, when Capt.
Mansfield detailed two men, William
Gibson and Albert Cleveland, to carry
me to the hospital on a stretcher.
These two men both died the same day
and were buried in one grave before
I got out of the hospital. I have rea
son to believe they handled me as care
fully as they could, but every move
they made wracked my body all over
and 1 went into a spasm. Mv hands
clinched so tight the nurses could not
open them. My jaws set like a vice.
The doctor tried to pry them open but
could not, so two of the nurses took
hold of my lips, raised them up and
maae a iunnei oi them while the doc
tor poured brandy down me. I can re
member now just how I felt as I swal
lowed it. My nerves began to relax
and i began to cry. boon after I
swooned away and became unconscious
and remained that wav for ten davs.
After I came to myself again the day
nurse, as he came into the tent in the
morning and saw me rational said to
me, "Tommy, I expected to see you
dead every morning for the last ten
days vhen i came into the hospital."
From that time I began to mend
slowly. For two weeks or more I was
not able to raise mvself off the cot
The first time I tried to walk the tent
pole was at the foot of my cot I
worked myself down to the foot of the
cot, got my feet on the ground, got
hold of the tent pole and raised myself
up. My head began to swim, yet I
thought I was able to walk. I let go
the tent pole and started, but I could
not lift a foot and I went down full
length on the ground in the alley. The
nurse came, picked me up and laid me
on the cot and advised me not to try
that again until I got a little stronger,
which I heeded.
I had a severe pain in my head all
the time and the band used to practice
a short distance from the hospital and
every time the bass drum was struck
it went through my head and nearly
sent me wild. If I could have gotteo
at that bass drum with a sharp knife
I would have spoiled it at once.
Capt Mansfield used to come to the
hospital just at sunrise every morning.
I looked for him as regular as the sun
rose. He always brought bottle of
blackberry brandy with him and cave
ir a a tablespoonfuL He thought that
was all I could stand. My tentinaU
was in the hospital at the sanaa time
and he served us both alike.
Adin Gibson was my tentmate and
wa bunked together from the begin
ning to the end of the war, except for
three months. He was wounded in the
hand and thigh, on the 22nd of May,
1803, at Vicksburg. He was sent to
the hospital and gone three months.
He carries the ball in his thigh until
this day.
My comrade and I were sent north
with a boat load of convalescents.
Sam Gatey was the name of the boat
that took us. We went down the Ten
nessee to the Ohio, down the Ohio to
the Mississippi, then up the Mississippi
to Keokuk, la., and were placed in
the medical hospital there. I was not
able to walk from the landing to the
hospital The weak ones were taken
to the hospital in an ambulance.
When we got in front of the entrance
the driver called out "Haiti" The
horse stopped still and when we all
got out the driver called out "File,
right,, march!" The horse turned to
the right and went on.
The horse knew what the driver
said and obeyed like a good soldier, as
he was. In all of his work in deliver
ing supplies to the hospital he gave
command to his horse just as a drill
sargeant would to a company of sol
diers. I watched him with a good
deal of interest until it came to be a
common thing.
We were kindly treated in the hos
pital and the bracing air of the north
soon gave new life to the soldiers. We
stayed in the hospital until about the
last of September, when we were dis
charged from the hospital and sent to
our respective regiments. We took
boat and went down the Mississippi
and up the Ohio and Tennessee to
Pittsburg landing. Then we took
wagons to Corinth, Miss., arriving
three days after the second battle of
Corinth.
When Gen. Price came to make the
attack the 14th Wisconsin was sent out
to meet and lead him in. The 14th
put out skirmishers. The rebels halted
and formed line of battle and sent out
skirmishers to feel their way in. As
soon as the skirmishers met ours fell
back, also the regiment, so as to bring
the rebels in where the batteries could
get in their work. The enemy came
solwly, pushing our skirmishers and
regiment back.
There was some sharp work done on
the skirmish line. We had one man
killed. John Henry. "Shis fighting was
in the woods. Henrys Galigan, of our
company spied a rebel not more than
20 or 30 feet away. Both had empty
guns. Both jumped behind a tree to
load. They both came out from behind
the tree at the same time. Henry was
putting the cap on his gun. He raisedl
the gun to fire, but the rebel was too
quick for him and fired first. The ball
struck the cone of Henry's ramrod and
divided the ball in three pieces, and
split the ramrod. One piece stuck fast
in the cone and the other two pieces
struck Henry in the left breast. He
clapped his hand to his breast and the
rebel started for him with the bayonet,
but Henry raised his gun to his shoul
der. When the rebel started to get be
hind a tree Henry fired and the rebel
fell on his face at the foot of the tree,

SLOCOM & CANFIELD
SHOW EXPANSION
The Slocom & Canfield bookstore is
perhaps now one of the best equipped
such places of business in the Worth
west Following the removal of W. F,
Laraway from -the east half of the
storeroom in the Smith block, Slocom
terially increased, and occupied the
entire place. The picture developing
department was removed from an up
stairs room and placed conveniently at
the rear of the store.
Those who have seen Mr. Slocom the
past two or three weeks in spare min
Utes with hammer and saw have ex
pressed the opinion that a mighty good
carpenter was spoiled when he went
into the bookstore business. Mr. Slo
com built the new shelves of the big
book store and arranged pew racks. .
There is a new convenience at the
Slocom & Canfield store, where books,
magazines stationery pictures, type
writer supplies and office sundries are
neatly arrayed, that is appealing to
the customer and at the same time an
aid to the book store salesmen.

last year purchased from James Wish
art a large tract of land near Parkdale
was here last week to let the contract

PATRIOTIC ROSE
FESTIVAL PLANNED
Representatives of the leading patri
otic, civic and business organizations
of Portland are actively assisting in
the general canvass of Portland for
$25,000, the amount necessary to stage
the iai7 rose festival which will be
held June 13, 14 and 15.
The decision to make the festival a
huge patriotic demonstration this year
has met with high commendation, and
such organizations as the Oregon Pat
riotic Service League, the Girls Honor
Guard, Spanish-American war veterans
and the G. A. R. are giving it their
enthusiastic backing for this reason.
In this connection the festival board
has ordered the construction of the 36-
foot replica of the Statue of Liberty
that guards the entrance to New York
harbor and the copy will occupy the
center of the festival center and the
Court of Patriotism."" It will be guard
ed by cannon whose missiles will be
showers of rose petals.
Miss Flora E. Breck, a stenogra
pher, was the winner of the festival
slogan this year. Her slogan which
will appear on festival posters is :
"Flower gowned, forest bound, rose
crowned Portland. "
Firemen-Council Friction Denied
A report circulated to the effect that
the Volunteer fire department contem
plates disbanding,, because of alleged
friction between the fire lads and the
city council, has no basis according to
both city officials and. officers of the
fire department.
"Such talk is rot," says R. B. Peri
go, the department's treasurer. Re
corder Howe expressed surprise when
the report was mentioned. "I have
heard nothing of it," he said.
- L. G. Morgan, who was succeeded as
fire marshal, tendered his resignaton
not because of any difference between
himself and the council, but because
he was unable to devote sufficient time
to the office because of private duties.
Why Constipation Injures
The bowels are the natural sewerage
system of the body. hen they be
come obstructed by eo:utipation, part of
the eieonous matter which they should
carry off is absorbed into the system,
making you feel dull and stupid, and
interfering with the digestion and as
similation of food. The condition is
quickly relieved by Chamberlain's Tab
lets. Obtainable everywhere.

Why Depression Comes
Hood River People Will Find that for
Every 111 There Is A Cause
Defiance of certain natural laws causes
business depression. Defiance of other
natural lawe causes depression of mind
and body. I'ric arid and kidney weak
ness are modern evil, produced by over
work, hustle, worry, excesses, meat eat
ing and careless living. Kidney dis
eases do great damage, usua'ly before
they are discovered, so it is well to take
warning from. kidney backache urinary
disorders, pains when stooping or lift
ing, dull headaches dizzy spell?, rheu
matic pains, etc. Neglect may pave the
way for some dangerous kidney trouble.
Doan's Kidney 1 il's are used in lust
such capes and recommended all over;
the civilized world. Hood River people
are well repiesented in this grand cho-
rus of praise. Here's one of the Hood
Hiver cases: !
Mrs. M. A. Douglas, 1126 Seventh St.,
Hood Hiver, say: "I was more or lees
subject to backache, and during that
trouble my kidneys were irregular in
action. I felt depressed and bad no
ambition for anything. After I had
taken two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills
I felt like a different person That
misery in my back stopped and my kid
neys haven t caused me any trouble
siree."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's
Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Dong
las had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props.,
