The Markets
Wheat remains quiet with prices un
changed. There is a lull in Oriental
demand, caused, by the refusal of the
steamship companies to give more lib
eral rates. Poultry is slightly higher
owiug to lack of supplies and eggs are
slowly crawling downward.
The orange supply is running low and
prices are slightly advanced. Hops are
unchanged, and but few sales are re
ported. PORTLAND MARKETS.

heavily cut.
A tentative draft included $500,000
for a fuel oil station at San Francisco,
$275,000 for Mare Island mvy yard,
$170,000 for Ponrl Harbor, Honolulu,
lint nothing for the Puget Sound yard.
It authorized the laasing o"f drydocks
at Hunters Point, San Francisco, for
naval purposes for six years at $50,000
a year.
Amplo provision was mado for colo
bnttion of the opening of tho Panama

Y
California Promoter Cannot Understand
Why Farmers Around Lake Labisn
Do Not Drain Tracts.
SUGGESTS DEVELOPMENT OP
EEGION WITHOUT DELAY
Funds Necessary for Development Small
in Comparison With Benefits to
Be Derived Therefrom.
According to j. O. Hayes, the Cali
foruian who has successfully drained
Lake Labish proper, tanners in Marion
county hardly realize the actual worth
of the land lying around loose in an un
cultivated state. Mr. Haves' portion
of tho lake is small compared with acre
age of the remainder despite the fact
that the California promoter holds at
least 2000 acres. Thousands upon
thousands of acres of this beaver dam
land is located north and northeast of
this city and it is practically worthless
at the present time for the reason
tho owners will not undertake to carry
oul a proposition similar to that in
which Mr. Hayes is successful engaged.
Enormous Farming Tract
"Lake Labish. comprises one of the
most valuable and largest forming ter
ritories in tho country," said Mr.
Hayes yesterday. "The land is cap
able of growing anything under the sun
and it is a groat wonder the farming
community north of Salem has1 not
realized the fact long before this Of
course, it costs a little money to, pre
pare this beaver dam land for actual
use, but when comparing the cost of
prearation with the great benefits,
both financially and othorwise, to be
derived, it is a foregone conclusion that
to clear, drain and put the acres to
work means wealth for any person who
is willing to tackle the proposition.
"I would suggest that the owners of
the remainder portion of the lake dig
a ditch similar to mine from the pres
ent drainage ditch west to the Willam
ette river. This beaver dam land ex
tends for miles and miles from the ex
treme eastern boundaries sixteen miles
northeast of Salem, to. tho Willamette
river, and every foot of this land is
capable of growing farm produce in
unlimited quantities and of the very
finest quality. It would require con
siderable funds to promote such a prop
osition, I will admit, but taking into
onsideration tho worth of tho laid af
ter it has been properly jrared for, the
money expended in improvement would
bo a mere trifle in comparison.
Is Boostor.
Although Mr. Hayes is a Calilornian
and has largo holdings in the southern
stato, ho is not overlooking the possi
bilities at hand right here in Marion
county. Ho declares that laud worth
$1000 an acre is not picked up in every
stale and that ho intends to prepare
2000 of the Lake Labish land and raise
things which will make the' Oregon
farmer Bit up and take notice.
"After I have cleared my 2000 acres
it will bo necessary for me to put it to
immediate use in order to koep it clear
of foreign growth," he continued, "I
am safo in saying that this beaver dmu
soil will need work or it will bo covered
with foroign growth in a very short
space of time. It will require great
effort to keep the land clear of grow
ing substances long enough to complete
tho work of clearing, as tho soil is of
such nature as to render it a veritable
natural fertilizer, which will force the
growth of all Beods and shrubs."
ALASKA BILL IS PASSED
HOUSE APPPROVES MEASURE
WHICH MEANS AN EXPENDI
TURE OF $35,000,000.
usiTrn i'iiksh leased whir.
Washington, Feb. 19. The adminis
tration Alaska railroad bill, authoriz
ing the president to construct a $35,000,
000 railroad from Alaska's coast to its
great coal fields, was passed by the
houso late yesterday by a vote of 2.10 to
7.
A similar measuro lias passed the
senate and the hills will bo taken up at
once in conference botween the two
houses, and the measures will bo sent to
the president, who has signified his In
tention of signing it.
At the eleventh hour, after a sharp
iarliainentary skirmish, the house elim
inated from the bill ss reported by tho
territories ,commitei, a provision au
thorizing a bond issue of $35,000,000 to
finance tho railroad and to bo pmid oft
by the proceeds of government land
sales In Alaska. The senate bill provides
a $40,000,000 bond issue. Rcpresenla
tive Fitzgerald, of New York, lod a
fight which resulted in striking out the
bond provision.
Under the amended mcnjuiro the prnjin't
would bo financed out of tho funds by
tho treasury, the president being limit
ed to $35,000,000 and $1,000,000 being
appropriated for immediate expense.
Congress would appropriate each year
the amount estimated to bo necessary
for the construction of the roiwl.
Tho bill provides for the construction
if i
Mclntire and Heath, in 'The Ham
of a road "not to exceed 1000 mileB, to
be so located as to connect one or more
of the open Pacific ocean harbors on
the southern coast of Alaska with nav
igable waters of inner Alaka, and with
a coal field or fields including coal suf
ficient in quality and quantity for naval
use, so as to best aid in tho distribution
of agricultural and other resources of
Alaska."

Stomach Troubles H
Due to Aridity
So Says Eminent Specialist.
So-called stomach troubles, such as
digestion, wind, stomach ache and in
ability to retain food, nro iu probably
nine cases out of ten simply evidence
that fermentation is taking place in the
food contents of the stomach, causing
the formation of gas and aeiils. Wind
distends the stomach and causes thut
full, oppressive fieling sometimes
known as heartburn, while the niiid ir
ritiUes ami inflames the dellcato lining
of tho stomach. The trouble lies en
tirely in tho fermenting food. Such fer
mentation is unnatural, and acid fer
mentation is not only unnatural, but
may involve most serious consequences
if not corrected. To stop or prevent
fermentation of food contents of the
stomach and to neutriUizo tho acid, and
render It bland anil harmless, a tea-
spoonful of bisurated magnesia, prnb-
nllily the best and most effective cor
rector of acid stomach known, should
be taken In a quarter of a glims of hot
or cold water Immediately after eating,
or whenever wind and acidity is felt
This stops the fermentiution, and neu
trallr.es tho acidity in a few moments.
Fermentation, wind and acidity are
dnngerous and iinnccesHury. Stop or
prevent thent by tho uso of the proper
anticide, such ss bisurated mnnesia
which can bo, obtained from any drug
gist and thus enablo tho stomach to do
its work properly without being hin
dered by poisonous gns and dangerous
ae.lds.-M. F. P.
RUB BACKACHE AWAY
Rub Lumbago, Pain, Stiffness Bight
Out With a Small Trial Bottle
Of St. Jacobs Oil.
When your back is sore and lame oi
lumbago, sciatica or neuritis has von
stiffened up, don't suffer! Get a
small trial bottle of old honest "St
Jacobs Oil" at any drugstore, pour
little in your hand and rub it right in
to the pain or aehe, and by the time von
count fifty, the soreness and lameness
is gone.
Don't stay crippled! This sootbinc.
penetrating oil needs to be used only
once. It takes the ache and pain rieht
out and ends the misery. It is magi
cal, yet absolutely harmless and doesn't
burn or discolor the skin.
Nothing else stops lumbago, sciatica
and lame back misery so promptly and
surely. It never disappoints.
