kept my eyes and ears open and although
man with threshing machine is not
oyerburdened with much leisure time,
still [ have had an opportunity to gam
little insight into the domestic life OF
many Of the inhabitants OF Clackamas
county. Clackamas is one OF the larS-
est and best timbered counties IN the
State. In fact, it labors under the dis
advantage of being too heav-
ily timbered for in some
parts it requires years OF unceasing
toll and untiring exerton to clear enough
land to raise large crop. Notwith-
standing this objection many sturdy
Germans have moved into the timber
and beneath their manly strokes the
huge fir trees are falling rapidly. In
many parts Of Clackamas there are scenes
OF natural beauty that are excelled by no
other section III the United States. 1t ls
well supplied by many silver steamlets
which meander down from their sources
in the mountains and are alive with
speckled front, salmon and other fishes.
The black bear, cougar, coyote and sev.
eral other ANIMALS are also to be found
in plenty and deer hunt is an everyday
institution in some parts of the county.
One of the best bear hunters in the
county is Tom Boving of Damascus. Tom
has slain bears without end, but his last
encounter with bruin was close call.
He sucoeeded in yanquishing the bear,
bnvever, and brought home one
oF his claws AS trophy.
The fight between him and the bear oo-
curred after dark, one wet night, and
Immediately thereafter he was afflicted
with terrible rheumatic pains. One OF his
neiphbors suggested that his limbs be
rubbed with that old and reliable rem
edy, st. Jacobs Oil, and he experienced
instantrelief. Since then there has been
no day that this remedy has lot occu-
pied a conspicuous place upon his man
tel piece. His brother, G. III. Boying.
who lives a few miles from him, also
keeps it in his family, and lauds it to the
skies on every occasion that he can. The
density of the timber in this locality
where they live renders the atmosphere
very moist, and rheumatism is quite
prevalent in that neighborhood. have
had occasion to travel much in my own
vicinity, and can cite fifty of my neigh
bors for miles around who. year i'll and
wear out, keep bottle of st. Jacobs Oil
constantly on hand. Living remote
from town, and not knowing what mo-
ment an accident TO one of tho family
might happen, or some of the cattle get
lamed, nearly every farmer very wisely
keeps bottle on his mantel. They
promptly replace the bottle with a new
one every time it is emptied.
Among others whom | can mention in
this locality as having implicit reliance
and uuswerving faith in the merits Of st.
Jacobs oil are M. Meaning John
Martin, +. Revenue and a host of
others. Mr.. Revenue, whose store is the
first stopping place the emigrant halts mt
this side Of the Cascade mountains, keeps
it in stock right along. Whenever n
farmer happens to meet with an accident
or gets bruised i'll any manner, the first
remedy that is invariably applied is st.
Jacobs Oil
Uncle John Martin, a near neighbor,
was confined to his bed for over
two years. He had the best med
ical attendance that Oregon could
supply, and yet no relief was afforded
him. To day the old gentleman,
who is over seventy years of age,
IS hale and vigorous, and attributes
his rescue from death in no small meas.

Jacobs Oil. This part of our county is
settled mainly by countrymen OF my own
lGermans)a and it is with no small degree
OF pride that | preceive the rapid adj
Vances of civilization that are being
pushed forward by them. In every Ger
man family that comes out here you will
invariably find as part of their lug
gage one or more bottles of the inevita-
bic st. Jacobs Oil. As for myself |
think that my own experience will not
prove uninteresting. ] was out hunting
about eighteen months ago and in at,
tempting to cross over fallen log | fell
and hurt my leg. discharged my gun
several times to attract the attention OF
my comrades but they did not come to-
my rescue. A heavy shower come up
and was wetted through before
assistance arrived. My wound
was attended to and | recovered
from that nicely. But my exposure to
the storm resulted in severe illness;
my entire frame was racked with intense
pain, and my joints were immensely
swollen. Having been relieved years
ago III the East by st. jacobs Oil, | he.

remedy to hundreds and they have all
used it with much success. Among
