WHAT IT MEANs.-One Of the most i'm
portart railroad projects in the L. s. is
that Of the Astoria road. Its building
means q great deal io the northwest. 1t ls
well set forth in the following statement
by prominent man TO the Portland Sun: :
/ 1T Is only necessary 10 glance At q map
to see that the mouth OF the Columbia
river is the proper point from which the
grain OF the Willamette valley. Eastern
Oregon and Washington should he
! shipped to foreign ports. Astoria Is
nearer TO the farms on which the grain is
grown, and il is further By 800 miles for
ship to go to the Sound for cargo than
TO load at Astoria, including 800 miles
| towage at Seattle, as against 20 miles at
Astoria. He states that every man, wo-
man child in Portland, the Willamette
valley along the banks of the Columbia
and in Eastern Oregon and Washington
Is vitally interested in the building OF the
road TO Astoria. 1t makes an outlet 10
market for grain at the lowest possible
cost, as the roads will lay the grain down
in Astoria at the same rate they now
charge TO Portland, it opens market at
lower rates for the product OF the timber
lands on the lower Columbia and will
enable the packers of salmon aud other
| fish TO load their wares on cars direct
that viii go through to destination with
out transfer.

That Tired Feeling

Is a certain indication OF impure and i'm
poyerished blood. II your blood could
always be rich and pure, full Of the
red corpuscles upon which It's vitality
depends, you would never be weak, or
Nervous Boils, pimples, scrofuia, salt
rheum, would never trouble you. But
our mode OF living, shut in all winter
in poorly ventilated homes and shops,
depletes the blood and there ia loss OF
appetite, and weakness. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla ID the standard remedy for this
condition. 1t purifes, vitalizes and
enriches the blood, overcomes that
tired feeling, builds up the nerves and
gives perfect health. Read this:
SOUR daughter, Blanche, when four years
OF age had humor break out on her
hands and face, which our physician
pronounced eczema. II the cold air
reached her face or hands they would
swell up, look almost purple, and
Aeaded blisters would form and break,

\ RICH MIxE.-Some time ago the
owners Of the Lucky Boy mine entered
into an agreement with a rich Salt Lake
company to bond said mine Tor the sum
OF SO 600, provided the owners OF the
mine would open a well defined ledge.
The papers were all signed and Messrs
Dyson, Moore, Siandish and Stone went
up 10 uncover the ledge. They have
never claimed more than five foot vein,
and would have been oontented with q
four foo; one, but imagine their surprise
when they uncovered we'll defined eight
loot ledge, the precious metal fairly glis-
tening all over 1t. Now the present
Owners are praying night and day that
the Salt Lake company will break their
contract. for they claim their mine is
worth $4,000 in cool cash. The salt
Lake company has already been notified
by their agent, DIR. Smith, OF Iialsey and
are expected to arrive in this city within
the next two weeks. Ii is possible, yea
probable, that this company will put up
q large mill this summer, and thoroughly
demonstrate to the people that the
.LucLy Bow boys have not been talk
ing through their whiskers all these
many years when they said gold abounds
there in paving quaniiiies.-Brownsyille
