DIR. HUGHES SUFFERING AND CURE.
The undersigned, resident of
the town of Slaughter, King county,
w. T., has beer afflicted for over
two years with a disease termed by
some physicians Epithelomia, by
Others Ticdoloreux, from which l
have suffered greatly-at times the
most excruciating pain, relieved
only by hot lamentations.
The disease and pain started in
nay upper jaw on the right side,
under the right aisle of the nose,
extended up through the bones of
the face, and finally to the right
side of my head, affecting my head.
My own skill, being practicing
physician for over forty years, and
counsel from several others of good
repute, failed to give any relief.
L applied to DR.. MoLennan OF
Portland, and received several
treatments from him, and, in truth.
must say that was relieved of all
pain. [ sleep well, eat without
pain, and enjoy peaceful and
pleasant state of mind, such as
have not felt for years.

London Times Says Government Re-
gard Chief Danger on Frontier.


( London, March 12.-The Athens COR
respondent of the Times telegraphs
that he has obtained from highest au-
thorities the outlines of a scheme
which Greece is willing to accept, pend
ing a final solution of the Cretan ques-
ton. The first part of the scheme is
that the Turkish troops be Immediate
ly withdrawn from the island; that the
restoration of order be entrusted to a
part of the European fleet, co-operat-
ing with the Greek army, which will
act under the commander of joint
forces senior of Colonel Vassos; that
insurgents submit to the Powers; that
after three months plebiscite be held
to decide whether the autonomy be
established or the island be annexed
to Greece; that the Powers Immediate
ly induce Turkey to withdraw part of
her troops on the Greek frontier.
Greece to withdraw her troops in the
same proportion.
The Times says the government re-
gard the chief danger as being on the
frontier. Both the Greek army and
the Thessalian peasantry are SO ex-
cited that an outbreak may occur at
any moment. ~

The Science Of Making
Money.

A man who can make money in legiti-
mate business enterprises in times Like
these, surely has his methods reduced to
science, and yet strange TO say millions
of dollars are lying idie at the present
moment awaiting investments. and as
soon as the feeling of confidence becomes
more manifest the wheels of our fac
tories, the looms of our milis and the
furnaces of our foundries will once more
start in active operation. Our country
at the present time Is not suffering from
over production, in fact we are running
as close to the wind ESQ to speak, as Is
possible. the clouds are gradually lifting
from our troubles, and we are beginning
to see clear sailing ahead. We believe
vival of business enterprises, which Is
always reflected in the stock market. as
the securities dealt in on the exchanges
are bound to reap the benefits of a revival
of business, which has for long period
remained stagnant.
Investments made in certain stocks at
proper times show large and sometimes
enormous profits from a comparatively
small beginning, provided tho purchase OF
the same Is made understaHdingly and
based on actual facts as regards their
true worth. 1t does not follow because & q q
dear at any price. but If you can get at
the actual facts an opinion can be
formed. and an investment made that wi.l
prove very profitable in the end. This
corporation presents to its patrons and
correspondents Il plan of cooperative In

PRETTY ROUGH VOYAGE.
Steamer Lake Winaepea Comes Within an Ace
Of Foundering on Voyage.

Liverpool. March 12.-The British
steamer Lake Winnipeg. from st. john
N. b., arrived. Thursday. having con-
sumed Is days on the voyage. Her COM
mander reports one of the toughest voy-
ages in his experience. The heavy sea
which was head over the ship partly filed
her engine room with water and shifted
the cargo. making it necessary to call
upon the passengers to help remove the
water and right the vessel. For more
than two weeks the ships fires were out
and owing to a scarcity of drinking wa
ter and the failure of the condensers to
work. ii became necessary to throw over
board S07 head of cattle, a sheep and -
horses.
The officers and crew of the Lake Win
nipeg, as well as the passengers, of whom
there were Il. agree that the ship narrow
ly escaped foundering. II was with the
utmost difficulty that the great quanti-
ties OF water which flooded the ship as
the seas broke over her and put out her
fires. were rept within the limits of safe
ty to the vessel.
