Remarkable Rescue.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, ILL.,,
makes the statement that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she
was treated for month by her family
physician, but grew worse. He told
her she was a hopeless victim of con-
sumption and that no medicine could
cure her. Her druggist suggested DR..
Kings New Discovery for ConsumD-
tion; she bought bottle and to her
delight found herself benefited from
first dose. She continued its use and
after taking six bottles, found herself
sound and well; now does her own
housework, and is as we'll as she ever
was. Free trial bottles of this Great
Discovery at Blakeley & Houghton's

THE CRACKER TRUST.
The Portland Teleram Tells How 1t Was
Formed on the Coast.

The Portland releram Tells How 1t Was
Formed on the Coast.
From New Jersey, the land of trusts
and the home of the mosquito, comes
the news that the Pacifi, Coast Biscuit
company has been organized. The
capital stock is placed at $4,000, 900.
OF this amount 81 5000 is preferred
stock. with per cent cumulative divi.
dends. The incorporators' names are
foreign to this part of the country,
and the whole business sounds long
way from home.
For four months Eastern promoters
have been on the coast quietly work
ing on the organizations. During
February options were taken on all Il
the cracker factories on the Pacific
coast These options were good until
May l. The promoters were here
several times, but all returned to San
Francisco two or three weeks ago.
Mr.. Wittenberg and some of the others
interested on the upper coast followed
them there, by request, and it is there
that the work of forming the combine
has been perfected.
There is much to do in a work OF
this kind, and it became evident to the
promoters that May l would get here
before the cracker trust did. They
went to work and had the options re-
newed, good until June l, and then
they were easy.
In the meantime, the man at the
other end has not been idle. -Four
million dollars worth of stock required
good many dollars to handle. Ot
course, there was to be plenty oil
water in il, but water can be raised on
the coast or anywhere. The cash man
put in good time in New York and
other eastern money cenSers, and
secured the necessary amount. which
has not been given out yet. 1t is un
derstood that it is sufficient to pay for
most of the cracker factories on the
coast. Some of them want stock, some
money and some water, while there
are others who, knowing what the eff
feet of mixing water and crackers is,
demand clean cash for their plants.
Those who are supposed to have
looked on the inside think that all the
factories but one at Seattle, one al
Portland and one at San francisco
will be closed down 1t is the general
opinion that the Portland cracker
factory will be the one operated
here.-Telegram

MooNsa1NERs AT WORK.

They Were Doing Business in skagit
County, Washington.
A gang of moonshiners was un-
earthed by the revenue officers near
Hamilton a few days ago, according
to George 81. Bacon, who has just re-
turned from Skagit county, says the
New Whatcom Reyeille The gang
was comprised of three men, natives
of South Carolina, and the tendency
to make illicit whisky was in their
blood. They owned small ranch on
the hillside about three miles south OF
Hamilton 1t was wild-looking place
where no one would look for ranch,
and the still was yet more cleveriy
concealed. On the hillside above
their cabin a k>g was imbedded In q
small mountain stream. 1t was, to the
casual observer, there for no special
purpose, but small hose.came out of
the bottom of the keg and found its
way under the ground to the ranchers'
roothouse. The roothouse was low
and apparently of the most ordinary
character. A small pine box careless
ly thrown upon the roof has since been
found to conceal the chimney that
might on roothouse haye caused com
ment. Inside was the moonshiners'
usual paraphenalia of stove, coppsr
kettle, jugs, etc., and at night the box
was removed from the chimney and
operations began. 1t is said the quail
ity was not extra, but the Indians
thought it was fine. The moonshin ers
sold most of their products to the
Indians, and were making money when
the revenue officers interfered. The
arrests were made several days ago,
and it was then said their crime was
selling whisky to Indians. The fact
that they were also moonshiners has
since become generally known.

BOAT RAILWAY ABANDONED.
The Most Feasible Improvement is a Port
age Road.

The Most Feasible Improvement Is a Port
age Road.
Capt. Harts, superintendent of river
and harbor improvements on the
Pacific coast. left here this morning
by bot for Portland. after having
made an inspection of the right of way
for the proposed boat railway between
Cello and The Dalles From state
ments made by the captain it was in
ferred that the government has aban-
doned the idea of constructing
the boat railway, he having stated
that the money appropriated to COM
mence work had reverted back into
the treasury. hence there is no avail-
able funds with which to prosecute
construction.
When asked what was his idea of the
best method of overcoming the OBJ
structions to navigation at this place.
he stated that it was by the building
of portage road Ship railways, he
said were largely experimental and
could not as yet be considered success.
| The damage to river steamers from
being taken of the water and car
ried overland any distance would al
ways be great. The jar of the cars on
which they were carried would cause
the sea ms in the hull to open, and the
expense of keeping boats thus handled
in repair would always be very great,
so it is question if boat owners would
allow their vessels carried over ship
railway were it built by the govern
ment. The exoense of operating would
be much greater than that of operat-
ing a portage road, including the
loading and unloading of freight. For
these reasons he is of the opinion that
the ship railway will never be built.
As to port .ge road, Capt Harts be-
lieyes congress would readily make an
appropriation, since title to most of
the right of way has been secured, and
il could easily be constructed in one
year, and could be in operation in
time 80 handle the crop of 1900, if an
appropriation could be got through
congress at the next session.

G. F Ross and A. q. Campbell, at
the depot, believe they have solved
the problem of irrigation in the ari0
regions of Eastern Oregon, that is
when applied to certain classes OF
vegetation, and are making prepare
tions to put their theory into practice
in another year. not having conceived
the idea in time to be of use this sea-
son. They propose to overcome the
lack of rain fall by planting potatoes
and onions in alternate rows, and
their theory is that the onions will get
into the potato eyes and make them
she'd sufficient tears to irrigate the
ground and produce immense crops.
They have another idea that is quite
original, and that is to plant egg plant
and milk weed in close proximity,
they believing the crop raised will be
custard pies OF course they are only
experimental farmers, but they have
the utmost confidence in their theor-
lee. aud expect to reap fortune next
year out of their agricultural expert
ments. However they will both retain
their positions in the o. R. & N. Of

tirely upon agricultural.

CONDITION OF CROPS.
Somewhat Improved Over Those of q
Week ago.

Somewhat Improved Over Those of
Week ago.
The weekly bulletin issued by the
agricultural department at Washing
for the week ending May 1st, says:
The week has been exceptionally
favorable for planting, termination
aud growth of corn. Rapid progress
with planting has been made in the
states of the Ohio, central Missis-
sippi and lower Missouri valleys,
and with favorable conditions plant
ing will begin this week in Iowa.
About half the crop has been planted
in Kentucky and West Virginia and
planting is nearly completed in Ten
nessee and Arkansas. In the Southern
states corn has made good growth and
is being cultivated; some complaints
of damage from insects are reported
from the Gulf states. where, however,
good stands are reported.
Further Improvement is general
in the condition of winter wheat, but,
as stated in previous bulletins, much
of the crop has been winter killed,
particularly over the northern por-
tions of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and
northwestern Ohio. aud the southern
portions of Michigan, Wisconsin, and
Minnesota. A marked improvement
in winter wheat is reported from the
Ohio valley, Tennessee, and the Mid
die Atlantic states. The crop is now
heading in the Southern states, Ala
bama and Texas reporting the stalk
very short. On the Pacific coast the
outlook for wheat continues favorable
in Oregon and California, but it is less
promising in Washington.
Early seeded spring wheat is coming
uD to good stands and With vigorous
plant over the southern portion of the
spring wheat region. Seeding is
about finished over the southern por.
tions of Minnesota and North Dakota,
but has been delayed in the Red River
valley and Oregon, and that sown in
Washington is coming up slowly.
In the Southern states the oat crop
has made favorable progress and the
outlook is generally promising, al.
though heading shor, in some sections.
A general improvements is reported
from the Ohio valley and Middle At
lantic states. In the more northerly
section seeding continues under con-
ditions favorable for rapid germina.
