From many recent inquiries respecting
"Viavi" we have just completed most
rigid analysis and examination of this
remedy, the reports of our medical ex-
perts showing it to be safe, sure and re-
liable, emphatically home remedy or
one that can be employed without the
necessity of calling in physician. From
thousands of cases cured by Viavi with
out failure, it is undoubtedly true that
the Viavi method of treatment is thor
oughly safe and reliable one. We are so
well assured of the virtues of Viavi that
we recognizes no other remedy of like

Welcome the Pheasants.

Ten pairs of Chinese pheasants have
been turned loose at the following points
in and near Godendale: AT Golden's
meadow. inside the city limits; at the
Elan Snipes homestead. three miles
down the Little Klickitat, and at the old
Alexander place on the Yakima road, a
point few miles above Goldendale.
The cost OF these birds to the Rod and
Gun Club of Goldendale was So so per
pair, delivered at Goldendale, and they
were shipped from near Albany, Or.
DR.. R. E. Stewart, of Goldendale, was
the prime mover In the introduction of
the game birds into Klickitat county 1t
has been arranged and understood with
the Klickitst settlers that the new birds
will be protected from destruction with.
out the aid of the Washington law now
in vogue. 1t is supposed that the phess-
ants will wander into the spurs of the
Simcoe mountains in summer and in win
ter drop down on the sheltered places OF
the Big Klickitat river and possibly
some may wander to the Yakima river
and to the banks of the Columbia. The
little boys and girls, as we'll as the
other people in and about Goldendale,
have been on the alert to see that no
harm comes to the birds.-The Dalles
Chronicle.

DELAGOA BAY.
A Bit of History Tint Is Interesting
ut This Time Because Of the
Transvaal War.

Delagoa bay was discovered by
Easco de CANA in 1902, and explored
40 years later by Portuguese officer
named Capt. Lorenzo Marquee. Until
the beginning of the present century
Portus al exercised a more or less nom
inal sovereignty over the bay as well
as over the entire coast line of Africa,
but had completely abandoned its
posts and trading stations on the east
coast when in 1923 Capt. Cuniffe-
Owen, of the royal navy, obtained
from native chiefs a cession of Della
goa bay to Great Britain. England
founded a town on the bay, to which
was given the name of Bombay, and
in 1867 Portugal refounded Immediate
~ opposite the town of Lorenzo Mar
quez, on the ruins of the old-time
trading station of that name. In 1860
the Portuguese concluded a CONNER
cial treaty with the South African re-
public. and this brought to an acute
stage the dispute as to the ownership
OF Delagoa bay. The question was re-
ferred to the arbitration of the presi-
dent of the French republic, the Eng
lish resting their case on the conces-
sions obtained by Capt. Cunliffe-Owen.
In 1876 Marshal Mac Mahon, then chief
magistrate OF France. gave an award
il favor of Portugal, which was loyal
~ accepted by England. an agreement,
however, being concluded between the
two nations, according to which Eng
land secured from Portugal a prefer
entail right to all of her territory
south of the Zambesi, that is to say
including Delagoa bay.
For time one heard but little of
Delagoa bay. and then the place was
once more brought on the tapis by
the conflict which arose in connection
with the railroad, now running from
Lorenzo Marquee to Pretoria. The
Transyaal portion of the line was built
Ivy German capitalists. while the 40
miles of Portuguese territory We're
constructed by an American conces-
sionaire, Col. McMurdo, with the help
of English capital. Before the line
had been opened very long Col. Me
Murdo suddenly died. and the Portu-
guess government look uuNdll ldGc
thereof to cancel his concessions on
the ground that the McMnrdo COM
pany had not carried out all its en-
gagements. Both the United States
and the English governments there
upon interviewed, and II years ago
II was agreed to submit to arbitra-
tion the question rs TO the amount Of
compensation due by the Portuguese
government to the McMurdo-Anglo-
American company for the seizure Of
the line. the arbitrators being selected

Bows and sashes.

Dark red linens are cut with the loose
French blouse to show guimpe Of ac-
Gordon plated ivory satin and finished
at the neck with applied guipure. Bows
of ribbon on the shoulders have re-
turned with the guimpes. These bows
are made with many loops and look
like rosette. Another innovation is
trimmed sashes. Ribbon or muslin,
they tie at the back in small bow, and
the ends fall to the lem of the gown.
Each side is trimmed with narrow lace
rufiles, or fine plaitings of Swiss or
muslin. This is one of the prettiest
fashions of the season, and will be re-
joiced in by youthful looking matrons.
