YOU CANNOT CURE PILES
BY Internal Remedies.

The only sure way to cure every form
of piles is to use a remedy like the
Pyramid Pile Cure which Is applied d.
rectly to the parts affected and its Won
derful healing effects are apparent from
the first application because the medic
inal properties are rapidly absorbed by
tissues and sensitive membranes Of the
rectuu and the cure is made speedily
and almost before the patient is aware
Of it every trace of piles has left him.
This is one of the reasons why the
Pyramid Pile Cure has been SO uniform
" successful It is applied directly just
where it is needed and where it will do
the most good Not by the roundab bout
way of the stomach nor the harsh bar
barous methods of various surgical OPP
erations and so-called systems.
Direct application to the seat OF dis
ease is the only rational way, and this IS
fully accomplished by the Pyramid Pile
Cure
II the voluntary testimony of thou
sands who have tried this remedy is
worth anything then no sufferer has any
excuse for longer delaying in giving it a
fair trial, knowing that when you do so

A BICYCLE DEVICE.
Invention Which Increases Comfort
and Pleasure.

The device known as the Morrow
Coaster and Brake was put on the mar
ket by the Eclipse Bicycle company, q
concern that for ten years had made
the bicycle carrying its name, and
which had been sold extensively all over
the world. The large number of $4,000
brakes have been sold. The factory has
a capacity of more than 1000 brakes
per day, which are going to cyclists in
all parts of the civilized world. The
advantage Of this well known device is
that a cyclist always has his or her
mount under control, and when going
down a slight incline or hill, the feet
can rest perfectly still on the pedals.
and in case the speed is too much ac-

els of oats. He also raised 200 sacks
OF potatoes, 14O sacks OF onions, three
tons of cabbages and other vegetables,
including $G4 worth OF melons sold to
Colfax citizens. He sold $3.50 worth
OF hogs, 1924 worth OF milk, $?lO worth
of calves and $40 worth of pears.
There are now on the farm about GO

which, in December, will dispatch
the big steamship American from

with cargo for New York direct. The
American will be the first steamship
to take cargo from Puget sound to
New York city. Between San Fran

freight is shipped by sea, but none
has been shipped from Tacoma direct.
A cargo of salmon of 1000 tons will
be taken as a beginning.

To Cut Tall Timber.

Articles incorporating railroad
company to operate in the timber in
the western part of Polk county and
Lincoln county, Oregon, have been
filed with the county clerk in Multno-
nah county and with the secretary of
state at Salem. The authorized cap
ital is 100000, and the corporate
name is Salem, Falls City & Western
Railway Company. The articles re-
cite that the object is to acquire, con-
struct and equip railroad, telephone
and telegraph ON route to be desig-
mated later between Salem, in Marion
county, and the mouth of the Siletz
river, in LicoIn county. This would
be over a distance of about Is miles,
most of which would be through val
liable timber. The main object of
this corporation is to provi'I an out
let for the fine timber on the hills
back of Falls City. The intention is
to extend the new line as the saw
mills shall eat into the timber, cross
ing the coast range and penetrating
the Siletz country. 1t will be a
standard gauge railroad.

lsthmjan Canal Commission.

Washington. Nov. 1.-THE isthmian
canal commission will meet next Tues
day to add the finishing touches to its
report. 1t can be stated on authority
that the commission has not reported
up to this time, in favor of either the
Nicaraguan or of the Panama project.
Consequently the question has not
figured before the cabinet, and the
administration has not expressed q
preference for either route. 1t is expected
that the commission will not undertake
to either accept or reject the proposition
of President Hutin. looking to the acqui-
sition by this government of the Panama
Canal Company concessions. However,
it will lay the proposition before the
president and congress.

DEATH RATE ENORMOUS.
London Daily News Reviews Concentration
Camps In South Africa.

London, Nov. 1O.-The Daily News
yesterday exhaustively surveyed the con-
centration camps in South Africa with
the following conclusion:
"The truth is that the death rate in
the camps is incomparably worse than
anything Africa or Asia can show. There
is nothing to match it even in the NOR
tally figures of the Indian famines,
where cholera and other epidemics have
to be commended with"
Statistics are produced in proof OF this
assertion.
The governments advertisements for
teachers for the camp children, setting
forth "that the term of employment will
be one year," is prominently displayed
as evidence thai the authorities have no
intention of impeding "the wholesale
destruction of human life"
The Daily News urges all humane men
not to wait for official reports, but to in
sist con the camps being broken up and
the people distributed among their
friends or removed to districts where a
fresh attempt can be made under compe-
tent organization and with some regard

Millions in Tale.

A recent incorporation is the OAR
rington Tale Company, that has been
formed for the purpose Of opening up
and developing five full sized tale
claims located in the White Horse
mining district, about three miles
from the town of Darlington, Wash.
The surface showings are particularly
good. with indications of large de-
post of pure tale. Commercial tale
is used in the manufacture of paper,
of soap and of different lubricating
materials. 1t is also used in dressing
fine leather for shoes, gloves and book
binding. Toilet preparations, such
as face powder, glove powder, foot
powder, have for their basis pure tale.
The value OF crude tale, as it is quar-
ried from the mine, ranges from So to
$50 per ton.
