John Kinney of Leland, Josephine
county Or, who has large contract to
furnish cord wood to the Southern Pa
cific railroad, was in Portland the 9th
err day, says The Morning Oregonian.
The company, he said, has built spur
upon which to receive the wood, and
the price agreed on is $275 per cord
piled alongside the spur. He has had
good deal of trouble with the labor
problem, but has solved it lately by
hiring 125 Japs in Portland. These
Japs are paid S1.25 per cord. and they
work hard 80 days in the month, never
resting even on Sunday. They are out
early and late and thus are enabled to
make pretty good wages. One pair of
Japs In particular pile up five cords ev-
cry day. which amounts to 1925 for
the two. Others. however. do not put
up over a cord apiece. White men are
the best workers while they are at 1t,
but they like to quit and go hunting
every few days, so, on the whole, do not
put up many cords. Whites and Japs
get the same price.

rheumatism

Rheumatic pains are the cries Of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation Of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain-
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.
Mrs. James Keli, of 7o7 Ninth street, N. f.,
Washington, d. C.. writes as follows: "A few
months ago had an attack of Sciatic Rheuma.
