Bladder troubles most always result from

the slow process of time have

lates the following which proves
that such is the case:
The sinking of a shaft to the
depth of about thirty feet for a
hydraulic elevator in the store of
S. E. Young & Son has brought
to the surface some remarkable
specimens of the strange things
down in the earth. At the depth
of 26 feet we'll preserved log

Oh boring through the leg a SUBJ
stance was found that locked

Yesterday a quantity of this SUBJ
stance which was a beautiful
blue color, was taken cut. Then
a strata Of black sand was reach
ed which gave evidence of being
gold bearing. To cap the eli
max, at the lowest depth reach
ed, the water which came out
had a decidedly ely appearance,
indicating that genuine gusher
might be tapped by beriHg deep

with any sort Of an Imagination
could have been kept busy dur
ing the past few days prospect
ing the possible values of the
product of the shaft.
The finding of a Log at the
depth of nearly 80 feet would Ia
dieate that the foundation upon
which Albany stands was at one
time the old river bed, and that
the process of coal making is
going on.

Has a Good Future.

A correspondent of the Home
stead has the following words Of
praise to effer as the result of a
craise through Lincoln county:
While going up one Of the lit
tie valleys the gentleman accom-
panying me, in passing a farm,
said that FIVE years age the farm
was purchased for 81, 900, the
purchaser paying $500 dewn ana
giving his note for the balance.
The purchaser got some eews, a
few pens Of Black Leghern
chickens and went to work.
Every Saturday he, goes to Te-
ledo, where he dispeses Of his
batter and eggs-and his egg
basket is full of nice, fresh, clean
eggs. The mortgage is new
paid off and the proprietor Is the
happy possessor of a good farm
which he can call his own.
These valleys are very rich
and there are many of them in
Lineeln ceunty. One party said
he sowed an acre of clover in the
spring and cut tive tons Of hay
that fall. He claims that by ac-
tual test the sugar beets raised
in that county are richer In sugar
than these raised Ia Eastern Ore
aen. He claims that the tide
laad when dyked is rioh enough
to raise almess anything. This
esunty is rapidly developing and
Is destined to be eae of the rich
est in the state, especially will
this be true when the dairy and
the timber industries are fully
developed. There are maay or
ehards, most Of thea being
small, but the. trees look healthy
and SEEM to be less subject te
disease than in some other parts
of the state.

Think it Over.

Which is better, to buy your pianos
and organs of an agent who represents
the factories where they are made, or of
one who only represents San Francisco
and Portland iebbing houses? Is it
welth while to pay an additional profit
to city middlemen for the sake of getting
goods which have passed through their
hands, with double freight charges
added to other needless costs? Would
net the best plan be to have all your
money count on the value OF the instru-
ment itself? We think so, and for this
reason import all planes and organs
direct from the factery, depend on quick
sales and small profits and thus give you
a high grade Instrument at moderate
price. All kinds of small instruments
such as guitars, violins, mandolins, etc.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine IL Che
civilized world. Your mother and
grandnothers never thought of
using anything else for indigestion
or biliousness. Doctors we're scarce
and they seldom heard of appsn-
dicitis, nervous prostrasion or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to cleanse out the systsm
and stop fermentation of uadi-
gsstsd foed, regulate the action Of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action Of the systsna, and
that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and
ether aches. Yeu only need 3 few

ton asking the court to declare

igable highway for the floating

tor the improvement and use of
the same, and granting to said
parties certain rights thereon.

when he was mustered cut and
re.en1isted in the One Hundredth
Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry,
and served until July, 1865, when
he was again mustered out.
After the war he spent two
years more pursuing his studies
in college, and again took up the
work of teaching.

den, of this city. Together they
came to Oregon in 1874, and
settled in Corvallis, where he
taught one year in the old lower

year he was given a chair in the
State Agricultural College, which
