Sick
Blood

Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at its best,
fullest in strength, least in
taste.

The Migrate

DID 1t ever occur to you the great
number Of ingrates you will meet on
your journey along LIES zig-zag
pike? Usually you will meet them
headed fire and brimstoneware going
down the grade as fast as the devil
can hustle them along Occasional
ly you will find them aspiring to
dizzy heights to which they are both
morally and mentally incapable of
attaining. Give them your hand
and help them along ard they will
turn, snake-like, and sting you. The
higher up they get the deeper will be
their sting. They haven't the slight
est conception of gratitude. Ere
quently you will meet the Migrate on
the level but he will be sure to have a
dull axe. Turn the grindstone for
him and he will cut you down, the
first time you take your eyes off Of
him.
OF all the selfish breeds the Migrate
is the most contemplate. He can
not see beyond his own shadow I'M
less it be the glitter of his neighbors
gold. He recognizes no Golden Rule
and he is unfamiliar with applied
christianity unless it is all applied
his way. He wants all but will give
nothing. Like the snake and other
reptiles the migrate abides in every
community, but he cannot bite one
person more than once for we are all
familiar with his sting. He is a pro-
duct of the mire and in the mire
should be permitted to remain until
he shows sincere desire to rise
above his environments and become
man unselfish and ungrateful
Cum berland Advocate.

It's program is revel of bright
minstrel ideas retaining the pleasing
traditions of "Old Plantation Days"
as well as the gaudy, dandified acts
of today and runs the entire gamut
of the best in vaudeville and min
strelsy. Every feature is new this
season, and the organization is the
best effort of it's enterprising man
agement. A special train of the
company's own Pullman cars are
used in its transportation and the
street parade which takes place at
'2:3O p. m. on the day of the COM
pany's arrival in this city, is one OF
the most pleasing spectacles one
would wish to witness, as it intro
duces new features and many of
them. Watch and wait for the big
event, June 3rd at the Opera House.

Some Of the Party Who Went West
Will Remain.
THE OTHERS HAVE RETURNED
Most of the Two Parties Took Up Timber
Claims In Oregon and are Back
Home.-What Some Of Them
Think of 1T.

The two parties that went out
west and took up timber claims
have returned with the exception Of
few who will remain in Oregon
and homestead their lands. The lat
ter include liver Arntson, Henry
Olson, Ole Sherley, John Carlson.
Martin Saultness, A. Holt, O. O.
Lund, D. R. Warner, Ole Hovde, G.
Rockstad. A. Brown, J. DukeIow.
There were two parties went from
here to Oregon. Both parties re-
NAMED together and one party went
in one direction from Grants Pass,
while the other party took a differ
ent direction. They all secured very
good claims, and most Of them figure
that they have from six to ten mil
lion feet Of timber. The timber is
mostly all fir, but contains also some
sugar pine and cedar. One of the
party who has returned says that
the sugar pine of Oregon is the
finest class of timber in the west.
It is, however, very expensive and
hard to handle, and for that reason
the fir is the popular timber. In the
vicinity of Grants Pass, where the
Missionaries have taken claims,
there is no numbering to speak of.
Only few portable saw mills are in
operation, while the streams have
never known what it was to have a
log drive. The fir tcee is being used
in all classes of tie building trade,
but our informant says that the
numbering industry has not started
in the vicinity of the claims they
have taken. One OF the best in
formed of the men who went west
saws that in his opinion man who
has not the money at hand to with
draw from circulation, and that he
will not need for some years, ought
not to 90 west for timber claim.
When the Oregon fir will come into
market is too deep question to de-
eide. The railroad companies have
withdrawn their land from market,
and people are very curious 30 know
what significance this will have. At
present there is no value attached to
| the fir, and while the claims may be
all right, and no doubt will be valua-
BILE some day-yet the person VINO
takes one of these claims ought to
do so with the unders landing that
he may have to wait a very long
| time before getting good returns for
his investment. There has not been
as mush enthusiasm as one might ex-
pect from those who have staked
their chances in the western lands
They do not feel that they have any
hope of immediate returns, but be-
lieye that if they live long enough
they will be all right.

MESSAGES ACROSS THE OCEAN.
Marconi's Dispatches Cover Distance
of Over 1000 Miles,. s.I.

New York, March 3.s-The most amaz,
ing Triumph which wireless telegraphy
has Yet achleted was told, VIXEN the
steamer Philadelphi2 arrived with the
inventor Marconi aboard; hes 3iavspk'
maintained communication, with the
Cornwall signal station threiIghodt
nearly ALI of tile 3yOO0-mile Journey
from Cherbourg to New York.
Captain A. Il. Mills master of, tile
Philadelphia. bears witness 80 the fact
that six messages We're received during
the first four days of the run. these he
ing when the steamship was go miles
distant from Poldhu. the Alarconi sig.
nal station: and emitting when the YES
sci was 2,O09 miles from that point.
And the other officers of ship attest
with their signatures the accuracy of
this statement. aH. -r.ft -...... -n
Mr.. Marconi took these precautions
that the skeptical might be convinced.
The young inventor is very proud OF
the tape bearing the "S'' signal, which
was received when 2.O93 miles distant
from the station, and which is siMed
and certified by Captain Mills and
Chief officer Marsden. -ir
The first of the messages was recelv"
ed at n distance of $50 miles on Febru'
airy 23d. The signal only was received
February Goth. over 2O99 miles of sea.
All the messages We're one way-all
from the station to the ship.:' Mr.. Mar
conf explained this by saying that
while the apparatus Installed In the
Philadelphia admitted at. the receipt ef
messages. it was not sufficient ". power
full to send them such a distance as the
more powerful CORNWALL station ac-
complished. So. fga.I
II believe" said Mr. Marconi quietly,
"that the distnIlce~at. which Il wireless
message may be sent depends only on
the power of the sending station. I
think it possible to send message en-
t1rcly around the wdrf1'... a., -. 8
