to Use Oil

Having decided TO adopt petroleum as
a fuel in the operation Of lts lines IN
Oregon, the Southern Pacific Company
has begun the erection at Dunsmulr,
Calf. and Ashland Of two enormous OIL
tanks. These tanks will be sbout l5O
feet high and will have a diameter OF
nearly so feet. They will have a capac-
ity sufficient for one years supply. The
oil will be procured from the petroleum
region of Southern California, expert
ments having demonstrated that this
product is cheaper fuel than wood
The adoption Of PETROLEUM as a Iuel by
the S. P. company will necessitate the
reconstruction Of all its engines operat-
ing on the divisions to be provided with
this fuel. The large storage tanks viii
be completed aud the use OF petroleum
as a fuel for railroad travel will b'
common in Oregon early next summer
Az the success Of this innovation in thu
matter Of fuel becomes known, oil tank
OF smaller capacity will eventually b.
established all along the company's Cal
ifornia. Oregon line.

Excepting Woolen Mills there are
few enterprises that disburse more
wages the year aroun than The J' uR-

is again spent by those receiving " in

Thousands OF dollars are brought to
the city from foreign advertising and
subscriptions from all over the state and
nation, and ell this money brought TO
10 Salem is put in circ Ilation here
through labor.
Many immigrants have come here as
the direct result OF reading THE JoUR-

county, but industries are running now

hore by lie efforts.
A newspaper isa source ol life and

A new, paper helps 70 build new
churches and assists every Legitimate

not for good always.
Every new business that is started is

AN IDEAL
MEDICINE
A New Discovery Which
Cures all Forms of Catarrh

The tablet is the ideal form in which
10 administer medicine, but uutil
recently no successful catarrh tablet had
ever been attempted. There is now,
however an excellent and palatable
remedy for catarrh in tablet form,
known as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and
sold by druggists, composed of the most
recent discoveries in medicine for cure
Of catarrh and results from their use
have been highly gratifying
The old time treatment Of catarrh was
in the form OF inhSlers, Washes, douches,
sprays, etc Later on internal remedies
we're used with greater success, but be-
ing in liquid or powder form were in
convenient to use and like all medicines
in liquid or powder form, lose their
medicinal properties when opened or
exposed to the air.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain
highly concentrated antiseptics, Bed
Gum. Blood Root. etc, which kill the
catarrh germs in the blood and mucous
membrane, and in this respect are
strictly scientific aud modern, becau'e
all authorities are now agreed that
oatarrh is a constitutional blood disease,
aud local applications can have only a
tranaitory effect.
The uso OF inhslers, douches and
sprays is nuisance and inconvenience
and can in no wise compare iayorably
with the same antiseptcs given in
tablet form internally, where they can
reach the stomach and blood and Kill
catarrh germs right whore they are pro-

A prominent lawyer and puulic speak
or OF Pittsburg says; 81 have bsen
troubled with catarrh OF the head and
throat for twelve years, In this climate
IL seems impossible 20 get rid OF it. The
continual dropping OF mucous from the
nose into the throat caused irritation
and hoarseness, seriously interfering
with my public speaking II took me
an hour or more Of coughing, gagglng
expectorating and sneezing every morn
ing before could settle down to work
aud this condition gradually brought on
ca'arrh OF the stomach, causing loss Of
appetite, poor digestion and foul
breath, which annoyed me exceedingly
My physician advised me 10 try Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets and took them for two
months and Was astonished 10 end how
quickly they cleared my head, throat
aud stomach aud have no hesitation
in recommending them, They are not
only pleasant to take, but they seem 10
get at the very root OF the trouble, be
cause since using them have no trace
OF catarrh.
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
at 30 cents for full sized package
They can be carried in the pocket and
used any time, aud as often as desired
since they contain no cocaine, mercury
or any other Injurious drug. 2-lS.l5
