100000 FOR CHARITY.

A fortune Of 81, 100000 was recently
left to charitable institution in one
OF our Eastern cities, and while much
good can be accomplished by the care
ful expenditure Of this sum OF money,
there Is another agency which deserv-
es mention because of the good 1t has
done and the suffering 1t has relieved
during the past 80 years, ana that
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. No
other medicine can take its place as
a cure for stomach, liver and kidney
troubles, such as headache, belching,
heartburn. indigestion, dyspepsia, con-
stipation or biliousness. We would
therefore urge YOU to give II q trial.
The genuine must have our private
stamp over the neck Of the bottle. Do
not accept q substitute.

ENGINEERS REPORT
ATMEETISG WITH CITIZENS
MUCH INFORMATION
OBTAINED.
Experts Are Reticent But Au-
thOrities Determined TO
Make Speedy InI-
prOyements.

Major William l.. Marshal. chief Of
the corps Of engineers who visited the
Columbia river bar on Friday, presid
ed at public meeting Of portlanders
on Saturday afternoon to hear the cit
liens express their views on the sub
ject.
The engineers gave no intlmation as
to what should be done or what REM
edles they intended to advise. The
Oregonian says:
They were extremely guarded IN
their replies. II they dropped any hint
that would index their opinions, 1t
was that they apprehended that the
bar was too rough for an ocean
dredge, and that the currents should
be confined to narrower limits than
at present. As TO whether tho rem.
edy should be the extension OF the
present jetty or creation Of q new
jctty from Cape Disappointment their
answers were neutral The board
looked upon the problem OF the bar
as one of engineering whose solution
was entirely feasible.
When referring TO ocean dredging
and having listened to description
OF the huge dredger at the mouth Of
the Mersey, on which the Liverpool
docks are bullt,the chairman said:
"'At the places where ocean dredg-
ing Is carried on successfully there
is not the wide course nor roughness
that there are at the Tnouth of the
Columbia. You have a channel eight
miles and q feet deep. 1t Is Of
almost uniform de1th. In New York
harbor dradger does well. but in
the three years | have been there |
have never seen so much disturbance
as on the Columbia bar yesterday
when we visited the mouth Of the
river and 1t was called smooth bar
too The board is Of the opinion that
the bar is the obstacle and not the
channel. We are very much pleased
to find out how much has been done
by Portland and We shall be glad to
help a city that has helped itself so
much
"At the conclusion of the meeting
the engineers received vote of
thanks"

NOW LOOK OUT!

''Take care of yourself" say our friends.
"I'll try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bow1ed out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
infammations and COMPOSITIONS, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have a cold on the chest, place a Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. If you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip (back and chest) and all sim
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.
Get the genuine. All druggists, or we will
prepay postage on any number ordered in
the United States on receipt of Csc. each.

The following is one of the stories
told about Eugene Field:
There were visitors in prospect one
afternoon in the Field household and
a strike in the culinary department.
Mischief was at flood tide, and Mrs.
Field was vainly endeavOring to be
everywhere at once, when the man Of
'sharps and fats appeared in the
kitchen doorway with folio in his
hand.
ooh, won't you watch those pies for
me while l run upstairs an instant?
his wife exclaimed. "Be sure not to
let the meringue scorch-it would ruin
them; you'd better give me that book
or they'll be burned to a crisp" With
mock meekness Mr. Field allowed her
to carry off his treasure. On returning
she was Mortified to find the oven door
wide open and the rich, fluffy meringue
fiat, tough and leatherlike.
They're ruinedw she exclaimed III
dismay. "Why didn't you keep the
oven door shut?"
'Keep the door shut" Mr.. Field
repeated in very genuine amazement.
''Why, you told me to watch them ev-
cry instant, and I'd like to know how
I could do that with the oven door
shutv'-New York Times.

Cambridge.

We understand that the tobacco ware
house will open up in this village and do
asserting and packing of farmers crops
at cent per pound, the growers furnish
ing cases.
The first shovel of dirt on the extern
sion of the Cambridge railroad to Rock
dale was turned on Tuesday morning
when men were set to work ditching on
the marsh along the sides of the route.
1t is not expected that much will be
done until spring opens up, aside from
driving the spiles for the bridges and do
ing a little ditching where the ground is
so soft that it will not bear up teams.
Sixty five years ago Miss Karen Berg,
then young lady of nineteen, left her
parental home to seek employment in
the city of Christiana, Norway, about
one hundred miles distant from the place
where she was born and reared. She re-
turned home the following year for a
short visit and that was the last time
she saw her father, mother, brother and
sisters, with the exception of the oldest
sister, who visited her ten years later
after she was united in marriage to Hans
Olson. In 1852 Mr. and Mrs Olson emf
grated to this country and during all
these years Mrs Olson has not heard
from any of her brothers or sisters, al
though several attempts have been made
to locate them. and long ago she gave
them up as lost to her forever. About
three weeks ago her husband died, and
in the publishing of his obituary notice
in the several Norwegian papers in this
country, sister of Mrs Olson accident
ally read of the death, and for the first
time in IS years learned that her sister
was alive and resided in Cambridge, Wis.
Last week a letter was received by Mrs
Olson, who is now IS years old and very
feeble, from her brothers son, Andrew
Field, of Wiota, Lafayette county, Wis,
and Monday he visited this village and
confirmed the report that his father who
is alive and resides on the old homestead
in Norway, and Mrs Hans Olson of this
village, and her youngest sister, now so
years old and very feeble, residing about
three miles from Wiota, were brother
and sisters. It seems rather strange that
two sisters could reside for so many
years within forty miles of each other
and yet not know of each others where
abOuts.
