Suicide Prevented.

The startling announcement that a
preventive of suicide has been discov-
cred will interest many. A run down
system or dependency invariably
precede suicide and some thing has
been found that will prevent this con-
dition which makes suicide likely. AT
the first thought of self destruction
take Electric Bitters. 1t being great
tonic and nervine will strengthen the
nerves and build up the system. It's
also great stomach, liver and kidney

Uncle Sam Wants Smart YOUNG Mem

The Civil Service Commission has
officially announced Examinations for
this fall to be held in every state.
Perhaps not since the inauguration of
the Civil Service has there been so
many appointments made in the var
ious departments of the service as
during the past year and the good
work is still going on; particularly is
this true in the Railway Mail, one of
the best paying positions coming I'M
der the civil service rules. The pay
is good from the start with fine oppor-
tunities for promotion. Full particu-
lars may be secured by addressing the
Interstate Schools, Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. Their students receive the high
est grades and consequently the first
appointments. Their hundreds of
students now in the service testify to
the excellence of their work. 3lw4*

SIX RoB A CAR.
Daring tIOld-Up in Outskirts Of Portland
One Man Wounded.

-One wan WOunucus
Portland, July .-Robbing Fred
Day, whom they mortslly wounded
with a needless shot, taking 5000 in
money, watches anud jeweIry from 40
passengers on a Sellwood car, then rob
bing lone pedestrian as they left the
scene, six desperate highwaymen last
night made their escape and now bid
defiance to the police.
On the crossing of the Southern Paci
fic at East Eleventh and Division
streets, but half mile from the busi-
ness center OF East Portland, the hold
up was committed few minutes before
midnight.
Daring and cold blooded, the high
waymen boarded an out bound car at
:45, shot Fred Day in the back with
out provecatlon, and as he fell in their
arms apparently lifeless, held him up
until they could rifle his pockets. then
let him drop in a pool of his own blood
and turned their attention to the rest
of the passengers.
At least 40 people we're on the car,
and every passenger was robbed of
money and jewelry. Rings were jerked
violently from women's fingers, and
watches snatched quickly and thrust
into the pockets Of the highwaymen.
Nor did this content them. Not
nervous in the least over their bloody
deed, they stopped in their flight long
enough to hold up and rob o. N. Bitt-
ner on Milwaukee street.

cLAckAmAs FIFTY YEARS 400.
Old Records dive interesting Figures on
Wages and Assessments.

In rummaging about his Office a few
days ago County Clerk Sleight un.
earthed some official records that con.
tain some interesting statistics with
reference to Clackamas county in the
early SOS. They consist of some statis-
ties compiled by Joseph t. Meek. who
was then territorial marshal for Clack-
amas county in June, 1850. In that
year the assessable value of property
in this county was 81 1,O20,S44, classi-
fed as follows Real estate, $780,
ESQ: personal. s18S,694 The schedule
Of wages paid atstbat time was re-
markable. The average monthly
wage to farm hands, including board,
was $50; the average wages paid day
laborers with board was 81, with
out board Sc; average daily wages
for carpenters, S12; board per week
for laboring men cost $8.
There were published in the county
at that time two weekly papers, name
ly, Oregon Spectator, Territorial; and
Western Star, Multnomah. An idea
of the value and profit in the lumber
business at that early date may be
gathered from the statistics which
show that Benjamin Simpson from
400 logs, for which he paid SO each,
100000 feet Of lumber,
which had salable value Of SIS per
thousand.
