world; to secure ice-free ports not
only for her commerce but her navy
also, from whence she might assert
her might as marine power. 1t is
true, this overgrown bear of the
north has never fought a sea fight of
any Importance in which she came
out victorious. During the Crimean
war her war ships were scuttled as
they lay at anchor at Sebastopol, to
prevent them falling into the hands
of the enemy. The same motive
that led to the burning of Moscow,
impelled the Muscovite sailors to de-
stroy their own vessels rather than
risk battle with the enemy's fleet.
And it is more than probable that
they will do the same at Port Arthur
when the supreme moment arrives.
In the brief space of few weeks the
present war in the orient has
brought the civilized world face to
face with the fact that Japan is a
naval power that must hereafter be
reckoned with in the. administration
of the worlds affairs. Her sailors
are as brave and skillful as those of
any nation.
The operations on land 10 this con-
f1ict between the despotism of the
west as represented by the Cossack
hordes, and the advancement of the
east as exemplified by the forces of
Japan, have been equally surprising.
In every onset the soldiers of Japan
have been more than a match for
their burly foes. Russian prestige
has been humbled in the dust, and
the humiliation is more keenly felt
for the reason that it has been ad-
ministered by nation of pigmies
that they were won't to look upon
with contempt. While the Russians
have been playing at war by carting
their sacred images to the war zone
as omens of good, and at the same
time sending misfit shells and doc
tored powder for their artillery, and
worthless foodstuffs for their SOL
diers, the Japs, thoroughly equipped
in every respect, and ably officered,
have driven their antagonists into
the heart of Manchuria, and bottled
up the Port Arthur garrison of
10000 men so completely that the
fall of that stronghold is inevitable.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

THE RAILROAD PROJECT
THE MOUNTAINS.

The talk of a railroad to tap the
timber resources 80 miles east of the
mineral belt has somewhat subsided,
for what reason we are unable to ex-
plain. A correspondent of the east
ern section writes US that the report
is abroad in that region that there
is not timber enough to Justify the
enterprise. Whether by this is
meant that the timber area is too
limited, or the probable demand for
lumber is insufficient to warrant the
expense of building the road, we do
not know. We presume, however,
that the doubt applies to the guam
tity OF standing timber, rather than
to the market for the manufactured
lumber, Whether this vital point
has been definitely decided by COM
petent authority, or whether it is
merely vague rumor we cannot say.
The average man is hardly able to
form a correct opinion on such
question. It takes one we'll versed
in the traffic business to properly
gauge the situation If after prac-
tical survey of the territory, and
all the resources that would con-
tribute to the main tenance of rail
road, the conclusion is reached that
the resources are insufficient, there
would be nothing left to do but to
submit, and develop the umquestion-
able sources of wealth that lie in our
upper country in other ways. 1t
may be true that the timber is at
present the main source of support
for railroad. 1t is calculated that
the mines of Jackson and Sutter
Creek consume from 80, 600 to 40, 600
timbers per year. The freighting
of these logs to the mines even by
rail would mean a revenue of be-
tween $40, 900 and 5000 yearly, in
addition to this the wood for fuel
would amount to SIS, 900, that is as
suming that oil would be displaced
as fuel at the mines by the intro
duction of a railroad. Besides this
there is the lumber interest, the
traffic in shakes, spiling and cord
wood, which might safely be relied
upon to bring up the aggregate
revenue from timber and wood to
fully $1,000 per year.
Besides these interests there are
many other undeveloped resources
in that section, both agricultural
and mineral, which would surely
grow rapidly under the stimulus of
railroad facilities. We are aware
that the territory tributary to the
proposed railroad would be confined
to narrow stretch of country be-
tween the Mokelumne river on the
south and the Costumes river on the
north, and extending to a point 40
miles above the mother lode. Beyond
that point the railroad could not
hope to command much business
from the present outlook. Inas-
much as there is much depending
upon this talked-of railroad, it is
hoped that the matter will not be
allowed to drop until it has been
thoroughly sifted. The salvation of
large part of Amador county hangs
upon it. Without this stimulus that
region is languishing, and will con-
tinue to languish. With a railroad
it would revive with newness of life.

For hundred years or more Witch
Hazel has been recognized as super
ior remedy, but it remained for E. c.
Dewitt & Co. of Chicago, to discover
how to combine the virtues of Witch
Hazel with other antiseptics. in the
form of salve. DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve is the best salve in the world for
sores, cuts, burns, bruises and piles.
The high standing of this salve has
given rise to counterfeits, and the public
is advised to look for the name ''De-
Witt" on the package, and accept no
other. Sold by City Pharmacy.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..
Green's reliable remedies at D. A.

large areas of ground which are often
mistaken for single plantations. This

tracts are very often owned by hum

that each individual owner may cult
