RrutallY Tortured .

A case came to light that for persist
ent and unmerciful torture has perhaps
never been equaled. Joe Golobick Of
Colusa, Calif., writes: "For Is years /
endured insufferable pain from Rheu-
matism and nothing relieved me though
| tried everything known. / came
across Electric Bitters and it's the great
est medicine on earth for that trouble.
A few bottles completely relieved and
cured me-" Just as good for liver and
kidney troubles. Only SOC. Satisfac-
ton guaranteed by VIM. Mcbride, drug

"It is to be hoped that the outcome of

Here in Umatilla county there is
nothing ''to be hoped" for as to sure
crop production, The crop, as ever be-
fore, is here as usual, and the only ques-
tion is TO save it in proper shape. Forty
and fifty bushel yields in the vicinity of
Athena are the rule this year and not
the exception.

No Broken Down Politicians on the
Panama Canal commission-Pro.
ject Will Take Ten Years.

Not even the deep interest that Is
felt in the eastern war has obscured
the importance OF the weeks deyel-
opmcuts IN connection with the con
struction of the Panama canal. lmme-
diatcly upon the ratification of the
treaty with the republic OF Panama,
the president began the selection OF
the canal commission. whose appoint
ment is authorized by the Spooner
act. The selections were made as
promptly as possible and the mem
bership of the commission leaves no
room for criticism.
For two years a number OF played
out politicians have hoped for a ref
uge from the cold storms Of adver
sity by getting seats on the Panama
canal commission which is to con
struct the ditch. The president has
no sympathy with such views, and
| all aspirauts OF that sort are now ~
ing outside the breastworks. Every
man on the commission is an expert
engineer. the best the country affords
and this is altogether proper.
It is well known that the construc
| ton of the Bohio dam involves the
most novel and intricate problems
which engineers have ever been call
cd upon tn face. As the canal Is &c
! be- elevated by locks in the center IL
more than 81 feet above the sea lev.
81. il is necessary 10 have some large
and constant water supply. OF the
ditch would soon run dry. This Is &c
be furnished by damming rivers and
making a great lake on top Of the
level which is 10 feed the canal eacf
way. This dam will so deeper into
the earth than any which has eycl
been constructed and calls for the
most expert oversight. 1t is the cru>
of the whole canal. one which some
engineers say will not be successfully
overcome, and thnt in the end the
canal must 90 10 the sea level.
The personnel OF the commission
is such that il insures the most OK
pert construction. Outside the army
and navy members. every man Oh
the commission is Obliged to make
sacrifices To take a place which pays
n meager salary and involves tremep
dous responsibilities. Nevertheless
the call of duty and the honor of par
ticipating in such an enormous monu
ment of human skill are such that M
mar has refused who could hOnorab
ly accept. We may expect an i'm
mense mount of history in the on
cheering line to be made very soon
and it Is going to be very interest

THE TRUTH ALWAYS.

When you are in doubt tell
the truth" It was an expert
enced old diplomat who said this
to beginner N the work. It
may pass in some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
ception are often profitable so
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and reputa-
ton that is always worth twen-
ty shillings to the pound every-
where your goods are offered for
sale. We are able modestly to
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
rests. The people have discov-
cred that this medicine is exact
~ what it is said to be, and
that it does what we have al
ways declared it will do. It's ma
ture also has been frankly made
known. It is palatable as honey
and contains all the nutritive and
curative properties of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, extracted by us from
fresh cod livers, combined with
the Compound Syrup of Hypo-
phosphites and the Extracts of
Malt and Wild Cherry. A COM
bination of supreme excellence
and medicinal merit. Nothing
has been so successful in Ane-
mia, Scrofula, Bronchitis, Infu-
enza, Loss of Flesh and VAST
ing Diseases, Weakness and Low
Nervous Tone, and all com
plants caused by Impure Blood.
DIR. Austin D. Irvine, of Canada.
says: Il have used it in cases
where cod liver oil was indica-
ted but could not be taken by
the patient, and the results fol-
lowing were very gratifying" It
cannot deceive or disappoint you,
is effective from the first dose
and comes to the rescue of those
who have received no benefit
from any other treatment. It
represents the dawn of progress.
