Interest in the Jalisco land coloniz-
alton scheme was greatly revived to-
day when w. ID. Hansford received a
letter from II. e. Bickers. who has
been in Jalisco for some time and who
has thoroughly investigated the coun-
try Following are extracts from the
letter, much of which was of per-
sonal nature and therefore not inter-
esting to the public:
Jalisco. Mexico July 90. 1906.
w. d. Hansford.
Pendleton. Oregon.
Dear Friend Hansford: After so
long time | have reached the famous
city of Jalisco. and have had time to
make considerable investigation of the
surroundings.
The Pan-American company went
into the scheme to make money, and
no doubt they did make some money,
although they fell far short of their
expectations, as land advanced in price
so rapidly before they secured enough
to cover all their contracts that they
thus did not make as much as though
they had paid the low price in the
early stage of the settlement here.
The character of the land. climate
and health here is about the same as
sent out by the company in their cir
cular letters. The distance from the
railroad to the harbor is about 10
miles, but the land Is situated beauti-
fully and is very productive.
There is no doubt whatever that
two crops per year will grow here.
The land is rich, and black and will
produce anything sown in it.
Business methods are crude and an
tiquated here. Merchants follow the
loose Mexican ways, and alert. ener-
getic Americans with some money can
make an enormous profit by being
business-like and prompt.
American goods are very high and
hard TO get. l paid S2.25 Mexican for
a bar OF common American laundry
soap that sells for % cents in Pendle-
toni and American peaches are worth
$3.50 per can. Mexican. or about S1.20
gold. other goods are sold at proper
tionately high prices.
There are excellent opportunities
here for men with from $4,000 to
$4,000 in cash to invest. Grants of
land and old tracts that have been
held by old Mexican families are on
the market and a man can secure bar
gains here with a little capital.
A merchant with 100000 here can
double his money in a year, by being
alert and energetic. It is one of the
most promising fields for investment
that 1 know of anywhere. but 1t is no
place for n man with no money.
Yours truly, II. E. BICKERS.

Salmon Pack Light,

The report OF the fish commissioner
of Washington says: THE catches of
fish now from day to day are very
large and there is every indication OF
big pack. 1t will not reach that OF
four years ago, but believe the cam
nerymen viii make as much money
out of 1t as they would out of a larger
pack The price is so largely deter
mined by the size of the pack that
the high price received for smaller
packing may net canning companies
as much profit, though not as great
an income, as lower one for a larger
pack, Four years ago, the season OF
the last big run, the pack amounted
to 100000 cases. This season II will
not exceed 500 600 or 900. 900 cases"

electricity and the atoms Of the medium
unite and at the same speed pass on
together thru the medium or whatever
lies beyond.
BY accident he discovered a germi-
eide that kills tubercule bacilli, yet
does not affect the albumen Of the

The. huge static electrical machine he
uses develops 35, 900 volts. That, after
being passed thru a Van Houten and

He smears his germicide on the pa

decomposition of the germicide and its
atoms uniting with the electrons pass
on into the lung tissue, benumbing the
bacili and leaving the white blood
corpuscles only the task of carrying
of, the bacilli. :
Thus the white corpuscles do not
have to die to produce the toxin them

Deafness, Kissing Sounds in Head, Stonach
Disorder, Palpitation OF Heart and
Debility Overcome at Last.
Mr.. Newman certainly had very
tough time with the grip, and it is no
wonder that he thinks that the remedy
that CURED him can't be beat. His case
shows how profoundly grip poisons the
system and how obstinately it resists all
ordinary efforts to eradicate it.
Few cases can be worse than Mr.. New
man s for he had head, heart and stom-
aoh troubles combined with great weak
ness. He recently said:
1.-The attack Of grip which I had eight
years ago left me in very bad fix. I
became nearly deaf and my head ached
continually and was filled with kissing
aud roaring sounds. My heart huttered
and had regular running-away spells.
My stomach was so sore that I could
hardly bear touch OH that part Of my
body. had great deal of pain in the
region Of my liver and the doctor said
that organ was enlarged. Ny kidneys
ached SO at times that could hardly
stand.''
Didn't you give up and go to bed p"
he was asked.
No, I simply wouldn't. NY head
and my back ached dreadfully, but T
obstinately dragged myself about, kept
growing worse and finally ran down to
almost nothing"
=. !" What did you do to get relief?'' *
First I tried q doctor, but he did me
no good. Then I took all kinds Of adj
vertised preparations but nothing proved
helpful until I began to use DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. AS soon as got them I
knew that had at last hit the right
remedy for my case. The very first box
did more for me than anything else
had ever taken. They gave me relief
right away and in three months they
positively cured me. I think was
scarcely ever in better health in my life
than am at present"
Mr.. William A. Newman is a well.
known Camden county farmer, living at
Sagrada, Missouri. His case was a Sc
we're test for any remedy, but DR.. Will
liams Pink Pills met every requirement..
Other remedies merely drive the poison
Of the grip into hiding, but DR.. Williams
Pink Pills drive 1t out Of the system.
They are sold by every druggist.
