Mr.. Donovan Thinks the Remedy Used by
Him with Such Remarkable Success
the Best-Cured by Five Boxes.
Men who have to do difficult and
dangerous work on electric lines at any
hour of day or night, can t afford to have
anything the matter with their health, "
said Mr.. Donovan. You can imagine,
therefore, how much was alarmed one
winters day in 1902, when was seized
by pain just behind my right hip that
made it difficult for me to walk home.
1t was 30 bad by the time l reached the
house that / was obliged to go straight
to bed
i" Did that relieve you?"
No, the pain grew more severe and
kept extending downward along my leg.
1 sent for physician, and he soon de-
cided that had sciatica. In few days
the whole nerve was affected, and the
least movement brought ON terrible
agony"
did your condition improve under
the doctors treatment"
"Quite the contrary At the end of
two months WASH bit better and at
times / feared that / would never be
able to leave my bed. -
How did you get out again o.
"When was lying in bed, unable to
move and wasting away in flesh, friend
visited me and told me about the won.
derful cures brought about by great
blood and nerve remedy, DR. Williams
Pink Pills. He strongly urged me to try
them, and luckily had sense enough to
take his advice
" Did you mend quickly?"
" Yes, that was the astonishing thing.
noticed slight improvement before I
had quite finished the first box of the
pills, could get ont of bed while was
ON the third box, and l was entirely
cured by the time had taken five boxes. !"

EXTEND COLUMBIA SOUTHERN.
Hartman Officials Will Look Over
the Route at Once.

That the resolutions passed this
week by the Oregon Development
league, calling the railroads to ac-
count for inactivity in building ex-
tensions will bear immediate fruit,
is made apparent by the announce
ment that the Hartman officials,
will spend the next two weeks in
looking over the route of a propos-
ed extension of the Columbia South
ern from Shaniko to Bend.
While it has been expected that this
branch would be extended, yet little
hopes were entertained that work
would begin upon it this year, but
the activity in official circles would
indicate that early operations may
begin upon it, General Manager
O'Brien favors extension wherever
possible to develop Oregon and it is
possible that influence will be brought
to bear upon the head of the Harri-
man lines to start work at once. In
speaking of the matter, the Oregon
Daily Journal of Thursday says:
Extension of the Columbia South
ern railroad 100 miles, from Shaniko
to Bend, will be commenced, it is
said, within the next few months.
Final decision awaits the completion
of a thorough investigation being
made by Hartman line officials
with regard to conditions of the coun-
try through which the route passes.
1t is reported that a positive con-
clusion will be reached within the
next two weeks. The interval will
be spent by General Manager j. p.
O'Brien, w. w. Cotton, Chief Engin-
eer Boshke and r. B. Miller, general
! freight agent of the oregon Railroad
& Navigation company. in making a
trip over the surveyed route of the
Columbia Southern between Shaniko,
the present terminus of the road, and
Bend, a thriving interior town of 500
people on the Deschutes river, in
| Crook county.

Al last, after many months of liti-
cation, Baker County has won in its
suit against the bondsmen of ex-
Sheriff A. H. Huntington. About 7
o'clock last evening the jury returned
a verdict in favor of the county for
the full amount sued for, which is
$4,000 and accrued interest.
The case is one of long standing,
and was brought by the county to
compel the bondsmen to reimburse
it for losses sustained through the
shortage of the ex-sheriff. 1t is said
that the amount secured will not full
ly cover the loss sustained by the
county.
The case was originally decided in
favor of the county by the circuit
court of Baker county. An appeal
was then taken to the supreme court,
and a new trial was ordered by that
body and it was directed that certain
evidence previously barred should be
allawed A change of venue was then
asked by the defense and the case
was brought here. However, it has
turned out that the fight was futile,
and the four bondsmen will have to
pay the county the full amount.
The case for Baker county was
represented by T. G. Green and HALEY
& Lowell, while William Smith and
NJ. L, Olmstead appeared for the
bondsmen.
Today the case of the Manchester
Insurance company and Virgil F.
Moore VS.. the o. r. & N, is being
tried in the circuit court. The suit
is brought to recover damages sus-
tanned in the burning of a wheat
warehouse at Barnhart station in
| 1902. The case for the plaintiffs is
| being represented by John McCourt
while H. F. Corners, assisted by Car
| ter, Raley & Raley appear for the
railroad.
This morning the jury was secur-
| ed as follows: F. NJ. oliver, Charles
| Semple, j. H. Rust, H. L. Frazier A
C. Henderson, H. T. Hill, John Bry.
ant, T. G. Smith, w. NJ. Scott, Henry
Lazinka, C. L. Woodward and ]. NJ
Ferguson. Witnesses examined dur.
ing the forenoon were V. F.. Moore!
and E. w. McComas.

Then it tells of how Judge Sam White
appeared on the scene and informed
Mr.. Nolf that he had no jurisdiction
in that county, as they had an Off
cial of their own there. 1t is evident
that the circuit judge wished to pro-
tect his Baker City friends, and per-
haps accomplices from arrest by our
Jealous game warden.
This morning Mr.. Nolf arrived
home after a few days at Hot Lake
for needed relaxation, and at once
looked up his credentials from the
state warden. AS a result hei found
that he had full authority to serve in
any county in the state. Consequent
ly, it is his intention to return to Ba-
ker at the first opportunity, and when
he, does so it is probable that Judge
White will be required to show cause
why he should not be impeached for
having interefered with an officer in
the discharge of his duty.
