Growth of Cocaine Habit.

Mr. Robert l.. Stone called the attention

tanned.

Mr.. William G.. Henderson and, after dis
cussion and explanation, in which Mr..
Thomas W. Smith and DR.. A. P. Pardon
participated. was adopted. Mr.. NJ. /. Wei

called attention to the paragraph in the
report that referred to- the probable pur
chase by the government of the property

materially decrease the wharfage facilitie
OF the District by cutting of large area

No One Can be Strong With a Weak

The stomach is the handspring Of

body and brain are thoroughly nour-

One may perhaps get temporary
relief from stomach troubles by US
ing pepsIn, or some other digestant,
but this treatment has no curative ef-
feet. It does not reach the seat of
the trouble and remove the cause.

whole digestive system, reyives flag

simiIaticn Of food.
MI-0-na Is pleasant remedy to
use, and benefit is seen from almost
the first days treatment. It restores
the torpid glands and stimulates the
natural digestive secretions. It
checks fermentation. stops germ

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-02-10

The following account of winter
travel in the interior OF Alaska gives
some idea of the terrible hardships
met daily by the residents of the
north during the winter season. The
Seward City Gateway says:
Alexander r. Ryan, special deputy
marshal at Kenai, arrived in Seward
last night after as difficult a mush as
an Alaska sourdough is often called
upon 10 make. He came to bring a
prisoner, Ivan Salava, who is accused
Of slaughtering moose for amusement
beyond the limit allowed by the game
law Philip Wilson came along as
guard.
Both Wilson and Salava partly froze
feet, hands or face and Wilson'S right
hand is practically helpless. Salava's
sufferings have been sufficient TO make
him wish he had never seen a moose,
regardless Of what the court may do
to him if he should he found guilty.
The men were eight days on the
trip of 80 miles. Much of the distance
there is no trail, and when they reach
ed Kenai lake it was not frozen. Con-
sequently they were obliged TO blaze a
trail along the rocky hillsides which
enclose the water for IL miles. This
occupied four days, and the weather
was extremely cold.
q never would have started on the
trip If had known the lake was not
frozen" said Mr.. Ryan. Il have been
in this country since 1855 and it is a
rare thing for the lake TO be free of
firm ice in January. The trip along
the bluffs where we had to make our
trail was as rough a job of mushinS
as l er did in this country"
From Kenai the party came nearly
straight east until they struck the old
winter trail 10 Sunrise, of which the
lake, when it is frozen, is the easiest
part. The country is rough most of
the way. but Alaska mushers are not
looking for asphalt pavements and
they suffered no disagreeable surprise
until they found they could not travel
on the surface of the lake.
Mr.. Ryan is a trader at Kenai, and
is also mail carrier to the post office
there from Homer carrying the mail
from the steamer Bertha. The dis
tance is 80 miles and usually takes
seven days. He follows the shore line
of Cook inlet and makes his own trail
every trip. There is little snow but
the country is rough and rocky.
Mr.. Ryan brought with him a speci-
men Alaska product which would
