QUAKE CUTS EARNINGS.
Union Pacific Feels Result of San
FranciscO's Disaster,

The earnings of the Union Pacific,
officials of the road say, for the past
two weeks have shown considerable
effect from the destruction of San
Francisco and from the large amount
of free transportation given by the
Hartman lines. Yet It is believed
that the freight traffic will increase
to such an extent when heavy ship
ments of building material to San
Francisco begin that the deficiencies
will be made up.
Nearly all the docks and terminals
of the Hartman lines at Oakland are
in safe condition, and E. H. Hartman
has announced that he will do all in
his power to hold all possible trade at
build San Francisco.
The Union Pacific's gross earnings
for March are in excess of $4,000, 900.
but are not so favorable as expected.
The increase of the net earnings of
the Union Pacific for the first nine
months of the present fiscal year is
$3,600,000, which is equal to about
1k per cent on the present outstand-
Ing common stock of the company
Tho increase In gross and net earn
ings for the nine months are the larg-
est that the company has had in years.
The gross increased 1873 per cent.

Among the high school students the
be held Saturday is the absorbing
topic. AS the meet will be a try-out
for the one which is to be held with
Baker City and La Grande high
schools on Decoration Day, the show
ing made will have an important
bearing on the chances of the local
team in the annual contest.
The fifth of a mile track at the Mat
lock grounds has now been put in fair
shape for use. After being graded
and the rocks thrown out one of the
road rollers was run over the track to
pack the same.
In the meet Saturday the seniors
and sophomores will contest against
the juniors and freshmen. and the
two teams are said to be closely
matched. Gold and silver medals
will be given to the first and second
place takers.
For the 100-yard dash Bollerman,
Turner and Pierce are making good
showings. In the high jump Jay has
gone five feet six inches, while in the
broad jump r. Bollerman has gone
over 19 feet. Jay and Leezer are try
ing for the pole vault, while in the
weights Scott, Means, Turner. Reeves
and Storie are showing up well.
In the runs the contestants will be
Pierce, Leezer, Stricklin, Dickson,
Hill and Cresswell. Stricklin is es-
pecially promising as quarter and
half-mile man. In the hurdles Jay,
Leezer, Dickson and Hill are sure Of
places, and there will be good relay
race.
Since Royal Sawtelle has offered a
silver loving cup for the winning team
in the inter-high school contest, the
local boys are anxious to keep the
same here is possible. Also, there is
much rivalry among the eighth grade
pupils over the small cup which Mr..

OPEN PUBLICITY THE REST
n GUARANTY OF MERIT.

When the maker OF medicine. sold
through druggists for family use, takes
his patients fully into his confidence by
frankly and fearlessly publishing broad
cast as well as on Its bottle wrappers,
full list Of all its ingredients In plain
English, this action on his part Is the
best possible evidence that he Is not
afraid to have the search light Of inves-
tigation turned full upon his formula
and that 1t will bear the fullest scrutiny
and the most thorough investigation.

his full confidence by such open and
honest publicity.
A glance at the published ingredients
on each bottle wrapper, will show that II

medicinal roots, that 1t contains no poi
sonOus or habit-fOrming drugs, no mar
cotics and no alcohol-pure, triple-refined
glycerine, OF proper strength being used
Instead OF the commonly employed alco.
hol, both for extracting and preserving
the active medicinal properties found in
the roots Of the American forest plants
employed. II Is the only medicine for
womenI's peculiar diseases, sold by drug
gists, that does not contain large per-
centage OF alcohol, which is in the long
run so harmful TO woman's delicate, nerv-
GUS system. Now, glycerine is perfectly
harmless, and serves a valuable purpose
by possessing intrinsic value all its own,
and besides 1t enhances the curative
effect Of the other ingredients entering
into the rFavorite Prescription
Some OF the ablest medical writer's and
teachers endorse these views and praise
all the several ingredients Of which VA
vOrite Prescription" Is composed - rec
ommending them for the cure Of the
very same diseases for which this world
famed medicine is advised. No other

fesstOndI endorsement-worth more than
any number Of ordinary testimonials. II

r. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, for his little
book Of extracts from the works OF
eminent medical writers and teachers,

GRAIN SACKS HIGH.
Big Bend Farmers Complaining OF Ex-
Orbitant Prices.

Farmers generally are complaining
bitterly about the exorbitant prices at
which the season opens for grain
sacks throughout this section, says n
Harrington, Wash, dispatch. Eight
cents each in large quantities has been
the highest price charged for sacks in
this section for a number of years. and
even this the farmers thought very
high, but this year the market opens
at 10 cents per sack by the bale, the
highest price ever known since the
Big Bend has been a wheat-producing
country.
This may not sound so big to the
average small rancher. but when one
stops to consider that many of the
ranchers Of the Harrington wheat belt
will have to buy from 10000 to 40. 900
sacks this season in order to handle
their crop and expeditiously save the
same. it will be seen that the sack
question is quite a serious item of ex-
pense.
