1t is worthy. of notice that the ca
lamity which befell our Pacific coast
called forth such universal sympathy
among the nations. If we have not

federation of mankind" we certainly
arc approaching it when China, Ja-
pan, and even distant New Zealand

the relief Of American sufferers.
From something lie twenty countries
hancial aid was offered, and the presi-
dent mentioned to congress in his re-
kilograms of coincidence from rulers
and statesmen whose names alone

incident. 1t is wonderful sign of a
new era bound to come. The time
surely draws near in which we shall

of the shedding of one another S

the prevalence of the great famine in
India there was a considerable guam
tity of flour imported into Alden from
America, but at a very much greater
figure than that of the Indian pro-
duct, as this American flour was sold
at $7.46 to S7.79 a cask of 2 hundred
weight Owing to the long distance
travelled and the heat Of the hold in
the ships 1t deteriorated much sooner
than the Indian flour But since the
famine in India no American flour
has been imported into Alden, and
none likely will be again until another
famine comes or until the American
flour can be sold In the market at a
cheaper figure than the quantity i'm
ported several years ago.
The American flour imported on
that occasion was the very best flour
of well known firm, but / think the
mistake was made of trying to sell
high-priced flour to people who had
always been used to a common arti-
Gle at a cheap figure. Since that time
when American flour Is mentioned to
native merchant he throws up his
hands in despair and says 1t is no use
in trying to import American flour;
it costs too much, and tho common
people cannot afford to buy it.

The Dalles Chronicle gives the fol-
lowing resume of the scheme of the
business interests of that place to ex-
tend the portage road into the town:
A report Of the survey of the ex-
tension of the portage road from Big
Eddy to The Dalles, has been handed
in to the Business Mems association.
The survey provides for crossing
the o. r. & N. track $50 feet up from
the dock, running along the right of
way of the o. r. & n. to a point this
side of Seufert's cannery, where the
river juts in and prevents the road
keeping to the north of the track.
There 1t provides for continuing along
in straight line and shifting the o.
r. & y. steel south Is feet onto the
new grade and occupying their present
roadbed for n distance of about three
fourths of mile. After crossing the
ravine this side of Seufert's the road
would diverge from the o. r. & N,
striking directly across the sand flat

OFF FOR A SEALING CRUISE.
The Homer Leaves Portland for Desc
late Priblloff Islands.

Although carrying no reptiles Of
awc-inspiring dimensions or prattering
monkeys. the steamer Homer bore a
close resemblance to Noah's ark
when she started from Portland Sat
urday afternoon on her long voyage
to the Pribiloff islands,
Penned in on the deck were several
sheep and other domestic animals
doomed to come in contact with the
butchers knife upon their arrival at
the uninviting dots Of land in the far
north. In her hold the Homer car
ried some 500 tons of freight. consist
ing Of coal and general merchandise,
to replenish the stores and camps of
the North American Commercial COM
pany.
Besides Captain A. Donaldson and
crew of 30 the Homer carried a
dozen passengers, about half of whom
are employees of the concern having
charge of the sealing grounds, the list
including Drs. F. II. Smith and l.. r.
Noyes. ]. c. Redpath, Fred Scholder.
Emil lttner, John Mcclure and f,
Nance. All of these gentlemen, ex-
cepting DR.. Noyes and Mr.. Redpath,
will remain on the islands for two
years, while DR.. Noyes and Mr.. Red
path will return on the last trip of the
Homer.
NJ. c. Marsh, a scientist, in the gov
ernment employ; w. J. Lempkey,
chief treasury agent, and James
Judge, assistant treasury agent, were
among those who started for the is
lands on the Homer. Mr.. Judge is
accompanied by his wife.
Scientist Marsh goes along to repeat
some statistical work on the seal in
dustry, and he will spend about six
months making a thorough study of
conditions along the islands. Treasury
Agents Lempkey and Judge will see
to it that the hunting laws are obeyed
and also look after the welfare of the
natives.
The Homer will return for another
cargo of supplies about 'rly 10.

EXCELLENT ART EXHIBIT.
Display of the Work of st. Joseph
academy.

What is the most beautiful and
elaborate display of art work ever
made in this city is now to be seen
in the front window of the Great
Eastern store. 1t is the display from
the art department of st. Joseph's
academy, of this city, and is of high
standard in every respect.
The display consists of oil paintings
of high order, china painting. needle
work and other kinds of art work and
is 4 wonderful collection of beautiful
designs and skillful labor on the part
of students and teachers.
st. Joseph's academy makes a spec
ialty of art work and this display
gives an Insight into the standard of
work done there. The academy Is
well equipped for every kind of work
of this kind and employs tutors of a
high order of ability to conduct the
art department. Tho East Oregonian
urges the people of Pendleton to in
spect the excellent exhibit OF the work
of this Pendleton institution while
there is an opportunity to see it in one
collection.

fill would be put in, and continuing
on to point back of the Umatilla
House.
The cost of this extension Mr..
Gordon estimates at s56,23z.47.
No action has yet been taken by the
association on the report.
Another plan which has been con-
sidered for some time, is connecting
with the Great Southern near Seu-
fert's. crossing the o. r. & N. track
below the stockyards and continuing
down to the Regulator dock. In this
way three miles Of construction will
be avoided and the maintenance of
the road be greatly reduced. The cost
of construction would also be less
than one-half that provided for by
the recent survey.

ADVERTISE OREGON.
Pacific Northwest VIII Take 33
Young Women to jamestown.

One of the biggest schemes for ad-
vertising oregon has been undertaken
in Portland by Philip S. Bates, pub
monthly, the Pacific Northwest The
proposition is nothing less than the
taking of 3S young ladies'. one from
each county of the state. to the
jamestown exposition. which will
open May IL at jamestown. Va.
The exposition is to commemorate
the first settlement of the English in
the United States, which took place
in 1907. This historical event in the
history of the country is one which
gives opportunity for a wonderful eX-
ploitation of the great strides which
nave taken place in the past 800 years
and the jamestown exposition. from
an educational standpoint, will no
doubt prove an exceptional undertake
ing along these lines.
One farmers daughter from each
county in Oregon will be taken by
Mr.. Bates She will carry a large
amount of literature for general distri-
button along the lines of travel which
1t is expected our boards of trade will
furnish.
The method Of choosing the candi-
dates rests wholly with the farmers
daughters of the state They are all
entitled to compete for the honor Tt
is n simple proposition depending on
the number of subscriptions sent in
by the candidates. The cost of the
paper is 50 cents n year
All expenses will be paid and the
estimated cost of the trip is over StO.-
600. 1t will prove wonderful ad-
vertis Ament for the state as Mr.
Bates makes no charge for the work
he will do. His efforts to make Ore
gon better known throughout the
United States will receive the support
of everyone.

rlADE FROr1 NATIVE ROOTS
6, SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots of many native plants,
growing wild in our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure
Of human maladies is well proven. Even
the untutored Indian had learned the
curative value of some of these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work so he wanted his
squaw TO get well as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug "papoose root for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe'
male weaknesses. DR.. Pierce uses the
same rOot-called Blue Cohosh-in his
"Favorite Prescription" skillfully com
hined with other agents that make Il
more effective than any other medicine In
curing all the various weaknesses and
painful arrangements peculiar to women.
Many afflicted women have been saved
from the operating table and the sur
gcOn'S knife by the timely use of Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Tender
ness over the lower pelvic region, with
backache, spells of dizziness, faintneSs.
bearing down pains or distress should not
go unhecded. A course of "Favorite Pre-
ScriptiOn" will work marvellous beIetit
in all such cases. and generally effect
permanent cure II persisted in for rea-
sOnable length of time. The "Favorite
Prescription is harmless agent, being
wholly prepared from native medicinal
roots, without a drop of alcohol in its
make up, whereas all other medicines,
put up for sale through druggists for
woman's peculiar ailments, contain large
quantities of sprituouS liquors, which
are very harmful, especially to delicate
women. "Favorite Prescription" con-
tains neither alcohol nor harmful habit
forming drugs. All its ingredients are
printed on each bottle wrapper. 1t is a
powerful invigorating tonic, imparting
health and strength in particular to the
organs distinctly feminine. For weak
and sickly women, who are sworn out, y
or debilitated, especially for women who
work in store, office, or school-room, who
sit at the typewriter or sewing machine,
or bear heavy household burdens, and for
nursing mothers, DR.. Pierces Favorite
Prescription will prove priceless benefit
because of its health restoring and
strengthening power.
For constipation, the true, scientific
cure is DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellet&

WELSH sUPERsTITIoNs.
They Associate Spectral Hounds With
Mountain Storms.

Mountain Storms.
One of the many curious supersti-
lions of the Welsh peasantry is that
Of Cron Annwn, or ''the spirit
hounds of the air." When a storm
RACES over the mountains of Wales
the peasant will tell you that his
ear can discern the howl of the Cron
Annwn mingled with that Of the
wind, but sufficiently clear and dis
tinct to admit of no mistake of what
it is.
These spirit hounds" he tells
you, are the spectral dogs which
hunt the souls Of the dead, or which
foretell by their expectant cry the
approaching death of some person
of evil deeds. Few of those who pre-
tend that they can so readily dis
tinguish the cry Of the soul hunting
pack are willing to admit that they
have ever actually seen a Cron
Annwn, for" they say, 'who would
llnger until such specters dawned
upon the sight ?" They are describ-
ed by Faliesin and also in the ''NIa-
binogion," where it is said they are
OF clear, shining white, with red
ears. The above seems to be the uni
versal description, and on that ac-
count the author of 'Mythology of
the Ancient Druids" gives it as his
opinion that they are really ':mys-
teal transformations of Druidish
priests, with their white robes and
red tiaras."
In the popular superstitions of
Ireland, where a similar belief in
spectral hounds exists, they are said
to be get black, with eyes and teeth
OF fire" Old Con McMichael, who
murdered twenty persons in the ear
ly part of the fifteenth century and
who got rid of his victims by burn
ing their bodies, is said to have been
eaten by spectral dogs "that could
be seen high in the air awfully rend-
ms and tearing his flesh" One of
the peculiarities of the Cron Annwn
is that the farther away they are the
louder their cries appear, the sound
decreasing as they draw near.
