Is DOUBLING WORK.
Timber Cruisers Are Ru-i But
are Not Ready to Make a
Report.


Work of the office of Assessor Sim
dali has been doubled this year. ac-
cording to the statement of officials,
and it is not improbable that the as
SCISSORS and his assistants will have to
work day and night for the part of
the summer as result. The books
of the assessor must be ready for re-
view by the board of equalization on
the first Monday in August.
Timber cruisers who have been
computing the amount of standing
timber on decided land in Yakima
county are busy in the southwest end
of the county They will be unable
to make reports until late in July
and maybe not until August. The
timber on the reservation is not as
sessed.
While no definite figures can be
given out, it seems likely that the as
sessment roll this year will show
nearly twice as many property own
ers as previously. and that the per-
sonal assessment roll will show an
immense increase in valuations.

Dr. Darrin is certainly the most re-
markable and successful physician
now before the public. The percep-
tive faculties of the physician seem
so well trained that he tells at once
every disease of the human body and
precisely what condition of health
or disease exists; detects and de-
scribes every symptom ache and
pain, and gives a full history of the
case from beginning to the end; tells
so plainly that shows he is correct.
He tells prospects of life or danger of
death, whether cure is possible or
impossible. He astonishes every one
by his wonderful and correct knowl-
edge Of diseases so plain, and his
skill and ability so great that a
speedy cure is an absolute certainty.
This is an opportunity for the af-
flcted to be cured. No matter what
their condition, how many doctors
they have had, or patent medicine
have taken-no matter what the
doubts may be, there is hope Dr..
Darrin has cured many, and can cure
others \ perfect knowledge Of dis
ease is power and one-half the cure.
1t is a patients life that is at stake;
they must either get we'll or suffer.
No matter if the best physicians have
given YOU up or hospitals have
turned you away as incurable, no
matter what, go straight to Dr.. OAR
rim at his offices in the postoffice
block. corner South Second and
Chestnut streets, between the hours
Of 10 a. N. and p. m. where every
courtesy will be extended to have a
free talk and consultation, and if a
cure is possible YOU may be as sure
of it as OF the sun rising.

Some people say Billy Taft will be our next president, and other people are sure that Billy Bryan will occupy the chair for at least four years. We'll, no matter which one succeeds, they both will be real and they'll both realize what's meant by "hot old time" Then again some people go into saloons and par take of drinks known as red eye, fire water, forty-rod killer and others.
