HE GIVES SOME GOOD
ADVICE
HOW TO RELIEVE cATARRI-
TELLS OF PRESCRIPTION
EASILY PREPARED AT HOME
TO GIVE PROMPT RELIEF.

Here is a prescription which should
be valued BY all who are subject to
rheumatism, kidney and bladder trou-
bles and especially catarrh. While
the latter Is considered BY most suf.
ferers an ineurable disease. there are
flew men or women who will fail to
experience great relief from the fol-
lowing simple home prescription, and
il taken in time ii should prevent an
attack Of catarrh during the entire
season.
Any one can mix the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-hali
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsapariila three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
use in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime. Get these
ingredients from any pharmacist
whom you know handles only pure
drugs.
This prescription acts directly up.
on the eliminative tissues Of the kid
neys to make them filter and strain
from the blood, the poisons that pro.
duce all forms Of catarrhal affections
b
Relief is often felt even after the first
lew doses and it is seldom that the
sufferer ever experiences a return at.
tack within the year.
This prescription makes a splendid
remedy for all forms Of blood disor
ders and such symptoms as lame
back, bladder weaknesses and rheu-
uatism pains are entirely dispelled.
As this valuable, though simple, re
cipe comes from a thoroughly reli.
able source, II should be needed by
every reader who suffers from ca.
tarrh.

FINE KILN OF $4,000

The Astoria Clay Product Com.
pany, the well known brick-nlaking
enterprise launched in this city some
months ago, uncovered their second
kiln Of brick yesterday, and turned
out $4,000 as fine brick as ever went
on to any market in this country.
The trouble is they are almost too
fine for the spot market. They are
beautifully shaped, well tempered and
look like symetry itself, and all are
evenly colored Out Of this kiln the
company made its first marketing,
direct to the hands Of Hon. Thomas
A. Mcbride, who will use the brick
IN one Of his home fire places up at
ST. Helen's or over on Deer Island.
They will be shipped to him today
Lew Ogan, the export who has
been with the company through its
organization, has filed his resignation.
and it has been accepted. He Is sue
ceeded by Mr.. Buxton, who is also
a thoroughly trained brick man, and

cern will now go squarely into the
brick business for keeps The work
it has done to date has been largely
experimental in determining the
clays and the woods for burning, the
Temperatures Of the kilns and all the
elements that have to be tried out

Dora Arrives From Seattle

The steamer Dora reached this port Thursday evenings at 7:3O. She reports a stormy voyage, and the part of it from Latouche to Seward was the toughest. Captain Moore brought his wife with him. She will remain in Seward while the Dora makes the trip to the westward. She is staying at the Me- Neiley on Fourth Ave.
 The Dora brought quite a quantity of mail, and three or four prospectors who will later go into the hills. They report that many more are coming on the next boat from Seattle.
 The Dora got away from Seward, bound for points to the far west, a little after F o'clock last night

AN APPRECIATION OF
 ALASKA COPPER DEPOSITS

Few persons realize the supreme pO- sition Alaska will shortly occupy in the production of copper. For years we'll equipped exploration parties have exploited the vast mineral deposits of this country m the interest of firms of international reputation, and gradu- ally the results of their discoveries have been allowed to reach the pub lie at large. Along the Copper river vast deposits of copper have been To- cated, which in quality as well as in quantity surpass anything heretofore found in the United States.
 The work of producing the ore is greatly facilitated by the peculiar to- geographical features of the country. The immense lodges of almost pure copper rise to great heights, and are freely accessible at a minimum cost. Alaska has 26,OOO miles of sea coast, of which thousands of miles are wash ed by the Japan current, rendering possible the raising of all cereals, fruits and vegetables grown in the temperate zone. This seacoast offers ready access to the markets of the world, and in short time Alaska copper will be known everywhere and compete successfully with the richest copper produced elsewhere.
 The opportunity for safe and profta- ble investment there has never been surpassed. This is the great hour be- fore dawn in the Alaska copper fields where the Carly bird will surely catch the proverbial worm.-Washington Miner.

OUTLOOK

It. is reported on good authority that Skeen and Lechner will put good force of men Co work in the spring on their Falls creek property. Last sum mer they took out twelve tons of free milling ore, packed it five miles on horses to the railroad, had it trans ported to Seward and shipped to the Tacoma shelter, and after all expenses were paid, they realized a profit of seventy dollars per ton on the ore.
 These men now have LOGO tons of ore blocked out, and are only waiting the coming of suitable weather to be- gin mining and shipping.
 From the outside comes the news that many men in the states are very much interested in the mining pros poets in the vicinity of Seward. Indt- cations are good that the spring will see an influx ol miners and capitalists into this part of the territory, and there will be a marked increase of business in Seward and consequent normal development of the town.
