MAKES LIFE MISERABLE.
Troubles That Keep Half the Cor
wallis Doctors Busy.

Half of the prescriptions the Corvallis
doctors write are for troubles that result
directly from weakened stomach.
Strengthen the stomach muscles, increase
the secretion Of gastric juices, and you
will find that common afflictions-indi-
gestion, with it's headaches, dizziness,
depres sion of spirits. spots before the eyes,
nervousness, sleeplessness and general
de bility-have peen overcome.
From now on build up the strength and
health of the stomach with Mi-o-na tab
let's. You will soon find yourseif strong
and never know the meaning Of in dtges-
ton.
If Mi.o-na did not have an unusually
curative effect in stomach disorders, 1t
could not be sold on the guarantee given
by Graham & Wells to refund the money
unless it does all that is claimed for it.
They give an abeoiute, unqualified guar
antee with every 50.cent box OF li-o-ns
that the money will be seiundtd unless
the medicine cures. They take the whole
risk. and yea csrtaiAly car afford to get

THEIR SPLENDID RECORD.
Alaskan Basketball Team Dis
bands in Chicago-Lost but
Eight Games.

The Alaskan basketball team,
coached by Claude Swami, the
Corvallis star of olden times, dis
banded last week in Chic go. hav-
ing made the trip from Seattle
via Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Salt Lake, Denver and St. Louis
to Chicago, playing all the best
teams en- route and losing but s
games out of the AZ played.
Swami and five of his men ex-
pected to go to Wisconsin the
latter part of last week to play a
number of games there. They
did not expect to win, according
to Swannie's letter to his parents,
Sunday, but were playing the
schedule on their way home.
The games in which the Alas
kans have been losers, and scores
are: Dallas, Oregon, SO to 23;
Los Angeles (second game played
there) 27 to 10; Salt Lake Y. M.
c. A, 80 to 81; Baker Univer-
sity, Kansas, 81 to 27; Kansas
City Athletic Club AZ to Al; Viii.
liam jewel College, s. to 33
Chicago Cresents, 80 to 36; Chi.
cago Gentrals, 40 to IS.
Ii many of the games won by
| the Alaskans the number O
points made by them over theil
opponents in single game has
been greater than the total mum
Der of points lost by them in the
eight defeats.
The record made on their tril
is certainly one OF which bott
Swami and his teammates may
justly be proud, and Corvallis ane
OAC are alike proud of the recort
of their famous basketball coach
who gained his knowledge of tn
game at OAC.

"The main difficulty will be in

Dogs range iu value from 1o

the value will be lower about the

NEW MANUFACTURING PLANT.
Particulars of Big Deal in Which
August Fischer snd j. G.
HammeI Figure.

7. M. Martin and George F.
Wittmer of Portland and A. W
Fischer of Corvallis have formed
a partnership for the manufacture
OF lumber and shingles at Wald-
port and operating line of ves-
sells between that point and Port
land. Thev have purchased the
holdings of the company that
formerly owned the timber and
mill on the Alsea Bay.
The deal was closed on Satur-
day, February the 9TH, after the
Portland parties had made thor
oueh inspection ofthe timber and
property.
The company take over the
gasoline schooner, "The Con-
DOR" which is now ready for its
commission, and will build two
more te handle the present VOL
ume of business.
The Condor is $50 feet in
length and is equipped with IS
horse power gasoline engines.
These boats will be designed to
carry only freight, says the To-
ledo Reporter.
Mr.. Martin, the senior mem ber
of the firm. is practical lumber
man of many years experience.
Heinformed US that he was very
much pleased with the timber
they purchased. He is confident
that large portion of it will av-
erage IS per cent clear stuff and
that it was the quality on which
lthey could make profit. They
1 will put in a first class shingle
plant and put the saw mill in con-
dition for cutting lumber for ex'
port trade.
This company fortified with
their own boats for transportation
had no trouble in securing termi'
nal rates on the c. & E. at va
quina:. They will bring large
mount of lumber on barges from
Waldport to Yaquina and ship i
east over the G. & E.
We take much pleasure in re
cording the organization ane
plans of this company. 1t ha'
been plain to US that the road tt
business success on this coast LAY
through our harbors-that th'
water way was the true way. Th'
water way is not only>suflcient il
itself but it is the lever, and tn
only one, that will induce tn
railroad to give US fair rates.
We congratulate the people O
Waldport and the southern part Q
the county on their good fortune
This enterprise means large pa
roll, it means cheap freight rates
it means market for all your prc
