WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.

and Healthy.

and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
fThey work night and day. When healthy
they remove about 500 grains OF impure
matter daily, when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many diseases
and symptoms-pain in the back, head
ache, nervousness, hot. dry skin, rheuma-
tism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eye.
sight and hearing, dizziness. irregular
heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, de-
posits in the urine, etc. But if you
keep the filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.
Mrs. L. Nettleblade, 1873 Astor street,
Astoria, Oregon, says: "For a long time
| felt weak, tired and depressed, suffer
ing severely from kidney complaint and
would rise in the morning feeling so
lame and stiff that it was only with
great effort that / was able to perform
my household duties. There was an
awful bearing down feeling through my
hips and loins and many times l suffered
50 intensely that l was forced to lie
down in the midst Of my work. The
secretions from my kidneys were unna
tural in appearance, frequently causing
me much annoyance. l finally learned
OF Doan's Kidney Pills and deciding to
give them trial, procured box at

JAMES W. WEIGH,
President.

We are offering the substantial figures
and business balances, found by Manager
J. H. Whyte, and taken from the an
nual report fled by him last night, and
will supplement this with the other in
teresting data presented by Mr.. Whyte,
in tomorrow's issues. The business ele-
ment OF his report referred to, is in
substance, as follows:
Advertising
took charge of the work of the
Chamber OF Commerce beginning with
the month of April and have now been
in office nine months.
The advertising that has so far been
done has constituted the principal work
l have so far conducted.
There has been expended $2l00, as
per the cash book, for buying of adver-
tisiug space, and $GS2 for pamphlets,
most of which have been used. We have
received 1884 letters up to December
81. from most of the countries of the
world including South Africa, PHILIPPINE
Islands, and nearly all OF the European
States. These inquiries may be divided
as follows:-
Investments, 1873; lands, 1891; fac
tories, G3; real estate and immigration
agents, 32l; promoters, lj2; wanting
to better condition, 2l2S; labor, 456;
about other subjects, 2779; total, 1894.
do not believe that any considerable
part Of the present good the Chamber
of Commerce has accomplished for AS
toria can be accomplished unless its
advertising is continued. The Promo
ton Committee for the past year has
demonstrated to the people of Astoria
the best system Of municipal advertis'
ing that has yet been developed any
where. 1t is a system that has lever
before been tried west OF the Rocky
Mountains.
As a suggestion l believe that if four
or five companies that | have in mind,
were chartered, that is chartered and
organized with local directors, that this
system of advertising would still be i'm
proved. With these companies 50 or
ganized, | think we would be able to
start them going with outside money.
Concerning a number OF propositions
which We have mentioned in our advert.

As tor the colonization of lands about

convinced that what is needed is the
formation OF company that will clear

OF this kind has been suggested by one
OF our leading business men, | believe
that with $4,000 cash capital, this COM
pany would be able to clear off thous
ands Of acres OF stump lands, dixie
thousands OF acres of tide lands, settle
them up with thrifty people, and make
a dividend on these transactions for the
stockholders With a very small ex.
penditure donkey engine can be pur'
chased and stump.pulling appliances
that viii clear the stumps from acres
OF land without moving. The owners
OF stump land. mostly timbermen, would
most likely be glad to cooperate in this
connection.
The movement that was started dur
ing the latter part of last year for the
drilling of an oil and gas well is now
to be taken up with renewed activity,
and with every prospect for success.
While the drilling OF an oil and gas we'll
cannot be considered in the light OF an
investment. yet it is so important an
enterprise for the community that ii

easily afford to levy special tax to
make such q test. In case We succeed

sufficiently large to furnish ample power

D. C. Wrighter, Civil Engineer, Tells of
the Coming City of Fem.

d. c. Wrighter, the engineer who
has had charge of the plating of the
townsite of Fem, was in the city Sat
urday. Mr. Wrighter announces
that the townSite is now entirely plat
ted and that work on the sinking of
the well to supply the town with
water will be started at an early date.
John P. Voltmer, the Lewiston cap
italist and banker, who is the owner
of the townsite, will be here this
week to look after some important
matters concerning the development
of the new town.
There are about thirty blocks in the
townsite as plated, according to Mr.
Wriphter. In all these wide alleys
and streets have been allowed for and
the proposed city is laid out on the
most modern plan Fem is the last
of three townsites along the new rail-
road from Culdesac to this city that
Mr.. Wrighter has plated for Mr..
Vollmer. Rubens and Steunenberg,
both Mr.. Vollmer's townsites, were
laid out by Mr.. Wrighter. Of the
three sites, Mr.. Wrighter, who is ;
man of considerable experience in hi!
line of work, selects Fem as tht
most promising. 1t is better located
and has richer tributary country thar

is very desirable from Commercial
standpoint and it is thought by man

ira provided the music.
The ice cream social given at the
Presbyterian Manse last Thursday
evening was accorded an unusually
large attendance, considering the in

else but suggestive of lawn games and

was enjoyed by all present.

John Jack took a party of local

his auto last Thursday. The trip down
the Salmon river grade was exciting
enough to satisfy even Johns ideas
of an ideal motoring expedition as
three teams were passed going down.
In one instance the machine was
driven SO near the edge of the grade
that it was deemed unadvisable to start
the engines as. the jar occaSioned
might have sent the anto hundreds of
feet below to certain destruction. A
team was hitched to the machine and
it was brought back to the level of the
grade in safety. Mr.. Jack plans to
take trip to the Payette lakes and
to Elk City with his machine in the
near future.
