HON. S. B. HERMAN
IS WELL AGAIN
Noted Oregon Statesman Restored to Health
on Recent Eastern Trip.

Hon. Shiller B. Herman, distin
guished statesman and legislator oi
Portland, Oregon, who was recently on
an eastern trip, is among those strong
ly In favor Of L. T. Cooper, in the dis.
cussion over Cooper and his medicines,
which has ragged for the past year in
cities visited by the young man on his
educative campaigns, as he calls them.
Cooper was explaining his new the
ories and medicines to Boston people
during the Oregonian's visit to that
city, and in a recent interview Mr..
Herman said: "My trip east accom-
plished more for me than l ever be-
lieved possible. It has actually been
the means of restoring my health.
While in Boston I heard a great deal
about this man Cooper and his medi-
cines, and one morning l talked with
a Boston banker who told me that he
had been relieved by Cooper's medl-
cines after ten years chronic dyspep-
sia. For the past twenty years / have
been a fearful sufferer with nervous
dyspepsia. 1t has been so bad that it
all but forced me to resign from the
legislature.

SOLD BIG BORAX NINE.
Spokane Men Clean Up Big Sum i'm
California Property.

Messrs. Finch & Campbell, million.
aire mine operators of Spokane. and
their associates in the Palm Borate
company. owning 120 acres of pat
eHted ground and a 30-acre mill site
near Daggett, Cal, announce the sale
of the control of the property to an
English corporation. which seeks to
invade the worlds markets, now mo-
nopolized by "Borax" Smith of 20
mule team fame. says a Spokane item,
The company was organized in 1902
with a capital stock of 100000. and
only $50 shares of 81 each were is
sued the rest being held by the Spo-
kane men and their associates. OF
the 100000 paid by the corporation,
$4,000 will be expended in a plant
of 100 tons daily capacity to work the
100000 tons of borate of lime al
ready exposed in the deposit which
with the mines controlled by Smith,
supply 20 per cent of the borax pro-
duct of the world.
The product is worth six cents
pound. The output of the United
States in 1907 was 5S.17S crude short
tons, valued at $1.1S2,41O. and practi-
cally all of 1t came from the Dag
gett and Death Valley districts.

AWFUL ITCHING
BURNING SPOTS
FOrmedon Legs and Exuded Watery
Matter-Then Spread to Arms
Kept Ankles Bandaged Over a Year
Until Skin Was Made Smooth and
TORMENT WAS STOPPED
IN 3'DAYS BY CUTICURA

In December 1905 L had q blood-red
spot about as large as q nickel come on
my left shin about three inches above
theankle and in about two weeks thesame
kind OF spot came on the right shin,
did not know but it was poison from
some black stockings but my wife said it
could not be for she had washed them
thoroughly twice. The spots spread
until they were some two inches across.
Then my shins and under my ankle
bones commenced 10 break out in fine
rash which extended about halfway tony
knees. The burning and itching were
something terrible and later the rash
began TO exude q watery matter. FL
nally 1t went TO my elbows and above
and below them. l doctored with
two doctors but it did no good. | kept
my ankles bandaged for over n year.
One day friend Of mine said he believed
the Cuticura Remedies would help me,
i sent for them and in three days after
using the Cuticura Remedies there was
q complete change. The skin cleared up
smooth and the itching stopped. | am
still using the Cuticura Remedies for,
once a week or so, some little spot will
break out in a fine rash and commence
TO itch. But washing with Cuticura
Soap and putting on Cuticura Ointment
drives 1t all away. / am seventy-one
years old to-day. Geo. N Westcott, Post

DANGER OF CATARRH.
Unless Properly Treated With Hyo-
mel. Becomes Serious.

Unless Properly Treated With Hyo-
mel, Becomes Serious.
Catarrhal troubles are far more
dangerous than they seem at first
thought.
II you have catarrh, there is an
irritated state of the mucous MEM
brane and weakened tissues which
afford an ideal lodgment and culture
medium for disease germs, especially
those Of consumption.
You should get cured as quickly as
possible before any dangerous germs
that you may breathe lodge on the
diseased tissue and work destruction
in the throat and lungs.
The easiest, simplest, quickest, sur
est and cheapest way to cure catarrh
Is by the direct method, breathing
Hyomei. This wonderful medicated
air treatment does not drug or de-
range the stomach, but is breathed
in, directly following and destroying
all disease germs that may have been
inhaled.
The unusual way in which Hyomei
is sold by Tallman & Co. is the best
evidence Of their confidence in the
treatment and should dispel all doubt
as to its curative properties. They
agree to refund the purchase price to
anyone whom Hyomei fails to benefit
and you do not risk a cent in testing
its healing virtues. A complete outfit
costs but 81 II II helps you. not n
cent II 1t does not do all that is claim
ed for II.

ing, and / made up my mind to try

sicians without number both East and
West. They had been unable to help
me in the least, and ! no more be-
lieved this Cooper medicine could help
me than 1t could bring a dead man
back to life. l really don't know why
l bought 1t. 1t was like a drowning
man clutching at a straw.
ITO make long story short, 1t has
been astonishingly successful In my
case. Today / am enjoying sound
stomach and perfect health for the
first time in twenty years. I can eat
heartily without the slightest inconve-
nience afterward. l have a fine appe-
tite, and sleep well. l am no longer
moody and depressed, and my nervous
ness has entirely disappeared.

sia owes 1t to his family to try this
medicine"
In all our experience as druggists,
we have never seen anything to sur
pass the famous Cooper preparations.

WHAT ONE PLAY SAVED OREGON
"The County Chairman" Changed
Sentiment of Legislature.

The Salem Journal in an editorial
tells an interesting story of how the
presentation of a play at the Salem
opera house during a session of the
Legislature saved the taxpayers OF
Oregon perhaps millions of dollars
The Journal says:
The manager of the Grand opera
house at Salem probably saved the
taxpayers half a million in one night
The political play. 1.-The County
Chairman" was shrewdly advertised
in the Capital Journal.
Free copies were put on the desks
of all the members of the legislature
who are not already subscribers.
Both houses held very short ses'
sions after supper, and adjourned tc
attend in body. The bills slated for
passage in the evening were lost sight
of.
Many of the members were accom-
panied by their wives and daughters,
and many of the committee clerks
and members of the third house.
The boxes were filled in a very ef-
fective manner. President of the
Senate Haines had a box with a par
ty of senators.
Hon. B. F. Jones and some of the
free locks leaders had another box
Speaker Vawter and house and senate
leaders and their wives had seats in
the bald-headed row.
AS new groups of the legislators
sauntered in there were cries of
Speech" Speech" Call of the
house" regular order" etc.
Reading of the Capital Journal was
called for, and an indignant member
of the normal school combine moved
to dispense with reading 1t.
The sergeant-at-arms and 40 door
keeps could not have held the jolly
crowd down. All care and anxiety
about their little measures were for
gotten, and pure enjoyment reigned
supreme.
The sharp hits of the leading actor
The County Chairman-were en-
joyed, and went home as each mem
Der recalled his own experiences in
his own individual campaign
1t would have been a good thing
for the whole state if there could
have been about three good plays a
week all winter, but the public has
enjoyed the farces enacted at the big
theater up at the capitol building
quite as much as the members en-
joyed the satire last night at the
Grand.

BETTER FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
Henry Clews Sees Confidence in
Every Phase OF Business.

Henry Clews Sees Confidence in
Every Phase OF Business.
Henry Clews says of the financial
situation:
The tendency of affairs in Wall
street is distinctly towards improve
ment. Confidence is reviving and a
much greater degree of recovery has
already been established than could
possibly have been foretold month
or six weeks ago.
This Improvement is almost entire
ly due to favorable developments in
the monetary situation. The premi-
um on currency has finally disappear
ed, and rates for time money are
steadily declining. Along with this
movement there has been a cores
ponding drop in rates for commercial
paper, the demand for which has
much improved.
The arrangement in credit is grad
ually passing away; liquidation has
been severe and has had the effect of
releasing large sums previously lock-
ed up in high-priced securities. The
return movement of funds from the
interior has fairly begun and will
now continue for some time to come
There is an abundance of currency in
the interior and relative scarcity in
New York.
This is demonstrated by the last
national bank statement, which show
ed that the banks in the central-re-
serve cities in order to help during
the crisis allowed their reserves to de-
cline to sS2OOO,OOO below legal re-
quirements, while the country banks
carried surplus reserves of over s1OS-
100000 with the return of conf
