ITCHING HUMOR
ON LITTLE BOY
His Hands we're Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread Ali Over His Body
In Four Days the Child was
Entirely Cured Mother Strongly
RECOMMENDS CUTICURA
SOAP AND OINTMENT

Zone day we noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed 1t on his little
hands. His hands were not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard OF the Cuticura Remedies being
30 good for itching sores, etc., that I
thought / would get them. By this
time the disease had spread all over his
body, and his hands were nothing but
q solid mass Of this itching disease. l
went TO the drug store and purchased
a box Of Cuticura Soap and one box Of
Cuticura Ointment, and that night
stripped my little boy and took the
Cutlcura Soap and lukewarm water and
washed him well. Then | dried him
with a soft bath towel, and took the
Cuticura Ointment and rubbed him
thoroughly with IL. / did this every
evening before ] put him TO bed and In
three or four nights he was entirely
cured. You have my permission TO
publish this because anybody who suf-
fered as my baby did ought TO know OF
the Cuticura Remedies. / will surely
and gladly recommend the Cuticura
Remedies, for they are godsend TO all
suffering with skin diseases. Mrs. Frank

Science Helps Them Out After Reck-
lessly Abusing the Stomach.
The most reckless man in regard
to health is the busy business man,
At noon he rushes out for a bite to
eat He bolts his food without prop
er mastcation, and heaps on his
stomach an extra burden greater than
Il is able to carry without breaking
down.
His overworked stomach is crying
for help: It appeals to him for relief
in various ways: Expulsion of sour
gas; waterbrash, sour taste in mouth;
heaviness after eating; shortness of
breath; bad breath, etc.
One Mi-o-na tablet taken with or
after each meal will lhelp any suffer-
er from dyspepsia wonderfully. 1t
aids the stomach in the work Of di-
gestion which 1t must perform.
Mi-o-na tablets are sold by Tallman
& Co. at so cents a large box, with a
rigid guarantee to cure dyspepsia and
all stomach troubles, or money back.
They make eating pleasure.
Mi-o-na cleanses and purlfies the
stomach and bowels and puts vigor
and strength into the overworked
tissues. 1t is the surest stomach ton
&c in the world.
Mi-o-na is sold by leading druggists

probably prove interesting to learn
the method Of training elephants with
the Parker shows. Although the ele-
| phant is not carniverous animal he
| is dangerous enough at times. If
| you want an elephant to stand on his
head you should be very careful.
Chains are placed around his hind
quarters, and he is hoisted by pulleys
into the air often enough for him to
understand what is required of him
To teach these bulky creatures to
pose is very difficult. One well known
position is one elephant standing with
his forepaws on the hindquarters of
another while he flourishes his trunk
in theatrical attitude. To teach him
to do this you have TO pass chain
round his neck and another around
his trunk. The assistants haul away
on the neck chain until the animal
begins to choke. Naturally he rises
on his hind legs in order to be able
to breathe. Then the trunk cable is
hauled on and the elephant on whose
back he is to place his forepaws is
backed under them. Curiously
enough elephants dislike this treat
ment and often, after a severe lesson
will attack their trainer. If you want
a waltzing elephant you will have to
engage a number of very strong as
sistants, who will push the elephant
around, some at either end of the
great beast. You then shout waltz"
and all begin pushing. Soon the ele-
phant learns to whirl on the sound of
the word. Such tricks as ringing a
bell and grinding an organ are SIM
pie and effective. You simply put =,
the object in the elephants trunk and |
shake it for him.

plants during the carnival here, which

There was something doing for

customary for the boys at work there

bed time. They generally relate their
experiences on the road and the yarns
that some Of them spin would make

share of attention. The cook chimed
in and said that he had once had a
desperate hand to hand encounter
with a wampus. The debate had by
this time become so heated that no

1t was finally decided that an ele-

them is about as uncertain an animal

OF COLUMBIA
TRUST TALKS ABOUT
SUMMER RESORTS

+. w. Clark and wife are in the cit!
and are at the Bowman. Mr. Clark
who is president of Columbia Trus
company of Portland, is recognized
as one of the best posted real estate
men in the northwest. The company
with which he is connected is the
biggest leader in first class real es-
tate in Portland. The booklet which
they have just gotten out on Colum-
bia Beach is one of the handsomest
booklets seen in this part of the coun-
try for some time. The style and
quality of the booklet alone, stamp
the character of the company back
of it. It shows that there is nothing
cheap or halfway about them, which
means they are substantial and re-
liable,
Mr.. Clark, when interviewed by a
representative of the East Oregonian,
said in part:
"Yes. we have a first class propo-
sition in Columbia Beach. The best
of its kind in the northwest. 1t must
be OF nv company would not handle
II. We have one of the biggest and
most substantial real estate business
es in oregon and it has been made
such by the fact that when any
proposition marketed by and adver-
tised over the name of Columbia
Trust company means that it is first
class and is just as represented. we
cannot afford to have it otherwise.
Again. we employ only the very best
men to represent us that can be
found. and then we stand back OF
them in every way, knowing that they
cannot and Will not misrepresent
anything.
zone of the main features that
makes Columbia Beach especially at
tractive to people interested in and
wanting a home at the ocean side
where they can send their families
during the hot months, is, that it IS
highly restricted in the way OF IL
uuors and vice Of all kinds. We have
put perpetual restriction on III
against these things. We will MAN.
tain a police force there at all times,
whose special duty 1t will be to en-
force these restrictions and give
"move on orders to anyone of ques-
tionable character who might stop
there. 1t is to be a family resort
pure and simple, where women and
their children will be just as safe as
though at home or the father were
there. We realize that the busy man
of the interior cannot spend two or
three months at a resort away from
his business but he would like to
have n place to send his family dur
ing the hot months-therefore the
of Columbia Beach.
The location is good from a trans
portation standpoint. People can
leave Pendleton at a. m. and arrive
at Columbia Beach at $3.50 p. m.

HALF OF COLON|STS
COME TO OREGON
SUCH is PROVED BY
HARRIMAN'S LAST REPORTS

No Doubt That the Present Colonist

Years-RailrOads Are Themselves

Proves Popularity OF Northwest.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-04-13

That Oregon in particular is profit
ing by the special colonlst rate
granted to northwest points th
spring is shown by the above tabl,
and the following special to the Port
land Oregonian from Glen Andrus o
Chicago:
The colonization Of the Pacific
nothwest, which was halted by the
general business depression and by
the fears of the financial interests OF
the country, is again in full swing
The first month of the spring colon
ization period has just closed, and
the railroad manag6rs are astonish-
ed at the results shown by the net
figures of the returns.
Thtese figures, as compiled by both
the Hartman and the Hill lines, show
that the present year bids fair to sur
pass all previous years in the num-
bers who will seek homes in the land
of golden opportunity which Lewis
and Clark opened in the northwest.
This belief is the result Of the first
four weeks Of colonist travel. which
ended March 81. The returns are
not all in as yet, but enough have
been recorded to convince the rail-
road men that there will be at least
twice as many people settled in new
homes this year in the Pacific north
west as there were last year. If rec
ords are not broken in this respect,
there are a number of colonization
experts who will be cadly disappoint-
ed.
Last Year Beaten. Two to One.
During the first four weeks of the
colonist travel the Hartman lines
carried almost double the number of
people carried during the cores
ponding period last year The eager
ness with which the homeseeker is
looking toward the northwest is
shown by table of one-way colonist
tickets sold by the Hartman roads
for the month Of March, the sales be-
ing for the states of Washington, Ore
gon and Idaho. A significant fact in
the table is that more than so per
cent Of all the tickets sold were to
Portland and other points in oregon.
These figures show that total of
224S people in excess of March last
year have found homes in the three
states mentioned. when the Hartman
lines movement is alone considered.
Last year the entire movement for the
months of March and April, which
is the spring period over which low
colonlst rates prevail was 600. The
future sales and the estimated sales
for the remainder of the month of
April over the Union Pacific, the
Southern Pacific. the Oregon Short
Line and the oregon Railroad & Nav
igation company bring the total up to
5000. This is over double the num-
ber who settled in he states off the
roads during March and
April, 1908, and this figure gives
promise Of between 10000 and 5O,-
900 new settlers for the year.
