Dear Sir | desire to express my high appreciation

return my most sincere thanks to all the splendid fellows
who helped to make this ninth excursion success This
of forty people invested in the FurnishCoe project
and in Stanheld more than ONE HUNDRED THOU
SAND DOLLARS in five days and more yet to be closed
When it considered that all these visited and studied
the magnificent orchards of North Yakima and Hood River
the most highly developed in Washington and Oregon and
that those who bought largely inspected the splendid
government projects Hermiston and yet none invested
dollar anywhere except Stanhed the tribute pro-
ects and city with which you officer most sk-
ing incident
There is no success like success" and Special Car
No 8, was success itself
No matter how good project may be there must be
of unquesioned character and ability behind it to move
the and desire give you my dear doctor and
good with you the credit for this success The lands
when sold themselves but you folks did the work in
bringing the people here
| desire that Mr.. Wheeler, superintendent of agents
and agencies shall spur up his great field force of
than $50 agents to greater activity to close out our
few remaining lands and bring the whole FunishC pro-
ject into bearing, SO far possible time While
we work as one man. allow to decry talk down the
other projects most of all which good and especially
allow no criticism of our nearby neighbors
The successful man attends to his own business
That's enough The man that is most busy with the
business of his neghbor usually has business of his own

A DOZEN FAMILIES
CURED Of ITCH
BY CUT|CURA
Showed No Marks but Whole Body
ltched Like a Million Mosquito
Bites Sleep Out of the Question
and Life Became an Inferno.
DOCTORS AND DRUGGIST
TREATED THEM IN VAIN

1.-THE Cuticura Remedies are the best
in the world, as / know from experience.
In Dowlais, South Wales, about fifteen
years ago, families were stricken whole
sale by a disease known as the itch.
Believe me, it is the most terrible dis
ease OF its kind that / know Of as it
itches all through your body and makes
your life an inferno. Sleep is out Of the
question and you feel as if a million
mosquitoes were attacking you at the
same time. Yet you could see nothing
on the skin. But the itch was there all
right and l sincerely trust that shall
never get it. l knew a dozen families
that were so affected. The male MEM
bers and myself belonged to the same
society and, as steward, it was my duty
to visit the sick members once a week
for sick benefit until they were declared
off. That is how i became SO familiar
with the itch.
1.-THE doctors did their best but their
remedies were of no avail whatever.
Then the families tried druggist who
was noted far and wide for his remark
able cures. People came to him from
all parts of the country for treatment
but his medicine made matters still
worse, as a last resort they were advised
by friend to use the Cuticura Remedies.
l am glad to tell you that after a few
days treatment with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was
wonderful and the result was perfect
cure in all cases. -. ,.t. -. .
81 may add that my three bro:Hers,
