not a fact that the goods shipped on those

steel Corporation roads AMI the Hill road

Stanley asked.
Mr.. Gary insisted there was not and
added that the rates maintained now were

purpose Of getting between the restraint

Sherman law on the one hand and de-
structive competition on the other. He
had never stood for unchangipg prices,
he declared, but against wide fuctua
tions. The recent action Of the Repub-
lie Iron and Steel Company in reducing
prices. he said. was because officials of
that company had decided not to coop

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

'T have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as nurse.
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every in
stance, I always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that Of lady friend
of mine who, when child, was af-
ficted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not go to school as the disfigure-
ment looked terrible. told her to get
at once a set Of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only one set she was
perfectly WELL
"a grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one Of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms Of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
/ have also seen them cure children
Of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck land after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and I used the Cuticura Oint-
ment. 1t made hic arm as timber and
nice, whereas it was quite stiff before
began to apply the Ointment.
Last May l had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side of the nail was edging right
down in the side Of my toe. / cut
the nail out of the cavity it made. and
of course applied the Cuticura ONT
ment to the part affected. It soothed
1t and in less than ten nights 1t was
all healed through constant use OF the
Ointment. Ten days ago I had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. have just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she is pleased
with the results and is recovering
nicely. I will gladly furnish the
names of the people referred to above

The Oldest KIlckitat.

Jake Hunt, the Oldest living Klicki-
tat Indian known, lies at deaths door
at his home adjoining this town east
Of here. The old Indian is reputed to
be more than 100 years Of age.
Years ago an Indian village stood
where the Hunt family now carries on
a general farming business. All that
is left of the old settlement Is little
church, a totem pole and numerous
mounds where the Klickitats lie who
could not reach the century mark Old
Jake says that this was the Indians
paradise before the advent Of early
white settlers.
Jake Hunt is destined not to die a
poor Indian. His lands are as rich and
productive as any in the valley and
command a high price. He Is said to
have married seven times during his
long career, but there will be only a
widow and a few children to fall heir
to his valuable property.-Husum Cor
