CHILDREN INJURED.
Ordinary catharties and Pills and Harsh
Physie Cause DISTRESSING compIaints.

You cannot be over careful In the selec.
ton Of medicine for children. Only the
very gentlest bowel medicine should ever
be given, except in emergency cases. Or.
binary pills, cathartics and purgatives are
apt to do more harm than good. They
may cause gripping, nausea and other dis
tressing after effects that are frequently
misunderstanding.
We personally recommend and guaran-
tee Rexall Orderlies as the safest and most
dependable remedy, which we know, for
constipation and associate bowel disor'
ders. We have such absolute faitn In the
virtues Of tits remedy that We sell 1t on
our guarantee Of money back In every In
stance where it fails to give entire satis-
faction, and we urge all In need OF such
medicine to try 1t at our risk.
Rexall 0rderlies are eaten just like can.
dy, are particularly prompt and agreeable
in action, may be taken at any time, day or
night; do not cause dIarrhoea, nausea
gripping, excessive looseness, or other un:
desirable effects. They have very milo
but positive action upon the organs with
which they come in contact, apparently
acting as a regulative tonic upon the re-.
laxed muscular coat Of the bowel, thus
overcoming weakness, and aiding to re.
store the bowels to more vigorous anC
healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies commonly completely
relieve constipation, except of course whef
OF surgical character. They also tend tt
overcome the necessity OF constantly tax
ing laxatives to keep the bowels In norma
condition. Three sizes OF packages, II
cents, Is cents, and so cents. Remember
you can obtain Rexall Remedies in Able

After Grippe
or any Sickness
Vinol Creates Strength
HEIDI &c DD00E
HERE IS PROOF

"After a long attack of Grippe,
Mrs. Vaught seemed unable to re-
cover her strength. She was very
weak and had no appetite. VI
MOL rapidly improved her condi-
tion and restored her to health. 7
sincerely recommend its use during
convalescence or any run down
condition"
JUDGE C.. N. VAUGHT,
Huntsville, Ala
Miss Adelaide Gamm, of Water
town, Wis, writes, "After a severe
attack of the Grippe, my system
was in a very weakened, nervous,
rundown condition. I took VI
MOL with the best of results,
and it made me feel better and
stronger than have been for years."
We have never sold in our store
a more valuable health restorer for
weak and run down persons than
VINOL, and we ask such people in
this vicinity to try VINOL with
the understanding that their money
will be returned if it does not do
all we claim for it.

TOWNSHIP BOARD OF ASSESSORS,

Messrs. P. A. Cheatham and w. H.
Long of the Equalization Board OF
Abbeville city were busy all last week
going over the returns for the city
They have been very much handicap
ped in their work by the fact that
very few people have made their re-
turns. 1t is estimated that not more
than one-third have made returns.
The law prescribes a penalty OF so
per cent. for not making returns. All
the Township boards have been in
session during the past week, and the
County Board has been called to
meet here on Tuesday the 26th. The
County Board is made up of the chair

AVALON READY
FOR LAUNCHING
will Be lowed to San Fran
cisco to Have Machinery
Installed

HOQUIAM, July 19.-Early next
week the steam schooner Avalon,
built for the Hardwood Lumber COM
pany, will glide from the ways of the
Matthews shipyards in this city.
Three weeks later it is expected she
will be ready for machinery and will
be towed at once to San Francisco
to have this part of her equipment in
stalled.
The Avalon, which will carry about
100000 feet Of lumber. has accom-
modations for q passengers and a
tonnage OF about $50. is the first of a
fleet of three steam schoOners to be
built here this year.
Siskiyou Completing
The Siskiyou. for the Z. X. Wood
Lumber company, is now more than
half completed at the Matthews yard,
AS soon as the Avalon leaves the
ways the keel will be laid for a
freight steamer of the same size for
Charles H. Higgins of San Francisco.
The Siskiyou will be for freight only
also. She will be 10 feet longer than
the Avalon and will be the largest
boat ever built on Grays Harbor. The
average cost of these three vessels
will be $125,O0. The SiskiyOu will be
ready to launch early in October and
the Higgins boat about the first OF
the year

! and 80, the assessed valuation of
which in 1910-11 was $S1, ,100 while
in 1312-after the cruise-it is plac-
ed on the tax rolls at $345,O06, or
an increase of $263,906 in taxable val
uation. How much of this is attri-
buted to that misunderstanding"
about a fire would probably be
brought out in an investigation.
This sample township should be
sufficient of itself to awaken the av.
erage taxpayers throughout the coun-
ty to the necessity of concerted &C.
tion if they desire a square deal. Here
We find that two owners in one town
ship have for years been escaping
taxation upon property now shown to
be property assessed at $364,O0O.
When it is considered that the equal
lied valuation of all the improved
lands in Chehalis county, exclusive
of city and town property, in 1910
was but $221,194, the mystery of bur
densOme taxation to the small owner
in this county becomes a mystery no
longer, and the magnitude of tax dOdg-
ing stands revealed When it is re-
membered that the Weyerhaeuser
Timber Co. owns $4,000 acres in this
county, out of total of 82O,646 acres
on the assessment rolls of 1910, an
idea may be formed of the cause that
places the heavy burden on shoulders
least able to bear it-when the own
ers of one-fourth the acreage of the
county make a business of lodging
80 per cent of their share of taxes.
This subject is of vital interest to
every individual and firm that does
not receive the immunity; the farm
er. logger, merchant, everybody whose
property is in sight of the assessor.
1t evils aside from the debauchery
of county officials, are numerous, not
the least of which is found to be in
the timidity created through a fear
on the part of many that to give
voice to their dissatisfaction would
deprive them of the little favors they
are led to imagine they receive at
the hands of the taxing authorities

STATE WILL SELL LAND
Tide, Shore, Timber and Agricultural
Properties to Be Dispopsed Of.
200 Acres in Aberdeen

OLYMPIA. July 19.-In September
the state land board will offer for
sale large amount of school lands
located in various sections of the
state, the applications for purchase in
cluding tide. shore, timber and agri.
cultural lands. 1t is also proposed to
put up at the same time if possible
200 acres of land in the city of Aber-
deem. which will be plated into five
acre tracts.
The board finds that the land is
worth more than 500 an acre and
therefore under the law it will be
sold in small subdivisions. Owing
to the fact that much of the property
is swampy. the state is selling it in
five-acre tracts instead of plating il
in lots. 1t is possible that the state
will also put up some plated land in

LONE BANDIT
HOLDS UP AUTO
Two Demonstrators of Auti !
Fire Appartus Held Up
as They Enter City

Robt. Bowman, Of Portland, and J.
Fonnesbeck, of San Francisco, were
in the city Friday, demonstrating the
fire apparatus of the White Automo-
bile company, and the two men had
quite a thrilling experience as they
were coming into Aberdeen the night
before. They were driving slowly at
the east end of the elevated roadway
when they We're held up by a lone
highwayman, who with a drawn re-
volver, ordered them to hold up their
hands. The order was Obeyed prompt
ly, and the robber ordered Bowman
to search his companion for money
and turn it over. Knowing that Fon-
nesbeck had considerable money in
an inside pocket, Bowman took the
small change, amounting to So, from
his vest pocket and gave it to the
bandit
The robber appeared very nervous
and was plainly new at the business.
After Bowman assured him he had
no money, he ordered the men back
in the car, and told them to turn
about and go back toward Montesano.
The machine was too long to turn
in the road. and he told them to
back up. At this juncture, Clarence
Cook, boom man for the Wishkah
Boom company, who lives near where
the ho1d-up occurred, came out to see
what was delaying the automobile.
thinking perhaps it was in trouble.
AS he approached, the robber turn
ed his gun on him and ordered hands
up Instead of obeying the order,
Cook darted behind the truck, his
action so disconcerting the bandit
that he turned and fed up the road.
AS the lights of the car fell full
upon the highwayman, a fairly good
description Of him was given to the po-
lice, and at noon, City Detective X. Y.
Church arrested Guy L. Rogers, who
was identified by Bowman and Fonnes-
beck as being of the same build. and
wearing similar clothes as the high
wayman. He was released after be-
ing held few hours, there being no
evidence to warrant his being held.
Rogers says he arrived in Aberdeen
Thursday from Cour d'Alene, Idaho,
to work in a saw mill, that being his
avocation
