Some Forms of Rheumatism Durable

Rheumatism is a disease character
lied by pains in the joints and in the
muscles. The most common forms
are: Acute and Chronic Rheuma-
tism, Rheumatic Headaches, Sciatic
Rheumatism and Lumbago. All of
these types can be helped absolutely
by applying some good liniment that
penetrates. An application of Solan's
Liniment two or three times a day to
the affected par will give instant re-
lief. Sloan's Liniment is good for
pain, and especially Rheumatic Pain,
because it penetrates to the seat of
the trouble, soothes the afflicted part
and draws the pain. 'Sloan's Lini-
ment is all medicine" Get Csc

In discussing the commercial
achievements Of this great age, we
shall approach the subject as the
historian chronicling events. This Sc.
ries will endeavor to record in writ.
ing the supremacy of American men
and Industries In the worlds affairs
and perptuate an appreciation OF our
marvellous Industrial achievements by
presenting simple facts, figures and
comparisons that are overpowering in
their convictions.
America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth TODAY
on account of her supremacy in trans.
portation facilities. The mighty minds
of the age are engaged in the prob.
lens of transportation, and the gxeat.
est men In the history of the worlds
commerce are at the head of the
transportation systems of the United
States.
In the discussion of transportation
let US consider separately our Rail
ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Elk
press, Public Highways, Steamships
Street Railways, Interurban and other
forms of transportation, and this ar
ticle will deal with railways.
The United States has the largest
mileage. the best service, the cheap
est rates, pays labor the highest
wages, and we have the most efficient
iy managed Of the railways of the
world. They stand as monument tc
the native genius of our marvellous
builders, and most of the railroads III
foreign countries have been bull
under American orders.
The railroads represent larger in
vestment of capital than any Other
branch of human activity. The mile

III---Telegrdph and Telephone

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great com
mercial age and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems of this nation crown
the industrial achievements of the
whole world. These twin messengers
of modern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are of American nativity and
while warm from the mind of the in
ventive genius have, under American
supervision, spun network of wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegraphy, in its early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry In the history of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted more powerful
influence upon the civilization Of its
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy of two distinct types OF
American genius-invention and organ
ization.
The industry was peculiarly forum
ate in having powerful inventive intel
lect at it's source and tremendous
minds to direct its organization and
growth. It is the most perfect fruit
Of the tree of American industry and
when compared with its European con
temporaries. it thrills every patriotic
American with pride.
Ambitious youth can find no more In

FUR SEAL HERD SHOWS
 A HEALTHY INCREASE

A census of the seals resorting to the Pribilof islands has been taken by the resident officials of the United States bureau of fisheries. The first part was made at the height of the harem formation in July. From the preliminary figures that have been received by wireless messages it ap- pears that the number of harems on St. Paul island this season was 17S9, against 136 in 1914, an increase of 35 per cent; while on St. George isl- and, the number of harems increased from 24S in 1914 to 362, or 49 per cent. The number of idle bulls on St. Paul Island this year was 546 and on St. George island 127, mak- ing total for both islands of 673, an increase of 501 over 1914.
 The second count made early last August was addressed to the pups. The number of pups born this year was ss,1s7 h St. Paul island and
 15,389 on St" George island, a total of 1O3,526. The birth this year ex- ceeded those of last year by 1O,276, or II per cent. The number of dead pups found was 1910 or 1.7 per cent indicating no abnormal mortality among either the pups or their mothers. The average number of
 ows per harem this year calculated by dividing the total number of pups born Equivalent to the number of breeding cows) by the total number of harems was 46. In 1914 it was ,59.S; in 191, 65.S; and in 1912, 60.4.
 These figures indicate that the Alaska seal herd at the end of the breeding season of 1915 consisted of approximately a third of million animals of both sexes and all ages, an increase of about 10000 over the last year.
 The killing of seals on the Pribi- lof islands was restricted in 1914, through provisions of existing law, to such numbers of male seals as were needed to supply food for the native inhabitants. The Secretary of Commerce fixed upon $500 as the maxmium number which might prop erly be killed for that purpose. There were 1764 seals seals killed on St. Paul island and 971 on St. George Island. The annual shipment of fur seal skins, to the number of 2S84, was made in October, and because of the depression in the fur market, these skins, which had been forward ed to St. Louis remained unsold at the end of the year.

DEER HUNTERS HAVE
 FIGHT WITH WOLVES.

Frank Preuschoff and MT. Dawson had an exhilarating encounter with a bunch of wolves on Friday of last week.
 They started from the Preuschof logging camp, at Beecher Pass, for a deer hunt. Before travelling very far they got into a place that re- sembled wolf den-which it proved to be.
 Pretty soon a wolf head was es- pied in the nearby thicket, and then another and then some more. They were practically surrounded by the beasts. Frank will swear to ten wolves, but they appeared to be more numerous at the time.
 When they had recovered from their surprise, the boys started the fireworks. One wolf was quickly shot dead and three were wounded. Then the varmints retreated a little way and were followed up and three more of them were killed. Dawson fol- lowed the pack on their second re- treat, to see if he couldn't bag some more, and Frank started into skin the belts from those killed. Soon a series of howls came from around the den, and Frank located wolf in the brush whose glaring eyes showed utter disapproval of the "skin game" being worked on the family. He then grabbed his gun and fired sev- eral shots which evidently went wild; then climbed on a stump-in order to get better view. The wolf closed in and finally bolted just past the stump. Frank had the muzzle of his rife within four feet of the wolf's back when he fired, but for some reason the bullet missed it's mark
 Although after this there were no further demonstrations by the wolves in that vicinity, Frank didn't care to finish the skinning job alone, so he went down to the camp and brought Hans back to stand guard until the belts were secured.-Petersbur Re- port.

Look we'll to their record. What thev

Anyone with a bad back; any reader
suffering from urinary troubles, from
kidney ills, should find comforting words
in the following statement:
Isaac Ford of 140l Cascade Ave-, Hood
River. 81 suffered severely from kidney
trouble, lumbago and rheumatic pains,
| tried plasters and linments
and various remedies, but wasn't helped
at all. Terrible pains darted in the small
OF my back and extended into my ankles
and shoulders. Whenever | tried to
stoop, the pain almost killed me and
sometimes | was hardly able to bend
over to fasten my shoes. / had dizzy
spells and any exertion tired me. The
kidney secretions were filled with sedi-
ment. When was told to try Doan's
Kidney Pills, did. Over ten year later
Mr.. Ford said: "0nce in awhile, have
recurrence of kidney trouble but Doan's
Kidney Pills quickly rid me of it."
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's

had. Foster Milburn Co., Props, Buff
