CHAPTER VI.
In a Wild Country.

" ATE on the following morning
a O'Neirs expedition was landed
at the deserted fishing station of
Omar. thirty miles down the
sound from Cortez. From this point
its route lay down the bay to open
water and thence eastward along the
coast In front of the Salmon river delta
some forty miles to Kyak. This latter
stretch would have been well nigh i'm
possible for open boats but for the
fact that the numerous mud bars and
islands thrown out by the river afford.
ed a sheltered course. These inside
channels, though shallow, were of suf-
ficient depth TO allow small craft to
navigate and had long been used as
route to the coal fields
Appleton, smiling and cheerful, was
the first member OF the party to an
pear at the dock that morning, and
when the landing had been effected at
Omar he showed his knowledge of the
country by suggesting a short cut
which would save the long row down
10 the mouth of the sound and around
into the delta. Immediately back of
the old cannery, which occupied gap
in the mountain rim. lay narrow
lake, and this. he declared. held an out
let which led into the Salmon river
flats. BY hauling the boats over into
this body Of water-a task made easy
by the presence Of a tiny tramway
with one dilapidated push car which
had been a part Of the cannery equip
ment-it would be possible to save
much time and labor.

Well Known Remedy
Believes Chronic Case
important to Dispose Of Waste From
the Stomach With
Regularity. 80

People frequently attribute to ia +
ure of the digestive organs conditions
that are primarily due to inactive
bowels, and apply remedies that from
their very nature are more apt to az
gravate than to relieve the disorder
When the bowels act regularly the
stomach is in better shape to perform
its allotted tasks and can usually be
depended upon. To keep the bowels
in condition there is no more effec-
tive remedy than the combination OF
simple laxative herbs known as DR..
Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin which is sold
in drug stores for fifty cents bottles
DIR. Caldwell has prescribed this
remedy in his practice for over a
quarter of century and it is today
the standard household remedy in
thousands of homes. Mr. Thomas De.
Loach, with the Department of the In
terror, Office of Indian Affairs, at
