S.S.S. gives NeuV Strength
If you require tonic you should
by all means try S.S.S.-this long
established medicine acts by stimu-
lating the secretions of the stomach
-. reviving the appetite :. aiding
digestion E. regenerating hemo- Z
globin restoring the red-blood-
Cells-and builds greater resistance
against infection and disease.
SS.S. helpfulness is illustrated by
this fact - our records show that
nearly one-half of those who have
taken it, for the first time, do so
upon the recommendation of some
friend who has been benefited. Can
there be any stronger recommended
ton for its merit and usefulness
than this?
A distinctive thing about S.S.S. is
that it is made from fresh roots,
barks and herbs it is readily
absorbed by the system. Another
thing is that its efficiency has been
proved by scientific tests and by its
use for more than 100 years. 1t is
safe Tonic to take.
S. S. S. is an economical way to
health. Try it yourself. Get S.S.S.
from any drug store. In two sizes:
regular and dOuble-the latter is
more economical and is sufficient
for two weeks treatment. 1t may
be the means of bringing better
health and happiness to you.

The first step in this direction
is to restore the hemoglobin content

When these precious red-blood-
cells are lowered in number, due to

Life of Valley Woman
Featured in Seattle Paper

Editors note-The following article,
concerning the life of Mrs. Harriet
Hastings, well-known resident of East
Hanford, is reprint from the Seattle
Sunday Times, of April 100
Her first night in Seattle shortly
after the fire of 1889 has left vivid
picture In the mind of Mrs. Harriet
is. (Thompson) Hastings, 81 years DID,
now living with her daughter at Han
ford, Wash on the Columbia River
Mrs. Hastings remembers that she ar
rived in Seattle at night one month
after the fire. The Hastings family
could find no place to stay that night,
so man in charge Of freight house
loaned them some mattresses and al
lowed them to sleep in the building.
In the recollections of a life filled
with adventure, she points out that
her grandfather, John Thompson,
fought in the Revolutionary War in
Capt. Jacob Weaver's company, 10th
Pennsylvania Regiment, commanded
| by Col. Richard Hampton.
Mrs. Hastings was the youngest of
ten children and was born on a farm
near Quincy, ILL.,, February IA, 1885.
Her father made shoes for his chill
dren He worked at night by candle
light, sewing calf hide into footwear
There were no matches and flint was
used to strike fire. She recalls max
ing occasional trips to neighborhing
houses before sunrise to borrow fire for
cooking breakfast. Fireplaces were the
only means of cooking In later years
it was a gala day in the Hastings
family when their first stove was set
up in the house.
When Mrs Hastings was little girl
it was a great event for her to ride
the steamers that piled the Missis-
sippi River. There was much rivalry
between shippers on different boats and
often there would be races to see which
would reach their destination first
In the winter of 1855 she had her
first train ride on flat car when
the Chicago, Burlington g. Quincy line
was built in Illinois.
In March, 1861, she was married to
James Hastings, a young business man
of Mendoza, III. That year was the be-
ginning of the Civil War.
In 1876 Mrs. Hastings and her hus-
band attended the Centennial Celebra-
ton in Philadelphia, leaving their five
children at home. They were eating
dinner in a hotel there one day when
news of the massacre of General Gus
ter's soldiers arrived During their stay
they also heard the old Liberty Bell
ring for the last time and the new
one for the first time

After few months in SkagWay Mrs.
Hastings moved back to Seattle and
lived at the Rainier Hotel at Fifth and

built shortly after the Seattle fire.
She lived in Seattle few years and
then reports of the Priest Rapids
country induced her to move again.
Mrs. Hastings and her daughter, Mrs.
Harriet H. Joyce, with whom she now
lives, took up homesteads near the

The family moved to Dodge City,
Kas., when great herds of buffalo
roamed the rolling prairies. Mrs. Hast
ings recalls that at one time all traf-
fic on the Santa Fe Railroad was
stopped for three days while a great
herd of buffalo was crossing the tracks.
Reports of the wonderful land ana
climate in the Pacific Northwest
lured the Hastings from their Kansas
home. They came directly to Seattle
and following are some of the scenes
that have been stamped indelibly in
the mind Of Mrs. Hastings:
Second and Yesler was ankle deep in
sand. There were no buildings stand
ing there, but the stores and cafes
were in big tents, McDougall & South
wick occupying one Of the large can
vases. At Second and Union there was
a large pasture where A. A. Denny kept
his COW. She saw Henry L. Yesler
many times at the first opera house
below Yesler Way A wagon road
wound around Lake, Union and small
launches carried freight and people
across the lake. Green Lake was bor-
dered with dense timber ard cid not
have any roads around it.
The Hastings family moved to Port
Angeles for a few years where the
youngest daughter died. Then they
moved back to Seattle and Mr.. Hast
ings succumbed there three years later
Mrs. Hastings then moved to Ross
land B. c., as that country was boom
ing and she had a fondness for new
territory
Gold was discovered about that time
in Alaska and the residents of Ross
land deserted the town almost over
night to join the rush. Mrs. Hastings

to Alaska the engines in the steamship
stopped one night and morning re-
vealed the vessel high and dry on a
beach 1900 yards out of her course.
The ship was floated in high tide
without damage and resumed her jour-
ney north.
During Mrs. Hastings sojourn in
skagway "Soapy" Smith and his gang
were making trouble for miners as.
they came in with gold. On the after
noon of July residents of the town
held a protest meeting on a dock.
During the parley "Soapy," armed with
shotgun, went rushing into the
crowd The town marshal stopped him
and after an argument they both fired
at once. "Soapy" fell dead and the
marshal was fatally wounded.

all come out all right.
"The Priest Rapids Valley has Won
derful climate and good long grow
ing season, being about IA days earlier
than most of the fruit districts of the
state.
There is a good opportunity here for
1000 or more new settlers. With few
newcomers can make fine home here.
Even ordinary farming, including
dairying, is better here than almost
anywhere else. Corn, wheat, barley,
oats, potatoes and alfalfa all grow Won

country for gardening-tomatoes, all

what we need more than anything
else is more people, Our water supply
is unlimited. A large body of the land
in the valley gets it's irrigation water
from the canal. Some pump from wells
and others pump directly from the Col

81 came to this valley with my family
in the fall of 1923. In 1924 we traded
for a 10 acre orchard and our first
crop of apples packed out about 1900
boxes. The next year it was a little
better for we produced 1000 boxes and
in 1926 we boosted the yield to 1000
boxes. In 1927 we purchased II acres
more of orchard land, paying $500
for it, but our crop in 1923 was light.
In 1929 our yield was 5000 boxes and
in 1880 we increased it to $4,000 boxes.
I estimate our crop this year will be
about the size of that of 1880.
TN 1880 we planted 1874 cherry trees
and last spring IS nectarines. In addi-
ton to the orchard, we have 80 acres
more of land, 40 acres of which we
are just beginning to farm. Since we
have been here we have sold two small
tracts of land, one of acres and the
other 81 acres. We were paid $1,000 for
each of these tracts.
I'm order to keep our overhead OPP
GRAFTON costs at a minimum, we went
Codding, few years ago and built
packing house on our place and in it
we pack all of our own fruit as well
as that Of some of our neighbors. We
have our own label and stand behind
our fruit. We are learning something
new about the fruit game all the time,
for we figure that one never gets too
old to learn.
"In addition to our fruit crop we
raise our own hay, potatoes, lots of
garden stuff and corn, as we'll as pork,
eggs and poultry. We do all Of our own
work, employing help only during
spraying, harvesting and packing. An
other cut in the cost of our orchard
operations was made in 1880 when we
installed stationary spray outfit at
a cost of $1,000.
Call branches of the farming indus
try have their ups and downs; dairying,
wheat raising and fruit growing. Prices
were not high enough in 1881 to re-
turn any profit but the only thing we
can do is keep right on and it will

Herman Heidemam is one Of the substantial
farmers in the White Bluffs community. He not
only believes in the valley but practises what he
breaches by constantly extending his farming OPP
erations In the belief that his ideas of the possb
tiles here would be Of interest, not SO much per-
haps to those who live here as to non-residents,
the Spokesman has asked him to tell Of his exper-
fences while resident of the valley. This is his
story:
