There Is more Catarrh in this sec I
tlon of the country than all other dis j
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supixtsed to be in
curable. For a great many years doc ;
tors pronounced it a local disease and,
prescribed local rem. dies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Scienc ;
has proven catarrh to be a constitu- j
tioual disease and therefore requires)
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrli Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses,
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. H
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send lor circulars aud
testimonials.

Theodore Josephson, r>l."> Seventh
St., Astoria, Oregon, says: "About j
five years ago I used Doan's Kidnej
Fills and derived great benefit. A'
that time I was suffering from se- J
vere pains across my back and loins,
at times so severe that I was unabl<
to stoop or straighten. My kidney
also bothered me a great deal, the si
cretlons generally being too frequent
in passage. At last Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attentioi
and I procured a box. I used then
and as a result my health is now ex
cellent. I take a few doses of Doan's
Kidney Pills now and then, when
feeling any sign of backache and they
never fail to banish the trouble."

COPPER RIVER
As the result of seismic disturbance
or some peculiar condition that has no
yet been fathomed, a glacier lake brokj
loose from Miles glacier on February
11 and not only elevated .Miles lake
twenty feet, washed out several hun
dred yards of the Copper River railway
grade, but left lee piled high on it ai.J
raised the level of Copper river eight
feet from its mouth many miles away.
As quickly as the water had risen it
subsided. And notwithstanding the :
fact that the ice in the Copper river !
was carried away long before the
breakup period, E. C. Hawkins Is re
sponsible for the statement that it did
damage to no extent to the trestle of
the railway, yet it was what will
surely be at all times considered the
severest test the railroad crossing will
ever endure.
.Mr. Hawkins says that there is no
way as yet of deciding just what
?aused the big body of water far back
on tiie glacier to break loose. It may
have perhaps found its way through an
immense crevasse, but lie is more
inclined to believe that a local
earthquake rent an immense fis
sure in the great field of ice
and liberated the waters which
have been held back for hun
dreds of years. At least lie Insists
that in no other way could the escape
of the water have been so rapid.
Mr. Hawkins says that but several
yards of the line was injured and that
trade in some places it is easy to re
move it. ? Seattle P. I.
