The tcvnslte of Cordova is to be

officials of the Morgan-Ouggenhem syn
dicate have anv idea where the town
will ultimately land? if it lands any
where. It w?s stated In the last issue
of the Herald that the railroad com
pany claims the present townsite,
which, it is said, is so -mill that one
scarcely has room to turn round, for
terminal purposes. It is also stated
that tbe most commodioas section In

Russian-Greek church mission at that

by Russians in Alaska having been se
cured to them by treaty when Russia
coded Alaska to tbe United States.? 1

A SPEEDY AND
PERMANENT CURE
"We express to you herewith our bost
thanks for the cure of our baby from
eczema. Tho eczema np|>carcd when
the child was three months old. We
applied to several doctors and hospitals,
each of which gave us something differ
ent every time, but nothing brought re
lief. A physician rccommcnded a salve
?which we tnrew into the fire after two
days' use as the eczema became worse
bo that the baby scratched bis face. At
last, one of our friends recommended to
us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint
ment. A few days afterwards improve
ment could be noted. Since then we
have used nothing but Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, and now the
baby is six months old and is quite cured.
All that we used was one cake of Cuti
cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Oint
ment, costing in all $1.25. Even tho
poorest man can pay that instead of
throwing it into the doctor's lap. I
myself only make twelve dollars a week
as a teamster, but I recommcnd the
Cuticura Remedies strongly to all moth
era whose children suffer from such dis
eases. They are cheap, harmless and
good. C. 1?. Kara and Wife, 343 East
