Catarrh of The Stomach.
When the stomach is overloaded;
when food is taken into it that fails
to digest, it decays and inflames
the mucous membrane, exposing
the nerves, and causes the glands
to secret mucin, instead of the
natural juices of digestion. This
is called Catarrh of the Stomach.
For years I suffered with Catarrh
of the Stomach, caused by indiges

CHARTER OAK SAW MILL
nt. m 1 k IT" '
Big Plant in Operation Near Alrlie,
This County.
A representative of the Observer
visited the plai t of the Charter
Oak Mill Co., located on A. Wing's
land, about fourf miles from Airlie,
on Thursdav morninff of lflsk wbbIt
and was pleasantly surprised to
find 6uch a busy, noisy paw mill
rf -o -
in operation there. Mr. Fred. J
Oberer, the mauger, though head
over heels in work, was good
enough to drop everything and pi
lot the reporter through the mill,
the while he explained the various
workings of the mill and the dif
ferent purposes for which the out
put is used. Massive timbers for
railroads and dry docks, ex
cellent lumber for; furniture facto
ries, plow beams, wagon felloes,
hounds, bolsters and the like for
wagons and agricultural imple
ments were being turned outsimul
taneously by an intelligent crew of
young men.
Leaving the mill Mr. Oberer es
corted the writer through tall piles
of lumber of divers " leneih.
width and thickness, when he led
D.,
the way to the tali timber, where
the tree fallers and buckers were at
work. The noon hour having ar
rived by this time, an invitation to
dine with the workmen at the
boarding house, 50 yards from the
mill, which is conducted by Mr,
and Mrs. Jeff Wood, where a very
fine meal was discussed with a
sure-enough relish,; the long table
being almost smothered with every
thing the market 'affords. There
are several cottages near the mill,
all occupied by the families of men
at work there or in the woods.
A large, comfortahlfl hunk VimiKA
for the single men is also located
hard by. There is also a large barn
on the premises, where 10 horses,
four cows and hundreds of chickens
together the site is an ideal one in
every particular for a saw mill.
Under the circumstances it is not
surprising that every one employed
by the Charter Oak Mill Co. is hap-
py or contented whether at work or
play-
As the name of the Company im-
Plies oak lo88- of growth
oniV are "eaiea at wis lactory,
and under the abla management of
mr. UDerer is steadily gaining a
national reputation., through the
r - i ...
character of the work turned out,
There is a constant demand for Or
egon oak timber and lumber and
in a great measure the hustling
manager of the Charter Oak Mil
Co. is responsible for this state of
affairs,
Mr. Oberer says he has cut about
all the big oak trees on the Wing
property and that it is his purpose
in the near future to move the en
tire plant to Mrs. Cotell's oak for
est, two and a half miles from Mon
mouth, where he will , have oak
trees in numbers and dimensions
sufficient to keep the mill running
constantly for years to cyme. The
new site will materially reduce the
cost of hauling timber and lumber
to the cars and it has other advan
tages over the present location. A
crew of men commenced to dig a
well and clear land for the new mill
site this week. When in full swing
this industry will be of great bene
fit to Monmouth, as a great many
men are employed and good wages
are paid to each employe
The family of Manager Oberer
is just recovering from a siege of
measles.

DIED IN PORTLAND.
The Remains of Miss Effle Richardson
Taken to Falls City for Burial.
Miss Effie (Fay) Richardson died
in Portland, Friday, July 17, 1903,
3d 31 years, 11 months and 4
days. Her last illness was of short
duration. The remains were brought
to Dallas on Saturday's evening
train, and were taken to Falls City
for burial. The funeral was held
from the Christian Church in Falls
City, Sunday afternoon at 2
ociock. ine services were con
ducted by Eld. A. H. Dodd. and
were largely attended.
Miss Richardson was a daughter
of Mrs. Electa Richardson of Falls
City, and was born in Michigan.
She came with her mother to Ore-
gon a few years ago, and for some
?mf Wa8 engaSed in the millinery
business at Monmouth. She went
East on a visit about a year ago,
and, upon returning to Oregon, en
tered the employ of one of the
large department stores at Port
land as a milliner. She continued
iu. hi9 fojment. up to the time
of her last illness
She was a young lady of more
than average intelligence and busi
ness ability, and endeared herself
to all by her charming manners
and gentle disposition. Her death
is a sad blow to her mother and to
her many friends in Polk county

FINE ANGORA KIDS
Four-Months-Old Bucks Weigh Over
Seventy Pounds.
Eural Northwest. '
Under date of July 5, Mr. U
Grant, Dallas, Oregon, wrote us
that he had just weighed a lot of
kids. The bucks weighed from 55
to 75 pounds, the majority over 70
pounds. The doe kids weighed
from 45 to 60 pounds. All but
three of these kids were born in
the latter part of February and
the fore part of March. All of
them were sired by Phil Sheridan
a Conklin buck which commanded
the admiration of everybody at
the last Dallas show and is un
doubtedly one of the great bucks of
the Pacific Const both individually
and as a sire. As all of the lead
ing breeders have sold the greater
part of their yearling bucks it will
be necessary for a good maay pur
chasers this year to take kids and
those who attend to the matter first
will of course have the best chance.
Mr. Grant has only three yearling
bucks left but his well developed
kids are worth looking after.
The success of Mr. U. S. Grant
in making buck kids between four
and five months old weigh from 55
to 75 pounds, and doe kids of the
same age, from 45 to 60 pounds,
strengthens our belief that it will
prove a comparatively easy matter
to increase the weight of Angoras.
Mr. Grant has not been breeding
tor size but for a fleece of the best
quality. He has not been looking
for large bucks, but for bucks
which had the best covering of mo
hair of the best quality and with
the least posBilbe kemp. The in
creasing weight had come mainly
from good feeding. As was noted
in this paper some time ago, his
goats received unusually good care j
and feed the past fall, winter and
spring. Ine kids had a good start
before they were born, and have
had all that they could utilize to
good advantage since. The figures
tell the story of the result. There
is no reason to doubt the efficacy
of liberal feeding in increasing the
size of Angora goats. It was gen
erations of poor food which dwarf
ed the Shetland and Iceland ponie6
and the Indian ponies on our
plains, while the massive draft
breeds originated in the Lowland
countries of Europe where feed was
ample. The small Merino sheep
comes from the poor pastures of
Spain and the big mutton breeds
from the rich and abundant past
ures of England. The Angora goat
in its original home has for an un
known period of time been living
on scanty rations for the greater
part of the year. When removed
to countries in which its food sup
plies are more abundant and more
regular it will in accordance with
the nature of things increase its
size, it will no doubt be found
possible to hasten the maturity of
the Angora goat in the same way
that the maturity of beef cattle has
been accelerated. Both of these
improvements are likely to come
about with little effort on the part
of breeders.. The good care which
all ambitious breeders willgi ve their
goats will of itself tend to bring
about both increase of size and
hastened maturity. To keep the
mohair improving in quality and
increasing in quantity per goat are
the problems which call for th
the best work of which the breeder
is capable.
J. L. Smith, manager of the Ha
zelwood Farm of Spokane, writes
that he will be at the Oregon State
Fair this fall with two car loads of
fine stock. There will be dairy
cows, hogs and poultry. The Ha
zelwood people will make an espec
ially fine display of Poland China
swine. As there will be plenty of
competition in this line, the swine
department will be worth coming
across several states to Bee. It will
be without doubt the best collection
of pure bred swine ever collected
on this coast, and above the stand-
rd of most of the states. Salem

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
Seftator Doliiver of Iowa Will Favor
That Sum for Lewis and Clark
Fair.
United States Senator Doliiver,
of Iowa, who is now in Oregon, was
entertained the other uight at a
dinner given at the Ailington Club
by Hon. II. W. Seott, of the Ore-
gonian. In response to a toastgiv
en there by Senator Mitchell, Mr.
Doliiver said Oregon should have
and would get an appropriation of
million dollars from Congress for
the Lewis and Clark Fair.
The Oregon delegation has felt a
ittle timid about asking for that
mount but with a-few men with
the ability and influence of Senat
or Doliiver favoring the allowance
there will not be any great difficul-
ty
in securing the appropriation.
Senator Doliiver has a very high
opinion of the possibilities of the
great west. He says no other part
of the country could find recogni
tion for an appropriation next year
or a fair but the North West. The
isloiical events associated with
the Lewis and Clark Expo.sition
will t arry enough influence to get
the appropriation.
F. C. BAKER NOW CHAIRMAN.
Will Conduct Republican Politics in
Oregon Until Next Convention.
Hon. F. C. Baker has been elect
ed chairman of the Republican
State Committee to fucceed W. F.
Matthews, who resigned on being
appointed United States Marshal
for Oregon. Mr. Baker first came
before the public as a politican
when he was nominated for state
printer in 1886. He held the of
fice of state printer for eight years
and until 1894. Jiist what effect
Mr. Baker's election will have on
politics in Multnomah county is a
question very hard to answer and
one about which much questioning
is being made. He was evidently
the choice of both Senator Mitchell
and Senator Fulton. And even
Mr. Williamson seems to have f It
very kindly toward his election, so
it would seem the Mitchell wing
of Multnomah Republicans claim
the honor of the new chairman.
Some of the hop growers of La
fayette who were holding their last
year's hope for 30 cents sold the
crop last week for 19 cents.
The news came to town Friday
morning that the cries of a panther
had been heard in the woods in the
vicinity of the Stahlhusch Island.
For to hours during the morning
of Friday, the air in the vicinity
resounded with uueai thly calls and
yells, generally described as resem
bling a panther in deep trouble.
Subsequent investigation showed
that the noise was made by Assessor
Bush, who tried to find his way to
the island for the purpose of as
sessing the Stahlbuich boys. He
could neither find the boat along
the bank nor his way in the woods,
and hence the panther yells. He
returned to Corvallis without find
ing his victims. Corvallis Times.
