Uric Acid! Ever since the discovery of Scheele in 1775 that uric acid was found within the body —most eminent physicians agree that rheumatism is’ cauiSd by it; also many distressing symptoms as headache, pain in back, stomach distress, swollen feet and ankles, gout, etc. It was Dr. Pierce of the Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N.Y., who discovered a new agent ' called Anuric, a harmless remedy that if taken before meals will carry off the uric acid from the system ana in this way the pains and aches, the creaky joints an<T all the distressing symptoms of rheumatism and other maladies disappear. You can easily prove this yourself, by obtaining Anuric at almost any drug store, or send .Dr. Pierce 10c. for trial package.

TAPS RICHTRACT

RAILROAD EXTENSION IN OREGON OF IMPORTANCE. ■■ ' «• ______ ' ll Presented Big Problem for Engineers and Cost Much Money, but Will Open Up Immense Reserves . of Timber.

Norailroad development in the Northwest in the last decade has opened up greater possibilities for the rapid development of that part of the state than the recent completion of a $13,000,000 extension into the Coos Bay country of southwestern Oregon. Here was an isolated section of Pacific coast territory, possessing a harbor that may some day rival that of San Francisco, and tapping a land rich in timber, “mtnerals, and farm lands, some 400 miles south of Portland. Up to the time that this extension was opened, it has been completely shut off from railroad connection with the rest of the world and was reachable only by sea, or by a difficult overland route through mountainous country by stage from a point oh the main line of the railroad into California.

Despite these handicaps, the towns of Marshfield and North Bend, occupying positions similar to San Franeiseo on San Francisco bay, grew rapidly in population and prosperity. Thick forests of huge timber in adjacent forest lands made lumbering the chief industry of the bay, with gigantic sawmills convenient to the water. Then there was the pulp business, which in these days of European war has taken on a new importance, undone of the largest mills in the West located itself on the bay. Congress appropriated nearly SBOO,OOO to the improvement of the bay channel. . The agricultural resources of the country, comprising as it did vast given over to many different crops, attracted attention.

So promising was this great territory that the railroad company, the Southern Pacific, decided to stretch its lines to the bay and end the isolation that had existed for so many years. With a big problem before them, the railroad construction engineers decided to build a spur from the main line at Eugene, although the distance by the “line of least resistance”~was at least 120 miles and the mountainous territory brought back recollections of the building of the old Central Pacific nearly half a century ago in the early days of the West. There were many rivers to be crossed, mountains to be penetrated, and uncertain, marshy ground to be filled in or trestled.

But modern railroad engineering -balks at nothing,_eyen removing mountains when necessary. OwingTo the lay of the land, the surveyors and engineers decided that the easiest way was to run the spur directly west from Eugene to about 50- miles and turn southwest, gradually approaching the coast and nearly reaching it at Coos Bay. There were the Suislaw und Umpqua rivers and the bay itself to cross, but that could not be avoided. The construction of the line was started The result of this work is now apparent and the Coos Bay extension was officially opened last August. The exact distance between Eugene and Marshfield by rail is 121.6 miles. To construct the new extension, it was

necessary to build many tunnels and bridges, besides the roadbed. In fact, the total length of the nine tunnels is 13,925 feet, while the total steel used in 31 bridges required was 3,134 feet. Five and one-half miles of trestles -were built, while the other, supplies used included 18,000 tons of track steel. 9.100 tons of bridge Steel, 40,000 yards of concrete, 50.000 barrels of cement, Uhd 20,000,000 feet of Oregon hr tjinbaß*"-'-.,'. - ~ The time required for the trip between Portland and the Coos Bay country was cut down perceptibly by the extension. Another significant feature of the extension is that of the* freight movement. Heretofore it was possible to send a car from Corvallis, in the same state, to New York in the same time that it took a San Francisco or Portland shipper to get his consignments into Coos Bay. Now Coos Bay receives its freight in two days. Perhaps the. most interesting fact about the new country, which is h third larger than the state qf Rhode Island, is the Immense timber reserve it opens up-to the rest of the country. There artvapproxltnately 21,000.000,000 feet standing, the larger part of it privately owned. It is chiefly fir , and spruce, tremendous in height and girth, and characteristic of the wonderful timber .resources so abundant Jn-.that of the country jf-’Popu-lar Mechanics Magazine.

FERRYBOAT OF GREAT SIZE

One Operating Between California Points ts Claimed to Be Easily —the Largest in World, A vessel which is claimed to be the largest ferryboat in the world carries trains across Carquinez straits, between Port Costa and Benicia, Cal., a distance of one mile. It is the property: of the Southern Pacific railroad company and is 433 feet in length over all, 116 feet beitm over guards. 66 feet molded beam, and measures 3,800 tons. The deck has four train tracks with a capacity of 36 freight cars or 24 passenger cars, and two locomotives. Two sets of oilburning engines, each of 2.500 horse power, turn a paddle wheel on each side, by which the boat can be swung around in its own length. Hull and superstructure art* of wood and contain 2,000,000 feet of lumber. There are single timbers measuring 26 inches square and 66 feet long, and others 18 inches square-and 116 feet long, used Trr the hull.—Popular Mechanics Magazine.

WOULD BUILD LARGE TUNNEL

Engineer Makes Proposition to Bore Hole Thirty Miles Long Through ' the Cascade Mountains. The greatest railroad tunnel project ever proposed has been recently suggested in an engineering publication by Brig. Gen. H. M. Chittenden, wlm is an authority on such matters, and -he proposes to bore a 30-mile hole through the Cascade mountains, with a Summit elevation Of no more than 1,000 feet above the sea level. General Chittenden suggests, after a careful study of the locality, that the best location would be at the point where the Columbia river, In Its great southern swing through the state of Washington on the eastern side of the Cascade mountains, comes nearest Puget sound. This point is found at the mouth of the Wenatchee river. The,distance between tide water at Everett or Seattle and the Columbia at Wenatchee is barely 90 miles. The valleys of the Wenatchee on the east side of the Cascades and Skykomish on the west side are almost in direct line to each other, and they lead by possible grades not exceeding 6 per cent to points on their respective sides of the mountains separated by a distance of only 30 miles. To expedite the work, four shafts from 1,100 feet to 2,320 feet in depth would be sunk along the line of the tunnel, and it is estimated that with these four shafts the 30 miles of tunnel could be put through in five and a half years at a total cost of $43,237,000.

Little Things in Railroading.

It is the little things in railroading, as in every other business, that make profit or loss. Who would think of the stopping and starting of trains as being an important item of expense to a railroad? President Willard of the B. & O. has figured that it costs’an average of $1.60 to stop a passenger train. When the air brakes are applied extra coal is needed to generate the steam which compresses the air. The car wheels, the brake shoes and the rails —all feel wear and tear in stopping. In getting under headway after astop there is unusual expenditu re of st ea m aga Ih, and more wea r and tear on the equipment. On a train with 17 stops it would require 30 through passengers to pay the cost of starting and stopping the train. —Leslie's Weekly.

Highest Bridge in America.

The highest bridge In America is the Pacific railroad bridge over the Rio Grande river,. 26 .miles west of San Jose, in Costa Rica. The base of the rails is 340 feet above the surface of the—water nniLthe main span of the arch is 448 feet B’4 inches. There are six higher bridges in the world, the highest one heing at St. Glustina via-, duct, which crosses the Noce Sehlucht 1 n southern Tyrol at_an. elevation _of_4s3 feet. This is a highway bridge; but the next one in order is a railroad bridge known as the Fades' viaduct, which crosses the valley of the Sioule river, near Vguriat. France. The base of the rails is nearly 435 feet above the bed of the stream.

World's Longest Bridges.

The longest bridge, irrespective of t length of span, or class of structure. is said to be the pile trestle bridge on the Louisville and Nashville railroad across Lake Pontchartrain. near New Orleans. It is about 21 long. The longest truss bzidge In this country is the Illinois Central bridge over the rlverv at Cairo, 111., the total length of metal structure being 10,560 feet. The Tay viaduct. In Scotland. 10.800 feet long, is the only metal structure that exceeds it Jn length, elevated rallrohd structures in cities not being considered In this comparison.—Railway Age Gazette.

THIS DRUGGIST KNOWS BEST KIDNEY MEDICINE There is no medicine which we handle that gives such good results as your Swamp-Root. Many of our customers have informed us at different time's that they have derived great benefit from its use. There was one case in particular which attracted a great deal of attention in this neighborhood early last Spring, as the gentleman’s life was despaired of and two doctors treating him for liver and kidney trouble were unable to give him any relief. Finally a specialist from St. Louis was called in but failed to do him any good. I at last induced him to try your Swamp-Root and after taking it for three months, he was attending to his business as usual and is now entirely well.
