"I must tell you my experience on an East bound O. B. & N. B. B. train from Pendleton to LeGrande, Ore.," writes Sam A. Garber, a well known traveling map. "I was in the smoking depart­ ment with some other traveling men when one of them went out into the coach and came back and said, 'There is a woman sick unto death out there.' I at once got up and went out, found her very ill with cramp colic, so bad, in fact, that I was almost afraid to take the risk; her hands and arms were drawn up so you could not straighten them, and with a deathlike look on her her face. Two or three ladies were working with her and giving her whis­ ky. I went to my suit case and got my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I never travel without it), ran to |he water tank, pnt a double doee of the medicine in the glass, poured some water in it and stir­ red it with a pencil; then I had quite a time to get ihe ladies to let me give it to her, but 1 succeeded. I could at once see the effpet and I worked with her, rubbing her hands, and in twenty min­ utes i gave her another doee. By this time we were almost into LeGrande, where I was to leave the train. I gave the bottle to the husband to be used in case another dose should be needed, but by the time the tram ran into LeGrande Hke was all right and I received the thanks of every passenger in the car." for sale by all druggists.

There is said to have been a decline in the resort business this year, due to the alleged deterioration of some of the | resorts, according to a construction ex- I pert j The decline, he stated, is especially to | be noted at Pox Lake, where out of many hotels of former years he claims only a few are first-class, others being in a state of decay. This condition is to be met by means of a season of building never before equalled among the resorts, and Fox Lake is to lead. Features will be the erection of the largest hotel on the lake by an associa­ tion of ministers and church people of Lake county for the accommodation of the law and order element; the build ing, now in progress, of a $10,000 school hnuse and a $10,000 town hall, theater, gymnasium and jail, and the building of wrmierons smaller resorts. The prospects are that the policy of , Pox Lake witt be changed as a reeort | ;wd instead of running on the free and jeasy basis of past years it will | pnt on & basis of law and order, a law | snd order divested of slot machines, ; poker games, bacchanalian revels and unsightly spectacles. If this change is made it will be due to the execution of plans now being en teitained by Rev. Jesse Mitchell of the Fox Lake Congregational church. Dr. Mitchell resides at Ingleside. His plan is to erect a giant temperance hotel for the accommodation of the more quiet and orderly resorters. He is now at work getting capital and church in­ terests in touch with his scheme, and may float his idea in the form of a stock company. For this purpose he will, it is said, see each minister, in Lake county per­ sonally or reach him by letter and try to get either him or some of the more prominent members of his flock inter­ ested in the scheme. It is believed that the establishment of such hotel would leaven the pros ent undesirable elements at Fox Lake and prevent much of the vice that is there. Dr. Mitchell believes that there are enough orderly people who would wish to make their summer homes at Fox Lake to insure the financial success of his project once it is started. Health In the Canal Zone. The high wages paid make it a mighty temptation to our yoUng artisans to join the force of skilled workmen need­ ed to construct the Panama Canal.
