G THE. MORNING- OREGOMAX TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11. 1908. l C. HUE! IS HOMETO REGISTER Oregon Congressman Likes Hard Work of Committee-Room Duties. SITS AMONG THE LEADERS Makes I'ortiinate Drawius for Scat. Speaks in Tornis oT Praise for Olher Members of Delegation. Talks Matters Political. SALEM, Or., Feb. 10. (Special.) For the purpose of writing his name In the registration books of Marlon County, as required by the Oregon registration law, Congressman V. C. Hawley arrived in fialem today. Ho will return to Washing ton Wednesday evening. Like the other members of the Oregon delegation, he thinks' the law should be amended so as to permit a Senator or Congressman to register without crossing the continent twice and losing two weeks of time from his post of duty. "There is plenty of hard work in being a Congressman, but I am accustomed to hard work and like it." said Mr. Hawley, this evening, when discussing affairs at Washington. "Usually a new Congress man is placed upon what might be called dead' committees, which have no work to do. but I was fortunate in securing a place on two very active committees, on Agriculture and Claims. To the Commit tee on Agriculture are referred all mat ters relative to the Department of Agri culture, a department that is every year becoming more important to the indus trial ait'airs of the Nation. That the work of the committee is not small may be judged from the fact that we hold two sessions of two hours each, every day. The Committee on Claims must invest igate and report upon nil claims against Hie Government referred to it. and, as every one knows, these claims are numerous. Senntor Fulton Popular. "In the selection of seats in the House of Representatievs I was fortunate in securing a plare close to the .Republican leaders, Dalzeil. Payne and Tawney. This enabled me to keen in close touch with what is going on, to learn the methods of doing business and to get acquainted with Influential members of the House. All t"hese circumstances help, for every Congressman must begin at the bottom and work his way up. "The Oregon delegation has been for tunate all around on committees. Senator Fulton is very popular and, as one of the Senators who made committee assign ments, was able to secure good places for Senator Bourne, who was a new Sena tor. It is very rare for a Senator to make as rapid progress as Fulton has. I have frequently heard it remarked that he is the ablest Senator from the Pacific Coast. Congressman Ellis' is in good position for advancement because of his wide acquaintance, formed during previous t-Tvice in the House. "One of the most important of recent events in Congress was the announcement that tariff revision will be undertaken im mediately after election. While I be lieve in a protective tariff, I also believe in revision- of schedules from time to time, net changing conditions may require. The tariff should protect the American laborer and also the American manufacturer to the extent of a reasonable profit. When the tariff protects the manufacturer in the enjoyment of an exorbitant profit, it should ba reduced. Harbor Bill Must AValt. "As already reported in the press dispatches, it Is quite certain that there will be no rivers and harbors bill at tnis session for the reason that tlfere was an S0,000,000-blll passed at the last session. My bill appropriating; $300,000 for state and Federal owner ship of locks at Oregon City is in the hands of the rivers and harbors com mittee and will probably be held until t lie next Nossion of this Gongress, when we hope to get the appropria tion." Mr. HaWley says that in Washington the opinion is that the Republican presidential nomination is still "Up in the air." Judging ' by popular feeling in. the East, Roosevelt could have been re-elected by an overwhelming; ma jority if he had not determined not to be a candidate again. On the status of cho Cleeton appointment, Mr. Haw ley is uninformed, for he left Wash ington before the other members of the delegation decided to recommend Mr. Cleeton. STATE AHEAD OF RAILROAD Beats Milwaukee to Right of Way and Scores a Good Deal. OL.YMP1A, Wash., Feb. 10. (Special.) The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail way has agreed to pay the state nearly SMUW) just because the State Highway Board beat the railroad engineers in locat ing a right of way between the summit of the Cascades and Lake Keechelus. At an expense of about S15O0, the state made surveys and secured by filing plats, e tc., a right of way over vacant govern ment land for a portion of the Snoqual mie Pass state road. Later, when the railroad engineers ap peared they discovered the state had the most 'available route, on the road wanted for Its line. Negotiations between the railroad and State Highway Commission ers have been pending for months and a settlement has been reached.

District Attorney Lomax Ends . All Gambling Within an ; Hour's -Notice. CITY'S INCOME CUT $10,000 Absence of Fines Collected From Gamblers Necessitates Drawing ' on Cash Balance Action of Authorities Is a Surprise. BAKER CITY, Or., Feb. 10. (Special.) District Attorney Lomax this afternoon went Mayor Jones one better and issued an order closing all gambling immedi ately. The order was not made public until it appeared in the Evening Herald at 4 o'clock and by 6 o'clock the lid was on tight. The order o'f the District Attorney was a great surprise, as it was thought that no further action would be taken, after the order of Mayor Johns closing gam bling on March 1. Attorney Lomax quoted that section of the law which prohibits gambling, and said that the citizens had brought evi dence before 'him that the law was being violated, and unless all gambling ceased immediately, prosecutions wduld follow. He stated that several citizens had as sisted him. in securing the evidence, but since the Mayor. had given the gamblers until March 1 to vacate they thought it only just that the gamblers should be given a warning and be allowed to re move their paraphernalia. The lid is on tight and the prediction is made that it will not be removed again. The city treasury derived-a revenue of about 10.000 last year from gambling. In making up the budget of expenses for this year the Council figured on a like amount this year, and now the city must draw on its surplus cash to pay current expenses.

CURES 9 SHEUMATISM The aclies and pain9 of Rheumatism are only symptoms which may be scattered or relieved with liniments, plasters, blisters, et,c, or quieted with opiates. As soon, however, as the treatment is left off or there is any exposure to dampness or cold, or an attack of indigestion, or other physical irregularity, the aggravating pains, swollen joints and tender places on the flesh return, and the sufferer finds that he has merely checked the symptoms, while the real cause remained in the blood. Rheumatism is due to a too acid condition of the blood, brought on by indigestion, chronic constipation, weak kidneys, and a general sluggish condition of the system. This acid circulating in the blood produces the pains, aches, and other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism. S. S. S., a purely vegetable remedy, cures Rheumatism by going down into the circulation and driving out the cause and making this life-stream pure, rich and healthy. When the blood has been cleansed of the irritating, pain-producing acids by S. S. S., the pains and aches cease, the muscles become soft and pliable, the health is built up, and Rheumatism completely and permanently cured.

Throw out the old-time physics. Look back at your childhood days. Remember the physic that mother insisted on once in a while -rxastor oil, salts or cathartics. How you hated them. How you fought against taking them. How you dreaded their after-effects. That was all wrong, but then nobody knew better. With our children it's different. They belong to the day of the gentle in medicine. The day of harsh physics is over. We don't force the bowels now; we coax them. We have no dreaded after-effects. And the dose is a candy tablet. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't know what they do. The children's revolt is well-founded. Their tender bowels are harmed by them. The modern way is to give a gentle laxative, and to give it more frequently. To keep the bowels always active. The best method is Cascarets. One-half a tablet, as often as needed, does more than anything else to keep a child well Cascarets are candy tablets. They are sold by all druggists, but never in bulk. Be sure you get. the genuine, with CC C on every tablet . The price is 50c, 25c and Ten Cents per Box see
