There is no sphere of existence that

Siberia during the long winters, each
native sleeps with his feet on a dog.
Americans would hardly approve of
this method, but we can have a better

h hot Water Bottle is an improve

the feet warm. It affords a lot of
comfort at very trifling cost, and it's
odd that anybody would be without
one. We have a good assortment
of Hot Water Bottles, the dedendable,
guaranteed kind, and are making very
satisfactory prices on them. .

' The benefits of the railroad broth
erhood are now bolng appreciated by
railroad men more keenly, perhaps,
than at any time In the history of the
organizations. Owing to the hill in
freight traffic on all the railroads this
winter, large numbers of railroad men
are Idle and the members who are
working are assessed heavily to help
support those whose Jobs have vanished.
Eevry day numbers of Idle railroad
men pass through the city In every
direction seeking employment, but
find conditions much the same wher
ever they go. , '
Engineers, conductors, firemen and
brakemen are among the Idle em
ployes who are seen here dully and
In all departments the same glut of
idle labor Is found.
The opening of the North Bank
road and the extension of the West
ern Pacific are looked upon as possi
ble fields for employment, but al
ready the operating departments of
Tilth those. stems have more appli
cations for positions that can be sup
plied and railroad men on the O. R.
& N'. are wondering what all the idle
men are going to do. Pendleton E.

nig Slump In Itcnl Kstap Values at
Seattle riuic of Talk.
Tvwtlsnd. Ore.. Jan. 16. Because
the big slump In real estate values and
general financial depression In Seat
tle, It Is hlnhly probable that the
Ala:ka-Yukon-i aeHlu exposition will
be postponed from 1909 until the fol
lowing year. Some of the most siib
startial business men of the Sound
city, backers of the stnunchest klni
of the great project, have already
started a movement o abandon the
plan of holding the fair next year.
The reasons for such a movement,
which conies as a. big surprise to the
whole northwest, Is set forth In detail
In an exhaustive editorial by Colonel
Blethen of the Seattle Times. Colonel
Bbjthen declares that he Is voicing
the sentiments of the men who are
to supply the "sinews of war" for the
exposition.
""he first Intimation that the expo
sition directory was tip against a btick
vnll In Its efforts to realise on the
Hale shore lands which were to sup
ply a bulk of the exposition fund, was
lirnusht out a couple of weeks ago at
1 hearing of the Washington State
ualtmad commission, at Olympla,
Alien Seattle real estate men testified
.'iider oath that realty values had
liopped 25 per cent In Seattle within
lie past year.
Since then conferences have been
leld frequently over the dilemma and
efforts have been made to dispose of
;iart of th S. attle shore lands to Port
land capitalists, the matter having
been laid before the Oregon state'
commission for the A.-Y.-P. exposi
tion. Members of tile Oregon com
mission are wondering what to do for
v.,. reuson thev have already pro
gressed considerably with plans for
the $".0,000 building it will erect at
the fair, and steps have been taken to
begin collecting both state and Indi
vidual county exhibits from the state,
$S0,0Ou naving been appropriated for
that purpose.
