I un6SY CLOSING f AVORED WHEREVER 11 IS TRIED In a front-page story the Spokesman-Review gives the opinion of three of the leading newspaper men ef the north went on the subject of Sunday cloning, follows: Three of tbe moat widely known newspaper nutn of the Pacific north west, representing the three leading north coast cities, eulogized the 8un day cloning of saloons, - the eulogies being made after. experience with the non-Sunday aaloon in their home eltles. The gentlemen referred to are 8. A. Perkins, owner and publisher of the Tacnma Ledger; C. 8.' Jackson, pub- Seattle. Speaking of conditions In Portland where the closed saloon on Sunday has been thoroughly, tried out, Mr. Jackson said: Portland Llkca Clotted Saloon. "Tbe general feeling In Portland anent the closed saloon on Sunday Is that closing Is for the best Interests and were the matter of an open or i closed saloon on Sunday to be brought to a vote I would be surprised if the saloon men themselves were to vote for the return of the open saloon. "Under the old rule of the open sa loon crime In Portland was far more nrevalent than now. And th ncvim. Usher of the Oregon Journal of Port-! panylne benefits of the changed plan land, and 8. P. Weston, business manager of the Post-Intelllgencer, of have resulted In general approval.

"For over seven years I suffered with catarrh of .the stomach, and for the past year I waa lame with rheumatism. I attributed this to my Btoniach trouble, aa my cir culation was very poor. What food I ale would turn to gas almost at once. 1 would have a sensation of bloating1, and would have to belch frequently to relieve this. My heart also became affecteu, and I would suddenly become dizzy aud have palpi tatioua. I wa9 tired and dull and despondent at all times. I lost a great deal of flesh, and was nervous and depressed. This went on for over seven years, although I spent hundreds of dollars tryinz to get relief. , "When Cooper was in Boston, i heard a good deal about his ldc on stomach trouble. Next, on or two friends told me thut his rafedlclnes had greatly helped then. - I purchased some of the Nej Discovery medicine. Today I am no.wectly well; I sleep Ilka a boy, can jftt anything and have no rheumatlsnC or heart trouble. I no longer brave any ' gas on my stomach. and Mel as I did years aeo. No onoi more astonished by these) than myself. They are remark but true. This Is Indeed a woo derful medicine." The Cooper preparations hare been more widely sold and discussed since being Introduced than anything of the kind ever before sold by druggists. Wa soil them and explain their nature. A. i. lilli. of theaters on Sunday, and do not be lieve the public would approve of such closing. Saloon closing In Portland haa not resulted in general enforce ment or puritanical lawa. The sa loon is the Interest Involved under the change. '"In Portland the saloons close every morning at 1 o'clock. Sunday Included. That hour gives theater parties and late diners ample time to finish their , dinners, and accommo dates the ' restaurants and restaurant patrons accordingly.'.' , : , Mr. Weston,- of the Seattle P.-I. said that the Sunday closing of sa loons had been in vogue in that city for a year, and every one was pleased with the outcome. Since the cloaing the police recorda have shown a marked Improvement, there being far less crime and disorderly conduct than before the new rule went Into effect. Speaking as to the result In Taco- ma, Mr. Perkins of the Ledger, said: Cloning bt GimmI for Twoma. "I am in favor of the closing of sa loons on Hunday. I believe It Is a good thing 'for the community; for the working class and for the people In general. "We have beep working as a closed town on HundayS for some time, and If the matter of opening or closing were now put iu a ma ui t',lt pvc; inn cornea saioon would carry over whelmingly; and I believe the time is .ast coming when the saloon men themselves are recognizing that it Is for their best interests as well as the public; and when they obey the laws on the statute books they dignify their own lives and their business thny are legitimatizing their busin.ss. The saloon business when conducted along lines of the law, order and de cency Is Just as legitimate as the green grocer's business: and the liquor in terests are finding that It Is to their Interests to obey the law and to run their places In an orderly manner. "I do not believe It is for the best Interest to close everybody and every thing on Sunday; but I think It is for the best Interests of the people to Hose the saloon on Sunday."

Statistical Abstract. m of it AT KAMELA A pleasing bit of news to La Grande business men Is the announce ment of the Pacific Express com pany, that an office Is to be opened at Kamela on February 1. N. Seeman is to be the new agent. Absence of - an office at the rail road town has been cause of much trouble to local merchants who have occasion to ship suppliea and provis ions to the summit. Unless parties were there to receive it on arrival, ex press matter was transported at great risk. Commencing with the first of next month, however, there will be no more trouble on1 this score. Office at Pilot Rook. On the date on which the Kamela office becomes established, the Pa cific Express company will establish a new offlce"at Pilot Rock. Seven Remarkable Senators. Wuaiiiufciuu, Jr. 9. last row of seats on the democratic side of the senate chamber sit seven men who are, In many ways, the mont re markable who ever wore a t ga. There is Gore of Oklahoma, the first totally blind senator, and his col league, Cv.en, Oescemlant of Chero kee Indian chiefs. There is the youngest senator, Bryan of Florida, ind the oldest, Whyte of Maryalnd, rtith a half century between them, al though they sit side by side. There Is "Fiddling Bob" Taylor of Tennes see, who fiddled his way Into the senute, and Bankhead of Alabama, who ran for the house and landed In lis present august position. Last, but not least among that Illustrious seven, Is Jefferson Davis of Arkan sas, sworn foe of the "plutes" and the democratic Demosthenes of the most maligned state of the union. Tuft Men After Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 29. Sup porter.? of Secretary Taft today began circulating petitions In every district of Wisconsin and also for delegates at large, In the hope of capturing the state's delegation to the republican national convention, despite the am bitions of Senator La Follette. Ut:;Vr the primary law, no definite nr. n could be taken until today, hut tne Taft men will henceforth carry on the fight with vigor. Sonie districts, the Taft supporters admit, will nrobablv be for La Follette, but the adherents of Roosevelt's candidate believe they can show that Wisconsin does not stand unanimously for the radical Ideus of its famous senator.
