representatives that the aggregate
payroll, covering the buildings of the
great central packing establishment
of the Northwest, during the 12 months
that will be required to complete It,
will be In excess of $1,000,000 and will
more likely reach $1,250,000. Hy the
same authority It Is estimated that the
amount of money expended by the two
railroad systems In tapping the Pack
liiKtown district with extensions and
HldetrackH will not run below an addi
tional $250,000, so that there Is bound
to be a wonderful "opening up" In the
lalxir market within the next few
months In this field alone.
Swift & Company will, as soon as
the plant Is completed, give employ
ment to about 1000 men and women In
all departments of their establish
ment. When the plant Is In full op
eration the number of people will ag
gregate not less than 1500. To take
care of this vast army of toilers, the
Swift people plan a complete town
site and residence district for their
employes, with all modern Improve
ments and Institutions common to
communities of that size, it being es
timated that this one plant will he

of at least 5000 people.

FULTON RUSHES HIS BILL.
Keep Bright And Yo
Will Keep Bsy
Electric light is the magnet that draws trade. The
bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People
can no more resist the attraction of a brilliant, Electric
ally lighted store than they can resist the clarion call of
a brass band.
Is yoar competitor with the Electrically illuminated
show windows, bright interior and sparkling Electric
Sign getting an advantage over you? The moth never
flutters around the unlighted candle! Up-to-date stores
nowadays consider shop-window lighting a necessity,
whether they remain open after dark or not. Competi
tion forces modern methods.
A show window brilliantly illuminated with Electric
light will make many a sale 4 4 the night before. " Elec
tric light compels attention, makes easy the examination
of your display, shows goods in detail and fabrics in
their true colors.
Arid don't neglect the Electric Sign. It is soliciting
"tomoriowV business every moment it is lighted-burn-ing
your name in the public mind.
It is a solicitor that never becomes weary never
stops work-- costs little.
Would Have National Government Buy
Willamette Locks.
Senator Fulton made a speech In
the Senate Friday in support of his
resolution authorizing the Secretary
of War to Investigate and determine
the cost of purchasing the canal and
locks at Oregon City. He asked that
the resolution be referred to the Com
merce Committee, and expects an
early, favorable report.
Fulton said that the locks, In pri
vate ownership, were a detriment to
commerce, In that ships passing up
anil down the Willamette are required
to pay toll. Recause of the amount of
commerce tributary to the river, he
declared that the river should bs
opened to free navigation, and predicts
that, if the Government acquires the
bcks, river traffic would largely In
creasl". Ho explained that the State
has already appropriated $300,000 to
asslHt In the purchase on the condition
that Congress appropriate the balance.
He hopes to have the estimate of
the Army Engineers before next ses
sion, so that the necessary appropria
tion can he made In the river and har
bor bill to be passed next session.
There will be no river and harbor bill
this session.

When an eminent authority an
nounced In the Scranton (Pa.) Times
that he had found a new way to treat
that dread American diseasJtheuma
tism, with just common, every-day
drugs found in any drug store, the
physicians were slow indeed to attach
much importance to the claims. This
was only a few months ago. Today
nearly every newspaper In the coun
try, even the metropolitan dailies, is
j announcing It and the splendid results
achieved. It Is so simple that any one
I can prepare it at home at small cost.
I It is made up as follows: Get from
any good prescription pharmacy Hutu
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon. one ounce; Com

and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime. These a-
all simple Ingredients, making an ab

Rheumatism, as every one knows, Is
a symptom of deranged kidneys. It is
a condition produced by the failure of
the kidneys to properly filter or strain
from the blood the uric acid and other
matter which, If not eradicated, either j
in the urine or through the sin pores, i
remains in the blood, decomposes and '
forms about the joints and muscles, i
causing the untold suffering and de-.
formlty of rheumatism. j
This prescription Is said to be a
splendid healing, c'eanslng and Invlg-
I orating tone to. the kidneys, and gives
I almost immediate relief in all forms of ;
J I bladder and urinary trouble and back-1
' ache. He also warns people In a lead-
; Ing New York paper against the dis-
criminate use of many patent medl-
' cines.
